Ok, since this forum needs some "spicier" threads I´m gonna go a little borderline and show you this link: www.landoverbaptist.org/news0704/homoprevention.htmlI know it´s a bit ... explicit, so I can understand if this gets deleted, but on the other hand it´s simply amazing what this christian community has to offer. I desperately tried to find a disclaimer revealing the parody, but it seems they want to be taken seriously.... Don´t miss the "What would Jesus do"-thong and the other gems all over these sites. ;D

Well if it is legit which I doubt, then it shows they have a sense of humour, either that or they're one strange bunch

They may not think like some but they are trying to preserve their religion.
I wonder what is worse, "these Baptists" or the religion that allows one to:
Prevents women from attending school.
Removes their daughters clitoris so she won't get the urge to have a sexual relation.
Kill their daughter/sister because she's not a virgin when marrying.
The ones that kill their female offspring because they will cost the family to marry them off.
I'll take a Baptist over these others any day.

Idiots like nice people transcend all religions. Don't need to be Baptist to be an A-hole. But I will say this, the ones that truly practice their religion be it Baptist, Muslim, traditional Chinese folk...all have one ting in common and that is the "real" ones are usually the most tolerant. The fanatics that think they know the only way are then ones I worry about cause they are the ones starting the wars and propagating racism and intolerance.

give that man a prize, agree wholeheartedly, the new testament preaches tolerance, the koran preaches tolerance, the modern Jews preach tolerance, in the prophet Jesus's name? Fundementalists who kill are breaking with the tradition of their faith. And fundementalists who have no ability to accept others beliefs are guilty of the same crime. It aint rocket science, believe me I understand rocket science, this hatred fueled nonsense world I live in governed by bigots, can't understand: complex maths involving several unreal dimensions and needing me to get my head around multi dimensional field maths: easy: humanity? Pointlessly complicated, follow your damned faith for Christs sake or be damned, and I mean that quite literally, he gave his life for your sins, stop giving your life to create intolerance: not his message?

Oh come on that's not meant to be taken literaly obviously if you're in bed you can take them off, I think it's suposed to be a kind of metaphor for the fact that girls don't always wear socks. In a broader religous context the clothes maketh the man, do you see where I'm going. Man most definatley does not maketh the clothes? That idea is preposterous?!!?!

My neighbor was arrested last night for having sex with a girl while standing up.
Local religious authorities indicated that this activity was TOO MUCH like dancing...

he's referring to many religious practices in many different cultures. e.g in India it's not unknown for the husband of an adulterer to kill his wife and get off scot free and the clitoris thing is an African Muslim tradition I think; pretty barbaric as far as I can see and serves no real purpose. As usual he's a tad misinformed but there are a few too many religions that practice some very saddening rituals so I too would feel more happy with Baptists than some of the odd religious practices that pass for fundamentalist faith. If I'm gonna have to put up with fundamentalist clap trap and self delusional blather fine; whatever floats your boat; I'd rather it be non threatening fundamentalist clap trap that didn't infringe mine or my female relations civil liberties. But then that is a western viewpoint I guess.

A boy must always wear socks? Without them, how could one truly enjoy oral-sox? Ok everyone, I have some bread and wine here - Let's pretend that the bread is a human body and the wine is the blood - CHEERS AND BON'APPETITO!
