Aren't you acting like a teenager? Passing judgment before even watching the film? I'd validate your argument with a refutation, but I dislike when someone makes up their mind before giving the documentaries a chance. | ||

It seems you've already made up your mind, perhaps with ignorance or perhaps with stubbornness. Doesn't matter, making someone watch a documentary is futile and wasted. If you disagree, there's no reason to call it bullshit. Just state that your stance is skeptical about the views and perceptions of corporations. Good luck. | ||

The Bible teaches homosexuality is wrong and people who engage in those acts and don't repent will go to hell. End of story. Its not some literal vs allegory account it is WRONG. Just like its WRONG to have sex out of marriage. Its described as wrong in a few different places and I'm not gonna bother finding the verses atm. But if having sex out of marriage is wrong how can people think that gays can have sex and its ok? That makes no sense. Its taught in the New Testament that its wrong. Lets take a look. In the gospel Jesus says fornication is wrong. All homosexual sex is fornication and always will be (or possibly adultery) because that marriage isn't recognized as legitimate by God. Sure the State might one day say Homosexuality is ok and their marriage is real but thats man's arbitrary ever shifting opinion. Go ahead and lie to yourself or feel comfort in that fact that their are whole churches who will lie to you and say its ok with God. Its not. And anyone who approves of homosexuality is just as guilty as those who engage it it. This video is just liberal Chrisitianity (if you can even call it Christianity) doing their normal lying routine so they are PC. Look we have women as pastors and say gays are fine come to our church we are progressive multicultural blah blah... The whole God Hates Fags people are mislead though. God WILL put homosexuals who dont repent in hell but if they aren't in the church its not your job to tell them that. It is definitely appropriate for Christian to vote, lead, and get into politics to make homosexuality illegal (again) and stop homosexual wanna be marriage from existing (or adoption). Wow...either a Evangelical Christian or a literist atheist interpreting the Bible his own way to justify in own beliefs for why Christianity is the new Nazi Party. I am a gay atheist but the Bible by all means is not a Mein Kampf by any means. But I am not going to waste my breath since I probably am being trolled. Yes, I do believe that God is 10 times worse than Hitler in the Old Testament but the New Testament is definably recommend for studying. (Revelations is another story though) | ||

Also, no one mentioned "The Cove" yet. The guy who trained Flipper seeks redemption and tries to stop the (really rather pointless) slaughter of dolphins via taking pictures and movies of "the cove" and showing the world. He is strongly opposed by the cities inhabitants who always follow him around and try to stop him, which leads to some kind of real life spy movie. The Cove Trailer | ||

Probably the most moving/emotional documentary I have EVER watched (and I watch quite a bit of documentaries). I was told to not watch any trailers/read anything about it and just watch it. I did, and I am extremely glad I did, it was absolutely an emotional rollercoaster. If you MUST watch a trailer before you watch it, here it is (make sure not to read youtube comments, theres plenty of spoilers): | ||

You pick and choose which part(s) of the bible are valid, worth studying etc...how could that ever hold any significance then? (I'm atheist btw, not anti gay) Well this is not about pick and choose. It is about interpretation and we have to keep in mind that many of the rules in the Bible are written for people of their time. So when reading about Sodom and Gomorrah, we seem way too fast to assume that God destroyed that city due to homosexuality when it appears that the issue of more related to xenophobia, lack of hospitality towards foreigners (very old tradition in ancient culture) The Greeks had this practice because the stranger could be a divine figure and I could assume the people of Sodom had similar religious beliefs. And we have the abuse of power (soldiers gladly willing to rape Lot's daughter, people you are suppose to protect.) But as for the anal gang rape part, it is not a sign of perversity, but rather, an act of humiliation. Even today in many wars, most notably in the Middle East or in Afghanistan, Islamic soldiers have been known to humiliate their prisoners through anal rape but I cannot confirm if that is true or not since I heard these tales from a friend who is buddies with a Afghan veteran. But as for the homosexual activity in the Old Testament later on, especially in Leviticus, the people at the time knew that semen created babies, but they believed that by not ejaculating into the woman, you are wasting sperm as a result. In fact, Yahweh in his ever so wonderful wisdom smites a man for wasting the sperm. But as for morality, it is just against ceremonial traditions in Leviticus and seen as disgusting. In Romans, Paul condemns homosexuality not because God said so, but because the Greeks and with their many Gods, it was seen as a way of getting away from God. So it is not about picking and choosing, it is how those statements related to how people lived back in the ancient times. But as for a contribution for something to watch, I would heavily recommend this since I have not seen it yet. ![[image loading]](http://www.afficheprijs.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Beyond-the-Game-350x495.jpg) | ||

So it is not about picking and choosing, it is how those statements related to how people lived back in the ancient times. So how do you decide if it is still valid in modern times? How about the ten commandements? I mean they were given WAY back right? There are many...unsavory things written in the bible. And if you decide what was only valid back then, and what still is now...call it what you will, I call it picking and choosing, because it is exactly what you do. I'm sure there are quite some christians who would think that the anti-gay thing is still applicable, because it is written in the bible. If 10 people interpret the bible, you will probably get 10 different (and valid!) opinions. Now, as much as I'd like to discuss that here, this is a documentary thread, so here goes: Freakonomics | ||

It's quite interesting, the writers use methods of statistics and econometrics to get some useful info out of empirical data. They get to very interesting conclusions in various fields. (Like revealing cheating teachers, or the role of abortion in the reduce of crime.) It's called freakonomics, cause it applies ordinary data processing methods to examine and explore unconventional areas. | ||

I am referring to how you could have the feeling of extreme anger and extreme happiness at different parts in the documentary.. the "up and downs" of a rollercoaster so to speak, not that it was as "fun as riding a rollercoaster" like you seem to think. | ||
