  1. Just thought I'd let you know that all the spoilers above Wyvern Rider w/ Axe 2 don't work in the first post.

    They work for me, maybe it's just your browser? :/

    Some of the links, specifically the ones of RapidShare and MediaFire, are broken now.

    That's up to the creators to fix.

  2. I've been told that I'm scary looking in a good way several times. I was waiting at lunch at school one time and these two girls behind me were talking about how nice my hair was and that they wanted to touch it(hell yea!), I've also been told that my eyes are "creepily beautiful" or something like that multiple times.(They're like blue-ish green)

  3. Are you actually a jew for jesus? Or is a judeo-christian something else? I've never heard it as a way of referring to an individual organized religion/church. It sounds really awesome.

    EDIT-I'm used to the term being used collectively for jews and christians.

    It can be used collectively but it's also a religion. It's not too well known about so it doesn't surprise me that you've never heard of it :p. We don't have a "church" though,

    `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places -- standing -- to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

    `But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

    This, and a few other things, are the reason.

  4. This.

    Also, out of curiosity, what are you, Dr. Sholes? Most of the ones I'm familiar with have similar views on their religious texts. Though your way makes hella lot more sense.

    Lemme just takea guess before he posts and say Episcopalian, or some other anglican denomination. But I am actually interested to find out, if you're willing to share Sholes.

    Nope, I'm Judeo-Christian. I'm a Jew for Jesus! It's pretty close to being episcopalian or protestant, though.

  5. I totally agree on that, but the problem with how Christianity, and I believe, Judaism and Islam, view the Bible, Torah, Qur'an, is that everything in it is divinely inspired. So no matter who said it, it's "the word of God."

    I dunno about that. I mean heck, everything we have that jesus said is written down by someone else. I think that the Christian religion puts some faith in those aside from the deities, especially Paul and the disciples. And in the old testament, the prophets have the word of god behind them. And within Judaism, the Talmud is, at least for more conservative Jews, considered a pretty important and authoritative source for understanding stuff despite having no direct divine approval or involvement.

    I certainly agree that direct statements from the divine hold more weight, but that doesn't mean that everything else "doesn't mean much."

    I'm not Roman Catholic so I don't believe that everything in the Bible is truth or even necessarily inspired by God. The way my religion does it is we take what God/Jesus supposedly said ad that's probably truth, if someone else said something it might be truth and how true it is depends on who the person is and the situation. A lot is left for the person to decide whether or not they believe it but I don't believe God/Jesus ever said gay people are bad.

  6. I don't really support what I'm posting next (mainly because I'm atheist), but there are actual verses in the bible that supposedly "bar" gay marriage (or call it a sin).

    "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." -Genesis 2:24

    "Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion." -Romans 1:26-27

    "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor theives, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.

    "Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband." -1 Corinthians 7:2-3

    Most religions throw out what is called "Levitical Code" mainly because it helps support their already-hypocritical organization (well, to an extent). Most barely even follow one of the Commandments - "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy".

    I only know this because a) I was a Christian at one point, and b) my religion did follow some, if not all, of the so-called "Levitical Code" (such as refrain of eating unclean meat). Even though fornicators and adultery is kind of the same thing...

    ...and most Christians nowadays barely even follow the "sex after marriage" concept.

    But who supposedly said this, if it was Jesus or God then it holds some credibility. But if it was just a random priest/rabbi then it really doesn't mean much. :/

    No particular reason that i remember him giving. He just finds it wrong to see a man kissing another man (he also mentioned women, but he said its a little bit more acceptable for them to do so), he also said that children should be protected from seeing that as well (in other words homosexuals should not have public displays of affection in public). The particular reason for this i'm not entirely sure however its possible that it stems from one of his thoughts that people become homosexuals not just born that way (that thought is just assumed from my part, since i remember watching a show that stated homosexuals are born homosexual and his reaction was one of surprise for lack of a better word).

    If he has a reason he can back up then even though I don't agree I can still respect his views, but if he doesn't then that's just being stupid. :/ If I was kissing a girl in public no one would care so why should it be any different when it's two men or women? Also, I don't think you can turn someone gay. Honestly when someone says to me that gay people choose to be gay all I can say is that I never chose to be straight, it just kinda happened, so I don;t think it's different. I do have a lot of gay/lesbian friends so I'm not prejudice, obviously, but when people are it doesn't really get to me, it's only when they start forcing their views on others that I start getting pissed about it.

    He might write it off as a strawmn but you could mention the amputee from Cbeebies and how what he's saying isn't that different from the parents that did write to complain.
