It will also give you a clear indication that slavery is acceptable.

"Citation please" Leviticus 25 is probably the best reference here. Other passages, in Exodus for example, are about indentured servitude (6 years) of fellow Hebrews, and from these you won't see clearly that having foreign slaves was acceptable.

That is seriously lacking in these parts!

It takes two to tango. I have tried a couple of times to engage in straight (ka-ching!) debate. You clearly do not want it.

If you think balanced debate = any opinion and blind assertion is treated with the same respect as rational arugments and evidence, you don't know the meaning of the words.

Yep - debate only happens when both sides have something to bring to the table.

Yes,' John Boswell was gay. He fucking says so in the piece. That does not mean Kenny-boy gets to make libellous statements about the quality of the man's scholarship once he is dead and unable to defend himself.

So he cannot help but be biased then.

Sooooo I guess that means since you're (ostensibly) heterosexual, you cannot help but be biased against homosexuals, so nothing you say on this topic is worth anything. Thanks for once again shitting all over your own arguments.

The Christian church in general.

There is no 'christian church in general'. There are around 38,000 varieties of christianity, many incompatible with all the others to the point of murder. Do you, for instance, include the LDS(mormons) in the church in general? They do.

Like all so called xtians he has not got a clue about his own belief system.
They all call themselves xtians just for the numbers game.

We have in this country of what is left of the prodestant xtian belief system still a few hundred different systems of which some only have a handful of followers. There are still to this day schisms happenening. Arguements break out and people walk off to start another church. They have the strangest of names. Pure madness

I wonder which flavour Ken belongs to.

So Ken's position basically boils down to this:

" I want rational debate." " I want rational debate." " I want rational debate."


"All you guys are poopy-heads."


" I want rational debate."

...or even "all you guys are poopy-heads."

Adios Kenneth, a.k.a - Kenny boy!

Psalm 14.1-3 - The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one.

Well it was swell, but the swelling's gone down. Come on back when you've developed some sort of argument that isn't based on the most banal and obvious fallacies, there's a good chap!

Meh. For now.

I'm sure he would do if he existed. Personally, I wouldn't reciprocate. But it's OK, it's the 21st century and it's accepted and tolerated.

Adios Kenneth, a.k.a - Kenny boy!

Best of luck with the ladies!

You do realise virtually every religion has statements like these, that only a fool would not believe in their particular religious views?
This has got to be one of the most overrated bible verses.

Aside from the fact that the heart is a pump for moving blood around the body, you missed the second part of that quote out...

"The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God”, but the wise man shouts it from the rooftops."

You're welcome; don't mention it.

Anyone else wondering what topichead will be used next to address SSM?

Euthanasia is my bet. Might need a bit of work to get there, but if somebody can do it, Kenneth can.
