Why is homosexuality wrong?

Wow, these new definitions seem especially tragic for bisexuals. Talk about being written out of the plot!

Well they are labeled according to who they are having sex with at the time, of course. And if more than one gender, they are polysexual. But the real people left out of the plot are the intersexed, hermaphroditic, and transgendered. I'm not sure how they can fit into the hetero or homo category. They are all over the animal kingdom including humans. Really. There are fish that change genders and lots of hermaphroditic worms and slugs and sea creatures and other things that can go either way-- hyena females have testes--they get exposed to very high androgen levels in the womb and could kick your ass (well, xenon's ass)

God sure does testsome people a lot more than he tests others with that whole leviticus thing. Couldn't he just have whipped up his people with the primal instincts that he finds so damn necessary? I mean, he's GOD, for godsake! And since he's god, doesn't he know how it's all going to end anyhow-- why all the testing and such--???

I wonder if XenonII has an inner likable guy inside that he represses along with his feelings for men? If he lost his faith and his fear, he might not be such a hate-filled, angry, repressed guy, eh... he could get a little of that heaven on earth he's so sure he's earning by being whatever it is he imagines the invisible guy wants. And the thing is, the atheists he hates so much would be the most accepting of his choices--not the theists whom he trusts for "higher truths" from the invisible guy.

I certainly appreciate the wonderful sentiments and cogent arguments expressed here by people that are not gay and simultaneously are not bigots. I don't often feel that someone has got my back, so it means more when they do.

This place is lousy with intelligent and rational people. I hope that over your next few hundred posts you will learn that you can pretty well depend on that (people having your back) in this little corner of the world.

**** personal news flash *****
Just this moment, in the middle of writing this, it dawned on me who you are. I didn't realize you posted here.

I was about to suggest you come to a TAM or something sometime and see how great a bunch of JREF people are..... but now I realize, you already know. (at least largely)

Probably better, since we're strangers, if we straight guys are the ones that get your back, as it were.... well anyway....I'm reminded of Vermont bumper stickers. After civil unions came about, those who opposed it began sporting stickers that said "Take Back Vermont." the pro union sorts came back with "Take Vermont Forward," but a few incorrigibles had "Take Vermont from the Back."

Haha! My bumper sticker says "I'm Straight - Not Narrow." And yes, I've had to explain it to people. :rolleyes:

It's weird, if you defend the rights of homosexuals, many of the bigots seem to label you as homosexual yourself. I guess they just can't figure out why a heterosexual person would defend homosexuals. It's probably the same as "negro lover."
 
And we all know that only witches oppose witch burnings. This is just more of the same evil.

Yet you insist, using capital letters for emphasis, that a person is absolutely, positively, literally not a homosexual person unless they do in fact engage in homosexual activity.

When such a person concludes whatever homosexual activity they may have practiced, and we all do wish to be perfect, do they then revert back to a non-homosexual status until the next time they slip or change planes in Minneapolis?

This is entirely true, and is the reason why I am vegetarian. I may occasionally (every mealtime) slip into an omnivorous mode, but once I've finished the meal, I'm a vegetarian again. Praise the Lord, and pass the sausages.

In other words.... Xenon approved or not Xenon approved.

You mean God approved or not God approved.

Remember, it's God that hates those homos. That's why he created them - God apparently loves to create stuff to hate. He's not all that much fun at parties.

Nope, I said what I meant. I am (relatively) confident that Xenon exists. Of god, I've not seen the tiniest trace of evidence.

A non-existent entity can neither approve or disapprove of anything.

Too true, that. I was just joshing you anyhow. :)

Sure it can! It just tends to approve or disapprove of the same things that whoever is invoking its name does.

Well, we're all miserable sinners,, and must pray for forgiveness. Besides, it only looked like a pepperoni. I didn't actually eat it, and I don't really remember anyway, because I had inadvertently ingested 60 vicodins and a bottle of vodka, mistaking them for halloween candy and gatorade. God forgives you if you ask nicely, though. Now excuse me a moment, I just have to step over to that motel for a ...um...laying on of hands.
 
Little girl is walking with her daddy on the shore of the ocean

“Daddy” the little girl says, “you said that god is all-knowing and all-powerful right”.

Her Daddy replies “Why yes, he is all-knowing and all-powerful”.

“So” the little girl goes on “that would mean that he knows what you will do before you do it, even years ahead in the future”.

Her Daddy sighs, because he knows where this is going “Yes, he knows all things before they happen”.

The little girl looks up to her Daddy “When what the hell his problem, he makes you imperfect, he knows what you going to do, and then when you do it he gets mad”.

The father looks down without looking at her “Well how else can he god show you how flawed you are”.

The little girl stops walking “Not much of a god is he”.

The father sighs again “No he is not”.

Time for an new and improved so-called god.

Nah. We just have twice as good a chance of getting a date than the rest of you. :p

If you think about it, it's really more like 10% extra chance. Because on the same-sex side, the majority of folks aren't available as potential dates.

Well assuming say 10% are gay an 10% bi for each sex.

So for the total population

40% are straight for each sex
5% are gay or bi for each sex.

So a straight person has 45% of the population available as potential sex partners from a gender point of view.(I really would prefer the word sex instead of gender, but using sex in two ways in one sentence seems confusing).

A Bi person would have 55% of the population as potential sex partners.

The relative difference of these is about 20% more potential partners.

And yes this is really just being a math geek.
