1. We have the technology to fix that now, you know
Women can be "virgins" again, if they so desire.

2. I don't know one woman who wants to 'fix that', though I know it's
doable.

11. I don't know if it is as "popular" now
But a few years back there were stories in the press claiming that in some cultures, young women were getting "restored" so their future husbands would not know that they had sex before marriage. That is about all I know about it, never could understand the necessity.

13. Happens in the Middle East.
When I was in Egypt visiting my friend whose father moved back there to have a retirement like a king (much cheaper there) as opposed to middle class, I met a bunch of his cousins and pther friends. Some discussed that this happens quite often because college age kids still want sex, but they have to at least pretend to be virgins when getting married.

3. I just say to myself
if these republicans be Christians I am sure glad I'm not one. And I think the real God knows the difference don't you all.

4. Scary thing is that many of the people that sign is aimed at would agree with the message
Religious fundamentalists are scary people, some of them will agree with anything the Bible says no matter how crazy it is.

9. Here's an interesting one:
Edited on Thu Aug-26-10 07:23 PM by VioletLake
11 But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."

Matthew 19:11-12

12. 1 John 4:20 - “If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar.
For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen."


My favorite verse that is ignored along with any other inconvenient verses.

14. Here's another one
"But many others, who oppose the truth and are the messengers of error, will set up their error and their law against these pure thoughts of mine, as looking out from one (perspective) thinking that good and evil are from one (source). They do business in my word. And they will propagate harsh fate. The race of immortal souls will go in it in vain, until my Parousia. For they shall come out of them - and my forgiveness of their transgressions, into which they fell through their adversaries, whose ransom I got from the slavery in which they were, to give them freedom that they may create an imitation remnant in the name of a dead man, who is Hermas, of the first-born of unrighteousness, in order that the light which exists may not believed by the little ones. But those of this sort are the workers who will be cast into the outer darkness, away from the sons of light. For neither will they enter, nor do they permit those who are going up to their approval for their release."

"And still others of them who suffer think that they will perfect the wisdom of the brotherhood which really exists, which is the spiritual fellowship of those united in communion, through which the wedding of incorruptibility shall be revealed. The kindred race of the sisterhood will appear as an imitation. These are the ones who oppress their brothers, saying to them, "Through this our God has pity, since salvation comes to us through this," not knowing the punishment of those who are made glad by those who have done this thing to the little ones whom they saw, (and) whom they took prisoner.

"And there shall be others of those who are outside our number who name themselves bishop and also deacons, as if they have received their authority from God. They bend themselves under the judgment of the leaders. Those people are dry canals."

From The Apocalypse of Peter. I noticed you never specified which version of the Bible to use... :hi:
