OT Babe Thread

[Ben Kenobi]

to worship their beauty.

So idolatry would be okay, but not arousal?

[Nubclear]

Perhaps the correct word would be "reverance", not quite "worship".

But I do not consider idolatry to be a sin.

[Ben Kenobi]

So then, I could make a shrine to Mariah Carey, worship it every morning, and I would be a religious person in your book?

[Nubclear]

No. Where did you get that?
Your religious because you've proven it in almost every thread I read.

However, a shrine to Mariah Carey would be for the wrong reasons and therefore sinful.

[Ben Kenobi]

I see no difference between idolatry and the shrine of Mariah Carey. The two are the same. That's why I'm concerned that you consider me to be a religious person, yet you don't think idolatry to be a sin. After all, the second commandment says,

"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worshp them."

Deut 5:8-9

Also, I do think you can show pictures of beautiful women, yet not for the purposes of arousal. Ever hear of art?

[Nubclear]

That's why I'm concerned that you consider me to be a religious person, yet you don't think idolatry to be a sin.

Those two are completly different topics. I can consider a Wiccan to be a religious person and still not think idolarty is a sin.

Some quote from some book

Irrelevant, as the Bible is no longer a viable source for unadulterated religious information.

The "Babe Thread" is hardly art.

Tell me then why I should care about what you find sinful?

You don't need to.
I was voicing my opinion to Markos.

Well, you'd better hope he finds your arguments more compelling than I do.

I don't particularly want a Babe Thread, but at the moment I'm very keen on seeing a religious ethics thread.

Tass is just believing in his own divinity.

/me whispers

He's got some powers in the ACDG, We refer to him and Googlie as Gods. I think that's got to him.

[Adagio]

Count my vote in as for having a babe thread

[MarkG]

post pictures of famous, and beautiful women

this phrase brought an image of beavis and buthead in my mind....

there's something wrong about this, i'm sure

[Theben]

There is, but it's something wrong with you.

Offtopic it isn't hard.

Ontopic is another matter.
