If he thought, that letting you believe in a god, that could possibly be, a lie, may hurt you/others. And he made it his business to stop you from believing ? he would have all the right motives, yet, I am pretty convinced, you would have none of it, reflecting it onto him, convincing him that he is wrong.. correct me if I'm wrong, but your theory only works in special circumstances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982921142337564023.post-83374115536537211882010-03-20T04:37:41.560-04:002010-03-20T04:37:41.560-04:00Whoa! That is a very thought provoking post. It is...Whoa! That is a very thought provoking post. It is hard nowadays to really say how you feel without being labeled a racist, hypocrite or whatever else is the insult du jour. With regard to holding fast to your beliefs despite what society does, that is the most difficult thing to do! Even when evidence shows us that certain activities are harmful to society, people still hold onto these activities and even politisize them!<br /><br />An example is that homosexuals males are not allowed to donate blood to the Red Cross. Many people have been up in arms about this, but what they fail to see is that the male homosexual lifestyle exposes its practitioners to parasites which cannot be filtered out from the blood but that are highly contagious via fluid transfer. These parasites present a major public health hazard. About a quarter of humans around the world are infected by parasites due to poor sewage etc. <a href="http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexuality_and_Parasites" rel="nofollow">However, when studies have been done on homosexual males, estimates go from as high as eighty percent infected with parasites due to their sexual practices.</a><br /><br />This is why the book of Leviticus contains so many restrictions on sexual conduct; public health concerns was just one level!Mahndisa Rigmaidenhttp://mrigmaiden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982921142337564023.post-53953487997878081852009-03-28T09:28:00.000-04:002009-03-28T09:28:00.000-04:00Asa, this is a great post. I think part of today ...Asa, this is a great post. I think part of today problem is that most people don't take control of what they believe in and have allowed others to usurp their minds so that most people don't really know why they believe what they believe. <BR/><BR/>"Is that your thought you're thinking...?"-Rachelle Farell, Individuality<BR/><BR/>EnsaynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
