Why is homosexuality wrong?

No. I cannot speak to animals. I can just interpret what I observe.
I watch the Dog whisperer. He is good at interpreting animal mental states.
I bow to his wisdom.

Jeez you'll just bow to anyone.

If you want to think and act like a dog you are welcome to. I, on the other hand, tend to think more than most dogs.

You realize you are using words that form sentences but make no sense in context?

Speaking as a one time evangelical Christian, I can say his words make perfect sense within the context of evangelical Christianity. On a skeptic's board they do look a little like word salad.

The only other way is for him to be bitten by gay lions and live to tell about it.
 
My knowledge of theology is pretty ropey, but isn't the concept that you get close to god to be cleansed - rather than the other way round?
 
If god is everywhere, that means he's in your rectum... how much closer to god could you get. Is it possible to even get away from an omnipresent, invisible, undetectable, immortal entity?
 
I don't know... omnipresesent means omnipresent, right?

The nuns didn't have a good answer when I asked them about that one as a kid either.

Any truely wise person knows that there is no so-called god, and surely knows that there is no need for one either.

Paul

Only the so-called dirty minded think that there is any need for cleansing.

Ah, the nuns....... I guess I know why they did not tell you more about it, you were regarded as being too young to talk about stuff like that......I mean, if god is omnipresent, it is only logical that he is also ......hmm....somewhere "in" the nuns, which would explain why they are called "wives of god". It all starts to make sense now.........

Indeed, and while we're at it, if wisdom is attained only after the cleansing and coming to god, then this implies that the decision to find god and be cleansed is made with no wisdom at all, simply on faith, and the faith itself based on something other than wisdom. Why would god want us to act stupidly in the hope of gaining wisdom? He's not very good at this stuff, is he? It would just be so much easier if he would just do something simple like making his existence clear. You know, if there really were a god, and he really were omnipotent and all those other omni qualities, he could make us believe in him in the blink of an eye. Of course to do this requires existence in the first place, which for the clumsy, arthritic old desert demiurge is a big big hurdle.

I don’t think He ever will.
I see man as having a political nature and a spiritual nature.
Politically, dealing with a physical world there may be good reasons to not lose genetic lines.
From the spiritual side, it should not care for saving genetic lines and should be mute on the subject.
I see no leg for God to stand on.

You have the right to believe that God should not care about saving genetic lines, but please be aware that the God of the Bible cares a great deal about genetic lines.

disclaimer: I am not a Christian and I disagree with the Bibles view on homosexuality.

I'm reminded of an old Life In Hell by Matt Groening in which Little Bongo asks "If God is everywhere is he in the toilet?".

If "cleansing myself" involves not being able to make sensible, rational decisions on my own, I guess I'll be not meeting God.
