It's a sin and should be dealt with like any other. No better or worse.

I'm not going in to the graphic details but there's a reason lubrications is almost always required.

Sit down Saesneg, it was my God who gave you your morals.

So thank you for reminding us of an example of how you are taking aspects of society from thousands of years ago and trying to apply it to modern days.

I know you're not really that stupid. I no longer 'apply the rules about milk and meat' because we are told we're no longer subject to OT testament law.

After all, they're from "different" times.
So which is it Russ?
Cherry picking, all, or nothing, with regards to the OT and the laws within.
How about the NT?
That was 2000 years ago, aren't you taking things out of context if you try to apply the NT to modern times?

Cherry picking? What the hell are you on about now? The NT was, if you will, an update on God's Law. Times changed as the Saviour had come and the requirements were different. It is written in the NT that we are no longer subject to the laws of the OT - you knew that, right?
The NT can be applied to modern times easily, the difference being you deliberately take matters out of context to continue your rubbishing of my views! It's not all that difficult to see.

I tell you what, how about you go and research your points before you try to use them to criticise the bible. It helps to have a little knowledge on a subject matter before you discuss it.
