Best debate ever. No, really.

Jun 13, 2010 15:10

My friend posted a note on Facebook yesterday. Here's what it said:

The following statements represent actual people.

"I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday.
I am the girl who was kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I was a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because no ( Read more... )

Holy shit. That's some debate! I love you, just saying. Only you would debate about the morality of homosexuality on facebook. <3 I agree with pretty much every thing you said, despite the fact that I've hardly opened a copy of the Bible.
I was actually on Omegle the other day, and this guy and I talked for around an hour about homosexuality and debated about why it was wrong/right. Naturally, I was arguing that it was perfectly acceptable, and when he started pulling out all these scientific facts, I wished (not for the first time!) that you were there so you could pwn him. Just so you know. <3

Aww, thanks. :D I know, right? Best debate ever...my favorite part was the fact that there was legit respect. I love that. It was a REAL debate, not an, "ALL FAGS GO TO HELL-" "-YOU'RE WRONG!" debate. lol.

Haha, it was REALLY interesting to read. UPDATE WITH MORE, IF ANYONE ELSE COMMENTS. Well, important comments. Not ones like 'OMG U GAIZ R STOOPID.' or something. I don't know. I'm tired. It's like, 3 AM. I have to be up for school in 2.5 hours. Crapp.

Hmm. Your posts aren't showing on my f'list pages. Weird. I might un-friend and you re-friend you to see if that changes things. Anyway, I'm not ignoring your posts is what I'm saying, I just didn't know they were there!

I will also be coming back to read this in detail because it looks interesting.

That was DEFINITELY an awesome debate! My best part was it was structed and not ignorant in any argument! I mean, I don't agree with green, but I'm glad (s)he was constructive about it.

And ummm, the Torah definitely does NOT have vowels. I can attest that myself, seeing as I have read out of it! Actual versions of the Old Testament bible in book form have vowels in their Hebrew, I believe from what I've seen in temple, but the Torah was the ORIGINAL book-the book form is merely a copy, sort of speak. People had to essentially guess what vowels were put in the words in translating the Torah and making the Hebrew version with vowels, which is where the theory (that I heard while studying for my Bat Mitzvah) that if different vowels were placed under some of the homophobic (and other passages), it would mean something totally different. I think your friend doesn't realize that the old testament in book form is NOT the original bible; the Torah is and is what is considered holy.

But...yeah. Just my little Jewish girl rant there. :)
