A while ago I came across some very interesting information
on the ancient church. Apparently it is not against the halacha
( jewish law) for two women to be together. On another
note two men together was punishable by death.

Lesbians and bisexual women where allowed
and thought of as worthy of marraige to a High
Priest as long as they covenanted to bear children
unto him. There was apparently a priest in the post-
talmudic period who tried to make it unlawful but,
he was overturned by the other high priests.

I have a long page about this on file. Unfortunately
there is not enough space on here to post it.
I will however post the links that might be of
interest to some.

(1) Married.
(2) Engaged in consentual intercourse with a female.
(3) Fathered children.

I don't understand why any of these things would be offensive in nature to Christians.

Couldn't both men be masculine and both ladies be feminine?

It's from the Baha'i Writings. Continues, something like "throughout the regions to raise the call "Ya Bahaul'Abha..."

Do you think before the fall that he may have physically been able to walk in the garden with Adam and Eve there? Was his separation not only mental but physical? Do you think that when mans eyes were open, he could not stand to look upon a Holy God? Just wondering..........

More and more poeple everywhere are deciding not to work and care for their families. The same people will go to public aid facilities and seek assistance with shelter cost and food. Why is it that some individuals won't even work fast food, but will sit at home and get assistance from individuals who work very hard to earn a living. We would probably have less problem in the world if the man who did not work,did not eat. We would have less people and there for more resources. Also we would not have the burden of making sure there was enough money taken from the working person tp support the "man who does not work". We would also at the same time teach the next up and coming generation that it is necessary to work and contribute in order to be a part of society.

The Bible seems to condone the act of a man and a man to lie with one another; but is it actually against two people of the same gender becoming hitched?

Someone I know likes to see 'hard' men naked pictures, but considers sex between males discusting. He considers himself straight and enjoys sex with female.
What do you consider him?

I just logged on and was reading the answers to the question posed about Jesus and who He was - more like is...
And I read the response from Sukar (or something like that) and I have a question about his/her response- how do you know He was married and had three children? Do you have evidence to back this theory up? Curious...

Greeks say that Macedonian people are Greek and descended from Greeks and a bunch of other crap. I just want to know why they try to deny our existensce. Are they threatened by us? This topic should be very fun.

From asking a few simple questions people are making vast assumptions on my life. How is that possible... They think my name is simon for goodness sake. They become hostile and abusive very quickly. Are they not at peace with themselves? Do they have some crazy internal battle that they project into the world? Is this rudeness and insults really required? It is a good thing that I choose who I associate with.

Would the world be a safer and kinder place if no one ever made up religions? They seem to be the cause of alot of death and wars over something petty as a belief in where they came from. Sure its nice when you have no where else to turn for problems but why do people get so bent out of shape over each other's 'Clans'?
