after reading the topic with Nitro's problems....

Parts don't match.

I think religion is a bad thing, that doesn't mean I want to ban it. Am I grossed out, well yeah by the thought with my family but if other people want to do it then what does that matter to me?

As for pedophillia, I think the age of consent should be lower than it is but pre-pubescent is right out. 15-14 is probably the right age (with scaling so maybe a 16-yo can sleep with a 14-yo but not a 40-yo). Any younger than that there's clear harm.

16 with 14 but not 16 with 40? What's the difference?

[Tails82]

The difference is whatever Nitro feels, a shifting yardstick of things he may or may not like today. Right now you can have all the sex whenever, but don't light up a cigarette in that bedroom, or have cups a certain size in your fridge, or any meat.

Teens having sex with teens is growing up. Teens having sex with much older adults is usually exploitation. Not always true, but often enough that I think a ban is the only sensible course.

And Tails at least I'm making the judgements personally instead of sitting around trying to figure out what my skydaddy might think about it. Here's a hint, if you supposedly have a personal relationship why don't you just ask him yourself? Oh right, you can't.

[Chromeo]

Oh, and I actually meant not 14 with 40. Though 16 with 40 is still kinda iffy.

[Tails82]

Ok so your personal judgments have no binding on me, stop telling me how to live my life etc.

[kode54]

But I'm sure you think your personal judgements should have binding on him, because you didn't arrive at them yourself, you heard them from your family, who heard them from another family, who all heard it through the grapevine that it came from a book that was written by people from 1500 years ago back when people could talk freely with the great skydaddy.

Naw, back in the day they weren't even really sold on the whole "one god above all" thing, and nowadays they seem to forget that the acceptance of other gods was even an issue.
It shows up in the bible a few times, with God telling his followers to ignore the other gods like Apis, Astarte, Chemosh, and Molech. (Apis has been mostly retconned out of the bible, but the other three I listed were mentioned too often)

I'm not trying to legislate how to live your life, as long as it doesn't hurt others do what you want, have sex with dudes or if you don't want to don't. Screw girls before marriage or don't, up to you. Other people doing what they like isn't somehow infringing on your rights. If you don't want to get gay married then don't.

^Date's a bit off, if we're talking about the old testament, and you maade some slightly innaccurate claims, but it's cool, I'll let it slide

Also, nobody really believes they have to do religion. It's just that they believe it's the right thing to do, so they do it. Also that the benefits of practicing (i.e. personal gratification and heaven) outweigh the detriments of non-observance (i.e. heaven or whatever punishment is listed there.

I remember Molech a bunch of times, not the others. Certainly not a few times.
But what are you saying, Zetta? I mean, even in Bible times, they would have been considered false gods, mere idols, by the Hebrews.

[Tails82]

If you don't want to get gay married then don't.

If I don't want to pay for a lie, I won't do that either.

[Chromeo]

Your words not mine. And two of those do harm others (the cups are probably fine).
