If there were laws ...

So, all laws are correct and immutable?

People here prefer being single and having fun... And as you have said, they pay the price... ;)

I already addressed your second part.
As for the first part, you think all single people are happy and enjoying it?!?

How do you mean?

That part....

I don't mind being single at this point, but I would be happy to find the right person. :-)

But what I am saying is Jeffrey spoke as if all people that are single are single for the same reasons, seeming to say that we are all acting as if the sexual revolution of the '60s-'70s is common practice today. I think that is a huge leap/over-generalization.

Plus, let's not forget to consider the many people who are technically single but in long-term relationships simply because they do not know how to be alone rather than because the relationships are healthy.

I knew what ya meant. I guess I am just used to Jeff speaking in sweeping generalizations.

I'm sure we've all been guilty of it at one time or another, lol.

Pretty much. Some just make more of a habit of it than others...lol

Here's a little trick you may not know of.

Thanks for the tip...

God, after reading through all the insults that were directed towards me, which I shall not repost, I did stumble across this little gem:

Jeffrey has evolved into a nihilistic troll...He can't get people to agree with his way of thinking...So he wants to destroy the forums that rejected him...In the end...He was not very Christlike at all...Just another religious crusader who tries to destroy what he can't change.

Talk about irony... Along with a really bad case of dyslexia...

I shall now go cry over the never changing ignorance of the wicked people... ;)

Sorry, cannot track down that post either, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, I asked you some reasonable questions and I would appreciate answers.

Darn it, I'd better go citing some Scripture, then!

I've already said it many time before... While we claim to be a 'christian nation' the reality is that we are not... We are a nation of 'religious freedom', meaning that there shall be no laws made respecting any religion, as stated in the constitution... Even God Himself granted us freewill, and that should never be taken away by anybody... Not to mention, we put ourselves in this situation by our own written contradiction of ethical standards in the first place... Don't get me wrong, I'm all for spreading the word of God, but I'm also against forcing religious laws upon people who aren't religious...

Islamic societies are a whole different story... Islam itself means 'submission to the will of God' and Muslim means 'one who submits to the will of God'... That being said, they are a nation of people who enjoy following religious laws established by God and do not find them burdensome or unjust... They are exercising their freewill as well... If one decides not to follow Gods laws they are welcome to move to a country more suitable to their new found belief system, such as one in the western world...

I've always thought that America could have saved themselves billions of dollars by 'rescuing' those in the Islamic societies who have decided to oppose Gods laws with a plane ticket to America and welfare support for the rest of their lives... If that sounds expensive to you, consider the overall cost of our current strategy to 'help' those people... ;)

Some Islamic countries / societies are showing us where a theocracy-like government can lead to, when religious leaders are not as true to the Scriptures as they should be.
For me there is no "THE" Muslims, "THE" Islamic societies, "THE" believers of whichever religion. You just can't generalize any group of people nor any nation by looking at only some single examples. When you know a Mormon you can't know ALL Mormons and speak about "the" Mormons. When you know a Muslim you just can't know ALL Muslims to be able to speak about "the Muslims".

There is a saying here in Germany, "Jede Verallgemeinerung ist falsch. Auch diese." which is translated to: "Each generalization is wrong. This one too."

When you know a Mormon you can't know ALL Mormons and speak about "the" Mormons. When you know a Muslim you just can't know ALL Muslims to be able to speak about "the Muslims".

ALL Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the word of God and follow it...

Mormons believe that you can worship God in whatever way you choose:

'We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.'


Comparing Muslims to Mormons is completely inappropriate... ;)
