WADR, no, they're not married.

I concur. The reason I post links is to help folks better understand the complicated issues surrounding homosexuality. I believe the summary in Satinover's The Gay Gene? covers it well. Just scroll to the bottom of the article.
But the genetic vs. chosen lifestyle debate is deceiving, at best.
I think it's completely deceiving and it's certainly not an argument I make. Most don't understand the issues because there's so much confusion and bias.
I posted this link earlier in the thread and I think you may find it of interest: How Might Homosexuality Develop? Putting the Pieces Together. Also, while you can't get much out of reading the I Do Exist website, the video itself is very interesting. I cannot recommend the video enough.
I'll tell their minister. They'll be surprised.
done before since myu first post to you. You vaguely remember my comments about your research. I don't save posts and I won't reread your crap. The fact that you don't remember and won't admit it is not my problem.
This is the point where I say, I'm tired again of your evasiveness and leave so you can say anything you want without fear of the truth coming out in my reply. But I'll see you again on another thread when you decide to side bust my responses to others.
The fact that the conservative cause is comprised of both Christians and non Christians does not give you license to denigrate God and or Christians -period. Intolerance is liberal codeword that suggest only liberal positions are to be respected. I will not tolerate your continued Christian bashing and would strongly suggest again you stop it -- this time without attempting to excuse your inexcusable actions... Nip it in the bud!
What Free Republic is all about:
Statement by the founder of Free Republic

We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money.

Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
So you're running away, yet again, unable to support your statements.
I'm saving your comments in this thread so I can further demonstrate you make unsupportable statements and run away.
The only ones "denigrating" here are you and yours. I don't think that's very Christian of you. Period.
I did not know that mutations can be so frequent and so regular (as to keep on recreating 2% minority with very well defined characteristics). Amazing!
How would you explain the higher frequency of this mutation in prisons or in upper classes of ancient Rome and Greece?
On FR you need to be a member in good standing for at least eight years before you can start to make intolerant anti-Christian remarks. It is very different from DU.
If you are not careful you might have a nasty meeting with Viking Kitties.
I think you should consider where the highest prevalence of homosexual behavior occurs--answer, in our prison system. Why is this? Do you consider those in prison to represent the highest order of mental stability? Homosexuality if a mental disorder worthy of treatment. Arguments put forth by homosexuals can be used to defend any deviant behavior but that doesn't make it right.
I was not implying at all that homosexuality is due to repeated mutations. If you read on in my post I explain that it is likely a particular combination of genes. Sorry if I was not more clear about that, but please re-read.
"Since homosexuals--by their behavior--take themselves out of the gene pool, it is an interesting question and one that more answers await more research."
It is a how-wash. How the REAL and HONEST research is possible if the condition of pro-homosexual brainwashing, PC hysteria prevails? Honest and intelligent researchers will stay a mile away from this stinking topic.
The new false dogma is more strongly entrenched than Lysenko-ism was under Stalin's rule.
I certainly hope you're not suggesting that the LORD, the creator and sustainer of the Universe and all of creation, is not capable of ensuring the proper translation of His Holy Word. The one True source of His mighty authority, and His chosen method of communicating with His people.
I believe He's fully capable of overseeing it.
It's sin. It makes people do, say, and think things that are evil and contrary to what is normal.
Back to the gays...you implied that I "...presented this "explanation" of special "combination of genes", made it into a proven fact and drew the conclusion."
No--I never used the term "proven fact." I believe that common sense and much data would lead people into believing that male homosexuality is largely genetic.
Male sexuality is largely driven by visual sexual cues...T&A. This is not something straight males can be talked out of...it is what it is. True male homosexuals do not respond to this. Also, the fact that many gays knew they were so oriented from the time they were children is another common sense fact for genes. Further, in a Darwinian sense, it would be totally illogical to leave such important issues as those surrounding reproductive success up to environmental "chance."
What about the pressures of political corectness and constant propaganda ? The psychatric congress decision to remove the homosexuality from the list of sexual disorders, was it caused by common sense or political pressure?
