Everything else you've said on this thread is pure meaningless fluff. Here's the nub:

Do you agree with this statement: "Heterosexual conduct within the bounds of marriage is good, healthy, natural, lifegiving and proper." Homosexual conduct is never any of those things under any circumstances."

Check [ ] Yes. [ ] No.

Your response was (to consolidate):

Usually, though I could point to thousands of cases where that's anything but true. The divorce rate in this Country alone indicates that's simply not an absolute. Not being a homosexual, nor in seeing many cases of homosexual unions breaking up, I can't say one way or the other. No substantive study free from any defects has yet been made public to my knowledge. But I though you wanted to keep this strictly about the one teacher who was fired for outing his homosexuality on a website. Not sure what that's got to do with marriage. You're confusing me about what you want to discuss.

That's a lovely non-answer. Were you ever a politician?

How dare they. I mean, why would doctors and psychologists feel they have any special training or education to make such judgments when they can check in with one or two ping lists and learn everything they need to know.

The American Psychiatric Association's decision to remove SSAD from the DSM was done by a vote that was purely political and not based on any new scientific discoveries. Since when is science a democratic process?

Surely you are not suggesting the links you have provided me had no bias attached by either the author or the user?

That's a problem endemic to the social sciences--and it slants much more heavily to the pro-homo than the anti-homo side. Based on my reading of dozens of social science articles in academic journals, I have concluded that most of these soft-science statistical studies are pure, unadulterated BS. For a real eye opener, try reading the journal Accountability in Research on a regular basis. It has made me infinitely more cynical of all this garbage--particularly the pro-homosexual studies that produce results which are beyond counter-intuitive.

It's the best answer you'll get. Were you ever a thinker? Oh, nevermind.

Well, clearly I don't follow these things with the gusto you do, but I don't know. Do you have a link to the proceedings, with all of the various studies? Science may not be a democratic process, but over here on a couple of ping lists, it's definitely a lost process.

That's a pretty good way of saying "your studies are junk'....mine are cool". But if you can blow off a few hundred studies, then you are left with your original conclusion....it's whatever I say it is!
