SICK OF PEOPLE IMPOSING THEIR RELIGOUS BELIEFS ON OTHERS

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and provide for my child; whom I teach to be courteous, respect his elders, be a hard worker, have respect for all of humankind as well as the earth, and not to 'cram' his opinions and beliefs down other people's throats. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing christianity, it's just that I'm so sick and tired of others trying to decide what is 'morally acceptable' for me. These people need to have their facts straight before running off at the mouth! And yes, I do belong to a several 'Swing Clubs', so I DO KNOW what I'm talking about. First of all, NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 21 IS ADMITTED (clubs do check id)!, no drugs are tolerated........no exceptions!, there is no prostitution!, safe sex is highly encouraged, NO MEANS NO...ie...club owners and managers DO NOT tolerate anyone getting out of line what so ever!, and many club members are good and decent people with the best of morals. In short, no one is making these religous people go to the clubs, so, they need to quit trying to close the Adult Private Social Clubs. What goes on inside of these clubs is perfectly legal. We're not imposing our way of life on ANYONE, so others need to quit imposing their way of life on all of us!

You're the one posting urban legends about high-priced callgirls at GOP conventions, and I'm the one that's profoundly naive? I've got exactly as much evidence to back up my claim as you have for yours: meaning, arm-chair speculation with a healthy helping of anecdotal evidence from tabloid newspapers.

I believe that the attempt by third parties to interfere with the choices of rational, intelligent, mutually consenting adults is simply ignorant, and definitively non-conservative.

James 5:19 "My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."

Obeying the teachings of God in the Bible isn't non-conservative.

I feel sorry for women who need to find their pleasure and self worth through their sexual talents or sexual "openness"

Sure- she is probably embraced by her swinger friends right now... she thinks she is "moral"

but one day- this will all fade, reality will set in...

I love the- I don't break the law- therefore I am moral...LOL!

I was once devastated at the thought of entering the single world again... whow could I possibly find a man "WILLING" to wait for marriage?

then I realized that I don't want a man "WILLING" to wait... I want a man that "WANTS" to wait for marriage...

I have no desire to shut down her club...nor make it illegal....

I am not nearly as INTOLERANT as she thinks....

I merely want to see people be honest.

Honest about how rules and morality are there to protect us, and how they DO protect us... We are not out to DESTROY fun... we actually want people to HAVE FUN and ENJOY LIFE...

hard to enjoy life when children are the collateral damage of such "Law abiding fun."

Telling people that they are going to hell if they don't stop their "evil" does not exactly mean you deserve a spot in heaven.

Since you want to debate it from a theological viewpoint...

"We" aren't making that decision. That judgment has already been made.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not 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.

This is about as plain as it gets. Adulterers shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Not because I said so, but because He said so. If you don't like it, don't blame me. I'm just the messenger. If you want to get it changed, you'll have to talk to Him.

Besides, there is only one entity fit to judge people in that since, and it sure ain't of human composition

Quite right. Fortunately, that Entity's judgment has been written down for our reference.

I'm sure all of those pics are from swing club attendees.

It's actually next to impossible to get AIDS without sharing needles or having repeated unprotected anal sex; the roster of people who have AIDS who didn't engage in either of the latter is vanishingly small, and of that small group, quite a few of them are probably lying anyway.

However, you've seen a fascinating alliance between the far Left (gay activists attempting to portray the disease as EVERYONE'S disease) and the Religious Right (attempting to scare everyone out of anything but sex with your wife) to distort the truth on this matter.

But, no, in Alabama in the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan served as a perfect fit for the liberal coalition, because well, prohibition, which was the main moral cause of the time [...] Also, many of the "moral perversions" that the Klan of the 20s railed against were primarily practiced (outside of Mobile) by those who were of a higher social class, in other words, the "moral revolt" of the 1920s was also a class revolt

Heh, neat. Thanks for the history lesson.
