Pro-guns?

I have the right to bear arms, if that's what you mean. Then yes, I am for the legalization of guns. I do like the idea of gun registration and such. However, I don't want it to be excruciating to get a gun (for protection, hunting, or otherwise).

You take a ridiculous amount of time to answer questions and it seems like each response you're getting angrier and angrier. It's a bit scary! Anyway I was wondering what your opinion is on the overwhelming support for Frank Ocean when he recently came out. I know what your "opinion" will be but I'd love to know what you actually felt in your heart when you heard it. I know you're all like "We love everyone!!!" but secretly, when you find out someone is gay you feel a little disgusted hey. lol

Yea, sorry, I lead a very busy life.  Right now this blog is one of the lowest things in my priority order (understandably so).  I honestly don't have time to answer all or even most of the questions.  I wish there weren't so many and I had unlimited time--yes.  This isn't the perfect world, though, and I have real obligations.  I love discussing the issues with people, but sometimes it gets crowded out of my day.  I hope you and everybody else can understand that.

I am sorry if I or anybody else on this blog has scared you.  That's the least of our intentions.  I hope you will learn to be less easily scared moving on! :)

You seem to think that I have to opinions? I'm not sure where you're getting this from.  Regardless, if I were doing this for approval and not because it was truly my opinion, then I can assure you I wouldn't be a conservative!  My views aren't always the most popular and many people hate me for them.  Anyways, I'm rambling here :/

Uh, back to Frank Ocean! Um, he's embracing his sin--along with pretty much every other secular artist out there.  I think it's immoral.  People should be ashamed of their sins, not embrace and celebrate them.  I am disgusted because he's celebrating sin calling bad good, not so much because this particular sin was one of homosexuality.  I feel the same way about everyone else living in sexual sin be it homosexual or heterosexual.

That was my one and only opinion.  Frankly, though, it's about pretty much every artist, not just him.  We are called as Christians to love everybody, not what everybody does.

Would you argue that humans are, by nature, evil creatures?

No. I would argue that humans are intrinsically good, but has much tendency to do evil.

What are your thoughts on the word "bastard" and illegitimate children? What can they do to amend their "sinful" situation, one that they never had any choice in? Does it matter? Does it affect their opportunities in life? Does it affect their relationship the Christian god? What should they think of their parents, should they judge them?

I don't like when people use terms like "bastard" etc. even though they are better than some other names those kids are called. It can still be hurtful to the people being called that. 

What can they do to amend their sinful situation. 

Firstly, the child is not responsible for their parents decisions and mistakes. It was not their fault, and they didn't ask for it at all. They weren't even conceived when the action happened! The child doesn't have to go through this whole ritual of cleansing to become "sinless". That's just silly. It's not even their sin. They should ask God for forgiveness and cleansing of other sins in their life, and for God to help them to forgive and love their parents if there are strained relationships because of the issue. 

Does it affect their opportunities in life?

It shouldn't, but sadly I think it does a bit. Bullies at school probably attack that a bit. It's something for the bullies to attach themselves to. In this day and age, most employers don't really care if you grew up in a single parent, both parent, unmarried, etc. household, but some still do. It could also effect other areas of their growing up. ie are both of the parents still around? Is this child being passed around from family member to family member? Is this child growing up in a healthy environment? Of course, all of these factors can affect legitimate children as well as illegitimate children.

Does it affect their relationship with the Christian God?

Not at all. God still loves that child no matter where it came from. If you look at the line of Jesus, there are some pretty raunchy people in there! There are prostitutes and adulterers. But God still chose those people to bear the line of Jesus! Side note: isn't that awesome that God uses poor, lawbreaking, and even some evil people to bring forth His only begotten Son to earth? I think it's amazing that God doesn't only use rich, healthy people who have it all together. His love is beyond that :)

What should they think of their parents?

Honestly, this depends on the parents. Either way, the child should always try his/her hardest to love and respect the parents even if they don't deserve it. I know it's easier said than done, but they are the parents no matter what. The child should steer away from judging, but instead love. 

I hope this answers your questions! Good questions, by the way :)

What are your thoughts on male and female circumcision?

It was a cultural law for the Jews to adhere to. We are not bound to male circumcision, but for some, it's tradition. It really has no medical risks other than infection. As for female circumcision, I really don't know much about it. I mean, if it's extremely harmful, then I would be against it, but I can't form an opinion on something I know nothing about.
