So, If You're A Christian, You're Then Unfit To Become A Professional Counselor?

So how would you vote on a proposal to ban gay marriage?

 

Well, it appears as if it's one of the tenants Ms. Keeton is being challenged on.

 

Gee, let me get back to you on that one.

 

No, she's simply stating her beliefs.

That said, I think she'll end up leaving the school and pursuing her educational career elsewhere.

 

Yep, I wouldn't want to answer that here if I were you either.

 

Meh.

She looks like she'd be similar to fuckin a bucket of sand.

 

No, she's in school whereas she's been given questions that she is graded on. Whatever she said outside of school is a bit nebulous to me. Is she passing judgement there, or simply telling others what she's been asked in school. Big difference, IMO.

 

Absolutely, among many other things she is intolerant of.

People don't seek counseling because everything's fine and they fit right in with everyone else.

From the other case linked to this one:

In his 48-page opinion, Judge Steeh said the university had a rational basis for adopting the ACA Code of Ethics.

“Furthermore, the university had a rational basis for requiring students to counsel clients without imposing their personal values,” he wrote in a portion of his ruling posted by The Detroit News. “In the case of Ms. Ward, the university determined that she would never change her behavior and would consistently refuse to counsel clients on matters with which she was personally opposed due to her religious beliefs – including homosexual relationships.”

 

I guess I will then.

All evidence indicates priests can only have sex with underage boys.

 

Somewhere where they'll "teach" her what she already knows, rather than actually educating her. It's clear she's not interested in expanding her knowledge, and in fact seems to fear it.

 

You're confusing how Keeton used "choice" and how, say, Julius is.

Julius (and others) are saying that homosexuals can procreate if they choose to simply because it is within the physical realm of possibility. By the same token, you could choose to have sex with a man. It's physically possible.

That is different from sexual preference being a choice. You don't choose to have sex with a man because your sexual preference is heterosexuality (and, presumably, you never chose to be heterosexual, you are innately so). Similarly, homosexuals don't choose to have sex with the opposite sex (and thus procreate) because their unchosen sexuality is for the same sex. They innately have a sexual preference for the same sex, so they don't choose to copulate (that word is not used enough) with the opposite sex.

We make many choices based on the traits we are born with. Sexuality (both heterosexuality and homosexuality) is one of those in-born traits, based on studies of other species of animals and twins studies among humans.

 

I had already addressed this in post #37. It's how I personally believe...and am sticking with that.

 

I was simply attempting to answer the questions that were directed towards me. In no way was I standing up on some type of bully-pulpit attempting to push my views. Again, simply answering the questions in effort to explain how I think and believe.

That said, in no way do I consider my self as being superior to anyone. It boils down to what I believe the Bible to say. On this particular subject, it's rather clear.

Here's a link to a website I had shared in an earlier post which pretty much captures where I'm at with the homosexuality issue as a whole:

All but one of those quotes is from the book of Leviticus which is only in the Hebrew bible.

Are you Jewish? Do you follow all the many other ridiculous "laws" enumerated in that book? Do you eat pork? Do you drink alcohol? Do you sacrifice animals on the altar?

Or do you just get queasy thinking about gays?

This supports the post claiming you are a "buffet bible quoter". Not that there is any other kind.

The bible(s) is a book of convenience. It can be used to support any arguement and it can be used to defeat any arguement.

The only certainty about it is that it was written entirely by mortal men and reflects their flaws, shortcomings, and prejudices.

 

Took six pages, but there are finally some comparisons that I think are similiar. I will add another.

What if someone is a faith healer and wants to graduate medical school?

I know when seeing a degree in my doctor's office or accredation from the AMA that they adhere to the beliefs of that school/association.

My advice would be for her to enroll in a program that matchs her beliefs.
