So we have gender confusion
Now with the activist judge ruling, we have military confusion,.

Should we have a military court try and do a local civil ruling? We have a civilian court claiming to do a military ruling.

We can have the first gay parade in Bagdad. Gay soldiers in camos going down the streets waving rainbow flags.

The gays are instant celebrities.

News flash. Bloodwork doesn't safeguard against disease. Ever.
It is a diagnostic tool that catches disease that resulted from lack of safeguards.

Maybe we should require that soldiers be eunuchs. lol

AIDS isn't a sin, it's a disease. People can get HIV/AIDS from means other than sex.

That's wonderful Pressing. I don't think anyone could take issue with that. Praise God.

Homosexuality is one of about 2 dozen paraphilias. Aberrant sexual urges ned to be treated.

Define aberrant sexual urges. I'm honestly curious. Because even straight couples have their urges and private desires between themselves.

I don't think they'd be celebrities in Bagdad. Islamic cultures prosecute, scourge, and even execute gay people.

Right, I agree - I don't believe in looking the other way if asked about sin. And I agree - I am not going to point out the infractions in a person' life.

I'm just saying that we are at a place where it can be detrimental to point out anything these days because we have settled so much on "right of privacy". It's almost as though we have given the green light that anything goes, as long as you keep it private. Sort of like a Nike ad - Just Do It! LOL!

Anyway, I'm not trying to fix anything because I can't. I'm just rambling. It's just a digression that is sad, but we remember "where sin does abound, grace does also much more abound."

I was also thinking of how Oprah was sued by the meat industry for saying that the mad cow disease made her not want to eat another hamburger. Six years later, she wins the lawsuit. It's a crazy world.

Depends on the nature of the infraction. Could be demerits, dock in pay, re-assignment, or dismissal. Maybe the penalties should be increased in severity.

Okay, thanks. I like to know little details.

Thank you! He is going to be an awesome asset to the Kingdom of God. We have open session on Wednesday nights, which is great. Back and forth bantering, questions, etc. You would like that, Aquila.

Bit of a double standard here NOW???

What insinuation are you talking about??? Get your mind out of the gutter. I'm referring to a thread not long ago started by Baron concerning Stoneking's phony degrees, and during that fuss, the forum shut down. It was claimed by some that God had punished The Forum.

That's what I was referring to, Mr. Gutter-Dweller.

And by the way, by the time I get on this morning, you people have run off and left with my thread and I'm TEN PAGES behind. I HATE that!!!!

Oh well, that's the price I have to pay for being interesting.
