... don't we already have this thread? Something about nitpicks?

... do remember that this is not the "problems with organized religion" thread. If you want to have that particular discussion, go make a thread for it. Otherwise, maybe reign in the meta and wait for folks to actually share christian beliefs on whatever the subject is, instead of going on yet another irreligious rant.

Also, fear of TEH GAY is not that strongly supported by the bible: IIRC there's only a couple of bits about sodomy in the OT, and that's kinda non-binding for non-Jews.

And even to the extent it is condemned, it's not like most christians don't happily ignore similar strictures. Presence in the bible is of arguable importance a lot of the time, heh.

E: Though the OT being binding is something of an anomaly, so far as I'm aware. Most christian denominations I've encountered hold at least some variation of its laws and whatnot being inapplicable after Streaker J did his thing. New convent, etc., etc.

Eh, not like you can't talk about it some more. Just noting so if you want to search back and see what came up last time(s), you can.

Reincarnation's actually came up in the thread once or twice already

There are a few christian denominations out there that hold to various sorts of reincarnation beliefs, even discounting the buddhist or hindu fusion sects. The variant I remember the most regularly (though not exactly which denomination it was that believed it) held the belief that people reincarnate until the end of times, whenever that is -- a sort of limited reincarnation. I can't recall the reasoning behind the belief, but *shrugs*

It's arguable how in sync with the bible is, but it's also not like the text is terribly explicit regarding a lot involving the afterlife, so eh. If people want to roll with it, they can probably manage it, especially if they're one of the groups that cheerfully throw out revelations.

That's what the school admin and whatnot were telling people, anyway. It wouldn't exactly surprise me if that was the actual reason, though. Horny people get inventive, even when they're young.

oh no young people might do sexy things to each other what is the world coming to

It's more of a if-school-doesn't-do-something-despite-knowing-PTA-comes-down-like-hammer sort of thing, I think. Among other things. Folks in the states (well, most everywhere, honestly) aren't terribly comfortable with the whole sexuality-during-puberty thing.

Silly bands for sexual favors? Da hell?

Signaling system, not barter

Piko up a bit covered that, roughly.
