<div class="quote_poster">Mamba Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">So, LOL, when girls start throwing themselves at you...are you going to resist them?</div> Yes, I will. I am not scared to say this, but yes. Now this is where you're throwing your self away from your religion. In even Christianity it says no sex before marriage. You can't pick things that you think are right. Sex before marriage is a sin. If you know its a sin, why do it?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> do agree with Umair's point from the root of this whole fiasco, if you're "religious" then follow the f*cking religion, if you don't follow the rules then don't claim it. Common sense or just the way we were raised tells us that killing a man is worse than cheating on your wife, getting a tattoo, or having pre-marital sex but theres no legal system in religion; if you broke these laws then its a sin, doesn't matter whether you killed someone or ****** someone you get the same punishment theoretically. </div> Agreed with you on that point. I don't think I ever disagreed with that. Who did? I just jumped in half-way on this whole discussion. Morality is completely subjective though. It's your upbringing that tells your murder is wrong, not "common sense." <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Yes, I will. I am not scared to say this, but yes.

<div class="quote_poster">Shard Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">That's easy to say when you haven't had sex. Once you get any action at all, it's your new goal in life.</div> Exactly. If you hold yourself off once, you'll hold yourself of again. The more you know it, the less you'll do it. Apparently, your first time got you addicted.

I'm sure we come off as hedonists, but Umair isn't in any circles where he's getting action or drugs, so he has no frame of reference. To denounce things that you don't know the first thing about just because of some strict code of "ethics" passed onto you by your parents is very unintelligent, sheep-like behavior. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Does anyone else find the genre "indie rock" to be pointless when it has its own aisle in HMV?</div> An indie rock aisle? What an oxymoron. I like a lot of indie for what it's worth though.

Umair, I know your not Christian, but since I don't know the specifics of your religion I will just use the Bible as the base of my reply. You should use the Bible as a tool to help you through life, and keep you on the right track, God is love, he is not some almighty force looking to spite you for mistakes you have made in life. Live your life to the fullest, but always maintain your morals. If you sin pray for forgiveness god will not exile you to hell. As a Baptist Christian I will just end this by saying it would also help to accept Jesus as your lord and savior.

You can't have the intention to do something and still repent.

Agree that morality is subjective though and that its determined by upbringing. However by accepting a given religion shouldn't you subscribe to its beliefs in morality? Religion is, at its root, a moral guide for people to live by. If you your own set of moral beliefs thats great (I know I do), but I think its nonsensical to give yourself a tag or a label of "X" religion while you don't even believe in many of its teachings.

Did anybody else know that Johnny Depp was in the first "Nightmare on Elm Street"? I had no idea.

It's basically like the polar opposite of pop in that it's just anything underground basically.

He will never get past the first round unlike his cousin. It's funny how Umair said he didn't want to start a "religion war" in his first post, but that's what happened.
