Hey John, as per me saying that you tried to deteriorate it into a religious thread, I will take that back. I read your explanation.John H. said:Hi Tony,
When I started this thread it WAS to ask a question simply and get and honest answer and really, nothing more - but you can see whenever Sex and Sexuality is talked about is almost always gets caught up with the discussion of religion (which IS at the heart of any "problems" there may be) and other bull that is "juvenile"...
I would like to be able to ask the question simply and straightforeword and get an honest answer.
As TO RELIGION, it IS the "author" of itself and what it does or does not. If I have cause to report a "negative" about any religion it is not because I am so "smart" and am the "only one" who sees the problem - I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination... But i do not just let important "things" just "slide by" either especially when a subject such as this is so very important to understand, know about, and helpful to everyone. I amnot trying to deteriorate this thread into a religious debate either. I was wanting honest accurate information and share that with others like-interested...
What people "believe in" really should have complete honesty, rock-solid foundation, total accuracy as is humanly possible - to just "believe" in something because others "are" is not helpful to anyone nor honest and sincere... In the end it is actually damning.
I REALLY APPRECIATE people such as yourself that are very straightforeword and tell it as they see it... AND (hopefully) open-minded and consider ALL INFORMATION FROM ALL SOURCES... ALL the time.
Any "indictment" of religion is caused by that "religion" itself. I am just commenting on what I HAVE SEEN for myself. If there is wrong it is incumbent upon "RELIGION" to straighten its "act" up ITSELF - IF it is at all truthful, etc.
When we are honest about all things and look at all things honestly and completely and accurately it helps all of us.
Take Care, John H.
I appreciate the fact that you are honest also and of course you can see that we can have a "cool" conversation and have no problems. Like I said yesterday, you drew me out and I like that. I, by the way, am very open minded and yes, I consider all information that I get to be important...
You take care buddy...
