Questions?

It's interesting you think sex and marriage are almost the same. I like the sound of that solid answer; no doubts or confusion. It would be easier for me to just agree but I don't know where in scripture it says you can only lay with one and then you are betrothed for life. Is that an opinion formed from a collection of numerous verses?

Second, I never said I could filter out the evil of Sin City. I made the argument that I am desensitized to the sex and violence in that movie and that I should probably be more sensitive and shocked by such a movie. I don't think either of us filter out what we see. It has an effect on us. I don't think you can deny that.

(Hey, I just cut and pasted this. Probably because I have no firewalls or something like that) "great example - preparing/editing a sermon. That kind of stuff scares the crap out of me because you're making a blatant statement about the Holy Spirit's place in your life. To come down on it would cost most people. And it would cost a lot."
What do you mean by come down on it? Do mean coming down on the person writing the sermon or me coming down on someone who is telling me to edit it? Are you saying it would cost me to say, "Screw off, this is what I think and I'm sticking to it"?

Okay, so you got my gist from a few sentences about the Bernardo case and Dave's quote. Goes to show that brevity can go a long way. I'm still not completely sure what the context is? I understand the insignificance of the crime. The pope's most sacrificial and virtuistic acts are still just dirty rags; we're all sinful beyond our understanding,I just don't get "sex party". I believe you once said that the girls were asking for it, something like, "what were they doing talking with Bernardo. They wanted to get laid." Tell me if my memory doesn't serve but that's the context I remember it in. Is this to say that because we're all sinful we deserve no less then a similar death.

That got me thinking here . . .

That fucking sucks. I feel like we're better than that and that we deserve better then that. I know we don't deserve anything but to be created to experience what those girls experienced, what countless sexaully abused children experience. Isn't it better to not be created at all. I have a personal revulsion toward rapists and torturers as I am sure many do. I wish God would would just drop them dead as he did with Ananias and Sapphira

I still think calling it a party is insensitive, disgusting and perverted. But if my understanding is still out in left field please enlighten me.

I'm glad I can talk openly with you. I don't feel comfortable sharing a tenth of what I really feel about people out here. Just a tenth of what I think shuts them down.
