Everybody should be celibate. If Jesus is all that we Christians really need, then surely none of us need spouses.

You know, some of us would kill to get laid even yearly, and here you are trying to say we should be celibate. Paul said the same thing, and a lot of people think he had issues.
Sorry, not buying it.
"We DO need spouses...and don't call me Shirley."
(aside from the insanity of "deciding" not to have a sex drive)
We do need spouses, and we need more then JUST spouses. People have a built-in need to spend some time with different people of all ages and types. This 'Abandon The Rest Of The World, I Gots Me Some Jesus' stuff is just about the height of delusion. Especially when the whole concept of jesus is just that, a concept. To honestly think that a normal (and that is the key part of this) person wouldn’t need anything else is ludicrous. I love my wife, but I need more people in my life then her. She doesn’t like to spend a day fishing, or shooting, or riding dirt bikes. So there are people that I contact for just such things, or I go it alone. There are certain movies I am compelled to see in the theatres, some I go to with the wife, or a friend or a brother, depending on the content of the movie. But to think I would always, and only have no one but myself to keep me company, that isn’t healthy at all.
Just keep in mind that Cho Seung-Hui was called a loner’.
I think to get rid of all the fundy need to procreate with eachother and devote themselves entirely to Jesus, we're gonna have our schedules full.
Everyone, go out, buy one of these and get to work ensuring no fundy cheats on Pimp'n Jesus!
Fine, that´s the quickest way to depopulate the world. And for that matter, we should all too have a virgin mother and God as our biological father. Now, serious, have you stopped and thought!!?
Oh Jesus! Oh God! Ooh, yes Jesus! OH LORD! OH JESUS!! YES JESUS! OOOOH GOD, OH JESUS YESSSS!!! Mmmm, that was so good!
Wow, I guess all anyone really needs is Jesus.
An intersting new take on the Bible's "be fruitful and multiply" passage.
Don't get me wrong, Merciel, I think you and your church friends SHOULD be celibate. Blaze a shining path for us sinners to follow... even if not very closely.
But if you're celibate, won't God get all angry that you weren't fruitful and didn't multiply?
Yeah, you're stuffed both ways. Just go out and have some good sex already. It might show you how dreary and useless your brand of religion is.
And then they find homosexuals abhoring because --this is their reasoning-- if everybody was a homosexual, the human race would die out in one generation.
So, if I understand Merciel clearly, if everybody was a genuine christian, the human race would die out in one generation as well.
Oh and by the way, if you go back to the first page you'll see that the poster is actually homosexual and living as married with his/her partner. So, yeah, sarcasm.
Fanatic fundamentalists deciding of their own free will to remove themselves from the gene pool? I think we should encourage this line of thought.
Unfortunately, UberLutheran took the quote out of context, then misquoted this "Merciel". First, the context was a thread on "Should Homosexuals Remain Chaste?"
Second, the full post from Merciel was "Everybody should be celibate. If Jesus is all that we Christians really need, then surely none of us need spouses. It's like with a car. If I have one car and need only one car, it'd be rather gluttonous to have two. In any case, I think anybody who thinks that celibacy is so easy should take that vow themselves."
I.e., "Merciel" is saying that people who are opining that homosexuals should be celibate are a bit looney, not that all Christians should remain celibate.
Troll.
Is there some way to suggest that this deliberate mangling the words of someone who is actually trying to be reasonable off the site?
Can I modify that to "All fundies should be celibate" ?
As a species, they'd be extinct in just 40 or 50 years.
"Everybody should be celibate. If Jesus is all that we Christians really need, then surely none of us need spouses."
For once, I completely agree with a fundie. You stay single, Merciel. For the sake of the rest of normal, sane humanity.
...meanwhile, we non -Christians shall continue to be celibate. Sell-a-bit here, sell-a-bit there. X3
Thank you, I'm here all week. Try the can-a-peas!
Hence monks.
Hence (paraphrased) "Leave your wife, your children, your family and your king and follow the lord" verses.
Yet more contradictions inherent in your faith.
Tch...Oh, old Giga Guess, read the source material.
*Facepalm at self*
Yeah, read the source, people. This is quote mined. The full quote is thus:
Everybody should be celibate. If Jesus is all that we Christians really need, then surely none of us need spouses. It's like with a car. If I have one car and need only one car, it'd be rather gluttonous to have two. In any case, I think anybody who thinks that celibacy is so easy should take that vow themselves.
It is clear, CLEAR sarcasm against people who think that homosexuals should just give up sex. Because, you know, it's just that easy.
You know, that's actually a good idea. Then the rest of humanity won't have to put up with fundies anymore.
EDIT: Oh wait, it's just sarcasm? Heh. Well, maybe some fundie will still take it seriously. We can only hope.
Stop me if you heard this one!
The Pope has come across some rare scrolls and says he wants to be alone while he reads them. After a while, a scream is heard from the Pope's office. His guards rush in to find His Holiness slumped over his desk and blubbering. When asked what's wrong, the Pope sobs "Celebrate! It said we were to celebrate!"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
