Live to be 1000 Years Old?
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC has a long article by wonderfully be-whiskered Aubrey de Grey of SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) on how we may all live to be 1,000 years old... as this is the balanced BBC they are also running the
opposing view."
> That's right, and the conclusion certainly fits. None of that is going to mean much to unbelievers, of course.
Yes, because they tend to base arguments on facts.
Days after the fact, I know, but I'm just now reading this reply...
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 is quite explicit as to how homosexuality is to be treated by Christians.
First of all, you can't marry someone of the same sex. Marriage, by definition, is a joining of a man and a woman. If gays want some legal equivalent now, they need to invent a new word for it. Any sexual contact outside of marriage is, by the Bible's definition, "fornication". Strike one.
Second, no form of homosexuality is tolerated. "Men who lie with men" are dominant partners. "Men kept for unnatural purposes" are submissive partners. "Women who change the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature" covers not only lesbianism, but also anal and oral sex. None of these people are approved by God and his organization. Strike two.
And third, your "you don't show love if you hate gays" point is going out the window, because the 11th verse says "yet that is what some of you were." Not are. Were. Those people changed their ways and became true followers of Christ, and would indeed inherit God's kingdom and his blessings. Strike three.
You're out... of valid excuses. Thank you for playing.
