You can also look up this 2nd Century Judaic text called the Midrash. It is also the other key commentary on the Biblical laws. Again, sad. Just sad.  |
Remarkably, you like to throw out the Midrash and Talmud without knowing anything about the recapitulation of the Commandments in Deuteronomy.

Well, I not sure what bug is up your butt, but I'm out of here. I tried to do something good but I'm afraid that this is unacceptable. But please drop the rainbow Mr. Dean. It's 21st century, after all.

Is that legitimately discrimination, or related to other issues?

If you honestly believe that, you need to look at some crime stats

If you don't know what the expression "it seems" generally means, you should do yourself a favor and find out.Edit: You probably need a hint. It's related to appearance .
|
RayRo, the meaning of appearance with one might perceive something to be, both are not necessary related thus it seems sometimes does not relate to appearance. It's like hypotheses and conclusion, similar but different.

But....I thought you were the one with a preference for having something up your butt? ....Not that there is anything wrong with that.  |

Hmm, lots of things are unacceptable, but commenting on the tone of a discussion isn't one of them.

I just realized that you don't have a clue about what we are talking about. The Torah or the first five books of the Bible are laws without commentary. The Talmudic commentaries did not come about until the 200's C.E. Two hundred year after Christ lived and died. The Talmud is what explains the laws and tells you the reasons Why. Perhaps you should check things out a bit more before you go through all this foolish exposition. If you were trying to impress me, you failed. |
This thread was very positive, now why do people have to turn something so positive into negative? Why is it when a people see a minority group topic, they start politicizing their views and/r start preaching the bible etc?! I'll be blunt here, this is a form of discrimination, think about it, let's say you look at a friend, now let's say you look at a friend who looks different, now let's say your friend in this case is black and you are white, ok and now you tell your friend that you hate racism and people of colour should not be discriminated, by saying that alone means you are being judgemental and looking at other people differently. That topic of colour would probably never come up if your friend was of same race as you, don't you think? Sometimes even with best intentions people can be racist, especially when you say you are not racist to a person of colour. That metaphor applies to any person different to you, being it their religious or none religious views, gender politics, race views, division between rich and poor etc. all vice versa and the list is endless. Can we go back to the happy positive side now?

OK! I like rainbows and think they are just spiffy. What is everyone's favorite LGBT flag? Mine is the trans flag, it has the best colors.

The only LGBT flag I know is the one with beautiful rainbow colours, is there another one? A trans flag? No pun intended but is it i.e. like here on PA a sub-genre?

Sonia, if you didn't read clearly, I certainly wasn't "preaching", particularly since I am an atheist. I was explaining the bible, which I have read and consider to be a great work of fiction.

There are a lot of different flags for different minorities within the LGBT community. Ones for bi people, trans people, asexual people, and so on. There is even one for the bear community. This is the trans pride flag:

The Dark Elf, Of course you were not, I can clearly tell you were not preaching, it's directed to what was previously said and in turn came to what you said.

P.S. It's the National Nation Flag btw

Sheesh! I made a mess of this post! The first two lines of my previous response was directed at Dark Elf and his behavior, and would only make sense if used to respond to his last post to me. Had I edited that response correctly, my comment would have only been about your show of LGBT support with your rainbow avatar. Being either a LGBT person yourself or just a LGBT supporter, I was annoyed that you did not come to my defense and that's what prompted my childish comment. The world does not work that way and it was immature of me to expect someone of the "same ilk" to come to my aid. I was publicly rude to you Mr. Cracknel, so I will publicly apologize to you for my idiotic comment. I hope that you will accept my apology and we can move forward from here. (Btw, the Trans flag is very cool also.) RR edit: dyslex spelling mistake.

The problem I see is most people on the forum do not want to attend bible study classes. In my experience when one person tries to explain the bible to another person it usually goes south quickly.
