Welcome to Christianity!      I am not yet sure if I am comfortable here in Christianity. I mean I would go even just for foreplay and this would be enough as a fore-step!  But it is hard sometimes not to desires a woman in mind! Well, we will see...

  Ok, you got me lost here. You´re saying   "The Law was to continue your brother´s line."   and I understand it as "inseminate your brother´s wife" not as "do what a husband should, just have sex and maybe something will come out of it" - you don´t but that´s probably because you have the Grace of God and are able to read between the lines    I can´t say I´m not influenced by Catholic interpretations as they were the only ones I heard. Still, reading this passage today and being strongly against Catholicism as a religion, I did my best to try and find a different interpretation that would prove these nasty, backward idea wrong. But I can´t agree to something illogical, that´s not me.   You´re saying I can´t prove God being against contraception (although this is how I see the onan story), well neither can you prove otherwise. And we´ve come to a standstill    So far all the fragments you quoted have not convinced me to change the interpretation of Onan´s story. If there are any other that state "be free to use contraception, God will not kill you" please provide them to me, I´ll gladly read them  Oh, you can´t? Well, that´s what I thought      I think its time for me to admit that I have to give up. My point is not to win with you. My point was to deomstrate God´s will over Onan, not over sex generally. I did all my best, I think.   |  |

   Silly you, I am not inviting you to Christianity. You dont need Christianity - you need God. |  |

I did all my best, I think.     No, i have to give up! I do! I was getting tired and felt like running in circles. Thank you for your attempts, really appreciate the quotes you took time to paste. You know me, i was arguing just out of boredom  And, yes, you were grand in supporting your point.  |  |

Aren´t there any other punishment? Because it´s a very low probability thing (200 to 300 people a year in Europe are stuck down by lightening that something like one in a million chance). |  |

hit by a coconut... I think coconuts kill more people then lightning.    Errr not where I live   I was very close to getting struck by lightning once, picking strawberries - it hit the electricity pole beside me and threw me across the field!  So there is a chance
