<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Raspunderea civila delictuala este regementata de codul civil in art 998- 1003.</p>
<p>Raspunderea civila delictuala este, astfel:</p>
<p>1. pentru fapta proprie</p>
<p>2.pentru fapta ilicita a altei persoane</p>
<p>3. raspunderea pentru prejudiciile cauzate de lucruri ori animale</p>
<p>4.raspunderea proprietarului pentru prejudiciile produse prin ruina unor constructii care ii apartin</p>
<p><strong>Notiuni generale:</strong></p>
<p>Faptul juridic ilicit care da nastere obligatiei de despagubire se numeste <strong>delict civil</strong>.</p>
<p>Raspunderea civila poate fi delictuala si contractuala, dupa cum prejudiciul rezulta din faptul ilicit cauzator de prejudicii sau din neexecutarea ori executarea necorespunzatoarea obligatiei contractuale.</p>
<p>Raspunderea civila delictuala este o sanctiune civila cu caracter reparator.</p>
<p>Ce e important de stiut este faptul ca, neavand un caracter de pedeapsa, raspunderea civila se transmite mostenitorilor autorului faptului prejudiciabil.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://ronosborne.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/ronosborne2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-25" title="ronosborne2" src="http://ronosborne.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/ronosborne2.jpg?w=120" alt="" width="120" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">As the pastor of a large church, many things come across my desk asking for my support/backing/endorsement.  It is rare for me to participate in such things.  With that said, <em>The Manhattan Declaration</em> strikes at the very heart of those things that Southern Baptist hold so dear.  I can tell you that I signed this document without hesitation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">More than 150 Evangelical, Orthodox and Catholic leaders signed the statement, which was released to the media last Friday. You can click </span><a href="http://www.manhattandeclaration.org/"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong>here</strong></span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong> </strong>to read the nearly 5,000-word declaration in its entirety, but basically it defends three core issues—the sanctity of human life, biblical marriage and uncompromising religious liberty. All three are issues that, unfortunately, are in grave danger in our great country today. I am providing just a few words here on what the declaration states:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><em><span style="color:#ffffff;">Because we honor justice and the common good, we will not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo destructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other anti-life act; nor will we bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or refrain from proclaiming the truth, as we know it, about morality and immorality and marriage and the family. We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is Caesar’s. But under no circumstances will we render to Caesar what is God’s.</span></em></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">God’s people cannot afford to be complacent as government and secularist attempt to force the Lord’s people and the Lord’s church to participate in those things that press against our most foundational beliefs and convictions. I want to encourage you to read the document.  Pass this link on to others.  Stand firm by your convictions and pray that the Lord will protect and preserve this great country as we yield ourselves to the principles and precepts of His Word.  <em>Soli Deo Gloria</em>—to God alone be the Glory!</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.admin.ch/ch/f/pore/va/20091129/det546.html">68.2 of the Swiss voters have rejected the popular initiative for a ban on exports of commodities, infrastructure and know how for military purposes</a>. Only hours after being announced this result has been widely commented. Although it was clear from the beginning that the idea did not stand the slightest chance, especially not in the current crisis.</p>
<p>We can be glad for no less than seven reasons for this outcome.</p>
<p>First of all, it would not have made the world a better place. If Swiss companies do not sell their aircraft someone else will. For instance, <a href="http://www.pilatus-aircraft.com/applications/press_release/index_rd.php?det=0000000294">Pilatus Aircraft will be able to deliver 25 PC-21 trainers</a> to the United Arab Emirates.</p>
<p>This leads to the second argument. Highly qualified jobs will be preserved and precious know how remains in Switzerland. Even if left wing activists often say the opposite, the arms industry in general and aerospace in particular remains a high value adding and know how intensive sector. This is more than a welcome addition to a national economy confronted with a crisis.</p>
<p>Third, a &#8220;yes&#8221; to end exports would not have improved the image of Switzerland abroad. The contrary would have been true. Our banks have suffered enormously and have to reinvent themselves. Fortunately our aerospace and arms industry remains what it has to be: a trustworthy partner.</p>
<p>Fourth, far more than the directly concerned jobs would have been lost. The more a sector is specialized and high tech-oriented, the more it sustains suppliers, service providers and other activities.</p>
<p>A fifth risk would have been the erosion of technological know how crucial for other sectors as well. Examples are civil aerospace, civil engineering or systems and components. The Swiss industry as a whole would have suffered.</p>
<p>A sixth argument is the capacity of the companies to recycle themselves. Adaptations of specialized workers, what the employees of the aerospace and military industry are, are extremely difficult. All successful examples show that the time lag is extremely long.</p>
<p>The final and seventh argument is the capacity to innovate of the Swiss arms industry. Its products and services have always been trendsetters. If they were forced to close down, it is doubtful whether hypothetical successors will achieve the same level of reputation for long.</p>
<p>What do you think about the above observations? How do you see the prospects of Swiss military and civil aerospace?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rainbow-gay-flag1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-121" title="rainbow-gay-flag" src="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rainbow-gay-flag1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="299" /></a>In the attempt at quashing the discrimination evident in even the most modern of societies, it is an inevitable discussion – <em>Same-sex marriage.</em> As I am writing from Australia, I feel it is only applicable to write about this issue in the context of our Australian political spectrum. That being said, recently (November 2009) legislation was passed within the Australian Capital Territory allowing civil partnerships, with the inclusion of the choice of an additional ceremony. Across Australia civil unions are legally recognised within three states and territories. These changes offer a glimmer of hope to the GLBTI community. However this is technically not an institution that can be defined as marriage. The Rudd Government supports the notion that marriage is an institution that exclusively exists between a man and a woman. This ideology has won the support of numerous religious groups across the nation and indeed peace of mind in the confidence of the status quo.</span><span style="font-size:x-small;">The entire notion of <em>same-sex </em>marriage has been opposed by the Australian Government since its creation, yet with the emergence of civil unions society has been lead to believe that these partnerships are the most apt solution to the unrest present in the community. Yet the question still remains – <strong><em>Why cannot two consenting, taxpaying adults marry, regardless of their gender?</em> </strong>Political groups respond with the finesse in rhetoric, stating that there should not be a redefinition of marriage for the mere minority. But the issue has far more depth than the generalisation stated above. The entire notion of separate but equal, equal yet blatantly <em>not,</em> is one that makes no logical sense whatsoever. If this is the case, then why implement an institution (an institution for a major event in the lives of humanity) that embodies this notion? Discrimination is the element that provokes this lack of equality across the board for single sex relationships, not to mention the ordeal undergone by inter-sex or transgender peoples in the recognition of their relationships.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><span style="font-size:x-small;">According to statistics founded by Latrobe University, figures suggest that school is one of the most dangerous places to be same-sex attracted. Due to the amount of verbal and indeed physical abuse evident in this spectrum. This also provokes thought regarding the nature of Australian relationships and their portrayal within the wider society. Regardless of the inclusion of civil partnerships, Australian society and in particular family life is used to great effect in shaping these homophobic attitudes amongst the youth. The elements of bullying that occur to students that follow the majority is ridiculous, add the topic of sexuality to the cauldron and there are serious ramifications for homosexual or transgender youth.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;">This is where issue of marriage is particularly crucial. In effect, whilst civil partnerships, unions are a step in the right direction (to borrow form the phrase pool of Rudd) they are not equal to marriage. Civil unions are legally recognised for residents within the three states and territories present within Australia. In addition these unions also vary from state to state in the level of protection offered by the Government, some may receive adoption rights, whilst in another state couples may only receive property rights. Civil union may not even be portable, two may be considered ‘life partners’ in one state, and nothing legally binding in another. Marriage offers an entirety of protection, it establishes a spouse as the next-of-kin, substitute blood relatives in the eyes of the law. This title is essential for loving couples, as it provides peace of mind, knowing that your partner may have an official say in medical, property or funeral matters. Marriage is also legally recognised by all Governments across the globe (currently between a man and a woman, but this stresses the importance of the global community to expand the notion of marriage), and it can be performed anywhere and still be recognised, which is more than what can be said for civil – unions. Theoretically these unions were designed to provide protection and equality for single sex relationships, whilst remaining separate from marriage. <strong><em>Why?</em> –</strong> To keep the sanctity of marriage in tact, to not redefine the notion of marriage, to keep the status quo. On those points I feel it is essential to meticulously dissect each argument for the purpose of revealing the sheer paradoxical and illogical beliefs behind this lack of equality.</p>

<div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"> </span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;">The inclusion of the GLBTI community into the institution of marriage will corrupt its sanctity. It is a threat to marriage as a whole.</span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em><span style="font-size:x-small;">This is an argument based on religious principles, which would be justifiable if marriage were to be exclusively based upon religion. However with the excruciatingly slow separation of Church and state that has occurred over the development of politics, marriage has lost its link to religion. But if one were to delve into the depths of history it is evident that marriage was not created through the Judeo-Christian faith – Nor through any facet of Hinduism, Buddhism, or any other prominent world religion. The fact of the matter is that the union of two peoples existed thousands of years before ancient philosophers and prophets began making sense of the universe through the context of religion. Marriage began as a diverse and separate institution from religious belief. This would thereby render any link to religion or its right to deny couples to marry (<em>in a non-religious ceremony</em>) illogical. Religious groups would be under no obligation to perform religious ceremonies for same-sex couples, if it did indeed contravene the particular denomination’s beliefs. Single-sex relationships do not call for the right to marry as a manner in which to push their beliefs into a chosen faith, surely the homosexual community understand the importance of respect in regard to the beliefs systems of humanity.</span></em></span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em><span style="font-size:x-small;">Regarding the notion as a threat to marriage as a whole it could be stated that divorce would be a greater threat to this legally binding partnership. With 50% of marriages ending in divorce why would the Government willingly turn away couples that have the solemn desire to express their love, and receive subsequent protection under the law?</span></em></span></em></div>

<description><![CDATA[The Government should not redefine the institution of marriage a small minority of the population.  ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;">The Government should not redefine the institution of marriage a small minority of the population.</em><br />
<em> This statement would be one of the more sound arguments in this debate had it statistical evidence to support the particular notion of minority. Regardless of sexual orientation a Galaxy Poll, which was performed in June 2009 found that <strong>60% of Australian’s support the idea of homosexual marriage </strong>(see: <a href="http://www.australianmarriageequality.com/news/20090616.htm">http://www.australianmarriageequality.com/news/20090616.htm</a>). Therefore it would simply illogical to state that only a minority desire the expansion of marriage to include diverse sexualities.</em></p>
<p><em> If that were too much for the Government to handle, then it would be wise to provide the same protection with a different name. However this was tried in the introduction of civil unions, and these partnerships did not achieve what they were theoretically designed to do. In this sense, the only manner through which equality may be achieved is through the expansion of marriage. Surely a homosexual couple that ties the knot in Tasmania has no detrimental impact upon a heterosexual couple residing in Western Australia. In much the same way as relationships between people in Queensland have no adverse effect upon myself, who is evidently single.</em></p>
<p><em>But without bringing into question the accuracy of these polls, would it matter if less than 60% of the populace support single-sex unions? In this instance, people are being denied the right to express their love in a manner which lawfully protects them. These same people are law abiding tax payers, that provide revenue for the country. One might argue that heterosexual singles also pay tax, but the fact is there is a choice. True, not all couples apt for marriage, yet the choice is still evident. Regarding the GLBTI community, the choice has been made for them and the same people that claim the right to marry, also deny this same right to other human beings &#8211; it sounds rather hypocritical. </em></p>
<p><em> As for this redefinition of marriage it would stimulate the economy, in that homosexual couples would purchase and use all manner of services for their ceremonies. This means more money being placed back into retail, and indeed public function venues and catering services. This ‘minority,’ provides a positive impact upon the economy as whole and the Government has spent enormous amounts in preparation for Global Financial Crisis – Why not allow for this redefinition for a positive impact on the economy? – Not to mention the joy and happiness it brings to couples and communities across the nation.</em></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em><span style="font-size:x-small;">The Government must keep the status-quo in order to retain key seats in Parliament. </span></em></span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"> </span></em></span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em><span style="font-size:x-small;">This is one of the underlying factors in the heads of Government, regarding its stance on the debate. Again I evidence the idea that 60% of the population in support of gay marriage, with figures even higher in the youth of the nation. This continued stance is an insult to the ideals of democracy as the Australian public. The country is not ruled through communism, nor through any aspect of fascism, yet it would appear that elements are applicable in this case. The fact is, that this Australian Government is deaf to the pleas of the majority of the population, which directly contravenes the right of the tax paying population to be heard by their leaders. We do not live in a fascist country, but in regards to this issue, it appears that there is a sense of democratic dictatorship in the air. This merely evidences the idea that the Government must keep a somewhat conservative stance in order to retain funding from sponsors and large business. Yet whilst the country is based on the notions of capitalism, let it not rule in the political spectrum.<span style="font-size:x-small;"><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"><a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/marriage12472325551.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-127" title="marriage1247232555" src="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/marriage12472325551.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></span></em></span></span></em></span></em></div>
<div><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em><span style="font-size:x-small;"> </span></em>Those arguments aside, returning to the notion of discrimination and homophobia, the destruction of the model of the nuclear family is essential in the stamping out of discrimination. Society <strong>should not</strong> cater to the idea of a mother, father and 2.3 children as the set model for family. Through this incremental desensitisation to homosexuals in society, can there finally a deeper level of humanity evident within our society. The first step is basic human rights, the second civil unions, the third, marriage, the fourth, adoption (an issue I will delve into later).

<p>A Embraer e a segunda maior companhia aérea austríaca, a NIKI Luftfahrt GmbH, assinaram contrato para mais dois jatos EMBRAER 190, confirmando direitos de compra do contrato original anunciado em julho de 2008. O início das entregas desta nova encomenda está previsto para o primeiro semestre de 2011.</p>
<p>“É uma grande honra para a Embraer ter a NIKI reafirmando sua confiança no EMBRAER 190 por meio da confirmação destes direitos de compra apenas seis meses após o recebimento do primeiro E-Jet”, disse Mauro Kern, Vice-Presidente Executivo da Embraer para o Mercado de Aviação Comercial. “Estamos realmente satisfeitos em ver os nossos E-Jets auxiliando a NIKI no inovador e restritivo mercado de baixo custo.”</p>
<p>Beneficiando-se do inigualável e baixo custo operacional dos E-Jets, bem como seu consumo de combustível e nível de emissão de poluentes reduzidos, a NIKI se tornou a primeira empresa aérea de baixo custo européia a operar o EMBRAER 190 com 112 assentos, otimizado pararotas de média demanda, juntamente com aeronaves narrowbody convencionais com capacidade de 150 a 210 assentos, otimizadas para rotas com grande demanda.</p>
<p>“O EMBRAER 190 se encaixa muito bem na nossa estratégia de crescimento e nos ajudará a ser uma empresa lucrativa pelo quinto ano consecutivo”, disse Niki Lauda, fundador e Presidente da NIKI Luftfahrt GmbH.</p>
<p>“Complementando a nossa frota de narrowbody, o EMBRAER 190 nos proporciona maior cobertura de mercado e o desenvolvimento de melhores oportunidades de negócios, oferecendo o mesmo nível de conforto aos nossos passageiros.”</p>

<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>The debate still flares with such passion in a modern context, in regards to homosexuality coinciding with religion. Love being the main underlying factor of both of these attributes of humanity creates a tension between the two.</em></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>From a Catholic perspective the church condemns the act of homosexuality, that is the act of sexual relations between a man and another man, or a woman and indeed another woman. The church however does not condemn same-sex attraction or personal desires so long as they are contained to within the person. For most this is completely outrageous, as they should be able to express their sexuality in a way in which they feel comfortable and safe. But before one can place the blame entirely upon the church one must understand that the church also condemns sexual practices for mere pleasure (therefore the banning of contraception). It is stated that every act of sex should be open to the creation of a human being, which is the church’s main defence when dealing with matters of homosexuality.</em></span></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-size:x-small;">There is no doubt, in a Catholic belief system homosexuality is intrinsically &#8220;wrong.&#8221; However, there is a <strong>direct lack of evidence why</strong>. It is almost as though if questioned, a believer would merely say (in a more eloquent manner) <em>&#8220;because God said so.&#8221;</em> If as human beings we were to believe and worship everything with more power than ourselves then where would I society be headed? Would there be any scientific development? <strong>Would there be any progression of humanity?</strong>This other <strong>terribly discriminatory</strong> ideology that homosexual relationships have the capacity to devalue or in effect hinder a heterosexual relationship is completely <strong><em>illogical</em>. </strong><em>How can a relationship that you have no knowledge of, destroy your relationship?</em> In regards to homosexual marriage, American comedian Wanda Sykes puts it into a humorous colloquialism, &#8220;If you don’t believe in same-sex marriage, then don&#8217;t marry somebody of the same-sex.&#8221; Marriage is another topic that is too lengthy to delve into right now, however, people argue that the sanctity of marriage must be protected at all costs. However, marriage existed before religion,<strong> <em>before</em> Christianity, before Islam, before Judaism. In fact many of modern church practices (the use of candles, incense, etc.) were derived from the more ritualistic services of paganism. </strong>The Church&#8217;s view on homosexuality is clear and concise. Clarity is usually beneficial in most situations. But the passion at which the Church argues that these acts of homosexuality are <strong>&#8220;wrong&#8221;</strong> has a direct <strong>relationship</strong> to the amount of discrimination that exists in the wider society. One might even go so far as to argue that it could be the one of the underlying factors in the higher rate of suicide in gay teens. It an absolutely appalling statistic that approximately<em> <strong>30% of GLBT youths will attempt suicide.</strong></em> The Church is also used as a justification for violent and discriminatory acts. Matthew Shepherd’s death is a tragic example of the extent to which fear and text can motivate someone. Imagine if it were you, tied to a fence post, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die. Why? Merely because of the colour of your skin, the type of men you found attractive, your religion, your political beliefs, the way in which you desired to express your sexuality and who you were as a person.<br />
<a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dark_church_by_loveinelevator.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-10" title="dark_church_by_loveinelevator" src="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dark_church_by_loveinelevator.jpg?w=1024" alt="" width="423" height="279" /></a><br />
<em><strong>This cycle of discrimination has to be stagnated. If not for the safety of the GLBT community, but so that we can function and develop as a species. The Church had made its stance loud and clear, but there must be logical and rational Christians and Catholics that see the flaw and larger consequences that this stance creates, not only for homosexuals, but for the wider human society.</strong></em>&#8220;Homosexuality is a lifestyle <em>choice.&#8221; -<strong>Wrong</strong>. Homosexuality is <strong>not a choice of lifestyle</strong>, but more of a part of a <em>person perceives himself or herself to be</em>. Modern psychology states that homosexuality is <em>at least 30-70% genetic</em>, therefore it can&#8217;t simply be argued that a man or woman wakes up one morning and decides that from this point in their lives that they will be homosexual. This is not to be confused with a period of discovery that many homosexuals undertake, but as Erikson defined in his stages of psychological development that all teens undergo this stage when they are attempting to find themselves and who they are as a person. The <strong>detrimental</strong> influence of society also creates this <strong>fear</strong> amongst many of today&#8217;s youth that instills into them a <strong><em>fear of being themselves</em>.</strong> Not only around their peers, but also with family and even by themselves. Hiding from one self may also lead to many psychological problems in latter life.<a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dark_church_by_loveinelevator.jpg"></a>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>To bring up a thoroughly visited topic, I thought I might point out that I didn&#8217;t use any biblical quotes or references regarding my discussion on homosexuality.</em></span></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>One of my intellectual and quizzically inclined readers pointed out some interesting biblical quotes regarding the church&#8217;s stance on homosexuality.</em></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>Let us begin:<br />
<strong>Genesis 19:5-8</strong>-&#8221;Calling to Lot they said, &#8216;Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so that we may abuse them.&#8217;<br />
Lot came out to them at the door, and having closed the door behind him said, &#8216;I beg you, brothers, do no such wicked thing. Listen, I have two daughters who are virgins. I am ready to send them out to you, to treat as it pleases you. But as for the men, do nothing to them, for they have come under the shadow of my roof.&#8217;&#8221;</em></span></span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>To place this in context the quote was articulated to be within the town of Sodom, and the two &#8220;men&#8221;? Well they were said to be angels of God. The ideologies contained within in the quote are not direct and clear. To begin the quote itself does <strong>not</strong> exclusively denote the act of homosexuality. But also in addition to this it does <strong>not </strong>even state that the abuse of the two angels was intended to be sexual. Regardless of the implications, even if this was intended to be sexual abuse, then would this simply mean that &#8220;Yahweh&#8221; as described in Genesis was condemning Rape, Sexual Abuse and Nonconsentual Sex? Rather than jumping to the discriminatory conclusion of homosexuality? Angels were beings completely void of sexual sin; meaning that even if women intended the same actions it could be stated that this would be &#8220;wicked&#8221; in the context as well.</em></p>
<p><em>The simple fact of the matter is, that Sodom was not an exclusively homosexually inclined town, but a cacophony of sinning did occur. Rape, murder, incest, bestiality were all the norms of this province, meaning that one cannot simply jump to the simplest conclusion to merely justify their own beliefs.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Jude 7</span></span><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">-<em>&#8220;The fornication of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other nearby towns was equally unnatural, and it is a warning to us that they are paying for their crimes in eternal fire.&#8221; </em></span></span><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">I&#8217;ll try to stay as simplistic in regards to this quote. It has been scientifically proven that there is direct evidence of gay animal behaviour. In fact homosexuality has been observed in over 1500 species in nature, for a full details please see the live science Website, regarding the <em>Homosexuality of Animals.</em><br />
This thereby proving that this type of sexual practice is not in any way shape or form unnatural. Regarding punishment and eternal fire, philosophers have argued for centuries over life after death and possible implications of our earthy actions, one cannot simply answer that there is a definite heaven and hell, nor a lack of existence.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>Leviticus 18:22-23</em><em>-&#8221;You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.<br />
Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.&#8221;<br />
Leviticus 20:13- &#8220;And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.&#8221;<br />
Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 are quite direct and exact. The simple question is why is man lying with another man abomination? Or would it be enough to argue that the mere fact that &#8220;God&#8221; interpreted through a cryptic prophet has stated so that this is true. The death penalty for sexuality is also illegal (in western civilisation) in a contemporary context meaning this is in no way applicable.<br />
What is abomination?<br />
Abomination-&#8221;The Biblical words usually translated abomination do not always convey the same sense of moral exceptionalism as the English term does today, as it often may signify that which is forbidden or unclean according to the religion.<br />
To put this into a colloquialism, &#8220;acting on natural homosexual desires is wrong because a deity stated that it was wrong.&#8221;<br />
Regarding bestiality, personally I have entire moral objection to any sexual act encapsulates an animal and human. But the matter is that humans are animals, in fact we are separated from chimpanzees by a tiny 1.2-% of our genetics. This is NOT to say, that bestiality is correct, but merely to prove the way in which the quote was written is not exact and one cannot expect people to blindly follow an ideology, especially when we have the scientific resources that humanity has at it&#8217;s disposal in a modern context. The issue has also been raised, why it is apt for myself to postulate that a man may indeed, love another man, woman and woman, but not a human and animal. But then I would merely state that an animal has no capacity to state its desires. No form of communication to articulate its innermost thoughts. Therefore it would be wrong to love, lay or anything in between with a being that has no choice in the matter. People also postulate that animals lack the capacity to love in the same manner as humanity. Sex in the contexts of animals, is for the sole purposes of reproduction. Whilst animals portray facets of a maternal love, this is not the love of which I speak. The love that transcends, body and flesh, love between two consenting adults, a love that sets the heart of both beings into an uncontrollable fire. <a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/love-wallpaper1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-34" title="love-wallpaper" src="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/love-wallpaper1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><br />
NB: Love between two consenting adults might also be viewed as incestuous, which I am also opposed. However, my logical justification for this, is that the love that a brother, sister, father, mother may experience for their relatives is again, a maternal love. Not a passionate fire, it is a love that is philanthropic, not sexual. The reason that these forms of sexual encounters have a logical immorality attached to them, is that, genetically the bodies are rather similar. It would almost be as loving one self, which is again a different kind of love. In addition to the various physiological diseases that can be created through the doubling up of genes – <strong>What kind of intrinsic, morally just love would go on to harm another living being?</strong></em><strong> </strong></span></span></div>

Do not <a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/human-rights-poster33.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-60" title="human-rights-poster3" src="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/human-rights-poster33.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="400" /></a>be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.&#8221;</em></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>The reference has massive contemporary implications. This quote can’t be applied to a contemporary society context as, the standard to which this ancient society held each other has changed enormously regarding the standard today. What might be considered greed back then may simply be common practice today. This other term, homosexual offenders, can be interpreted in a numerous number of ways, it might simply be those who are violently sexual + homosexual, one may even go so far as to say that a homosexual offender is a being that offends a person of the homosexual persuasion, personally I find it difficult to comprehend people devising their morals from a text published over 2000 years from now, as how could it possibly have any application to a modern society? Romans 1:26-27- &#8220;For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust t one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense [sic] of their error which was meet.&#8221;</em></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>I would merely use the words of another in a situation like this, regarding the Romans passage, there are many view points, two being:<br />
J. Nelson: &#8220;Paul didn&#8217;t write it as a condemnation of homosexuality, but as a criticism of Greek beahaviour in temple worship. Greeks often incorporated sexual behaviour in temple worship.&#8221;<br />
D. Bartlett:  &#8220;This is the tough one. I think one doesn&#8217;t get around this. It&#8217;s the only place in the New Testament where there&#8217;s any extensive discussion of homosexual relations. In Romas, there&#8217;s no question that Paul thinks certain kinds of homosexual beahaviour are a result of the idolatry of the pagan world.&#8221;</em></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>The Archbishop of Cantebury: &#8211; &#8220;Many current ways of reading miss the actual direction of the passage. Paul is making a primary point not about homosexuality but about the delusions of the supposedly law-abiding. [These lines are] for the majority of modern readers the most important single text in Scripture on the subject of homosexuality.<br />
Put in a more simplistic way, it could be said that these passages are often misconceived to give a detrimental view on homosexualirt. Even if this were the intended case, it does not have a substantiating practical application to the wider society and is there by interesting to examine for the purposes of history, but <strong>useless. </strong>It has merely been interpreted by humanity giving a discriminatory yet cryptic impression of that which we refer to as God.</em></span></span></div>
