The Lord made a everlasting covenant with Abram.

Genesis 12:1-2
1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you;
I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

Genesis 13:14-17
14 The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring [a] forever. 16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. 17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."

Genesis 15:18-21
18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river [d] of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.

I don't know how heterosexual women feel about being with another woman so this is addressed to the men. I am averse to even touching another man in a sexual way and I'd assume that other hetero men are as well. I would never choose to have sex with a man. I'm not sexually attracted to men. If I even hear a male voice while I'm masturbating or having sex, I immediately get out of the mood and have to wait until the talking stops. Can someone give me a reason why a guy would choose to be gay? Does that make any sense at all? Do the "gay is a choice" people actually believe that every gay man originally liked women but then said "to hell with that I'd rather have sex with my friends". lol It makes no logical sense, much like everything else Christians believe.

Would you accept if a country (lets say Russia) set up a country for the Native Americans in the USA, and told all Americans that they should all live in Florida, and be contempt with that?

Maybe the Native Americans would offer you a bit of Texas too, if you refused would you be out of order?

If someone said he wanted to remove this new Native American country from the face of the earth (not the people) whould he be a mad man?

Besides "eclectic" or "fluffy bunny"! Is there a name for the path of someone who:

- places much much more emphasis on ritual/spellwork/etc than on deity
- follows the Sabbats and Esbats
- follows the Wiccan Rede...usually
- has no problem with black magic (sorry, can't make myself spell it "wrong")

It's so much easier to find a local group if you actually have a name for what you do!

such as the bible being written 2000 years after jesus? or there being no counter evidence to evolution? how many "facts" are actually BS that atheists use?
to argue this point try backing up your rants with actual evidence instead of just going on about nothing. Saying you have evidence but never actually showing it means you do not have evidence.
sources people please provide actual sources (common sense, life experience, or something similar are not good sources)

if it is acceptable to blame circumstantial situations for failures, how would you explain those who have grown up in abuse and neglect, yet are successful in life spiritually?

If not, why not? Are we more sinful than the people in the Bible? If we are not more sinful then why would He talk to them and not to us?

Most western societies legislate that marriage should be between a man and a woman. What is the problem of marriage of one man to three women at the same time? If they are all consenting adults?
