I am so glad that I came across Remote Starters for Cars! It only took me about four working hours to install mine and I’m not even an auto mechanic!! The remote that I have with my model is pretty cool lookin too. Despite the fact that I’m thinking about bumping up to a security alarm here soon with the 2 way remote, whatcha think?

Elyna (November 15), are you serious?.. That honestly has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

It’s not like the Bible is God’s word or anything. It’s not like the words in that book were told directly to Jesus and then written down or anything like that. Dispite all the films Ian is in that I enjoy, I have absolutly and completely lost respect for him if all this is true. So yeah, keep on doing what you’re doing, see where it takes you.

“If we have free will, then it must be respected”
is the lesson.

I couldnt possibly be playing victim to avoid an argument. I stated my position, and that is that.
I asked a question, and thats when everything went downhill.

This has just been a fruitless and unwise attempt on my part, to state that I feel opinions can and should be stated, without drawing conclusions about the stater-
whether those conclusions about the other are thinly masked suggestions or outright labels.

I think this case goes a long way in proving my position, and has reinforced me in this belief.

Yes I am a rare ‘animal’; but I’m not ‘crying’ because I can’t reason, prove my points, or because I am spineless etc;
I just got sidetracked by the matter of what I consider to be the best debating behavior.

It is my fault for expect another to uphold ideals that I myself believe in.

And that is the subject of this post, so freakin, freakin ironic: to each his own, like it or not.

Ah life! Ah universe!! LOL How you give me what I want each and every time! Thanks for the lesson. And I’ll be back for more of these.

This thread has unnecessary drama of biblical porportions all over it. Do any of you REALLY think Sir Ian gives a damn if you’re for or against him? He’s embracing his elitism now that his years of service has gained said status.
Unlike most of us, who have to answer to silly things like laws and codes of conduct, he can do whatever he wants. He’s not peon enough to even debate his action…he allows his salivating followers to do it for him. /facepalm

Wow interesting thread. Quite a lot of insightful points were made but others, sadly, while they initially had something of merit to say, devolved into passive-aggressive “well I’m right and you’re wrong rhetoric.”

I agree with Bek wholeheartedly and while I am not above being petty or judgmental, I hope someday to fully embrace this simple and beautiful philosophy, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!”

Good for him, he is standing up for what he believes in despite public persecution and modern religious values and giving a face to the struggles of a long-tortured community of fellow human beings who aren’t treated as such. Gee you know what this is starting to sound familiar… Jesus anyone? Christians are so easy to forget that Jesus was not at all accepted in his time, that his ideas and methods were very controversial, and that people did not really get what he was trying to say until long after he was gone. Jesus would be right along side Ian, and he would never agree with people looking down on homosexuality. This is the guy who made an effort to be amongst the least liked and most marginalized members of his society at the time i.e., prostitutes, lepers. Do some historical research for crying out loud.

WOW. What a debate. I am a Christian and love the Bible the more and more I read it,however everyone sins whether it’s one thing or another. A sin is a sin. If one is truely a Christian one knows that what was written in the OT a lot is overwritten by the NT. I also don’t understand why comndeming homosexuality are the Christian’s fault when Jews and Muslims belive the same thing.As an individual I was taught to hate the sin and love the sinner. Also if you believe that Jesus died to forgive all sins, doesn’t that include homosexuality amongst other things. It is not our place to tell them they are going to hell. That is ridiculous.Christians who are overbearing need to pray in their closet as Jesus said and mind your own business. I’m done….happy debating
