how do you reconcile being LGBT+ with your religion?

[Marinixa]

S3x in biology is to make offspring, and you cant do that in homosexuality

So what about casual sex between heterosexual people? Also what about infertile people?

[Western Theram]

We are equating being gay to alcoholism now.. Wow...

Reminds me of that time I heard on the news when this deadbeat dad would come home from being gay and beat his kids... /s


Whether you hate them or not is entirely irrelevant. By promoting the idea that a intricate part of who they are, how they love, whom they desire to be with is somehow "harmful" has consequences on the well being of millions of people.

Moral panic around homosexuality has led to MILLIONS of deaths.

And? (I've decided to not engage with this debate due to its controversial nature)

AKA: "you mde me feel bad !"

God intervenes on behalf of the infertile in the Bible, such as with Abraham and Sarah.
The main rigid constraint there in Catholicism, at least, is that sexual acts must be open to life in that there is no attempt on the part of the husband and wife to stop pregnancy from occurring.

See, the first bit didn't happen and the second bit spreads disease and poverty and is a bad idea. We should live our lives in the real world.

I mean, I guess children could spread disease, but I don't think that should be a primary consideration when deciding if to try for a child, if you are willing to vaccinate your child and provide them with the medical treatment and clinical visits necessary for them to ensure a healthy life.

1. God intervenes on behalf of the infertile in the Bible, such as with Abraham and Sarah.
2. The main rigid constraint there in Catholicism, at least, is that sexual acts must be open to life in that there is no attempt on the part of the husband and wife to stop pregnancy from occurring.

1. Which is like arguing against universal healthcare because Jesus healed a few sick people 2 millenia ago and sometimes people's cancer goes into remission.

2. Which is an internally inconsistent standard, since if one or both of those partners are infertile, then definitionally speaking, "the sexual act is closed to life", and they are acting in a manner to stop pregnancy from occurring.

That is...not what I was talking about. Have you heard of STDs?

...which is why it counters a claim and is not the crux of Christian sexual ethics.

If they intentionally sterilized themselves, but I am not referring to contraception.

Being homosexual is natural too then.

S3x in biology is to make offspring, and you cant do that in homosexuality

you can, actually
c4t or t4t in certain cases

I reconcile me being Non-binary with the parable of the good Samaritan. It is not always you expect are good people. Even those most shunned by society are the ones who are good. The Bible teaches us to welcome the stranger. Key word strange. Being LGBTQIA+ is exactly the ones who are to be welcomed. It is their sins that makes them the last who will be first. I do not agree that the Bible teaches us to hate LGBTQIA+ people. When they are exactly the ones that are to be welcomed.

The world is overpopulated, and bringing a person into a world of suffering is unethical.

I absolutely adore this take. We need more people like you in the world.

[Merien]

I spent some time thinking about it and realized I'm bisexual. Would rather go to Hell being me than going to Heaven for someone else's idea of who I should be. Woman in my life told me she was going back to church so I suppose I go there. No time for religion who doesn't accept me.

Are you from the Northern Territory?

No.

[Marinixa]

If the excuse against gay people is "they cannot bring life," we should be also restricting people who have sex with Postmenopausal AFABs

S3x between heterosexual people is not sinful unless it's outside marriage.
Infertility is not a sin, and that portion of the populace is very small

Welcome the stranger, not the sin

Infertility is not a sin, and that portion of the populace is very small

Then why would homosexuality be sinful ? After all, homosexual people can marry too.

Obviously, because the Apostle Paul said so.

Why is it "normal"? Is gay sex not normal?

No it's not normal

No it's not normal

It's normal. Even animals practice homosexuality. Why would God allow this to happen?

[Inkraiya]

There was a NS issue where protesters were picketing outside a bookstore or smth and the protestors were asking for homosexuality ban and asking for 1 true faith. I clicked that option and my civil rights plummeted down. I eventually reversed banning it and stopped being a theocracy but my civil rights didnt recover and its always low now

[Mazakena]

I'm not going to argue with you over this, but God created the world in perfection, and the sin of man has slowly eroded and destroyed the earth, homosexuality is an evil and an example of how sin has destroyed the earth, and even not from a biblical point of view, homos can't have kids, so not very natural, and they have the same body parts sooo....

[Staidear]

~snip~

So people who cannot have kids are not natural and evil?

Also, perhaps we don't use "homos" hm?
