bingo.

Why would god have only male or female attributes?
Looks like for any god to be complete would require both male and female aspects.

Anyone remember that movie with Jimmy Smits and Helen Hunt. In that one god spoke simulataneously with male and female voice.

interesting. but, according to my personal beliefs as a Christian, God has no sex. but that is just what I believe. I'm not bashing anyone, nor am I saying that all Christiansbelieve that.

interesting Paperdoll, reading some of your previous posts, I would have thought you were an antheist.

Just an observation, not bashing!

stop it you're intimidating me...

God doesnt need a sex because God is no person or does it have a form that you can name

Yeah, that was generally my perception of it, God has no need to reproduce and one of the main reasons we have gender is for reproduction. Hence, having a sex would be a bit redundant. Plus, yeah, God would also have no need for a physical form so again, a gender would be a touch pointless.

I guess you could look at it that way. A soul is a soul and takes on either male or female attributes depending on whether it lives in a male or female body.
Since god has no body, it cannot take on those attributes.

I don't know who all read my previous post that I'm referring to, but I said that I believe the ideal soul is the right balance of femininity and masculinity...and actually I think femininity should outweigh the masculinity, as femininity is far more attractive to me. Of course this kind of soul defies what Seeker said, which could explain why these kinds of souls are so rare.
I also mentioned feeling a feminine energy...at least when I feel outside energy... then again, maybe that's why I think all this because I, myself, am in touch with my feminine side and somewhat fit this description... ...gee, this has all the makings of the worst post ever...

Yay! 50 posts!

I think that most mature people have managed to balance their masculine and femine sides.
This is especially true for the older souls.
I don't know how true it is, but I feel ancient, and I recognize the same in my 11 year old son. My wifes also 'feels' very ancient.
Now, my daughter, thats another story. I think this is her souls first try at being human!

...but really...why would anyone want to call themselves human.....humans are sick.

I also think all humans are deep inside and born bi-sexually.
I think its just the way society is thinking that makes you straight,but there are some people that just ignore that and become gay/lesbian or bi.
In the end bi sexuality is the best thing as the only thing that really matters is love,and wheter you fall in love with a man or a woman,it doesnt matter(as we are all the same as a soul),the love is all that matters. But I suppose opinions differ on that,but for all those people that say like ieeeeeuww sex with the same sex,picture this:

What if you were born and raised on an island were gay sexuality was the most common thing in the world,were gay people just walked around and straight people were considered filty,would you still be straight?

Then is the question,what would you be if you were born and raised on an empty island..lets say by animals(and no dont tellme tarzan was straight because well tis a stupid story )

What if you were born and raised on an island were gay sexuality was the most common thing in the world,were gay people just walked around and straight people were considered filty,would you still be straight? [/b]

well, I'd be happy that I was even *born*. If homosexuality got more and more acceptance, It'd be the end of humanity.

Then is the question,what would you be if you were born and raised on an empty island..lets say by animals[/b]

well, let's see. the island is empty? that would also be the end of humanity. let's say there was one other person, male or female, and you were gay. hmm? what's that? oh. end of humanity.


I *personally* think that being 'gay' is RIDICULOUS. it's....wrong. look at a man and a woman. there are parts that fit. look at a man and man, woman and woman...no. it's not right. you need a male and a female to reproduce. that's how it works. otherwise...well..living is futile.

with that said, let me point something out. I do not *hate* gays, lesbians, and bis. It is my job as a Christian to love all people. I simply disagree with what they do.

Well, i gues thats your opinion, but I suppose alot of christians think that way.I personally think that we should accept it and I am perfectly fine with gay/lesbian/bi sexual people.It really sint ridiculous,if two people love eachother...what does it matter that it *fits* , as I said before our souls have no sex anyway..its just how it *looks* , what do *looks* really matter when it comes to *love* between TWO SOULS not a man and a woman or a man and man

Also about the end of humanity answers,I know it coulnt really be that way because if everbody was gay/lesbian it would eventually be the end yes, im just saying what IF it was possible..

Look at our nearest cousins in the animal kingdom.
Chimps and Bonobo's

Both are bi-sexual, especially Bonobo's, they are very promiscuous.

What if you were born and raised on an island were gay sexuality was the most common thing in the world,were gay people just walked around and straight people were considered filty,would you still be straight? *

Yes

oh yeah.. 8)

Sorry but from my view point that's flawed logic. I have gay friends and have no problem with it, it's not relevant to our friendship, being gay is normal to me (in the sense that some people like the same sex), I'm also very much in touch with my femanine side so I think it's invalid to say I'm staight because of some sort of macho social conditioning. I simply don't find men attractive, being a horny teenager if I found a sexual attraction to someone else, regardless of gender, trust me, I'd be ripping my belt off in seconds. I simply don't feel any attraction to other men. The way I see homosexuality is a reflex of nature. We've overcrowded this planet and trampled all over it, as soon as we evolved beyond our basic instincts we've become a threat in terms of overpopulation, it's one of the problems with becoming so mentally advanced (in relation to other forms of life), you find more and more ways of surviving and proglonging your life and reproducing in huge numbers. As a result, in order to keep the population at a steady constant instead of blowing up even further, nature has created some people who prefer the same sex. As has been mentioned, more intelligent animals tend to display signs of homosexuality. It seems to me to be some sort of natural safeguard built into every race that starts to exhibit signs of becoming *too* preficiant at survival. Anyway, that's just my thoery that I've come up with and each too his own, I've been rambling for far too long.

*notgoingtosayanythingnotgoingtosayanything*

*that's it, deep breaths...*

Looks beyond the physical, the spirit has no parts that fit.
Reproduction has nothing to do with it, granted you are right, without it, humanity would not survive... and the physical bodys only purpose is to reproduce and pass on a part of itself. The sprits purpose is to grow and learn about itself and existance. Its like we are two separate things with different agendas

gah, nevermind....just have sex with whatever you want. human, animal, inanimate object, it doesn't matter anymore...
