It’s still a sin, it should be unlawful. Not actively looked for, but if caught in the act or are bragging about it, yup, take ‘em in. It’s like bragging about child sex or robbing someone.

The whole problem with this began when the sodomy laws started being repealed. It was the slippery slope (no pun intended) that started to legitimize the behavior, and also was the beginning of legitimizing others (transgenderism, beastiality, pedophilia and NAMBLA, getting rid of age of consent laws).

Go the wrong way up a one-way street, and you’re in for some bad sh*t.

And as far as gay people looking to David and Jonathan or Jesus and John, to somehow look at these heterosexual friendships and pervertedly interpret them to support HOMOSEXUAL relationships, they are warped.

I have very strong friendships with a few other guys, and I have NEVER, NEVER wanted anything to do with them sexually. I would bop them on the nose if they tried that, I don’t care how good of a friend they are. To say that these heterosexual friendships ought to inspire gays and same-sex couples is just reaching for something that isn’t there. You have to be perverted and twisted to read that into these stories.

Homosexuality is the same thing it’s always been, a psychological disorder, triggered in early childhood development and/or a product of molestation, indoctrination, etc.

The attempted mainstreaming of a psychological disorder is a sin.

It is a health hazard. Why should my tax dollars be spent on it?

Well, in any case, it’s kinda gross. You gotta at least admit that. The health problems are still there for people. The fact that part of the body is not designed for it, and that the anus can lose its ability to close properly after a lot of use, is still also a real issue.

From a hygenic point of view it’s not a good thing to do. And I think God would have an issue if that’s all you want to do to deliberately avoid having kids. All you’re looking for is any kind of hole then.

Bottom line, you’re not really with your mate the way God designed her. She’s got something designed for you, and that is not the spot I’m talking about.

Plus, you can only even hope to say this could be valid for married couples. Unmarried men and women doing this are fornicators.

It's so absurd, and so very sad, to think that man has any right whatsoever to declare acceptable that which God has described as not only sin, but an abomination.

As I said on another thread, G-d, and His Word, are constants, not variables, and any who decide otherwise know neither G-d, nor His Word, not matter what they profess publicly before men...

I totally Agree!

Sodomy is a vile disgusting act based on lust of the flesh domination and peversion...

It is a way to harbor many diseases.....

It is still a sin, but should not be unlawful. The government has no constitutional right to invade the privacy of consenting adults so long as no one’s rights are violated.

For someone with your screen name, that's an awfully strange point.

First, a point of history. Did or did not the Founding Fathers allow anti-sodomy laws on the books? Second a point of American Law. Where do human rights come from? (hint...it's in the Declaration of Independence)

Now it is probably not prudent or even Constitutional for people to go busting into bedrooms to enforce compliance, that I grant you. But as sodomy is against the natural law and has been considered so since time immemorial, there is nothing wrong with a society declaring it criminal and prosecuting it when discovered.

"I respectfully disagree. Why? That way when people especially homosexuals molest children......"

Please reread my posts. I specifically limited the right to privacy, excluding any situation when anyone's rights are violated. A child's rights to not be molested fall within this exclusion.

However, to take your argument to an extreme, would you be in favor of all aspects of Sharia law be enforceable by the courts if a significant number of citizens are practicing Muslims?

I fully understand and appreciate your arguments. I am not advocating sodomy, as I stated it is a sin, but I was citing constitutional precedent. I believe that you would be one of those activist judges you so strongly dislike because what you are advocating is using the power of law to support or advance your views of morality.

In fact, I think the opposite is the case. The Constitution and the Declaration that ideologically frames it are based squarely on Natural Law. Governments are instituted among men to protect the rights which are endowed by the Creator.

Protect rights. Rights that were already granted by God. God granted no right to sodomy--rather the contrary actually--therefore it is no infringement of rights to ban it. What did it used to be called?--"the crime against nature"--because it was held to be against the natural law.

This is not theology. This is the law. This is the government the Founders set up. Now if the SCOTUS in Griswold or anyone else wants to throw out the concept of Natural Law, it is they I'm afraid who are being the activists.

Agreed. But we lost the Hispanic, the young, African-American and unmarried women vote— if we throw out the fornicators what are we left with? A portion of Utah?

That wasn’t the question I was answering. You’re venturing out of the scope.

Go the wrong way up a one-way street, and you’re in for some bad sh*t.

"Uhhhh well Ralph, maybe you misunderstood where I was lookin' when I was lookin' your way?"

"Nooooo I didn't misunderstand ANYthing Norton, now admit it: you've been wanting to _____ me in the ass, now haven't you?"

"Oh no, not me Ralph, I never dreamed of it!"

"Of course you didn't Norton, you didn't HAVE to dream about it, because you've been THINKIN' about it while you've been WIDE AWAKE, now isn't that true?!?"

"Uhhh Ralph, this is gettin' real weird ya know, how about we go get Alice and Trixie and go have a pizza, ok?"

You have company, sort of.

The only sexual acts per se condemned as abhominations under the Old Covenant law are bestiality and male-on-male anal sodomy. Other sexual acts are sinful in the context of who engages in them: incest, adultery and fornication.

Medieval Anglo-Saxon penitentials and Orthodox penitentials do not include penances for any sexual act within the context of marriage, and penance lesbian behavior and oral sex between men (called ‘oral sodomy’ by the Latins) either as fornication or mastrubation, rather than as a sin-unto-death (with the canonical penance being excommunication with communion on the deathbed only) as male-on-male anal sodomy is penanced.

The sodomy that is so offensive to God are acts committed between people of the same sex - be it two men or two women.

If you are concerned about what God has to say about sex within marriage, He tells us that "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled" (Hebrews 13:4). This would be marriage according to God's definition, not man's.
