The problem is that scientists who can prove that it is a disorder/perversion are afraid to be open about it because of all this political correctness nonsense. Seriously most scientists who are brave enough to speak the truth about the evils of homosexuality see their careers being destroyed. Also look at statistics. Per capita the STD rate among the LGBT community is much higher than among normal people and furthermore surveys show that homosexuals are much more likely to be sexually promiscuous. This is even true in places like Norway, Netherlands, Spain, and Canada where discrimination and social hate can't be called contributing factors to those statistics as they are wrongly attributed to here in the U.S.


The many gay couples who I have known, who have been together for over ten years, who have never strayed while together, prove not only that you are wrong, but that you're an idiot.

I, personally, am not homosexual. Not my thing. But excluding one group from full participation in a country's culture because of a completely artificial idea of morality (and one that demands slavery, wife-beating and infanticide) is suicidally stupid.

I don't care if you are white, black, brown, red, yellow, or green with purple polka-dots -- if you salute my flag, and swear to be loyal to the death to my country, then you are a Citizen. While I encourage people to have as many children as they can, and foster if they can't, it's not a requirement.

This makes me strong.

The weak will be crushed. The strong will negotiate. That is the Law.

Old bible traditions are distinguished to all who have an argument as stupid as this!

So we can pick and choose which parts of the Bible we like and don't like? Fair enough, let's start with Leviticus. A lot of people don't like how it's interpreted, so let's just ignore it.

Genesis is flat-out wrong. Replace it with a description of the Big Bang, nebulae, and protoplanetary discs. Might as well explain the conditions on early Earth where amino acids and simple organic compounds could form spontaneously from component elements as well.

It doesn't. Blind people can't drive, and homosexual couples can't procreate.

If procreation is the reason for marriage, then would it be unreasonable to restrict marriage to opposite-sex couples?


Procreation is simply one of the by-products of marriage.

I am told people actually have children outside of marriage. :shock:

It is actually clothing that is woven with linen and wool. You can wear one linen sock and on wool sock, if, however, the socks are wooven with linen and wool, that is against the Levitical Laws.

Why? Heterosexuality encourages a necessary biological function, whereas homosexuality doesn't encourage a necessary biological function.


And?

If homosexuality was say a growing "disease" which was overtaking hetro's that might be a concern.

There are enough people to make that claim to have no merit.

And who needs Revelations? It's not like God and Satan are actually in conflict.
Edit: Might as well replace this with a three page description on good and evil. That way, you don't get any clearer than revelations does.
