Tammy Thomas is a winning female cyclist. Too bad she’s been winning because of steroid use. Don’t believe it? Just ask the reporter who caught her shaving her face – better yet, just look at her before shaving!
What’s scary is that she is a biological woman, but her face shows signs of "severe virilization," as the doctor’s call it. I’ll say. What’s really funny is, this woman, who presumably has no gender issues, looks more masculine than the pregnant transgender woman being called a ‘pregnant man.’ Gender confusion and perversion are reaching new heights daily in our society, and it should alarm us. We need to pray harder, preach more, allow ourselves to be more transformed by Christ and His Word, and serve others more in order to help save our sick society.
Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
Prophets, those Kinks.
Mental illness is hard to preach out of society. We live in an extremely hedonistic culture. Instead of self control and morality being exercised, these have been replaced by the worshiping of ones sex organs and pornography to a large scale. Although it is alarming, along with about a hundred different issues, personal freedom, along with science, allow people to modify and/or mutilate their self.
A perfect example of natural selection, survival of the fittest. This surgical modification of their reproductive organs nearly guarantees the removal of their DNA from the gene pool, at least till gene splicing is perfected.
Along the vein of hedonism … just saw a preview for a movie titled "Baby Momma". Surrogate womb rental comedy. Isn't becoming pregnant via a man's sperm, who is not your mate, fornication? I always thought so.
Benjamin, I agree everything is out of control in today's world, hedonistic is a good way to describe our culture. And so is CONFUSED. But seriously, how could artificial insemination ever be considered fornication? I think "artificial" would be the clue there.

I understand your point about the artificial prefix. But my view, and I think it is still the classic cultural view, is that parents equal 2, not 3 or more. From a scriptural view, a woman pregnant from another mans sperm has … what? No matter the way the mans genetic material was introduced to the non-mates reproductive organs, it is still, in my opinion, fornication.
that is an interesting perspective, but I'm not sure if that really fits the biblical definition. It might.
I mean, if someone else uses your sperm to have children, that's still your biological offspring. Do you, therefore, have a moral responsibility for that child? Tough call, but I would say that it might be closer to giving the child up for adoption than not taking care of one of your own.
Why would it not fit the definition? The only difference I see is that you did not experience the sexual pleasure that intercourse would have given(and that to me is only "enticement" to procreate any way, an emotional bridge which if approached with love for your mate, helps build that deep personal relationship that only a man and woman can know).
I would think that, again risking the nazi pharisee moniker(LOL), I would say culturally, in a hedonistic society where God is replaced by science, no. Anything goes as long as it satifies our emotions and wants. Ends justifies the means.
But ….. my man inside(the spiritual man)says yup, that little one is mine. The genetic coding is mine. Like my fingerprint or my Iris. It can not be denied. Willfully giving my genetic material, which will create a human being, is different than having to give a life up for adoption because I or we can not give the care that a little human being deserves.
Sex has devolved into a selfish striving for ones own 15 second muscular contraction instead of striving for your mates. In the main stream portrayal of course.
You guys sound like a bunch of Islamists. Has the Taliban infiltrated this blog?

Sounds dead on to me.
Check out some of the Islamist critiques of western culture: same rhetoric:

louis,
You missed a big difference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3stW7N3pgc
Careful in comparing. Your head is still attached to your shoulders, right?
But, what exactly is not correct with those statements above? Especially under the topic of being responsible for what one does(creation of a human being)in a world where personal responsibility is down played to almost non existence?

This is a typical misunderstanding which I have explained previously.
While Christians and Muslims share a common moral code regarding sexuality (mostly because Mohammed copied much of his religion and text from the Bible), they share entirely DIFFERENT models of HOW you encourage such morality, and how you deal with those who break moral laws, and how you employ legislation.
Christians believe that you should primarily preach and live by example regarding morality, and that there must be a separation of state and ecclesiastic power. Legislation is only used to protect the public from the irresponsible. There is no *punishment* for immorality except possibly for ejection from fellowship for the unrepentant.
Muslims believe that there is NO separation of any kind between church and state, and all religious laws should also be civil laws. They also believe in very harsh punishments for disobedience.
So while both condemn immorality, Christians are to respond with love, service, and open rebuke, but not violence. Muslims, however, are trained to respond with physical punishment, threats, and murder.
The difference is in their proposed MEANS to common ends, and while Islam favors conversion by threat or destruction of infidels, Christianity favors the conversion of them, by their own free will.
So while the confusion is understandable, it is not accurate.

Indeed. Actually, I think the blog has devolved into a rhetoric based discussion area. Whatever.
It really is amazing what a long span of time spent outside of the country can do for a person. Since I have been back I have come with a fresh perspective of this country and those that live in it.
Frankly this topic is just silly and has devolved into a bunch of comments not related to this topic or for that matter "commentary on religion, politics, world views, books, church life, and culture"
While I have been reading the posts and commentary here since I got back, it took a topic like this and comments that have gone to the base of human nature for me to speak out.
This topic is just insanely funny…this material would be used by George Carlin in his stand-up comedy.
When Seeker and the other posters get back on topic I will be back. There are many other things we could and should be discussing.
