So it's been a while since I was really active on the forum and I've been lurking back and answering a question or two here and there that I'm still comfortable answering. The forum I remember had it's disagreements but I can't remember a time when another member stooped so low and didn't get reprimanded (I should insert here that I don't know if Lavender has been reprimanded privately or not). I realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but there is this thing called common sense and another thing called tact. I try to teach this to a new group of students on a yearly basis and apparently you missed that lesson. If you're going to state something like that which will annoy a good many members of this community you need to back it up. The problem with finding sources is that what you might consider heresy another person might consider that part of their faith. I debated for a while about posting as I haven't been that active in a while but I felt that I had to say something. Before this comment I felt that there was healthy discussion - now I feel that you personally attacked the female members of this forum. As someone that has been around for a while you might want to back off and chill out some. Read some posts, carefully and tactfully find your place in the community.

I guess some facts can be debatable. Like abortion. It is murder. But some will debate that it is not. Still a fact people just debate it.

Then cancer treatment is murder too! Both involve removing small bundles of cells.


You may kindly keep your bible out of my uterus.
 
Like I said murder inside the womb is debatable. Murder outside the womb is usually handled properly. Take Casey Anthony for example. Most people wanted her executed, for murdering a toddler. But nobody seems to care about the thousands murdered by surgeons every year.

While I have many of the same beliefs as you, I'm really starting to get annoyed with your posts. This thead started as a discussion, but now you're just trying to bring things up for the sole purpose of arguing. There really wasn't a reason to bring abortion into this conversation. You clearly just wanted to get a rise out of people.

And the whole thing about women was completely uncalled for.
 
im sorry but i think at this point lavander needs to chill or have the mods step in or Rich him self.....as a believer my self i have found some of ur interpretations of the bible kinda offensive and a bit extremist....u have been nothing but a fire starter since the beginning of ur posts on this sites....i believe in a live and let live....even tho i believe in God i dont go pushing Him or my bible in pplz faces and i dont think this is the proper place to do so and try to start some sort of crusade, for ur own pleasure witch by the way as a christian person im pretty sure its wrong to start with!!!!

As far as plants and amoebas, I have never even heard someone ask that before, but I would say no, they probably will not go to heaven. But once again, I won't claim to fully know the answer to that question.

That would make one ugly heaven, without any beautiful green plants around ...

There are so many other things I want to reply to this threat, but I'm too tired and shall go to bed now.
It's all a lost cause, anyways. No matter what I'd try to say to question anyones believes in the bible or God himself, some people are just too blinded by their religion.

But I did love Carinata's Gregory House quote! And at least half of this thread entertained me long enough while I was uploading pictures to FB ;)

God Bless.
 
As yall have been for a week. Entertaining as usual. Besides all the chit chat I've scrolled through the classifieds and there is some really cool stuff out there in cornworld. After I get my babies feeding good maybe I can get involved. Got to go bed and get back to the grind stone. Rich paid the bills with corns but I don't. Lol.
 
One more frivolous reported post and I'm going to issue EVERYONE an infraction! It's late, I'm trying to get some work done and I'm having to come back to this thread because of yet another reported post that has nothing to do with the breaking of any forum rules. STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You can't honestly hold a debate on this matter with an intolerant fanatic and expect it to be civil without stepping on toes.
I humbly suggest that this thread is closed. The arguments Lavender uses are extreme and laced with a condescending note.
"Most heresies are started by women"- imaginary facts cannot support arguments.

Live and let live- the existence of this thread and the tone it has taken does nothing but aggravate people.
