I feel like being controversial...

There is no absolute truth.

Statements like that - and I'm about to reveal myself as the ditz I really am, if I haven't done that long ago - really blow my mind. The immediate reaction is, why of course there is absolute truth. What a stupid question. But then... you think.

I would enjoy reading a debate on absolute truth, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to contribute anything of substance.

I took a philosophy course in my first year at university. Once the professor asked: how do you know the hallway is outside the door? I was lost from there on in. IT JUST IS! It was there just a minute ago, I'm not sure where it could have gone, and if it were to go anywhere, wouldn't the roof cave in on our classroom?
 
Oh, believe me, lavender, uttering that sentence to the right (wrong?) person will get your ass chewed from here 'til next Sunday.

But since it seems to have elicited a less than lukewarm response from p_p_man (as in urine?), how about...

2001 Space Odessey is a pretentious, dull excuse for a movie.
 
How about...

...a woman's place is in the home. Since they became 'liberated' and entered the workplace they have contributed to the lowering of wages, the unemployment of men, the shaky economy and the collapse of traditional family values.

Not only that but they spend too long at checkouts looking for their money, count it all out in the smallest change they can find and turn into screaming haridans at the blink of an eye if a man dares to criticise their behaviour.

Yeah, that qualifies as controversial. Of course we're far, far beyond the point of needing to justify that chauvanistic crap with an answer.

So I can only assume you're hoping to get smacked around by the lovely ladies of the board. A good spanking turn you on, little boy? LOL
 
Oh, but I like the phrase Screaming Harridan. I think I just found my title 750 posts before I need to. :D

See they can't even be controversial in a reasonable way!
 
Or how about: Dogs suck. Cats rule. :D

[It doesn't qualify as controversial if people don't understand it, lavender. :) Social construction theory? I'm barely getting the strict construction theory. Between you and Mustang Sally's "there is no hallway" my head is spinning...]
 
lavender said:
...Do you believe in Foucault's social construction theory of homosexuality? Or, do you agree more with the essentialist line of thought?

Wrong board my dear! If you want to talk about lesbians doing it, you'd get some takers, but a discussion of Foucault...no, no, no. ;)

How about this for a controversial topic?

Why is it that so many people who profess their religiosity are spending time at an erotica site loaded with links to pornography? Is your religion eyewash or does it really mean something? If it means something, how do you square your presence here with the tenets of your religion? Would you share this link with your pastor/rabbi/mulla/priest?

Perhaps Jimmy Swaggart wasn't really a reprobate, he was just like the rest of us wayward souls who love good sex wherever we can find it.
 
Its fun to play with the question, but is also very serious. I doubt, however, that the more righteous among us will want to talk about the real experience. Of course, with the question buried in this thread perhaps it will be overlookded.
 
Religion is only a crutch for those who cannot come to terms with their own mortality. They need to believe in something in order to get through life.

So the reason there are so many 'believers' at Lit is that they also know they have animal instincts seeking animal pleasures. They're being honest with themselves!
 
LOL@DevilMayCare. Hey, I got religiosity. I have no problem squaring my presence here with the tenets of my religion. I am the pastor. Bet me. Please bet me.

Have you not read the Song of Solomon? God likes erotic.

It goes along the lines of...

I got my Jesus, I got my moses, I even got Budda!

Have you had a Divine Intervention today?

I've heard of the Church of Perpetual Indulgence and wouldn't be a bit surprised if you were the pastor Deb. ;)

And even if you're affiliated with a more conventional religion I have no doubt you'd find your own way to whatever tickles your fancy. In posing the question I was thinking about the more conventional among the flock. (That's a Christian term, I'm not borrowing from MP's lexicon.) Maybe we should do a thread about people's religious affiliations and how it squares with what's happening at this site?

Yes, it's gorgeous poetry. But if God loves the erotic, how about anal sex. Last I knew God drove Lot and his family out of Sodom and Gomorrah before the towns were destroyed because the citizens were indulging in "unnatural acts." They were sodomites, right? And how about girls drinking cum from a glass. I doubt you'll find that in the Song of Solomon, though the picture appears regularly on this site.

I came across the site below that addresses the issue of pornography from a Christian perspective, asking the question -
How can I tell if I'm getting addicted to sex or pornography?
http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-f016.html

That seems like a reasonable question to ask, right Deb?

So, I guess in the mind of online Christians, I'm an addict. If that is even possible seeing as how my gender wasn't addressed on that site at all.

But there's hope for you my daughter if only you'll repent. ;)

Now don't try to pull us into that chauvinism thing again...that's for another thread.

We're talking sex and religion here, pornography and religion. Any addicts out there who are in trouble with their Lord? What would your pastor say if he/she knew you were here tonight?

We'll set up a little confessional right here and allow the brothers and sisters to unburden themselves of their sins.
