I don't think that any of them have ever tried to have intercourse though. We really can't know what animals are thinking, they might b playing or something. (note: I am in no way an expert)

... what? No, homosexual sex (male and female, for what it's worth) is observed in animals, with all the particulars involved, to avoid being explicit about it. They ain't playin', they're screwin'. Or both, in some cases, but generally it's the latter. Unless you've got a really odd definition of intercourse, it's definitely something animals have gotten up to with same sex members of their species (and sometimes other species, too, for what that's worth).

It's fairly irrelevant, as animals naturally do a lot of things that are considered to be sin (and is ethically abhorrent besides, not that I class homosexual relations in that category) when done by humans, but it's certainly a thing that happens.

As to IF... keep it up, younglin'. You're going to be mangling the religion you're trying to live with, to get it to work for you on the subject in question, but I've said before and I'll say again, there ain't nothin' wrong with that. If God is, in fact, good, you'll be alright. If God ain't good, it ain't worth worship anyway, save for brute survival in the face of a threat, and that's not exactly the best of reasons to ruin your life over.

Th'bombing quote definitely came up fairly recently, at least.

E: In other news, Graham apparently just tore into Trump with a bit of a vengeance. I have to admit, calling him "ISIL man of the year" is a pretty good one.

Yeah, presumably speculating such just because it's something of a common line of rhetoric amongst conservatives (in particular, anyway). Many of the republican et al politicians are on record saying something along such lines. Presumably cruz has said it fairly explicitly, I'unno. Haven't paid much attention to the guy.

And hey, carpet bombing is still a perfectly viable strategy if you're trying to kill civilians and destroy infrastructure, and you better believe there's support for that in the US if the target's the middle east. Thankfully not a majority, but still.

One would hope it was so benign, but I guess you take what you can get out of it. Fun one I heard during the family thanksgiving gathering: American Muslims don't celebrate the 4th of July and, because of this, aren't real americans! Folks weren't even talking about muslims or anything, it just got kinda' shoved in there.

Still not sure where the hell that little bit of blatant lie came from, honestly. Not that I looked very hard, heh. Googling suggested it may have came from massively misunderstanding an embassy rescheduling of the local celebration.

I assumed that it was because the father will not be around sin, and we are sinners, so the holy spirit acts as a middleman. I don't know why it is groaning, maybe because of all the sin?

Surrounding bits of verse seem to suggest it's just because of suffering, maybe or maybe not due to sin, near as I could parse. Bit of a headache, and at least the NIV translation of romans 8 is a goddamn misery to read.

Definitely doesn't seem to be suggesting the spirit as a middlecreature, exactly, though -- later bits of roman 8, at the least, seemed to be fairly explicit about the father-bits being happy to get involved. Pretty sure there's plenty of that aspect getting involved to various degrees of directness with sinners throughout the rest of canon, anyway.

As for politicians with names starting with H, theres Huckabee, but he isn't the one proposing a 'fuckhuge' wall.

Nah, huckabee has apparently supported building a wall, too. Giant fence, whatever. Looks like he actually thinks it can be done in under a year, even.

... it, uh. To. To bits. Not for. "Blow them for bits" sounds like performing a sexual act for pay >_>

In any case, good luck, have fun, etc., etc.
