It's not really monogamous, either, unless he's only looking at pornographic images of his wife. Self-gratification is also not monogamous, if he's married.

Atheism is particularly noxious with regard to morality, because their only bases for it are personal opinion and history, which is interpreted by their personal opinion. Even their primary creation myth describes their lawless morality: survival of the fittest. That's exactly why we need to...

My tactic was to compare the "inner moral compass" on slightly different subjects--like adultery and homosexuality. If it begins to fail in one area related to sex, why would we trust it in other areas related to sex. And when it begins to fail, it needs to be regrounded by comparison with a...

"Chaste" and "monogamous" are describing the same thing.

I much prefer sources to personally felt semantics. I'd appreciate a source for yours (like a dictionary citation, perhaps). A "married lech", since promiscuity is part of the definition, is also an adulterer, which Artie was ok with in some cases, as I pointed out. Lechery doesn't seem to...

As if helping you get your definitions correct is a lack of self control? I think you're thinking of "lewdness" with regard to the public beach, which is doing sexual things publicly. Lechery carries with it the connotation of promiscuity, which doesn't apply for old couples who still like to...

Lechery has no component of mutual consent in any definition I've found. Like this from dictionary.com: "unrestrained or excessive indulgence of sexual desire." "Within marriage" is a restraint, therefore you can't be monogamously lecherous. It's back to that oxymoron problem, again.

You make it sound like the conscience is trustworthy. But if Christians need to "walk in the spirit" to produce love joy peace patience kindness goodness gentleness and self-control, how are non-believers going to be able to do those things? Artie said adultery might be permissible in some...

Then it shouldn't be too hard for him. Why would you not encourage him to search the scriptures?

That could be, I suppose.

I guess "dingbat" = "insane"?

I didn't know that about Artie.

Asking him to use the Bible to justify his position ended up getting him banned? I doubt that. It was always his response that he was responsible for. I'm not opposed to being called a dingbat, and I don't think what he did deserves a ban (@JudgeRightly). But the discussion was about what the...

I hope you're joking.

Sounds like you are advocating calling me a dingbat. :)

I asked a question, and that equates to advocacy?

Can you show me where I've advocated rape anywhere?

You're actually afraid to read the Bible, aren't you?

Show me with scripture.

You didn't answer my question. If he's "resorting" to forced sex, then he must have tried other things already. Are you suggesting the wife should first cause her husband to "resort" to forced sex, then kill him so she can remarry? That's a weird take on that scripture.
