If you want the religious view, you have to accept the religious definition of natural.
You can't just pick and choose what you want to believe when it takes the message out of context.
Does nobody speak English anymore?
Let's play a simple game:
To lay
transitive verb
To lie
intransitive verb.
Let's make two pairs, shall we? One takes a direct object, and the other does not.
{Assumes Rolf harris Aussie accent:} "Cin you giss which one is which yit?"
(Translation: "Can you guess which one is which yet?" )

to lay with - Sexual intercourse. A partner in sexual intercourse.
to lie with - have sexual intercourse with
besides - english is based in old english, where I could have said
"dyd yu ley wyth teu wemon?" and it would be correct.
So please, remove the bug from your anus - This is an internet forum - I rarely EVER see people use correct modern grammar, spelling, syntax or any other "correctness" in the written text.
Edit - On a side note - We are talking about sleeping with two women and you are worried about correct word usage? Male or female... where the hell is your head?

Originally posted by TetsujinSo far as you interpret it. There are no specifics in the bible other than that a man should not sleep with a man. If I remember correctly, it even says something about it being a waste of "seed."
Well then it's really not much of a discussion.
The bible just intends us to have straight sex.
I am seeking opinions of Christians - note the S on the end. You are not the only one, nor are you the authority on the Christian religion or the bible.

Originally posted by KnightWulfeThat's perfectly fine. But, the others here haven't much yet, and then when they do we'll have this dragged into a literal/"fundamentalist" versus modern/"liberal" interpretation struggle. If only becuase no one person has the authority to tell everyone else how to interpret the bible, hence the use of forums and open discussion about it.

So... yeah I guess I'm done here.
