i will add to the days of the week speal:
the day of the Resurrection is the entire idea behind Christianity. it stands to reason that a day labeled for such would become the day of recognition of God to Christians.
"Love for instance. No purpose other than making you feel all warm and fuzzy. We should ban love."
three things.
1: love has a use, it provides a bond that is needed to be mentally healthy. love does not have to be sexual in nature. however, an intimate reltaionship with a member of the opposite sex is required in a healthy adult's life.
2: love or not, we are talking about marriage and what role the government has in it. this being a politcal forum, and this thread being about homosexuality, we are talking a bit more broadly. the state's roll in our religious traditions.
3: love is not sex or a choice in bed mates. it is a bond between two people. the physical attraction happens between a healthy male and female.
"Other mutations should be bred out. Different hair colors, for dark hair is the natural color. White people are a mutation. Since the first people were of a darker complexion. "
you are wrong so many times here.
1: homosexuality is not a mutation, it is a choice. typically arived to by a disturbed mind.
2: i never said anything like "breed them out" i said "heal them." we have treated it in the past, it works, no evidence YET has come close to proving homosexuality is a healthy life choice. yet we have the evidence of psychology, biology, and even society to provide why it would be unhealthy.
3: thanks for making it sound so "Naziesque." it shows one more point where the liberals got to you. first "tolerance" now equating those that disagree with you as "nazis." quit drinking the water in your area.
4: evidence provides that man has existed in all colours all over the world. we also know there is no original single point of human life, thus your "white pigment is a mutation" bit is false. even then, however, if it were true, it would still be off the mark. homosexuality is not genetic.
"Whether this is with religion or with sex or with marriage, they amount to the same thing. If broken down to the barest practicality, the religion and marriage are unnecessary."
and if broken down to its barest practicality, homosexuality is unnecessary. however, religion and marriage do something that homosexuality does not. forms a focal point for a GROUP. thus our very existance in a societal format comes from them.
"The Christian church has mutated so many times that there is very little left of the original belief system."
tell that to God on your own time. and remind Jesus He's outdated next time you talk to Him. btw, they were the Ten Commandments. they STILL have effect in our laws "Thow shalt not kill" "Thou shalt not steal"
outdated, eh? sounds like the foundation of Law and Order to me.
"You mean back before we made advances in medicine that negate earlier studies. Btw, the world is flat and the center of the universe. Medicine and science progress, you need to move with it. Stop living in the past and wake up"
as i have stated before, and others before me as well: there is no evidence that overrides our previous convictions that homosexuality, as a way of life, is lead by a mentally unsound person. you can provide nothing to negate that because there is nothing that negates the truth. there is no "new evidence" aside from a few strongarms demanding the APA take it off the books. and that's called politics, not science.
you wake up.
"By your own mouth you have condemned heterosexual sex. That started AIDS. Great. Thanks."
no, by my mouth i have condemned having sex with monkeys and promiscuity. and no problem.
"PROMISCUITY. Who they had sex with is moot. The fact that it was done outside all conventional relationships is the root of the problem. Promiscuity is the sickness."
you have agreed with the fact that the homosexual community has a higher rate of AIDS. you defend this postition by stating "promiscuity is to blame." welp, that about sums up something i've felt, and apparently you do too: homosexual lifestyles leads to a life of empty relationships and promiscuious sex.
treat the promiscuity (homosexuality as has been observed earlier) and you treat all the other problems. what do you know? we agree, it's an illness.
"Through out our history we have been plagued by infidelity in marriage. And this was well before the "gay agenda"."
yup, one problem though, AFTER the gay agenda (dont know why you put quotes on it, two posts ago you agreed it exists and that it is wrong) we saw an upswing in divorce, STDS, and public displays of said infidelity.
before it was simply a hush hush bit, the divorce rate was minimal, and it wasnt as widespread.
"Nature predominately kills only for food. We do not. We destroy because we can. Nature does not."
number 3 on the liberal BS O-meter.
animals kill all the time for area, food competition, and mates. monkeys wage wars on other groups of monkeys. birds kill eggs simply to deny the competition a chance to take root. and this leads me back to what i KNOW you're going to try to bring up.
homosexual acts in monkeys are NOT a way of life for the individual monkey. the act of having sex AT another male monkey is to display dominance, not because "it feels good"
no "life partner" has ever come from even the most fidel of monkey breeds to their sex-partners.
"But in all honesty, I do not know that my feelings for my wife would be different if she were a man. I know that I would have missed out on 2 wonderful children, at least by the laws you wish to keep in place, but I know our love would endure all things."
loving a (same sex) best friend is great. thats why guys still have them. but there is something only a man and wife can do, and that is have a relationship that crosses the gender gap and becomes one life. i highly doubt you would have not found a woman to marry if your wife had turned out to be male. you simply would have made a best friend of him and gone about looking for a mate.
"Celibate monks of old denied the physical in a "marriage" to God. Sex in not a need, it is a pleasure. We need food to survive, but it doesn't have to be solely comprised of steak."
celibate monks of now do as well. and yes, sex between man and woman is a need. or do you think the stork brought those two kids? to survive as humanity, we need sex between men and women. again, homosexuality provides nothing to humanity. it is self-serving and completely avoidable.
"We can experience other things. We can raise above our original biological programming."
experience away. that still isnt a way of life God has for us. you can experience LSD. should you live your life around it?
"Hate the sin, not the sinner. Treat others as you would be treated. "
if i was sick, i would want to be healed.
and yes, i do love the sinner. thats why im saying to you that the homosexual agenda is a lie. it needs to be revoked so these people can get help.
btw, way overdue, as i was re-reading some of the stuff...
those "friends that dont represent the millions" happen to STILL be 100% of a representation. that means according to scientific research, i'm most likely right. and a test group of nearly 1000 is a pretty good one, especially over a 4 year period.
That's a good point, however, you're assuming molestation contingent to a family member. She very well could have been molested by someone outside the family, though I'm not suggesting she was mind you.
...”whats sad though, is that i can witness even my homo/bisexual friends having mental instability. i have pointed out that their is a correlation, and they deny it.”...
We have two homosexual and one lesbian who are close relatives. All are clearly unstable.
Ask all of these psychiatrists who have small children if the want their kids to grow to be “gay”?
The Founders gave us the tools to deal with this:(You are correct. Then Sodomy was a Crime of Infamy One that James Wilson,and other students of Wm Blackstone refused to even talk about-it is so detestable.The penalty in the colonies was generally either death—or expulsion.Jefferson proposed a more humane penalty for Virginia -he proposed castration if a male or the boring of a hole through the cartilage of the nose no less than 1/2 in. diameter if a female.His proposal was rejected and the laws remained untouched for several decades.Dr.Robert Spitzer -who initially supported the LIE concerning sexual orientation around 2000 published that his studies found the APA was wrong and the homosexual can ,if they desire to change, change orientation.Even the homosexual community seem to admit that sexual orientation is fluid and changes throughout life.No doubt some of it may be referred to as quackery—but the same charge can be laid at the feet of a significant portion of that field psychotherapy.
