So God forbade polygamy and homosexuality to avoid STD's.

To punish sodomy and adultery.

>>2369169
When did god forbid polygamy?

>>2369173
Why?

Satan "created" STDs, presumably out of benign microbes, since Satan can't actually create ex nihilist, but only corrupt God's creation. God didn't intervene because he respects Satan's free will.

>>2369183
Because sodomy and adultery destroys society from within, by destroying families.

>>2369169

Result of sin entering into and ruining creation.

>>2369169
God forbade homosexuality because homosex doesn't produce children and producing children is kind of imporrant for survival if you're a bunch of bronze age desert wandering pastoral nomads. Nothing to do with STDs.

If anything today homosexuality should be actually encouraged especially in Africa and in India, those fuckers are breeding like rabbits.

>>2369184
>>2369189

Sin is never creative and evil never creates anything. Because evil is a state of enthropy. Sin is passive, and all that follows is simply an effect of God's will not being present. Like darkness is not a substance on its own, it's nothing more than lack of light.

>>2369212
No. He wouldn't label them an "abomination" if it were for something economic like that. It'd have to be the result of something repulsive like AIDS.

>>2369230
AIDS didn't even exist until 20th century you uneducated retard.

>>2369230
He also calls crossdressing an abomination.

>>2369237
that's just a general example
it could be anything since fudge-packing is a sick act.

>>2369223
If it is God's will to not exert his will in a specific context, isn't that itself an expression of God's will?

>God banned polygamy

When did he do that?

Polygamy is alright. Read the holy Qur'an.

Being a Christian seems really tedious and dumb.

>>2369245
It is sick because it doesn't make kids. It literally is that simple. God also outright killed Onan since he pulled out and sprayed his jizz on the floor. Reproduction is pretty fucking big in the Bible.

>>2369250
Never. Abraham, Isaac, David and Solomon had fucking harems.

>>2369258
Whatever he says...
We've got over 7 billion, so I guess we can drink all our bf's jizz as much as we want now.

>>2369247
By means of declaration and not substance itself.
Action ≠ meta-action

> Action = always active by nature, and therefore, invasive
> Meta-action = the process of deciding itself, which is self-active (thus - "meta") BUT can be passive if the result is not taking action

>>2369321
By active action, I balance a glass on the side of a table.
By passive inaction, I fail to prevent it from falling.

Was it my will for the glass to fall?

Yes, and here you'd prove God himself to be self-contradictory.
HOWEVER
This "glass" has a will on its own. God gaves it direct rules to balance good. It has - however - freedom of balancing bad and therefore - fall.

Here's eternal struggle of the philosophers and theologians: what's worse - God not controlling our free will or God controlling our free will?

If God was preventing sin from happening, it would violate freedom of our will.
If God was not preventing sin from happening, He would seem cruel by being passive.

This 0-1 logic however doesn't focus on the third element of the Will's theogony - that God is the ultimate ruler of the Universe, and even if our transient actions on this Earth caused someone's harm (here go all Holocaust arguments), the harm itself is not eternal. Eternally, we'll be freed from other people's harmful freedom (quite fast, comparing like 80-90 years of human's life to eternity with God) and enjoy staring at the Absolute.

>>2369223
If you think doing evil does not have evil consequences, you are really not looking at life properly.

There was no pain, no death, no sickness, no disease in the Garden of Eden.

Not until Adam sinned, and sin entered into the world, and humanity died. And then there were the curses, on man, woman, serpent, ground; on everything.

No, you may think you can do whatever you want, but God is not mocked. You will sow what you reap.

Fornicate hundreds of times? Reap STDs.

Hundreds of gay encounters? Reap AIDS.

Pick one.

Men and demons cannot make a thing holy.

>>2369525
Freedom-safety. Impossible choice on our stage of spiritual development.

>>2369261
Nope. Abraham had one wife, she died, he remarried. Isaac had two wives and their two servants. David had a harem, and his son had sex with all of them in an act of rebellion that tore David's family apart. And Solomon had a bigger harem that caused him to leave the worship of the one true God and worship his foreign wives' foreign pagan gods.

Jesus said quite clearly that God created mankind male and female so that one man and one woman could, by sexual intercourse, become united as one being.

>>2369544
*Jacob had two wives and their two servants.

Isaac had his cousin.

>This "glass" has a will on its own. God gaves it direct rules to balance good. It has - however - freedom of balancing bad and therefore - fall.
However, it is in the glass' nature to fall, because in this metaphor I am the one who decided gravity acts on glass.

>vindictive rednecks assuming that God must also act like a vindictive redneck

Really made me think.

>>2369555
>However, it is in the glass' nature to fall

Not it's not. People were created good and they're ultimately good. This is what the Bible says and what the Church teaches. Don't fall for calvinist heresies, desu.

>>2369185
so then why did he make sodomy and adultery?

>>2369185
Because it leads to STDs?

Anyway, jokes aside, don't STDs originate from the Americas? I thought everyone in Europe was just wontanly screwing each other until the Colombian Exchange brought over a little somethin' that wasn't so welcome.

>>2370528
We needed a hole to expel waste from. Some people will stick their dick in anything that won't bite it off. He created sodomy as much as he created any other sin.

>>2370528
Man made sodomy and adultery through its own free will.

>>2369169
polygamy doesn't work emotionally

homosexuality is disgusting and homosexuals are depressed and suicidal.

>>2370542
No.

>>2369169
The same reason his permissive will lets all evil to happen: it doesn't actually matter in the long run.

>>2369169
>So God forbade polygamy and homosexuality to avoid STD's. Got it.
This doesnt make sense.
The chances of lesbians getting STDs are far less greater than a straight persons.

>>2370542
>don't STDs originate from the Americas?
what? Of course not, STDs are everywhere.

really makes me think

>>2371242
Because the Jews killed Jesus. And most genocides were done to pagans.

>>2370665

Add to that "sex between a man and a woman is a very powerful act that binds the two into one union".

>it's an atheist plays dumb and acts as if actions having consequences is somehow an unreasonable part of life episode

Maybe God wanted to create microorganisms that he considered beautiful but he realized they were dangerous to humans so he warned us to stay away from them, huh?
Who are you to say that a whole genus of life shouldn't exist just so you can sit around all day stimulating your pleasure centers without consequences, hmmm?
I guess jellyfish and pointy rocks shouldn't exist either so you can have fun at the beach without a care in the world too right?

Everything isn't about you and your comfort you self-centered prick!
Spoiled little hedonistic shit!
