I thought it was funny. lain:Well was it?
what thread did that come from?
Sorry, I know that since I'm on TOL so much it may seem like I don't have a job or a life outside of TOL, but I assure you I have both. :chuckle: I'll get to this as soon as I can.kmoney....
Congrats on the new baby! :baby:No rush.
I may disappear for a few days here and there. We have a baby due to be born any day, and at some point soon I need to move this desk to install flooring underneath it.
If you feel mislead then I apologize. I said no to that original question because I don't consider myself an evolutionist. Neither do I consider myself a Creationist. The most accurate answer I can give is "I don't know", however, if I had to choose a way to which I'm leaning I'd say some form of theistic evolution. Sorry for the confusion.Then why did you unequivocally answer "No," when I asked if you were an Evolutionist? :doh: Don't you think that answer was, to say the least, misleading?
Public or private. If there is a respected private school that we could afford I would maybe lean towards that, but I wouldn't be against homeschooling.kmoney, if you have kids someday, do you think you will most likely home-school them, send them to private school, or send them to public school?
I have news for you. TOL is not like the other 99.99+% of the world....And the other part I'm not sure what to call. I think the best way is to give an example. Public schooling is railed against all the time on TOL and homeschooling is praised. So I decided to post a thread mocking a homeschooler. I guess it's some form of devil's advocate or defending the side that is getting ridiculed the most. Do I actually find homeschooling objectionable? Absolutely not, but when I see homeschoolers criticizing public schooling in a way that I feel is excessive and/or unwarranted I want to stick up for them and "turn the tables" or whatever you want to call it. I think that's the best answer I can give.
A few thoughts....
First off....they would not say we should hate them so much that we don't witness to them. In fact, they would say not witnessing to them would be hate. See Lev...Lev 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
Secondly, they would only say God wants them dead if they have committed sodomy. If there was a virgin homosexual they would not call for their death.
Thirdly, while they probably do say homosexuality is worse than some sins, I don't think they'd say it's the worst. I'm guessing the ranking has to do with what punishments each offense warranted under Mosaic Law, at least in part.
Fourthly, as far as the part about can they say God hates them and loves them at the same time.....they would of course answer yes. If you believe love and hate aren't mutually exclusive, which they don't, then this isn't a problem.

Kmoney is, in my humble opinion, the most intelligent and reasonable Christian with whom I have conversed during my time on these forums. He may accept that as either a profound compliment or a heinous insult, as he prefers.
