You gave a far more elegant explanation than the carnal derivatives I was expecting. I appreciate your perspectives.

I want everyone to understand what’s be recognized when it’s the behavior of homosexuality that’s being courted to the levels of sublimation. Essentially through law, the function of the anus is considered to be the equivalent of the vulva “for the better good of society”.

Neither Faith nor love are exclusive determinants to homosexuality. These common attributes are for everyone’s benefit. No Christian should deny this.

I don’t give a crap about the private behavior of people old enough to go to war. I have no problem with personal contracts. But don’t tell me two dudes can make a marriage. That’s #ing idiotic.

Well, the “elegant” explanation is really the only truly useful one.

I am very unabashedly not evenhanded about “religions” here either. If you can find something truer than the gospel then show it to me. But this is like asking to find something truer than general relativity. However possible in abstract theory, I dare you to do it in practice.

Well actually... yes. Now I see what you were getting at.

But even yet the Christian spiritual understanding is the one that explains the ugliness of it better than any other understanding available to mankind. The act of buggery has been folded in, as something that Satan’s illusion urges. That’s a hateful act, as if anyone needed to be told. It’s a kind of sadomasochism. Other forms of sadomasochism often go with this, again folding hatefulness into the inside-out pretzel that Satan has made of the involved individuals’ love capacity.

Now it turns out we CAN explain what sadomasochism is the distortion of, through Christianity. It turns out to be the abuse of a very beautiful thing, the willingness to suffer for the sake of bringing forth the blessing of God into the world, a suffering which the New Testament itself describes as being able to be endured with joy. The cross of Christ was itself the prototype of this. “Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame....”

I am dead serious here. The gospel deftly unscrambles the puzzle of homosexuality. But it has to be a gutsy gospel. No polite church Christianity, this.
