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.

The binary scheme is required for reproduction of the species. Period. If it's so simple, please explain the logical steps which show that man should only do things which are necessary for the reproduction and continuation of the species, and nothing else? How many things do you do, strictly for your own pleasure, that have nothing to do with that lofty purpose? Why are they any less a perversion of your purpose here on earth?

You're engaging in a series of Red Herring fallacies. First you shift the focus of the argument onto the author's comments on God. Now, you're trying to draw an equivalence to the psychological use of sexual organs for something other than pure reproduction.

I will grant your point. Using sexual organs for something other than pure reproduction is psychological and behavioral, not hard-wired biology.

Therefore, homosexuality is a purely psychological/behavioral act because it is a 100% use of the sexual organs for something other than for what they are biologically designed.

The next logical step in your reasoning is to conclude that homosexuality is a deviant psychological phenomena because it is outside the mainstream of human sexual activity.

The final step in your reasoning is to then conclude that it is not in the interest of society to promote, encourage or support psychologically deviant behavior.

Congratulations. You've just argued yourself into agreement with pretty much everyone else on this board.
