Lunar Threads

Oh boy, only on LunarNet could a discussion about fanatics using a Mickey Mouse lookalike to brainwash children go off on a tangent about the Dark Scimitar :P I don't know why some folks are still so worked out about that; it was practically ages ago, and it was always a silly, inconsequential matte...

...I have objections to this on so many levels. Not the least of which is that it's glorifying depravity. In the realm of fiction and video games, fine; when you try to make it real, then I have problems with it. Absolutely. Consider the horror if someone actually acted out one of Quentin Tarantino...

That's impossible; everybody knows that fire can't melt steel, especially not fire from a little bit of gasoline. Physics professor Rosie O'Donnell said so. The bridge must have been blown up with bombs in some kind of evil, Hitleresque plot, planned by some dastardly villain complete with a Snidely...

I don't think Benevolent_Ghaleon detected my sarcasm. Oh, well. also, stop being so ridiculous with the second half. i hold christian beliefs on sex but i can also have a mind broad enough to realize that sex isn't special to everyone. Some people just have fun with it. grow up and let people do wha...

What fun! I think I'll throw in my two silver just for the heck of it: -If a woman wants to wear makeup, that's her business. If I wear nice clothes and comb my hair, that's my business. We would do well not to try to read too much into someone just trying to make themselves look as good as possible...

Right, but it could have been repurposed and renamed, I think he means, much as Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's Birthday were combined into Presidents' Day. Right, something like that. Earth Day was put so close to Arbor Day; why didn't they just have it on Arbor Day? Arbor Day was already an e...

A US Senator first proposed Earth Day in 1970. The point of the day was to increase awareness about pollution, which was rampant in the 1960s. Personally I don't know why they didn't just have it on the same day as Arbor Day, which as far as I know was the original environmental day. Arbor Day start...

It seems to be pretty clear that this man had something physically wrong with his brain, but I would also say that he had something wrong with his soul. I don't think it's possible for human beings to commit such horrendous acts on their own and apparently have absolutely no remorse. If you ask me, ...

It is anti-woman to force her to birth against her will, I don't know exactly what angle you're coming from there, but I wonder if it is then anti-woman to "force" a woman to take care of her children. as I respect the wishes and mind of a woman, and not simply her body. (I'm not automati...

I don't think that the concern they have is a bigoted one. For one, not everyone lives in a city, or close to one large enough to have a drug store on every corner. The problem with that is that I disagree with the basic premise that the medical profession should even be involved in dispensing medi...

The disagreement in this thread can be summed up by the term "culture clash". In America, the two main cultures are the Judeo-Christian traditional culture and the secularist permissive culture. Seeing as how these two cultures can never come to terms with each other, it is extremely unlik...

Watched Ten Commandments last night. That movie rocks. Old school style. That is one of the greatest films of all time. I watch it every year. It is by far the best film version of the story of Moses which exists, or will ever exist. That is one of the highlights of my Easter season, along with att...

Adultery effects other people. Most of the time our actions affect other people in one way or another, even if we pretend that they don't. Euthanasia is one person hurting another person, and suicide and self-mutilation are blatant cases of a person hurting one's self. Actually, no, they are exampl...

9AM - Attended the Easter Sunday mass and celebrated the Resurrection of my Lord, Jesus Christ.

12 noon - Went to Easter lunch at Aunt's house, along with about 20 relatives.

5PM - Went to Easter dinner at other Aunt's house, along with 10 other relatives.

I'm somewhat tired now.

Now, I don't want to belittle anyone's beliefs or anything, but I have a real problem with being told that something that two consenting adults choose to do, something which in no way effects anyone else, is wrong. By that measure, taken to its logical conclusion, adultery is not wrong. Suicide and...

Yes. When people react so negatively to your opinion, perhaps it is because there are certain small groups that would deny access to birth control and important parts of sex education, and the smaller becomes an (incorrect) representation for the larger. I am sorry for that. And even those folks ar...

I don't think JWL was insinuating anyone here believes that, but was just pointing out what Christians believe on the matter. I was thinking of posting something similiar. And I think it's relevant, since I know it's how I view the topic. That is correct. I just wanted to put that out there, since ...

To me, I don't think sex should be viewed as a BAD thing, but I feel people should be much more responsible at a younger age. It's ridiculous how care-free they are about it. And this is a good opportunity for me to point out Christian theology on sexuality. Ask most folks the question, "Do Ch...

What do you expect? The new rule is that everything good is bad and everything bad is good. In modern society, purity is a sin and promiscuousness is a virtue. Heaven forbid we continue to teach kids that they should wait for marriage. No; that's violating their rights somehow and making them feel b...

.... Duuude. I hope nobody in Boston called the police.
