but we must also be willing to look at what we perceive to be the "dark side" too on occasion, either to re-validate our own beliefs, or to update them.

hey, hey, hey....there will be none of that 'logical reasoning' here. Especially on something as cut-and-dried as the inherent evils of homosexuality. After all, they're all out to get our kids and recruit us as well. :-) /sarcasm

Unfortunately, there are all too many people here on FR that are just as close-minded as the (for lack of a better term) 'gay lobby' that they belittle. It is this diametrical opposition that will delay the real answers about homosexuality from coming out for at least the span of my generation, IMHO.

Adam wears pinkish-purple nail polish, adorned with stars and diamonds.

 

He has a bright future ahead of him.

Check the links I just posted above. Most homosexuals have had poor bonding with their fathers, or the fathers were absent.

"Nature herself has homosexuality activity in many animals..."

Actually not true. Most activity that people call homosexual in animals is merely dominance displays, or faux mating. Very seldom do animals actually practice same sex gratification. And usually if it happens, it's in zoos, not exactly the natural environment. Or when the sexes are segrated.

No, animals do not as a rule practice homosexuality. But, just to make a point, even if they did - they also regularly do things like eat excrement, devour their or others' young, practice incest, and so on.

Whenever I see NARTH as a reference citation, Jeremiah, I have to lock down my immediate response. While these people feed the necessary belief system of those who continually use their "research" as valid, I cannot go there and will not belittle what you prefer to believe.

I also disagree nature does not effect homosexuality in the animal kingdom.

I would offer references of study being done in major universities on the topic of homosexuality and its causes, whether in utero or post natal, but it is certainly not choice. Why would anyone choose to go through life scarred and abused and accused as are many of these people.

My own personal belief is that all who have been given life are precious and how they follow their personal pathways, it not up to any of us to condemn, but to seek knowledge and enlightenment.

How will you feel say in two hundred years Jeremiah, when it is found that homosexuality is yet another blip in the formation of the human - and we have so many aberrations awaiting development in our minds, our bodies and our choices in life as we develop. How will you feel knowing we have damned innocents? Their choice? Can you deny your own heterosexual choices?

I don't have any answers and am not saying you are wrong Jeremiah, only that I tend to disbelieve what you do.
You of course are on the "side of the angels" yes? Some of us must seek answers by travelling other roads to knowledge. I believe none of us should be born into censure.

I agree - this issue has been caste into darkness and suspicion. It will be a long time before all of our
variations on the theme of sexual drive and behavior will be understood.

Even within the heterosexual group - the majority - there are huge differences in sexual practices and drives and preferences among males and females and we acknowledge these diverse needs as "normal" within the group - but what if homosexuality is actually yet one more variation into a practice which is presently being denied by a group of people who claim love and belief as their primary motivation. The religious.

If anything, religion should lead the way into research of this variant behavior in humans, to better understand and even include the knowledge into their "forgiveness" which they seem to deny these people. Only if homosexuality is "given up" or "cured" or "not practiced actively"...can religious people accept it. That is dark ages thought and prevention of understanding.

Physical variations were long unaccepted (dwarfism for example), but knowledge has led to enlightenment. Mental illness was a damnation and treated as such. Research into this doctrine and understanding of the diseases or disorders of the mind have led to understanding. Why not this particular group? Because it has to do with sexuality?

Please let's not go down that dusty road of sexuality being a sin again.

I am way over the line now WBill - thanks for your response.

The vast majority have some kind of feminized behavior.

Marijuana is a perfect chemical warfare agent for the feminization of men...

I tried growing my hair out, until Dad said that he'd get me a dress and a pair of earrings to wear with it.

Needless to say, I got a haircut.

I got a Mohawk!

Once, I was recruited by a single mother friend who wanted me to take her teenage son shopping for clothes.

He started to pick out these huge, oversized t-shirts (and baggy pants that he could wear to expose his rear).

I asked him if he was wanting a t-shirt or a dress. Then I asked him if he wanted to show his rear to attract the queer boys.

He now wears properly fitting pro-rodeo Wranglers with a belt, proper t-shirts and tucks in his button down shirts just like me! (And he does not have any desire to see Brokeback Mountain either...)

LOL! I have a cousin like that. I saw him at Christmas, and he was wearing the loose T-Shirt, baggy jeans, and he hadn't bothered to shave or comb his hair. He looked like a punk (actually, more like Grizzly Adams), and the family told him so....but I could tell that it went in one ear and out the other. Yada Yada Yada, Mom's whining at me again, and so forth.

So....I asked him if he had a girlfriend. He said 'No'. At 15 (16?) I imagine that's about all that he thinks of. I said that it was no wonder, dressed like that and not bothering to clean up. *That* comment made him think.

I saw him a couple of weeks ago. He got a haircut. T-Shirt was tucked in, his jeans fit and were clean. He still needed to shave, but at least he didn't look like a homeless person anymore.

Moses wrote Genesis. This is why such people will jump up and down screaming when the Ten Commandments are displayed or the Creationist idea of monogamy from the Book of Genesis is introduced.

The latter (Genesis) also ruins the illogical and non-biological arguments of homosexual monogamy. In a secular sense, homosexuality is an idolatry of perversion. It is in no way an anatomical function of the human organism, but a phantasmagoric creation from within the mentally disturbed human mind, a social psychosis, naked and on full exhibitionist display.

This is the whole crux of their attack on creationism - - they are really frustrated by Genesis, but cannot destroy the axiomatic state of procreant human biology, it does not fit their religious agenda.

Homosexual monogamy advocates seek ceremonious sanctification of their anatomical perversions and esoteric absolution for their guilt-ridden, impoverished egos.

Neither of those will satisfy their universal dissatisfaction with mortality or connect them to something eternal. With pantheons of fantasies as their medium of infinitization, they still have nothing in them of reality, any more than there is in the things that seem to stand before us in a dream.

Homosexual deviancy is really a pagan practice (and a self-induced social psychosis) at war with the Judaic culture over what is written in the book of Genesis (1:27, 2:18).

This is exactly what the National Socialists were at war with... so, when someone uses the term "Gaystapo," they might not realize how close to the truth they really are.

Many will seek ceremonious sanctification and esoteric absolution in some type of marriage rite, but that still fails to give them a connection to the eternal in both a religious and temporal, procreant sense - - the union does not produce offspring.

Dissatisfaction with inevitable mortality only feeds the impoverishment of the ego further. Homosexuals really hate human life; their whole desire is rooted in the destruction of it...

It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.

The very idea that human beings have individual rights not subject to the whims of a monarch, but subject to the laws of Yahweh, is directly from Moses.

Historically, this is proven over and over again with the successive conflicts between the forces of paganism and the Judaic culture. (This includes the idolatry of Marxist paganism.)

Today, "morals" are defined by a quasi-religious pagan philosophy based on esoteric hobgoblins. A greater number of "atheists" and "pagans" adopt the same hackneyed tenets of a false Judaic-Christian ideal (golden calf). They also subscribe to the Judaic fetishism of "sin," but will fight to their death in denial of it. Most of them are so wrapped up in their own polemics that they have become nothing more than pathetic anti-Christians with the same false hypocritical philosophy. They just slap a new label on it hoping nobody will notice - - they replace the idea of "avoiding sin" with "morals."

Morality and all of its associated concepts are from the belief some higher power defines what is correct in human behavior. Today, "morals" are a religious pagan philosophy of esoteric hobgoblins. Transfiguration is a pantheon of fantasies as the medium of infinitization. Others get derision for having an unwavering Judaic belief in Yahweh or Yeshua, although their critics and enemies will evangelize insertion of phantasmagoric fetishisms into secular law.

After my last go around on this issue, I wondered how long it would take you to find your way into the conversation with all of your rehearsed word salad.

What are you afraid of Sir Francis?

It couldn't be that you want to save "humankind" because you speak down to all of us - therefore indicating you could care less about the rabble at your feet.

Perhaps the pontifications give your life meaning, status and a reason to be.

If procreation was the only mission of sexual activity, we would only have that activity when we were guaranteed of starting a new life. You know that is not true at all.

People have sexual activity for many reasons - and very few of them have anything to do with procreation.

But we creatures - we humans - are so imperfect. Especially me.

With all due respect, your drivel is mindless, baseless, puerile fact free opinion.

Here's what you said translated into commonsense English:

"In the future all morals will have been overthrown and hopefully made illegal. Then, in the glorious future of pure hedonism (and likely religion will be outlawed too) we will all be free! Free! To screw anything and everything we want! Ha ha! Hee hee!"


(I would wager that you are under 20 years old, maybe considerably under.)
