| Rightling said: But you are judging a pedophile based on their sexual orientation, right? |
No. I am not judging them on that. Their actions are blatantly illegal and damaging to others.
| Rightling said: What if they were just born that way, they have no choice being attracted to children. I'm not comparing the morality, I'm saying that we do judge people. You find pedophiles morally wrong and homosexuality okay but to a lot of other people, homosexuality is just as disgusting. They don't care that it's two adults or that it's legal. |
Your argument is silly.
Pedophiles are held to a different standard because they destroy/damage/harm other peoples lives.
Even if they were hypothetically born that way... It would ultimately be irrelevant, no one has the right to destroy, damage or harm others.
| Rightling said: In any case, I don't think a business should be forced to provide a service by the government. If it was a vital service like health care, electricity or internet, that would be different. The less the government is involved in guiding morality, the better. |
In any case, the angle you are trying to take is going to end here, pedophiles isn't what the discussion is about.
| NightlyPoe said: No, you are interpreting the Bible as you see it. There are literally hundreds of Christian denominations each with their own interpretation of the text which breaks down even further to the reading of the individual leader and further to the individual reader of the texts. Not everyone will come to the same conclusion you just did. |
The thing is... I am not interpreting the Bible, I am parroting what it states in black and white. - To re-interpret the Bible would be to take an apologetic view and discard it's anti-divorce stance.
The original Bible (Which is based upon the Torah anyway) is what all denominations are derived from.
Matthew 5:31-32. "It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
...And we know what the 10 commandments are right?
Don't forget verses Luke 16:18, Corinthians 7:39, Hebrews 13:4, Romans 7:3 and probably a heap more.
| NightlyPoe said: You actually are imposing if you're using the power of government to establish your reading as the correct interpretation an nullifying the freedoms surrounding it because it's "hypocritical". |
Not really.
