Homosexuals and the bible
David Queen
homosexuality is wrong. If homosexuality is a matter of
choice then we all were homosexual when we were young.

DOLF BOEK RESPONDS:
How so? The 'Yahad' Dead Sea Scroll appeared to believe that eunuchs as
idolatrous and cultic sacred temple harlots and abominations where
heterosexual. That means they cannot possibily be conveyed as a model of
gender and sexual identity behaviour which you seek to apply to homosexuals.
Furthermore the Dead Sea Scrolls convey that the symbolism of Sons of Belial
with their sexual proclavities, is applied to the false doctirnes of
Pharisees as religionists.
It appears that your prejudice against homosexuals is not supported by
Scripture.

Personally I could care less what that vile book says about
anything, though I very much care about what people think it
says and how they justify persecuting others because of those
ideas. What most people think it says, whether or not it does,
is that homosexuality is against Jehovah.

DOLF BOEK RESPONDS:
The book clearly demonstrates that modern interpretations placed upon
Scripture are inconsistent with historical perspectives held by most
Christians. Mind you amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls was also found the oldest
known copy of the book of Isaiah. Previous versions were something like
1,000 years later. The prophet Isaiah is referenced by New Testament
authors some 90 times.

Sadly, Bob, he posted to AUE a matter of English usage. It was that old
chestnut about how stupid Americans must be to say "I could care less"
when everyone knows it should be "couldn't." No doubt he expected a
chorus of disapproval from the prescriptivists that he imagines lurk
among us. If he gave even a tiny percentage of a rat's ass, he could
have gone to DejaNews and found the dozens of prior threads on the
subject instead of posting his little rant and making a fool of himself
for a half dozen newsgroups to see. (If they're going to drool all over
us, we can toss some usage bombs at them, no?)
Ferg, you jerg -- there's nothing wrong with "I could care less." It's
a standard American idiom in a sarcastic vein. Don't let the door hit
you in the ass as you leave.

really heavy thought on their parts ... by their standards anyway... it
will occur to them that this problem could be solved by either abandoning
the thread or fixing the the newgroup field. But then, that would require
*some* level of thought on the part of one of them.
It is apparent to me that none of them have any more concern for their
fellow humans (1) than a rabid dog or Rushton. However, I have observed
that even a dog can understand a tone of voice. Let's see if any of them
have the intelligence of a Pekingese.
(1) A dangerous assumption, since they hang out on newsgroups where

Welcome, learner! I'm sure you will enjoy our beautiful English
language, once you have begun to understand how we are using it!
I recommend that you find a native speaker to tutor you, so that
you may begin to find its idiomatic use less annoying! Good luck!

Richard Feynman (a physicist) someone far smarter then you will
ever be loved to make fun of those that were obsessed with
epaulets, the pope is a walking epaulet, he commented: he was
asked to join the American Physical Society, and briefly join,
but quit. Because they sat around voting on who was w o r t h y
to join the ranks of epaulets. So he quit, and went to a college
where if he did not want to teach he did not have to, the same
one Einstein was at.
In the Liberal Arts this could be a Masters thesis if the dialectic
were fleshed out with critique and dialog illuminating the
hermeneutics of discourse, possibly through a heuristic approach to
semiotic textual deconstruction taking note of ergodic exhaustion of
the multi-dimensional knowledge space and its significance vis a vis
the Second law of Thermodynamics and Claude Shannon's information
theory contrasted with an intensive Feminist approach to universal

Where did you learn that "america" starts with a lower-case letter?
Some place with lowered education standards?
AUE has a FAQ. Among the places where you can find it is:
http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/alt-usage-english-faq.html
Here's what it says about "could care less":
<quote>
The idiom "couldn't care less", meaning "doesn't care at all"
(the meaning in full is "cares so little that he couldn't possibly
care less"), originated in Britain around 1940. "Could care less",
which is used with the same meaning, developed in the U.S. around
1960. We get disputes about whether the latter was originally a
mis-hearing of the former; whether it was originally ironic; or
whether it arose from uses where the negative element was separated
from "could" ("None of these writers could care less..."). Henry
Churchyard believes that this sentence by Jane Austen may be
pertinent: "You know nothing and you care less, as people say."
(_Mansfield Park_ (1815), Chapter 29) Meaning-saving elaborations
have also been suggested: "As if I could care less!"; "I could care
less, but I'd have to try"; "If I cared even one iota -- which I
don't --, then I could care less."
Recently encountered has been "could give a damn", used in the
sense "couldn't give a damn".
An earlier transition in which "not" was dropped was the one that
gave us "but" in the sense of "only". "I will not say but one
word", where "but" meant "(anything) except", became "I will say but
one word."
Other idioms that say the opposite of what they mean include:
"head over heels" (which could mean turning cartwheels, i.e. "head
over heels over head over heels", but is also used to mean "upside-
down", i.e. "heels over head"); "Don't sneeze more than you can
help" (meaning "more than you cannot help"; "help" here means
"prevent"); "It's hard to open, much less acknowledge, the letters"
(where "less" means "harder", i.e. "more"); "I shouldn't wonder if
it didn't rain"; "I miss not seeing you"; and "I turned my life
around 360 degrees" -- not to mention undisputedly ironic phrases
such as "fat chance", "Thanks a *lot*", and "I should worry".
</quote>
FAQ aside, "could care less" is a standard phrase in America and means,
basically, "don't care at all." Those who use it know what they mean by
it, and those who hear it know what is meant. Aside from some snotty
Brits (no AUE-ers, of course) and the occasional visitor from outer
space or another newsgroup, no one has any problem with it.
If you'd like to discuss other matters of English usage, feel free to
join us in AUE (after reading the FAQ, of course) and snip all those
other groups. If we want to discuss anything covered by any of the
other groups to which you cross-post, we'll visit there, so please don't
bother including AUE.

Inded, you are quite correct. I quite innocently made a comment about a
turn of phrase used hereabouts, and was abused mightily by this Robert

That's "gays" or "homosexuals", not "queers". I will assume that - since

Whatever the reason, I hope it does not make you squirm to realize
that your grandchildren will be using that and most other American
locutions because of the pervasiveness and seductiveness of its
mass media, and there is nothing you can do about it.

HA HA! You must be new here!
No, it has never been that since I've been checking. It seems to be
for exchanging views about usage (also food and some specific animals).
I think you'd be better served by some sort of etiquette newsgroup.

You're now an honorary american, seeing as you speak the same gibberish they

Since you say you are a fagophobe, and since I have my Greek dictionary handy, I
see that you are afraid of eating. That is too bad for you, but I fail to see the
connection between your aversion for food and the subject of sexual orientation.

Is a "FAGOPHOBE" the same thing as a pathetic, small minded little
shit?? I am pretty sure it is!!

Erm, wouldn't that be phagophobe?? As far as I know the meaning of
"fagophobe" is "A small minded wanker or moron" an alternative meaning
is "a purile, rather smelly, pile of horse crap. Usually with an IQ so
low they would have to dig to find it"

This would indicate that you are =afraid= of gay homosexual faggot-queers.
A better word would be "misocarp", where "miso" implies hatred, and "carp"
means fruit.

should be forced to follow other books written 2000 years ago in other parts of
their lives.
1. In medicine, they should be forced to follow only ancient Greek medical
guides. If anesthesia was a blow to the head, so be it.
2. In home technology, they should follow any ancient guide to candle making to
light their homes. Also, they should learn to slaughter goats for food,
bypassing supermarkets entirely. No canned foods, or foods not grown nearby.
Again, like the Bible says.
3. All schooling and education must not exceed that of 1AD. Since certain
subjects were not invented then, no Bibliophiles may learn about electriciy, the
weather, machinery, genetics, psychology, computers, or enter any building not
made of wood and stone exclusively.
4. The bible is all, so any concept not foretold in it must be ignored.
Clearly no television, radio, internet.
Can one live 2000 years ago morally, but find it difficult to live 2000 years
ago with regard to creature comforts? Hypocrites!
Or maybe the Bible is a little behind the times, in more ways than one.
Every think about that possibility, homophobes?

You eat what you can, and what you can't can, you put up in jars.

Are people who fear and love God simultaneously deophobes and deophiles?

You're thinking of a phagophobe; he's thinking of a misocarp.
