Fossa Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Broccoli: It also seems like younger, more freshly picked Broccoli is a lot better, like when it starts to show up in the garden, if you garden, or at the local farmer's market. I'm very eager to see the first local MD/VA/PA veggies this year; the Safeway near us is an abomination of wilted, withered, bespotted and dubious produce, and the only thing walkable..... Fortunately, the farmer's markets on Weds and Sunday start in April, and I can then have a lot more variety.

Saxon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 This is going to have to be a double post, because it's so hilarious. I found a verse in the bible that claims god turns people gay out of spite, if they don't worship him: "25 They... worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts... Men committed shameful acts with other men," https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A25-27&version=NIV I guess this means that Christianity is the true religion, because that shit is so stupid that you couldn't make it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry picking the bible is such a fun past-time isn't it? <: I have no interest in starting a religious debate circle jerk. So as a Christian I'll simply comment that this is a passage by Paul (whom most anti-gay bible verses come from) and he was talking about the Romans (IE Gentiles) giving themselves over to idolatry and sexual perversion as part of their pagan worship. God wasn't "making people gay." He was saying, "You wanna reject me, worship false gods and act like sluts? So be it. Reap the consequences of your own actions." To quote C.S Lewis, "There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, ‘Thy will be done.’ All that are in hell chose it." As WolfNight mentioned~ its a free will thing. God gives people over so that they will experience the ruin of their sin and call out to him for salvation. The origin of the word 'Christianity' meant, "little Christ." Because his followers attempted to emulate Jesus Christ. And as a Christian myself, its in that sense that I attempt to model my life. While Paul had many strong opinions, Jesus is the final word of the matter. And his word was to love each other, don't judge each other, try not to be a dickwad, acknowledge your own imperfection and seek God as a result. That's all. All sins are equal in the eyes of God and everyone has sin so dick waving and trying to act holier than anyone else is idiotic and Christians that do do it are missing the point Jesus was trying to make. But that's just my opinion. And on a less serious note~ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refer to cherry picking because you took a small snippet quote out from a rather long dictation by Paul on the state of the Roman people and acted as if it was word of God stating that God makes people gay as punishment. The bible isn't a rule book. Its a collections of historical stories relating to God. Not every passage in it is a play by play of how to live your life. The only true authority to dictate how to live your life is God. So its rather hard to go wrong when you follow Jesus's word as he is God. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
