Quote# 34471

[discussing whether it is possible for babies to sin]

Take a shiny object and wave it in front of a baby and as sure as the sun comes up, he'll reach for it.

Now, take it away from him and watch what happens. He'll pitch a fit because he wants that object.

That's coveting, which is a sin.

Well, hey, then abortion is good because then it sends them into Jesus' arms before they can ever sin! Yay!

Which is why this guys children sit there, blank expressions on their faces, unable to think, unable to do anything on their own.

Coveting is desiring something that belongs to somebody else. Tell me if the baby is aware that something belongs to somebody else and that he has free will to desire it, not instinct.

I'm not totally sure if you mean sexuality as in sexual preference or sexuality as in sexual behaviour, but in both cases, the answer is "Venerial diseases"
It's not just the Christians who have a thing against non-reproductive sex, most religions and societies before the germ theory of disease did. Not being idiots, they noticed that sexual promiscuity tended to result in people being struck down by mysterious illness, a.k.a. God.
The strength of sexual taboos correlates with the prevalence of venerial disease.
That's why God 'visits the sins of the fathers on the children'. It was not an instruction to God to do so; it was an observation of what happened.
So as long as you practice safe sex, you're right with God.
As for MikeMcK's tormenting babies, that's NOT what Jesus meant when he said "Suffer the little children"

I thought only magpies liked shiny objects - wait - so magpies are sinners too?

MikeMcK is one of those SoBs that would starve a child because wanting food is "coveting."
Someone should apply high voltage to this person's groin before he can reproduce.

lumax: Ferrets, too.

I don't believe what I'm reading here....... So perhaps another "huh?" would be in order?

Like a baby knows how to sin and covet? Yeah, I want a rattle which is gold embossed, just like Charlie, who lives next door, and soon I'll be driving a motorized....

Aw never mind. This is just totally silly.

Is it a sin to covet for the head of this asshole?

Technically yes, but as Mike clearly isn't using his for anything important, I don't see the harm in taking it.

Burn babies at the stake.
That's the right fucking way to go.

You probably still get pissed at the taxes deducted from your paycheck like everybody else. How is that different?

No mo' reproduction fo' you.

Oops I think you've just prooved that the concept of sin is inherently flawed.

Bad day for you.

Congrats you are a fucking moron! Also a complete asshole. Here's sincerely hoping you are infertile!

Babies can't help the way they behave, they aren't capable of being selfish because they aren't old enough to really comprehend that they have needs, let alone put deliberately put their needs before everybody else's needs!

Yes, human nature is a sin. Everything we're predisposed to want or do is bad.

This is essentially what you're getting at, Mikey, yes?

Wow. What he described babies doing is PURELY NATURAL. So, he's saying babies doing what nature said is a sin? o_O As if this post didnt make enough sense, im pretty sure babies cant produce sentient thought until they are one and a half years old. so, hes saying something that might not even be able to produce sentient thought is sinning.....FAIL.

Original sin is pointing at shiny things and giggling, it seems.

God must really hate babies.

Of course, we're all condemned to eternal suffering for acting exactly the way we were created.
