Cruel Joke or Medical Anomaly? Proponents of same-sex "marriage" owe us an answer

The Physiology of Mankind

"Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell ya, brother, you can't have one without the other." Neither can you have a marrriage without a man and a woman, unless you’re the Massacheutts Supreme Court–to whom I ask the following question.

Why is one hundred percent of the homosexual population physiologically heterosexual?

When I asked that question before a group of university students, one said the question contained a presumption–that homosexuals were physiologically heterosexual. I am always open to differing views, yet he offered no explanation. In postmodernism one need not waste syllables buttressing one’s views—verbalizing a belief automatically makes it factual. Hubert Humphrey said, "The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously." The student reminded me of a man who, on another occasion, steadfastly disagreed when I said that at conception the man determines the sex of the child. "Every man has a right to his own opinion, but he does not have a right to his own set of facts."

My statement regarding human physiology is neither sexist nor politically motivated. It is a fact.

Look at this statement from two perspectives—first, a theological perspective and second, a medical perspective.

If in fact God creates some people as homosexuals, we must conclude that God has played a cruel joke on them. He has engineered their minds and emotions for attraction to the same-sex and yet created their physiology to be in direct opposition to that attraction. Such an act would be malicious. Only a sadistic god would conceive and conduct such a horrific deed.

Look at the statement from a medical perspective! If homosexuality is a naturally occurring phenomenon—a legitimate alternative to Mankind’s expression of sexuality, we would have to conclude that homosexuals bear severe physiological anomalies.

I am aware the previous conclusion may infuriate some; few things anger people more than uttering a logical thought. Truth has always angered people—which is why some wise sage cautioned, "Tell the truth and run!"

But alas I do not believe the conclusion because I do not believe homosexuality to be moral.

If for no other reason, homosexuality is illegitimate in that it is anatomically unsuitable.

The Ingenuity of the Physical Body

Regardless from where you believe Mankind originated, we must agree that the human body is the work of a genius. How do we account for tear ducts that automatically flush the eye when a microscopic grain of sand invades them? Who can fathom how an arm or leg produces chill bumps, which in turn raises the hairs on those limbs in order to reduce the amount of body heat being expended by a cold wind?

These mysteries of the human body include libido. When sexually aroused, the woman’s body changes through a series of preparations. Her vagina lengthens for a distinct reason. Her body, equipped with Bartholin’s gland, produces lubrication for a distinct reason. More intricate than any scientific invention ever conceived or constructed, the outer third of her vagina swells with blood for a distinct reason. The Psalmist was correct--we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14)

But these incredible workings lead us to another question which refuses to be ignored--why would such physiological changes occur in homosexual women when the changes do nothing to assist sexual interaction?

One cannot simply dismiss the question as irrelevant. If God makes no mistakes, and He does not, what accounts for this dichotomy among homosexuals? If homosexuality is "natural" why the inappropriate and unnecessary body changes?

No legitimate answer exists. God desires each of us to become personally what He has created us to be physiologically, biologically and anatomically.

The Universality of Sin

The answer to why homosexuality exists is sin—a universal condition unconfined to homosexuals; one hundred percent of the world’s population are sinners. "…for all have sinned and come short of God’s glory." (Romans 3:23)

And the answer to sin is Jesus Christ who, by the way, performed His first miracle during the marriage of a man and a woman.

The proponents of homosexual "marriage" appear to have all the answers. What say ye? Is this phenomenon a cruel joke or a medical anomaly?

[scripter]

I forgot something here:

I don't want to start a 'parsing words' arguement here, it is to 'Clinton' for my taste.

Then don't even give a hint of that by putting words in the mouths of doctors.

[scripter]

Did you read the article last week about the guy who called himself a "lesbian" trapped in a male body? Humorous piece.

No - I missed that one. There have been too many lately that I can't even take the time to read some, so I do what I can. If you have a link please pass it alone.

[scripter]

I read some of these comments and wonder if I'm in another world.

Well, you're in it, but not of it. :-)

[Paul C. Jesup]

Then don't even give a hint of that by putting words in the mouths of doctors.

I didn't, I took more from reading the last part of the sentence, while you took more reading the first part. One could consider that sentence to be and oxymoron.

[Paul C. Jesup]

I'll remember that.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Okay, what is your opinion of the Dead Sea Scolls.

[Paul C. Jesup]

(Thousands have left the homosexual lifestyle)

Are you going to provide names, or do we have to take your word for it.

[Paul C. Jesup]

It appears you're thinking the recent articles I referenced go back to the beginning of homosexuality. Sheesh, you're either reading something that isn't there or you're not reading what is. It's obvious you're not really reading or probably not even clicking any of the links I'm providing. Just click here and read and read and read.

Are you saying that there was not homosexuality during the time of Ancient Greece.

If so, I guess I am going to have to dig out my history books to refute you.

[little jeremiah]

Are you saying that there was not homosexuality during the time of Ancient Greece.

A. Just so as not to embarrass yourself any further, it might benefit you to click on scripter's links and read, so that you come to the debate armed with facts. It would make it more fun for everyone.

B. Alexander the Great was a homosexual, in fact, a pederast (as were most Greek homosexuals) and among his other exploits, kept a "stable" of castrated youths for his pleasure. Does this make you happy? Should we follow his example?

[Paul C. Jesup]

No. Does it make you happy?

Of course we most remember that Alexander was one of the most ambitious men in history when it came to warfare. He was probably not that pleasant a person. He was unique, by every standard, meaning he could never be considered the norm.

[little jeremiah]

No, it makes me sad that he caused such suffering to others. In certain times in ancient Greece, parents had to have servants or slaves accompany their sons to school, so that pederasts would not accost the children. That was common enough to be a problem.

Another interesting fact is that many Nazis were homosexual, and oddly enough, very militaristic and sadistic. In Chinese Taoism it is accepted that men having sex with each other causes psychological disturbances up to psychosis, including violence and rage. There is a connection between same sex acts and emotional and mental distrubances.

Don't be to sad, without the actions in war that Alexander took, the modern world, or even for the matter the world Jesus lived in 2000 years would not exist.

[little jeremiah]

No, I consider that the world would be a better place had old Alex not graced it with his presence. He was a vicious, evil sadistic pedophile.

[Paul C. Jesup]

No, I consider that the world would be a better place had old Alex not graced it with his presence. He was a vicious, evil sadistic pedophile.

Without Alexander, there is no telling how long the humanity would have remained for the most part in a city-state evironment. By conquering some many place, Alexander brought them to gather in trade and culture.

Alexander wrote the book on taking over the world.

By the way, what is your opinion of Leonard Da Vinci?

[Revelation 911]

You never read the Old Testament have you.........Now on the other hand (in the New Testament) Jesus, not God, is really nice person, but God is another story.

Likewise, you missed the NT class LOL - How can a God who offers His only Son as a sinless sacrifice for the sin of mankind to afford us an opportunity at a closer relationship with Him considered anything but loving.

Im not surprised though, tough love at times is hard to understand for todays "dont spank the naughty kid" crowd.

Job 1:20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." 22 In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

You however have - your faith is weak

It begs the question - what did God do to upset you so ?

[Revelation 911]

Robbie S.:The story of the Bible is that of a progressive revelation of God, culminiating in his incarnation in Jesus.

PCJ: The NT yes. The OT no. The OT is a story unto itself.

hmmm looks like you havent read that either - you guys nevermind all that prophecy stuff in the OT LOL

Rev rolling his eyes at the absurdity

[Amelia]

A belief in theism isn't required to enable a thinking man to come to the conclusion that homosexuality is a willing perversion of the physiologically heterosexual (binary) nature of humankind. Simple common sense is more than sufficient.

I'd bet that you don't know any homosexuals personally.

I don't think homosexuality is right, and it certainly doesn't make biological or evolutionary sense (which is probably why all the major religions of the world oppose it), but I tend not to believe that most homosexuals choose to be that way.

They might possibly in some urban areas like San Francisco, but here in the Bible belt where it is considered perverted and disgusting, not sophisticated or chic? Why would anyone purposely choose homosexuality here?

[xzins]

Good. It's true.

It's basically a free speech zone with the exceptions that FR has itself listed: Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

I wasn't especially thrilled with adam taking the thread in the direction of an atheism discussion, but it happened, and it's what free speech looks like.

[RobbyS]

My "opinion" is pretty much what I have read, which is that they were the work of the Essenes and tell us a lot about a sect about which we used to know little.
