Well, for what it's worth, I am again, finally, after much downtime from Fido. I was just going to post and see if there were any practicing Buddhists or anybody following Vedic traditions in the hizzy. :)

My Ex was Buddhist I may not have agreed with her religion, but she did

Hopefully we can get some quality discussion going on in here once
again. This used to be my favorite echo back in the day.

I am willing to discuss anything.

Traditionally, this echo responds to a statement of beliefs and intent by any users, with unrelenting bile & fire, if it's not held to be defensible by the majority. (mostly against "Fundies" back in the day)

There are some fundies I dont respect, like the lady who lives 10 doors north of me who thinks even as a right wing homosexual I may be, Im just as evil as an an abortionist. Sick ****.

I would've been called a Fundy back in the day (& I was, right here in HOLYSMOKE, often.), but I never did find anywhere in the Bible where Christians
were commanded to be the morality police. Let alone with a right to issue the dearth penalty.

Capital punishment was only for the courts to determine, following a rigid set of principles & rules aimed to protect the innocent accused.

Killing in war was likewise much limited & that power was given only to the rightful government of the land, to combat evil &/or to protect one's people.

As for abortion, the Bible is clear that it's not a capital crime, & that killing a fetus is not murder--it's treated as a property crime, in God's Words given to Moses. (the original Bible that is still 100% in effect for Jews, even per Jesus); Paul revised much of that Bible for the new sect he, with Peter & co, championed. But Pal, when push came to shove, identified as a Roman, not as a Jew.

Christianity (following the teachings & example of Christ) said to follow the Torah completely, without deviation, & to, in fact, follow it at a stricter level than is written.

Paulianity, however, is rather loosey-goosey.

My church, of which I was reverend, taught: "Don't be an arsehole; be nice to people."

Now, by guidance of the Holy Spirit, I am a Jew, & live by an amalgam of all the above rules, or try my best to abide by the highest standards in all my actions.

I was curious, & asked a pastor/scholar I respected, what we need do in response to homosexuality in this age.

Hew responded by asking me what the greatest commandment is. . . "To love the Ord our God with all our heart, mind, strength, & soul." I replied.

He surmised that the greatest sin must be brea89n the greatest commandment; I agreed this was logical.

He went on to point you that ever minute of every day & night we neglect to devote our ENTIRE feelings, strength, & thoughts unto God, & against a backdrop of sinning such as that, who are we to worry about a little thing called homosexuality.

This us one of my key guiding principles with regard to any judgement of others.

If asked, I respond to homesexual friends that their goal is the same as for heterosexuak people: live well, honour God, help others, & behave.

&, further, gw does the Bible define homosexuality? Butt-humping -- but gays get murdered for just holding hands or kissing - that's just plain murder, by any standards!
'
Ok, the Bible gives Sodom & Gomorrah as examples -- what happened in Sodom? The people were so sex-crazy, they were willing to rape strangers, just because they were fresh meat. :(

That's a far cry different sin than holding hands & necking in a public park! Or any none of anyone's business marital expression of love in the privacy of a private home.

Only God has authority to judge/condemn. I may be wrong in my leniency, but it doesn't feel wrong, & if I am, I'll have consequences for teaching wrongly, but I can only hope I'm judged by the same standard as I judge.

What is a "right-wing homosexual?" You accept the conservative/Republican platforms, save for any mentions of condemning homosexuality?

Live in peace, my brother.

I'm with you on this. God is higher than any book, including the bible.
