mikelz777 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 Hell, I'd ask them to point out in the scripture where it says homosexuality is a sin. Being a homosexual is not a sin, acting on one's homosexual desires is. Scripture is pretty clear on that. If your threshhold of truth requires a direct declaration using the words "homosexuality is a sin", then no, it is not in Scripture. Quote
mikelz777 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 but is being gay any more harmful than being married (man-woman i mean) and not having children? what's the standard argument at this point? Here's a question I've always wanted to ask these zealots: which is worse: a gay couple who adopted two Guatemalen (sp?) girls and bring them to church and Sunday School every Sunday? Or a hetero couple who don't attend church except maybe Easter and Christmas? (The first situation is a reality, BTW. I'm sure the second one is as well; but the couple in the first situation and their kids are dear friends of mine) Just to take this from a philosophical angle, if both situations are inherently problematic according to the common rules or guidelines on which they are being judged, does it really matter which is worse? If so, then does that justify or make right the situation that is judged less problematic? Quote

Noj Posted December 14, 2006 Report Posted December 14, 2006 I thought it was stupid enough that some people actually think sexual orientation is some sort of choice. Attributing it to diet plummets it to a new depth of idiocy. Quote

Attributing it to diet plummets it to a new depth of idiocy. Yeah, but you have to admit to a somewhat morbid curiosity as to how they will top this one. And trust me, my friend, they WILL eventually top it. Quote

Jazzmoose Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Of course, the real question is what about soy drinkers going to church in Guatemala, but everyone avoids that one... Quote

porcy62 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) According to the latest scientific researches, eating sushi in a London restaurant with former KGB agents is more harmful...but at least you're not a dead gay. Sorry for the bad taste, I couldn't resist, in front of idiocy, I became idiot. That's really harmful Edited December 15, 2006 by porcy62 Quote
