    Wait, arranged marriages are wrong?

    Dharmashastras! We just had a thread involving these!

    Why must I use add hominid?

    I brought a chimpanzee. Your argument is irrelevant.

    Okay, you're slipping into attack territory again.

    I'll take this seriously when I see you explain to Chagen that calling someone immoral, depraved, and reprehensible is also an attack. Till then, let's learn to reap what we sow.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    I'm not that stupid.

    • Then why haven't they married yet?
    How about if they're gay? Are gay people not allowed have to ever ever have sex?

    They're gay. Gayness is wrong, the bible says so. Therefore, they're not even allowed to be gay. Why the hell are they even considering having sex?

    Then again, I'm a slut, so what do I know?

    That is a fair point. Chagen, in stating that, you have directly implied several people in this thread immoral, depraved and reprehensible.

    Stop it.

    Cygan: Exceptions can be granted in that case.

    But gay people should be allowed to marry in the first place anyway.

    I think it's fine if one of them is a member of the clergy; otherwise it's a great sin. God does not want you to lie with a man as you would with a woman.

    Um...ctrl+f is telling me that he didn't call anyone that. He called lust immoral and called both modern culture and prostitution depraved. I don't think he's used the word reprehensible in this thread, and he hasn't really made any personal attacks that I've seen.

    Fuck, you're right. The Bible does say that.

    No, the Bible is irrelevant here. We're talking about morals, not religion.

    .........You do realize I'm bisexual, right?

    I get my morals partly from the Bible, it's perfectly relevant to the situation.

    Do you have any idea how expensive weddings are?

    If it's a personal attack to say promiscuity is immoral merely because promiscuous people are present, is it also a personal attack to say Marxists committed mass murder merely because Marxists are present?

    You cannot grant exemptions when talking about morals. Morals are applied to everyone or not at all.

    I agree, by the way- they should. But that's irrelevant.

      No, in that this is a demonstratable fact, not an opinion. I think.

    Life isn't a very rigid place like that. Sounds too much like a False Dichotomy to me--life is very subtle and too detailed to apply blanket things like that.

      Because otherwise people are not being held to an equal standard; some are being held to higher standards than others.

    Only if they're also godless hippies who worship Charles Darwin.

    Being black is immoral. Black culture is horrible. I'm not personally insulting any black people in this thread, it's just their qualities that I find disgusting.

    I'm not sure why either is a personal attack. That would be kind of like saying "killing humans is immoral" is a personal attack against me.
