Homosexuality!

[Rhiannon]

Although blowjob has always confused me.

Suckjob would be much more accurate.

Yes, I can imagine lots of confusion and disappointment with the former.

[Rhiannon]

Well Rhi, blow jobs are not Christian, they're scientologist!

Tom Cruise is allowed one then?

[OH MY WORLD!]

Rhi, "imagine", really?

[OH MY WORLD!]

Rhi,
I suppose you can ask Tom about a BJ.

[Rhiannon]

Rhi,
I suppose you can ask Tom about a BJ.

So could you. But I doubt he's either of our types.

[OH MY WORLD!]

True, but I wasn't the one bringing up the BJ thingy Rhi. That was you, so if you need to know if Tom would goes for one, you should be the one asking him.

[Rhiannon]

No, I was asking for a religious perspective on a particular sexual activity. I know that for some religious people going for alternatives to penetrative sex is a way of preserving virginity outside of marriage.

You are the one personalising this about my own sexual preferences and I find that a form of harassment.

[Owlswing]

You get some interesting discussions on here of a Sunday afternoon sometimes ...

It's nice to be able to talk about it. When I was young we didn't dare! 

Ain't that an unpleasant truth.

A lot of today's problems with the acceptability of LGBT matters relates directly back to the attitudes at that time - attitudes that were driven, for the most part, by the Christian Church.

My R E teacher in first year at Grammar School was a little Welsh lady of the seriously Chapel persuasion and, in one discussion of various matters relating to the sinfulness of sex, she opined that the reason that the Christian church was so anti-sex and mysogynistic was becuase the highly pious clergy found that when thinking about anything relating to sex and females they got an erection just like every other male and, as they were so pious and holy, it could not be that they were having sexy thoughts so it must have been that the women were exerting an evil influence over them.

Thinking back, it was also Mrs Williams who enetered the classroom for one R E class and announced, in her pronounced Welsh accent, that we were going to have a mass debate. It took a fair while for the laughter to stop and Mrs Williams went the whole class period with a smile on her face.

Give over Lady Rhiannon!

JC is such a pure Christian boy he is probably still virgin in all respects! He ois probably such a good boiy that he has never even seen his own penis erect!

Hang on, to accuse women of exerting evil influences is mysogynist, surely it was a succubus?

Matt, I'm not going to make this personal against anyone here. Even if JC thinks this is acceptable, I don't.

I haven't read all this thread but homosexuality is not an illness to be cured. Medics tried all that in times past and the poor patients went through no end of Hell, hormone treatments, lobotomies and the Lord only knows what else.

Being gay is just how someone is, nothing wrong with it. I applaud long term, committed relationships and rejoice that gays are now able to have them openly.

Yes, surely what the world needs is more love, the celebration of love, not the fear and suppression of it.

[Rhiannon]

Lovely to see you back btw, Brownie. Hope you are well. 

[Brownie]

I want to do a thumbs up smiley for you Rhiannon but can't find one!  Thank you.  Doubt I will post much though, I'm a great one for forgetting my password etc and don't have that much to say anyway.  Nice to know I'm welcome though.

[Shaker]

Yes, surely what the world needs is more love, the celebration of love, not the fear and suppression of it.

It's funny isn't it - funny and sad - that ordinary, normally-constituted people consider love of all and any kind (romantic-sexual love; parental love; familial love; love amongst friends) to be not just a good thing amongst other good things but arguably the very best of all things without which no life worthy of the name is worth the living, and is therefore something to be applauded, cherished, supported and encouraged in every possible way at every possible turn; and yet along come religions - including or especially the ones which claim to be predicated on love - and on the basis of what they call morality carve up love into "good/right/acceptable" and "bad/wrong/unacceptable" kinds.

Bizarre.

[Brownie]

We Christians have to learn not to be bogged down by religiosity Shaker. There's the world of difference between having a faith and being religious.  Some of us lack grace at times.

What you do say is always well thought out, interesting and gracious. That's why it's so good to see you back.

I rejoined (not that I was ever not joined exactly but I had forgotten log in details etc so had to change name and all that), to particularly contact a member I have 'known' on forums since BBC days.  Well I found her and sent her a pm so job done - but now I am back I may post a bit more.  There are some interesting discussions on here and everyone seems nice.

I am slightly baffled how posting on a thread where homosexuality has been described as a disease and compared to murder, one could get to your last conclusion. Also I am sure there are a few of us on this thread standing up for the rights of homosexuals who might openly admit we are not very nice. Still you seem lovely
