Okay, first of all: sorry for offending you, Venus. I vowed to never, ever get into a discussion about religion, specifically christianity, again. History shows that those discussions tend to turn painful and lengthy. And since I don't want to start a war here, I'll back down.
Second: There's already a bunch of threads discussing this subject. That's the reason I made my first reply. I'm just tired of the 'sin' question keeping to pop up. Like the answer to that will be found on an internet message board run by ticklers (and 'lees) for ticklers (and 'lees). Useless, useless, useless. As if debates about religion have ever reached a conclusion.
Third: It is, in fact, Dave's right to reply to the thread. Nope, he wasn't asked. But this is a free Forum, so we can all say our piece if we want, as long as it's playing along the few rules we have. I agree with him. This is not the thread to discuss religious issues. My fault, I shouldn't have started one. I take the blame and apologize.
