Which Cult or Sect is Most Dangerous?

The 'teaching' thing... No.

Perhaps I am incorrect, but my understanding is that schools do teach that homosexuality is as valid as heterosexuality.

You think 5th grade is a little early; when will it be ok? And why is that? Why is sexual orientation *ever* any business of anyone except the consenting participants?


Oh, BTW, Girl6 -- as moderator -- seems to have a problem with the following words:
Are you gay? If so, you made your choice. Even God gives you that freedom. I have no problem with that, but I do have a problem when you openly say that theres nothing wrong with being gay.. Because there is..

It is a sickness as much as perversion, rapists, porn addicts. Your goals in life should be to improve your generousity, and care for others, not for your penis (obviously u cant pro-create when gay.)...

Apparently the only vaild faith here is materialism/atheism plus the 'anything goes' morality of secular humanism. IMNSHO, that is as much a Religious Teaching as any other; why should that faith be taught to the exclusion of all others.

Making "fun" is not "hatred of religious people" is it? If a friend has a new hair cut that I take the mickey out of that isn't "hatred".

There are people who are making more than "fun" of religious people on here. Look at the name of this topic, for example.
 
Girl 6,

thank you for pointing this out to me

That's good Karma for you.

... and for what it is worth, I agree with you that the muscleman is wrong (God doesn't dislike Gay people). But that is his bad karma. He'll have to deal with that in his own way in his own time.
 
Girl 6 said:


Alright...

I'm sorry. I'm just reacting in a poor way to something that I consider to be offensive. Of course, it's wrong of me to judge. Muscleman is stating an opinion.

I apologize and I retract.

And, thank you for pointing this out to me. I will also send a PM to muscleman with an apology.

I don't think anyone could expect more from you G6 then a full and frank apology.

Obviously you found the post very offensive and had an "emotional" reaction to it, nothing wrong with that you are equally entitled to your opinion.

Don't disagree.

But is the thread title itself showing hatred or is it just asking a question?

I suppose the assumption behind the title is that at least some "cults" and "sects" are dangerous, but to anyone with access to any form of media this would seem to be a pretty "safe" (i.e. accurate) assumption.

Okay, so, you're one of the respectable humans.

Okay, so we've established that you're human, respectable, AND wise.

That's rather a lot to heap into one post, isn't it? :D

Hey neutrino, my bad..LOL I was talking to Yahzi, not you... I didnt mean it, that guy is a moron, he makes so much accusation but cant back it up, I have exchanged posts with him on the other thread. Im sorry if you got involve here..

Are you religious? If so, you made your choice. Even The Laws of Physics gives you that freedom. I have no problem with that, but I do have a problem when you openly say that theres nothing wrong with being religious.. Because there is..

It is a sickness as much as perversion, rapists, porn addicts. Your goals in life should be to improve your knowledge, and care for Science, not for your faith (obviously u cant evolve when religious.)...

har har, Franko. Har har.
 
neutrino_cannon,

do you think that sexual orientation is determined, or "free will"?

How about religion?

Explain your answer.

I think that sexual orientation is neither predetermined nor is it entirely based on what an individual chooses. I beleive (as do most athorities, if my information is even anywhere close to correct) that sexual orientation is a result of stimulus gained thoughout life.

Religion, I suspect is initial based on what you are exposed to first (as a child), and then by subsiquent stimulus and experieces. So that's like sexual orientation too.

Futherthermore, I have seen no reputable reports that do anything but agree with the opinions I have here expressed.


edited to add:

here, the fruits of a few seconds googling:

http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_caus.htm
http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/ip/social.services/youth-services/orient/ori2

And now that I have seen a good deal of articles relating to a very few studies indicating that homosexuality may be in part genetic, I am reconsidering my earlier opinion.

edited again to add

This becomes increasingly tangential.

It would appear that we are in complete agreement on this matter. Religion and Sexual orientation, while perhaps dependant slightly on some genetic factors (predisposition) are largely the result of upbringing, conditioning, life-experience, and environment.

Quite so. I read about an experiment involving flies, in which the temperature was adjusted to the point wheere their mechanisms for recognising each other's sex was shot. I wonder if at some level something like that might go on in he brains of homosexuals.

My, my, that is absolutely not politically correct. You imply that homosexuality is aberrant behavior that could be "corrected".
