I noticed you tried to pretend that damage from anal sex is merely a “risk”.
Sort of like dehydration is merely a risk if one quits drinking water.

You are personally dishonest.

That is not name calling.

That is merely straightforward analysis of your posting.

You threw out a loopy assertion that homosexuality can only be opposed on religious grounds. No matter how much you try to twist things that was both a stupid assertion and a dishonest one.

I am "trying to twist" nothing. I understand the connection between moral philosophy, public policy, and personal motivation, that's all.

I will certainly grant you that you can proclaim to the world that gay sex is a bad idea because it damages your body and, on average, shortens your life. The problem with that is that the same things are true of drinking, illicit drugs, skydiving, motorcycle riding, and jaywalking.

It's a weak case. When weighed against what this fallen world sees as the legitimate personal expression of affection and sex in people whose sexual bent differs from the norm, personal expression wins every time.

So you can oppose all you like on your grounds of "please don't do that, it's not good for you," but without grounding in a worldview that supports your position, it's just you pushing your personal opinion of what people should and shouldn't do.

I'm sorry you consider me dishonest. I do not intend to be, and if I saw where I was being dishonest I would own up to it and correct it.
