NOAH was viewed uncovered by his SON. He didn't have sex with his daughters. He had a son see him naked, and the son was cursed for it.
Ringing any bells, biblical scholar?
"And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he
was uncovered within his tent.
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness
of his father, and told his two brethren without.
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon
both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger
son had done unto him.
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shern; and Canaan
shall be his servant.
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."
Are you high? I was trying to avoid being dragged into a discussion of the bible. Talk to Shogun about derailing the thread. I've been trying to get out of it.

Actually, there is a statistically higher link between teachers and peds, so by your theory...By the way, did anyone ever stop to think that if there is a link between gays and pedophilia, that there is ALSO one between religious nutjobs and pedophilia?
Warren Jeffs, the cult in Austin, and now yet another one led by some dirtbag named Alamo.
So.....I guess if you believe in the Bible, you're gonna be a pedophile then too, right?
what can I say.. I enjoy thumping you nutters with your own holy book.
Actually, there is a statistically higher link between teachers and peds, so by your theory...
Really? Can you show me the link that teachers have more instances of pedophilia crimes than extreme religious nuts? I think when you count in the priests and such, it may not be true what you said after all, now will it?
US School Districts Cover Up Teacher Sex Abuse with Confidential Agreements and PayoutsIn 2004, a report from the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights revealed that teachers are more likely than priests to sexually abuse minors. The report said that previous studies from the early 1980's to 1991 showed that one in four girls and one in six boys is sexually abused by a teacher by age 18. Another revealed that 17.7 per cent of males who graduated from high school and 82.2 per cent of females reported sexual harassment by faculty or staff during their years in school.
http://www.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs/misconductreview/report.pdf3.2 Prevalence in the United States. As a group, these studies present a wide range of estimates of the percentage of U.S. students subject to sexual misconduct by school staff and vary from 3.7 to 50.3 percent (Table 5). Because of its carefully drawn sample and survey methodology, the AAUW report that nearly 9.6 percent of students are targets of educator sexual misconduct sometime during their school career presents the most accurate data available at this time.
Thank you glockmeister. Now, find some that's NOT from the Catholic League, since it was talking about priests and teachers, not all religious nuts that molest children.
Your other link was about sexual harrassment, not comparing it to religious nuts who molest children.
But thanks for the links anyway, it's interesting!
I guess you better keep your kids out of the Catholic Church and Schools then, the molesters are EVERYWHERE!
Wow, preschooler talk. Is that how you and biker converse during your trysts?![]()
Where God actually approves of certain human acts -it specifically says so. Otherwise, particularly in the Old Testament -it is the recounting of an historical event. The good, bad and ugly. The Old Testament is an historical recounting of the Jewish story, historical events, the personal stories of individual Jews as well as the relationship between God and Jews as a people. The Old Testament is part of the Bible because it is the root of Christianity -without which there is no Christianity. But because it recounts bad acts or irresponsible behavior by a particular individual doesn't mean God has put His stamp of approval on that act! Talk about trying to put your own personal spin on why such things are even mentioned!
The Bible also recounts the story of how Moses got drunk and was seen naked by his sons who were embarassed for him as a result and covered his nakedness. Even though Moses was God's chosen instrument for so much, the recounting of this part of his story -only proves he remained the same sinful human no less prone to error and poor personal judgment at times -no different from any other human. Not one person in the Old Testament was a perfect person who never sinned and only a single person in the New Testament was -no others. So the fact you can find Old Testament stories about how these men and women, even while devoted to God, made all sorts of human errors or engaged in bad acts -so what?
Nowhere in the Bible does it promise that if I just have faith and belief in Christ that I would become a perfect human being. In fact, it specifically says that I can never be perfect or someone who never sins.
You seem to think you are somehow "disproving" Christianity or showing it to be some of "bad" religion simply because the Bible shows what every Christian already knows -that faith is never accompanied by perfection and a sinless life. While totally ignoring the real message it carries. So constantly dragging out the very examples that proves the Bible is correct that a sinless life was never attained even for those most devoted to God - you prove nothing at all except something not so fine about yourself.
Interesting how vigorously atheists work to try and get people to abandon their own faith. The notion that the more people who hold your same opinion about Christianity and Christians somehow makes you more "correct" is your own self-delusion. There is no safety in numbers on this one.
Those Wacky Baptists!
Six pedophile preachers still listed on national Southern Baptist website
Convicted clergy were publicly exposed last week by ABC 20/20 program
Yet they remain on Southern Baptist Convention's list of 'serving' ministers
'Take them off & start separate list of credibly accused molesters,' victims urge
Predatory ministers are mostly from the South: AL, TN, TX, FL, MD, & VA
A support group for clergy molestation victims is urging officials of the nation's largest Protestant denomination to remove convicted child molesters from its registry of ministers.
Last Friday, ABCs 20/20 program spotlighted "preacher predators" and pointed out that the Southern Baptist Convention has at least six convicted child molesters on its website's list of ministers.
"This is a frightening example of institutional denial," said David Clohessy of St. Louis , national director for the Chicago-based support group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests and other Clergy (SNAPnetwork.org). "Rather than getting those names off the ministerial registry and their website, Southern Baptist officials are blaming the messenger and ignoring the risk and the callous signal their inaction sends."
"Most ordinary, decent people would expect that religious figures would immediately take action after learning that their ministerial registry includes convicted child molesters," said SNAP-Baptist coordinator, Christa Brown of Austin, Texas , who heads a website called StopBaptistPredators.org. "Decent people might also expect that religious officials would care enough to make a public apology to the families who long endured the salt in the wound of seeing men who molested their kids continue to be publicly held forth as Southern Baptist ministers. But contrary to the reasonable expectations of decent people, Southern Baptist officials apparently dont see the need."

You can spare me the lecture and your excuses for the OT. The fact remains that every OT occurance in the history of the jews is STILL supposedly validated by your same god. Yoo hooo.. did you forget that jebus was supposed to be the SON of that same god that allowed the tribes of israel to pillage canaan and send she bears after joke making kids? While you dogma junkies insist on raking everyone else accross your personal mores and values you'll have to forgive me for not giving a damn about your excuses for your own falling short of the glory of god. If you can't accept others then don't expect to be accepted. So what, indeed. You realize that you ARE posting in a thread demonizing the fuck out of gays fort the sake of posters who act like their christianity is some kind of national standard? Read the thread before you get your fucking martyr siut dirty on the end of my ass kicking foot. I, personally, don't care what you believe. If you want to believe in a dead jewish zombie in the sky then so be it. But, please, before you cry wolf about atheists at least have the goddamn capacity to realize the irony of your crocodile tears in a thread where dogma junkies are bashing gays.
