My views on "THE" Bible...if there is such a thing anymore since there are like 20 gazillion different bibles that have different teachings and meanings depending on the day of the week and who is interpreting it...would probably reflect an Athiest viewpoint. I can't stand organized religion anymore. They all want to preach THEIR views and opinions while at the same time....not practicing what they preach. IMHO organized religion is a huge crock of shit that for the most part is self serving for those who make huge profits from it. I think every person on this planet short of a few mentally disabled people know and understand the difference between right and wrong. There are too many documented cases in EVERY church and religion where high ranking church officials have stolen money, raped or murdered children and women, and have covered up and hidden information that might reveal just how corrupt and immoral they are.

Those are shitty for whole different reasons. You're not focusing on the subject at hand, and still bringing up issues that don't relate to it. Keep trying.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostYou mean like affirmative action laws now? Yes, if it was a business that was doing it, absolutely. Going to have to go with Paul on this one. Damn I hate agreeing with him

Conventional marriage was originally a public proclamation that a woman was giving up claim to her family's inheritance and pledging to accept her husband's fortune alone.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostI'm willing to look at that if you can find the information. And anyone who doesn't like what NC is doing, the answer really is simple.
Remove the power to license from the government. If it's not licensed, it's game on for everyone. I'm actually pretty pissed I can't have more than one wife.Last edited by Treasure Chest; 05-10-2012, 12:07 AM.

You're right. People take Christ's words and meanings out of context all of the time. You can't pull a verse and hold it up without pulling entire chapters around it and before it. You can't look at what Christ said without looking at why he said it and the precedent for it in the Old TestamentOriginally posted by Hobie View PostDifferent thread, but FWIW, what I read in the bible, how the bible seems to represent Christianity/Christ's life/Christ's teachings pretty clearly, seems to be quite different than how the Political Christian Right and Christian talking heads in this country seem to portray it. It's like when someone says "What the bible is saying here, with this words isn't what it seems like, what it really means is XYZ." I always thought it meant what it said and anyone who said otherwise was changing it to fit their personal beliefs.
Just my thoughts.

If I could figure out how to bold, I would. That is exactly my point. My personal opinion really doesn't matter to anyone outside of the person I decide to pair with.Originally posted by Hobie View PostYeah, I don't think the gov't should be in people's marriages in the first place.
And for expressing that, I've been accused of quite a bit but I'm okay with it as I've heard worse. If you're going to say government has the authority to have a say in marriages, one way or the other, you're going to have to accept the decisions they make with that authority. I'm all for government staying out of everyone's life with the exception of the enumerated powers and amendments.
That said, I seriously would enjoy two wives. I can see the appeal in it and have been toying with the idea of LDS. But that's another topic.

I could be wrong, the information I'm talking about is in the bible, I think. My childhood was a little abnormal and there were times when I had to read the bible off and on. Spending that much time with it is what made me a non-believer. No disrespect to those who do, to each their own. Anyways, just something I think I read.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostI'm willing to look at that if you can find the information.

Yeah, I don't think the gov't should be in people's marriages in the first place. I don't know what the history is on that or how it started, but WTF?! LAND OF THE FREE!!! pffft

I could have sworn I read something about this before reaching the age of reason.
