  1. Word coming in over here in Orange County that Johnny Stanton tore his ACL playing for Santa Margarita on Friday night. Crazy part--he kept playing the rest of the game. Kid will be a stud for Nebraska, that is crazy toughness......injured the ACL in the first series of the game....

  2. I bought some tickets via stub hub and the section I am in is called Bruin reserved 21. Does anyone know if the name is literal and there are only suppossed to be UCLA fans in this section or am I fine to wear cornhead, burkhead jersey and all

     

    Please don't wear the cornhead. I'm begging you.

    I love the cornhead!

  6. All that being said, I find Brown and the whole Bible's concept of sin ridiculous. I don't agree with it and think if a god actually judges people based off of some of these insane rules that are only subject to assumption by interpretation because we have to rely on copies of copies of translations of copies of terribly contradictory pages (compiled by humans)...then he's more fallible and unloving than many think.

    Let people love who they want to love and allow them to have the inalienable human rights we all deserve. It's really not that hard.

     

    I agree. I find it absurd to rely on a convoluted interpretation of the bible to distinguish whether or not something is moral. A similar type of logic was used to justify discrimination against African Americans. I implore anyone who believes that homosexuality is a distasteful sin to speak to some homosexuals and reason it out yourself whether or not it is a sin. Based on my experience, the only way to assert that homosexuality is a sin is to argue that heterosexuality is a sin as well.

    If you read my long post up about 10 responses or so you will notice i point this out.....Adam and Eve only became aware of their sexuality after sin entered the world. and there is only one circumstance by which sexual impulse can be acted upon and is not a sin. However, even hetro-sexuals commit sins of sexual immorality on a daily basis through lust and the such.

     

    So god creates some people who are attracted to the opposite sex which is construed as love but he creates various people that are attracted to the same sex and their attraction is considered sinful?

     

    Not all herto-sexual acts are unsinful. My point is lust or the desire to act on sexual impulse is a sin.....except in one scenario with your wife for the purpose of pro-creation and as a fun recreational activity to strengthen the unwavering bonds of marriage. I equate homo-sexuality and the acts commited to be exactly the same as fornication between hetro couples.

  8. Hey guys long time no talk, I have been following this story for a while and have a few opinions I hope can bring some active, appropriate, and good-natured discussion to this board and does not simply spur a fingerpointing internet session.

     

    In the business of full-disclosure I am currently studying at an undergraduate level Theological studies as a major from a local Concordia University. I also am a strong LCMS Lutheran (something that is extremely secondary to my being a christian) which may give you some more understanding of my opinions and beliefs. Eventually i want to become a pastor and eventually at some point teach theology on the University or High School Level.

     

    Now to my opinions. Simply put I do view the practice of homosexuality of a sin. However, by no means do we as christians have some sort of mighty pulpit to attack the integrity or nature of human rights based on a single act. To put it in perspective as a hetro-sexual male I would say 100% of hetro-males commit the same "level" of sin (despite there being no real levels of sin and all are equally damming) everytime we have seen a picture of Kate Upton, Brooklyn Decker and the like. I doubt any of you have seen a picture of these aforementioned women and internally or externally in no way had some sort of lust for them. It is not my place as a sinner to damm anyone to hell for their actions on Earth. At the same time we are supposed to point out (lovingly) and rebuke and correct in righteousness. Much like if you found out your buddy was cheating on his wife or had slipped into some drug related addictions you would hopefully out of love discuss the transgressions with him and try to correct the behavior. Additionally God does not hate gays anymore then he hates the sins we commit on a daily level. This is not Dante's Inferno with levels of hell. We are all sinners a dammed to hell, except for the saving grace of Jesus Christ for all people who have faith (sounds like a tebow press conference I know just bare with me).

     

    For Coach Brown to use a public university as a pulpit for anti-gay speech is not the smartest decision he has made and he admits that. However, to fire him for a personal belief system does not make much sense either. From everything I have read(including comments by Muslim Admir Abdullah) Coach Brown is very respectful to the players and exemplifies his vocations as a football coach and a Christian well. Now does Coach Brown sometimes become to expressive with his faith in the public sector when representing the university....perhaps. that is a subjective opinion that will be different among all of us and may not contain a necessary right or wrong answer.

     

    The point is, Coach Brown and his faith does not hate gay people anymore then it hates the sins every human commits on a daily, hourly, or momentarily often basis. However, because of the free speech and lack of government sponsored religion (things I both advocate and respect) he is walking a fine line of not respecting the latter by his expression of the former. That fine line is subjective in nature and contains a large amount of gray area. What I hope all of us can remember is that the loving respect of both gays and their beliefs, what UNL stands for, and what Coach Brown stands for is able to co-exist as long as each of the respective parties respects the other as outlined by our great constitution. For it is by loving respect that the message of both Coach Brown and what the university stands for is most adequately represented.

     

    I hope this cleared somethings up and allowed my opinion to be shown in a non-wavering, yet non-pejorative manner

     

    I respect a lot of what you've written here and can agree with much of it. I don't think Coach Brown hates gay people either. I find him to be a very charitable, loving individual and I respect him on that basis.

     

    However.

     

    The most insidious aspect of the Christian faith (at least as it pertains to this topic) is that it views homosexuality as a sin. Homosexuality is not a sin. Homosexuals are not sinners. Neither are heterosexuals who find the opposite sex attractive. Human kind has evolved the sensation of lust for a very good biological reason: reproduction. It's also completely natural for a certain segment of the population to be attracted to the same sex. This is found in our species, our closest cousins, and other animals as well. The idea that a gay person should look at him or herself as sinful or shameful is a hideous idea.

     

    Homosexuals should be proud of who they are. I don't care that Ron Brown believes in a storybook that tells him different. He's free to believe that nonsense in Leviticus if he wants to, but what I will not stand for is a society in which people are taught that they are born guilty and should fight and/or be ashamed of themselves simply because they happen to like other men (or women). Its doubly worse if Brown wants to use his position as coach to fight against civil liberties. This is a line he should not flirt with. You're either a coach or a preacher. Decide which you want to be, and do that. But don't damage the image of the University of Nebraska.

     

    This would be then the fundamentally difference in our collective paradigm where the conflict comes from. I would say that it is a sin and I am unwavering from that. However, I respect your opinion and hope we can ultimately agree to disagree.....good thought out response btw i rec'd you for that.
