  Where do you get that I cant see that child molestation is worse than adultery. That is exactly my point. That it is worse. And my second point is that the BIBLE doesnt even mention in passing that child molestation is worse than adultery, or any other crime, sin or action. The bible, supposedly from almighty god does not even provide an age of consent. In fact that is exactly my contention that if it were truly from an almighty loving god who felt the need to condemn, homosexuality, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and other forms of sexual congress, that it would in fact have provided an age of consent and stated in amidst all those other forms of forbidden sex that child sex was forbidden. But it did not.

  Notice I said I do not need the bible to tell me or the watchtower or anyone else that child molestation is wrong. Because I know it is wrong period without the misguided steps of some ancient, backwater, people who often married children. And I am not surprised when a bible believer doesn't believe it is wrong, if that bible believer bases their entire life on that worthless piece of trash. Why is it a piece of trash? Again because it did not see fit to provide an age of consent so that its followers would not molest kids or marry kids!

  I suggest you read my story. Then combine that story with my statement there and you will see that as I said in my last post on this thread

  But the bible does not mention molestation at all. In fact that is the main reason I reject the bible. Assuming the child was married at 8, 9, 10, 11 or older, but was still a child, the bible does not condemn it.

  Notice I said that is the very reason I reject the bible, because it does not mention molestation at all.

  ==================

  It is similar to the ex witnesses decrying that the witnesses disfellowship women who are raped. Putting them under the microscope in a judicial meeting. That is right, it is repugnant that they do that. But then where do they get it? From the equally repugnant law in the Torah that required a woman to be stoned if she was raped and did not scream out, if she was married. Of course a better fate awaited her unengaged comrad who was raped, she could only be forced to marry her rapist, and never get a divorce from him, if her father so chose. This along with the fact that child rape is not even mentioned, including child rape, legalized, by the marraige of the child to an adult, and the bible's silence on the issue of sex crimes, while all other nations had strict laws favoring the victim and not the abuser, are my main reasons for rejecting the bible, its writers, and its god, completely and out of hand.

  I will go with the Irish laws, and spiritual procedures, where a rapist, of a child or an adult woman, were either summarily executed, or shunned by all of the society. Yes DFing does have its place, for those that would do these heineous crimes. Too bad the writers of the bible didn't think that way.

  Well, this person may or may not be sick. However he is right on a couple of things. The bible does not say that child molestation is worse than adultery. It probably could be stated that child molestation is a form of adultery or fornication. Sex outside the marraige bonds. But the bible does not mention molestation at all. In fact that is the main reason I reject the bible. Assuming the child was married at 8, 9, 10, 11 or older, but was still a child, the bible does not condemn it. In fact they often married children, as do muslims to this day. Thankfully the Jews have evolved, as have most christians. But if we are honest we can admit the bible does not have an age of consent. I guess almighty god forgot to put that in. Or better yet how about it being simply that men made the whole thing up according to the customs, including the vile ones, that they were already practicing.

  I do not need the bible to tell me that child molestation is wrong. I do not need the watchtower to tell me it either. Nor do I need someone to tell me I need to report it. It is time we stopped hiding behind religion and started acting like responsible people, and started protecting those who cannot protect themselves.

  Yeah that is an awesome show. Her character is really powerful. But at the same time has certain weaknesses. I think it really explores the hero quest well.

  As to your name, hey, you can choose whatever name you want. One day soon i will post about finding your own true name. But for now let me just say, booooooooyah!

  WHO..decided the Bible canon?

  by gumby in

  so with all the writers around during,and after jesus time....who decided which books would be part of the bible?.

  did god say...."i want his book, and his book and...let's see....his book....,to be part of my word.

  is that how it happened?

  The first question to be asked in regards to the canon is "Did Jesus really exist as a living human being?" Once you begin to unravel the foundation for this claim, and see what the first century church fathers were actually arguin, not that Jesus was god, or the son of god, but that he even actually existed (See Justin Martyrs Discussion with Trypho the Jew for a good example) because so many pagans and jews were telling them simply they were wrong. No such fella existed. Until three and four centuries went by and the machine and created a well fabricated fantasy.

  The Christ Conspiracy, The Greatest Story Ever Sold is a good place to start. Not only does it give some cursory information about the bible itself, but about the actual history of christianity based upon those documents we have extant. She draws some stretched conclusions at times. But her facts are real.

  Is one I have heard a lot about and I intend to purchase it soon. The Jesus Mysteries : Was the 'Original Jesus' a Pagan God? The short answer. Damn straight he was.

  It should be simple enough. If you have another ID, post here, giving a single clue about yourself in whatever form you want. Then we can all begin guessing.

  Now that the thread is over, I thought I would explain the very very bad poetry.

  The moon reflects the sun. Sun gods are usually male.
  The sky blankets the earth. Sky gods are usually male.
  That which is above, is clouds. Cloud/sky gods are usually male.
  That which comes below, again clouds in the form of fog, again usualy male.
  That which the lord died upon, a cross or stake. BOTH are phallic symbols, thus again symbols of the male. (Contrary to the WT's position that the cross is a phallic symbol but a stake is not.)
  Also a cross sits ontop of a steeple, both the cross and steeple being phallic, thus male symbols.
  Why only? Y only? If I am not Y only I must be XY, male.
  Water is drunk, a female symbol. I am not female.
  Monty Python didn't search for nothing. Though that was a good guess. No, he searched for what? The Holy Grail. Grails and Cauldrons are symbols of the female. I am not that thus I am male.
  Finally, plum hit it on the head. That which is hidden behind a veil is a woman, I am not a woman. That leaves me to be a male.

  Since this poem was in reference to Lilacs question, at least tellus whether you are male or female, the allegory throughout should be pretty evident now. Plum did a pretty good job of analysing it. Hit right on the mark with a few of them. Though it wasnt sexual innuendo, it was gender innuendo.

  Now to Xena's Question about my nationality.

  Americans call themslves a melting pot. This is fine imagery but I prefer being a shish kabob. All of the nationalities in the world live here. We are the only ones that can say that. Rather than losing our flavor in a big kettle though, I think we mix, like a kabob, and enhance each other.

  Those thought to wear horns are the Vikings, the Scandanavians. They never did, its a myth. The ones who actually did were the celts. Especially the Irish.
  The french lost wars, two in particular. And the USA won some. In fact those same wars.
  The Famine Irish fled Eire to the USA and our protection.
  I am thus of the Diaspora of the Irish, the dispersed people.
  Hunters in the snow, Scandanavian.
  Fishers on the sea, french, with their snails, and Irish, for whom fishing has always been a large industry.
  Being from the old world, is europe, and three races I have then, Irish, Scandanavian, and french. (Yes I have scots, but they are really Irish)
  I am from the new world, lived and will die here. The United States.
  The last was a poor attempt at some wordology.
  Oh that which you sought to know...[line removed]
  high and valleys are not too low...[line removed]
  Oh do you need yet another clue.

  Oh, High Oh, Ohio.

  Also my comment to Butalbee about not confusing me. Many of yall know I am easily confused. I was voted most gullible in Hygh School.

  Then I tossed out something which Cassiline got. And I am he who writes really bad poetry. That clinched it for her. But of course so did my post, which she provided the link to. That was many many months ago, so I am still surprised anyone remembered it.

  I have to say I kinda like that post. hehehe.

  And it was big fun for me. Glad to see it was for some of yall also. We will have to come up with some events in the future. Perhaps posting them to the humor section. Little mysteries. But I doubt I can do the "Who Am I" thing again.

  However just to be sure I will post the other names I will use. But I have NOT registered them. If I do I will tell you all plainly. I affirm that by my hair, by my eyes, and by my teeth.

  I will affirm again a second time that I wont use these names without telling you all it is me.

  And yet finally a third time I affirm that these names will not be used by me unless and until I state plainly in my Hygh or Ini nick that I am going to be using them.

  There, I am bound by it now per Irish custom. I can't even blarney it. I did this anyhow in case someone registered them away from me. Then yall know it is NOT me.

  Paganpathofprovocation
  Aorthoir
  AorthoirAnBroc
  SovereignLordJehovah
  RedHunter
  Shiva
  Brahma
  Vishnu

  Though the last three I have not used in years.

  So since I cannot play this game again. We will have to come up with some interesting mystery games. Unless someone else wants to play Who Am I?
