The simple reason that that's what anyone would do if they were in his place. Russia would be the boss, and Europe would be the second-class partner. ...

Well I am not pro-Putin, but I do respect him as a leader - in comparison with, for example, Obama. Furthermore, it's a truth that there is a rich eli...

Oh yeah, Benkei is very sexy, that's exactly right... >:O

I would talk about caffeine with you but I have no experience in that. I stopped drinking coffee in highschool, and never drank it since except on ext...

Actually I think it is. I don't want leaders to bow their heads to the big money interests and treat them like servants. That's not dignifying for a l...

Well I think it's about the whole way in which you approach it. If you post something informative about black lives matter, that contains your own arg...

Man - I have to say that I'm out of words on that one.

And what's that on the bottom right then? A tattoo? >:O

>:O And what do you want me to do about that? Stitch it back for him?? On the political spectrum there is a certain class I dislike more than the prog...

Did anyone invite you here? :P

Interesting! Thanks for sharing that. I've ordered the Rockefeller Center book. He seems to have been a good man from what you say!

I'm unsure that the distinction material/immaterial has a role to play from God's POV. It's a useful distinction for us to separate, for example, our ...

Basically it's what people without a brain do when they lick up to the prevailing culture - in this case, to Hollywood-driven Leftism. I'm sure many o...

>:O Yes, yes I know. Remember that time in Soviet Russia when a woman said at the Commie party: "sex is like drinking - when you're thirsty you go dri...

See - the real problem is that they cannot understand responsibility, the progressive mind just doesn't work that way, it operates a different OS. It'...

I have a good right-wing acquaintance, and he told me that liberals and progressives just wanna smoke weed and fuck all day... I think he wasn't far o...

By what logic could God grant free-will to mankind if He Himself didn't have it? Can one give what one doesn't have? That would be silly.

Have any of you ever read Henry Ford's autobiography, My Life and Work? I'm asking because - aside from his anti-semitism which is injurious - he does...

So St. Paul put together the idea of chastity with the idea of marriage because folks are sexually obsessed lunatics. And yet, the idea of marriage an...

I disagree with the second premise. Sex is a part of a form of love. The form of love - which includes but is not limited to, nor necessarily must inc...

Yes, agreed.

The mistake is to define God with respects to absolute power, instead of to define absolute power with respect to God. Since God has ontological prima...

Actually, that's not exactly what Comrade Lenin told me... >:O

The monks fear it like plague because sex outside of marriage is a grave sin - obviously. Also being a monk is incompatible with being married - thus ...

I actually agree with that >:O

>:O Correction: sexual chastity OUTSIDE of marriage is a virtue in Christianity. Sexual chastity while married is NOT a virtue, that's precisely why S...

Perhaps.

But I already told you what sex means. It means becoming one, spiritually and physically, with the beloved. It's a symbol of unity. The way theosis is...

Sure then I would have no qualms with it, apart of course from worrying what will happen to the child?

So you're basically telling me that you agree they did the wrong thing, but you don't want to remedy it because you like it and folks are used to it. ...

Sure, it doesn't NECESSARILY follow it. But I never claimed it did. I don't think one NEEDS love. Rather one wants love, because they feel, know and u...

>:O yeaaaaaah Sure but in this case it certainly includes fucking around as you call it. I don't think they can think that if they understand their so...

Ehmm nope, I don't think that follows at all :D

I'm not a Puritanist. Heister Eggcart is more Puritanical in his views, ie sex is always evil - than I am. I actually think sex has the potential to b...

Good, so therefore it is possible to want the beloved, there is no immorality in that, just as there is no immorality in wanting God. Sure, but follow...

Okay so if I need Him, I can then either want Him, or not - that is still open to me. Of course we agree that you don't NEED to have sex to be in a re...

Well it is less controversial for sure I tend to think. For one, promiscuity is known in our Western heritage as a vice. Pretty much until the Sexual ...

Yes, the vast majority is not all of them. And loving something (or someone) doesn't include desiring it (or them)? If I love God, then don't I desire...

But the basics are precisely what is controversial. Look at Michael for example. He disagrees because he doesn't agree there is any such thing as soul...

That is true - but a very limited view of things. Not all people who have sex do it as a means of alleviating sexual appetite. Not all people who have...

Yes but what does this "being in control of their lives" concretely mean for them? It means precisely being able to sleep around. If they have the con...

lol of course not. If all I did was parrot the same explanations that we've heard before, nothing would change. I need to make new ones, find new ways...

Does that imply that I am?

Yes, and they don't want to have a child because that's blocking their right to be in control of their lives - which is codename for being promiscuous...

Yes but certain actions involve multiple evils, which is what I mean when I say less evil. For example promiscuity -> pregnancy -> abortion. That's tw...

Okay boss. Yes, she understands that, and therefore she gets rid of the fetus in order to get rid of the pregnancy which was the natural consequence o...

Because she kills the fetus, and thus refuses the natural consequence that emerged out of her being sexually promiscuous. It's not as easy to be promi...

Are you sure you disagree? I said in those two cases abortion is still evil - only that less so than in the case where it's used as an escape from the...
