A third view on homosexuality.

Mostly, it's people who have full support for gay rights on one side, and people who think gays are either abominations or choosing it on the other side. But I've never seen anybody who shares my view, and I want to see what you think of it.

I believe that homosexuality itself is a negative thing. Not homosexuals, it's not their fault, they were born that way. But many a theory of nature says that the purpose of life is to reproduce, and something within homosexuals makes them unwilling to do so, thus, they are inherently different from heterosexuals.

I got nothing against homosexuals having rights. I haven't read all the rights, so I'm not sure if all of them apply to them, but, sure, they can have rights. But I also believe that, assuming the human race can survive another millenia or two, we will be able to locate the cause of homosexuality and cure it, and I believe that this is beneficial to society.

Homosexuals have reproduced (Melissa Etheridge and her former wife, anyone?)
Heterosexuals are also quite often unwilling to reproduce, by your logic we would have to force them to reproduce.
Heterosexuals are sometimes sterile, does this mean that sterile people are bad?

There's nothing in homosexuality that makes you unwilling to reproduce. And nothing that makes you unable to reproduce, either.

There's about a smuch 'curing' homosexuality as there is 'curing' being male. The Elk bless us all that idiocy is something that can sometimes be cured.

Why do animals have homosexual tendencies then, if it's so natural to only have sex to reproduce and only like members of the opposite sex?

Bad for you. If you're unwilling to reproduce, you're either homosexual, in which case you could be a brilliant specimen and thus are making things worse for the rest of us, or you could just be a heterosexual who probably shouldn't reproduce anyway.

Just feel honored and keep it up. And don't forget to mention you're bisexual, making you 1/2 bad, plus that silly refusal of you, let's say, 1/5 bad, that'd make you, umm, 7/10 bad, making you available for limited membership in the baddy-bad club, please find your silver badge in the mail.

Homosexuality is generally regarded as either down to genetics or cultural influence of some sort (never some invasive foreign pathogen that can be removed). Does that mean you would support either genetic screening and engineering of embryos and parents for the former, or literal brainwashing (or perhaps the complete regulation of free expression to control the cultural aspect) for the latter?

As a couple of others have said, some of us heterosexuals have no intention of ever reproducing. Some people are infertile, some of us just don't want to procreate. I don't see how gay men or women are all that different in this regard, therefore.

...you could just be a heterosexual who probably shouldn't reproduce anyway...Even if that is correct, why is it such a bad thing in your eyes?

Jesus Christ - is there anything/anyone you don't hate K-P? The purpose of life is not solely to reproduce, although that is something that happens a lot. There is nothing wrong with homosexuals or homosexuality - and since it is not a disease it cannot be cured. It is perfectly natural and there's nout wrong with homosexuality, so lay off.

If you've never met somebody with the view you go on to describe, then you need to get out more. Your particular brand of ignorance is very common.

I believe that homosexuality itself is a negative thing. Not homosexuals, it's not their fault, they were born that way. But many a theory of nature says that the purpose of life is to reproduce, and something within homosexuals makes them unwilling to do so, thus, they are inherently different from heterosexuals.

1) Scientific theories of nature say absolutely nothing about the "purpose of life."
2) Getting one's genes into the next generation does not require that one produce biological children of one's own.
3) Many human beings are not interested in biologically reproducing. Many humans believe that passing on one's values and one's history is more important than making babies that look like you.
4) Many homosexuals can, and do, reproduce. Homosexuals are every bit as capable of reproducing as heterosexuals are. There is no connection between homosexuality an infertility.


I got nothing against homosexuals having rights. I haven't read all the rights, so I'm not sure if all of them apply to them, but, sure, they can have rights.
How very generous of you.

But I also believe that, assuming the human race can survive another millenia or two, we will be able to locate the cause of homosexuality and cure it, and I believe that this is beneficial to society.

And what of those homosexuals who don't want to be "cured"? Will you decide that, while it's nice for them to have "rights" and all, they still should be forced to submit to your "cure"? For the good of society, of course...

You seriously need to get over yourself. Not everybody is interested in the kind of sex that happens to get YOU off. Not everybody wants to make babies. Not everybody thinks that human society will benefit from further restricting the types of genital smooshing that go on.

Most of us got past the "cooties" stage when we were in middle school.

Well, if it's genetic, we can fix it, eventually. If it's social (although I doubt it), we need a new society.

You said something about laws of nature saying that the meaning of life was to reproduce.

I counter saying that there's plenty of animals doing things other than that, so your laws might need to be revised, if not scrapped outright.

You respond "endangered animals!!!"

To which I will ask you: If a species (such as for instance... ah, I know, humans) has about 3 billion specimens on its planet, would you consider that species "endangered?"

Well, think about it:

Heterosexuals are disproportionately likely to engage in violent crime.

Heterosexuals are disproportionately likely to engage in rape, child molestation, and other sexual offenses.

Heterosexuals are disproportionately likely to commit murder.

Heterosexuals are disproportionately likely to engage in domestic abuse.

Given that modern technology makes heterosexual sex unnecessary, and given that heterosexuality is "linked" to increased propensity for criminal and violent behavior, maybe society would benefit from eliminating heterosexuality.

Or hey, maybe we get over ourselves and let people make their own fucking decisions about what to do with their genitals.

Let me make it super duper clear, sweetie pie:

If you are going to claim that homosexuality is relevant to the endangerment of animal species, you must provide at least ONE example of an animal species that is endangered due to homosexuality. ONE EXAMPLE.

In a word: yes. I've got news for you, sweets...the gays are everywhere. You work with them, talk with them, see them every day. You may not know it, but you're probably friends with some gay people. Homosexuality is as normal as heterosexuality. I know that makes some of you little boys want to scream and pout, but all the temper tantrums in the world aren't going to change reality. You might as well just chill out.

It has been proven(though I can't find the sources) that homosexuality happens in nature too. A male will choose another male to be it's mate and also females will choose other females. So it IS natural. :D We humans just follow suit.
Homosexuality will not be the cause of the downfall of the humans race.

Yep, you have "nothing against them," which is why you go on to "accuse" me of being homosexual (as though it is some kind of insult).

And you certainly seem to be overly fascinated with homosexuality, considering how disgusted you are with it. If homosexuality is so gross to you, why would you want to know whether or not I'm gay? Wouldn't you want to AVOID things that gross you out?

Yes. And so do you. Along with everybody else on the planet. It's called "attractiveness."Welcome to the age of plastic surgery and hair dyes.
And besides, did you fall asleep during genetics in biology? Two similar phenotypes can have completely different genotypes. And then there's recessive genes. The only way your eugenics program would work is if you screw people with the right results in the gene tests, no matter what they look like.
I remember the big Irish "eugenics program" on potatos. It ended in the potato famine.

Mostly, it's people who have full support for gay rights on one side, and people who think gays are either abominations or choosing it on the other side. But I've never seen anybody who shares my view, and I want to see what you think of it.

I believe that homosexuality itself is a negative thing. Not homosexuals, it's not their fault, they were born that way. But many a theory of nature says that the purpose of life is to reproduce, and something within homosexuals makes them unwilling to do so, thus, they are inherently different from heterosexuals.

I got nothing against homosexuals having rights. I haven't read all the rights, so I'm not sure if all of them apply to them, but, sure, they can have rights. But I also believe that, assuming the human race can survive another millenia or two, we will be able to locate the cause of homosexuality and cure it, and I believe that this is beneficial to society.

*awaits cries of "NAZI!"*
Okay....."NAZI!"

Since you raised the spectre of Nazism, in your own thread, lets look at your statement:

"But many a theory of nature says that the purpose of life is to reproduce"

Indeed, research is now suggesting that the qualities an average American rates as "very attractive" are sometimes actually indicators of a "less reproductively fit" individual. For instance, Americans tend to rate extreme thinness as an attractive quality in a woman, but women who genetically tend toward extreme thinness are also more likely to have difficulties conceiving and bearing children (due not only to body fat ratio stuff, but also to certain hormonal factors that happen to correlate with thinness in many cases).

Um, I think you are trying to ask, "If humans have the ability to use their genitalia to sexually reproduce, then how can homosexuality be natural?"

Well, humans have the ability to use our fingers to grasp tools, but we also have the ability to use our hands to play the piano. Humans can use our legs to walk around, or we can use them to dance the Cha-cha. Humans can use our elbows to allow our arms to flex, or we can use our elbows to break the nose of the opposing team's wingman.

Human body parts can be used for multiple functions. Any man should be aware of this, given that you can pee out of the same organ that you can use to impregnate somebody. If your penis can be used for urination as well as sex, why should it seem odd to you that some people use their anuses for defecation as well as sex?

Indeed, there is only ONE human body part that is designed exclusively for sex, and which serves NO PURPOSE other than sex: the clitoris. And the clitoris doesn't even serve reproduction directly, it serves sexual PLEASURE.

All other sexual parts (penis, testes, ovaries, vagina, uterus) have functions beyond sexual reproduction. Our testes and ovaries not only release sperm and eggs, they also help regulate the hormonal balances in our bodies. Our genitals actually spend more time helping out our digestive tracts than they do helping out our reproductive systems.

It makes me sad to think there are people who are so uncreative that they think the only purpose for their genitals can be reproduction. Not only are those people missing out on some of the best sex, but they also must really really have to pee by now.

24-02-2006, 15:29
haha okay...but come on, why do we have reproductive organs if homosexuality was natural?
Why do sterile people have reproductive organs? Why do idiots have reproductive organs? Why do bad people who should never be around any child have reproductive organs? It's because we are all human. Barring some really bad birth defect everyone is born with reproductive organs. It isn't going to change because some people think they are un-needed.
Homosexuality isn't a physical defect. It is a mental/emotional trait. Just like my preference for the color blue, or guys with full lips and long legs(I'm a girl by the way). I didn't choose the color blue. I'm just naturally drawn to it.
My personal belief is that homosexuality is the physical, emotional, sexual attration to the same sex. It is NOT a choice. It is not a disease or mutation.
That really has nothing to do with reproduction. Many homosexuals want to reproduce just as much as heterosexuals.
:edit: And many heterosexuals and homosexuals don't wish to reproduce. :end edit:

And it doesn't even work very well. If reproduction is the point of sex, then how come sex only leads to reproduction very very rarely? Even if you look at times or places when humans did not have any contraception, sex still only leads to reproduction about 1/20 times under the very most ideal of circumstances.

Pygmy chimpanzees? You mean bonobos? What's their conservation status again? Endangered? Geez, that must be working out well for them.


Can you guess why bonobo's are endangered?

There are over 6 billion people around today - the more affluent people there are , the greater the strain on the world's resources. Demands for tropical hardwoods from the growing "western" populations are fueling the logging industry in Africa, while their growing populations use the logging roads for further access to game a.k.a. bushmeat such as gorillas, bonobos, duikers, heck anything they can get their hands on. But why don't they farm the deforested lands? There's a lot of problems with this, one of the more salient being that with dumping of excess food produce from european markets and undercutting local profits it isn't profitable to farm, however bushmeat is a cheaper billion dollar industry.

So what are bonobos dying out from?

overexploitation from growing African populations

AND (FAR MORE IMPORTANTLY)

Habitat loss and fragmentation from the logging of rainforests by increasing western demand, owing to increasing western populations....


So by your own standards it seems that "using" the ability to reproduce is in fact a bad thing, and the bonobo's inevitable extinction* is a direct result of too much human reproduction and has nothing to do with homo/ actually make that bisexuality, incest and pederasty in bonobos which are all expressions of their wonderful social structure (you could say that instead of having a conversation bonobo's have sex - fascinating creatures, but doomed to extinction by our greed - we won't wise-up in time to save them, the tiger, the panda or a whole host of other flagship species - but i digress)

Homosexuality is natural - lets put that out there. I'm a qualified zoologist folks so direct any idiot who disagrees over here. However, so is infanticide, so using natural law to dictate your own moral compass is useless.

Humans are the only ones who put moral goods and bads on things - well get this - Overpopulation will mean that most of the world's resources of things like oil, platinum, aluminium, etc are used up in a hundred years, and that 50% of all species (we've only properly named around 30%) animal, plant fungi... will be extinct. That's 100's of million's of years of evolution and biological information gone forever. And to put that in context, think - we get brocolli, brussel sprouts, kale, cabbage and cauliflower all from varieties of the same SPECIES of plant - and those are only its food uses!!! Think of all the things we've lost already!

Now who would try and argue that adding to the human population is a "good" thing

Hurray for homosexuals (who choose not to have children) would that we all were as noble as them!

Ah, many a theory of nature says so, doesn't it? Why do animals have homosexual tendencies then, if it's so natural to only have sex to reproduce and only like members of the opposite sex?


Can you prove animals have homosexual tendencies? I have heard that crap before. My friend, I grew up on a farm and have observed to male goats "going at it" briefly. Before you say, "Ah ha!" let me stress these goats were a whopping six months old!! They had no idea what thier purpose was, they just knew what they were able to do. A little older, and somehow, the "natural born" instinct for queerism vanished. Also...I never, not once, witnessed two females of any species other than human, having sexual relations. Ain't happening!:eek:

You should raise penguins... They're cute :)

They're in love. They're gay. They're penguins... And they're not alone.
http://www.jrn.columbia.edu/studentwork/cns/2002-06-10/591.asp

Gay penguins found in Japanese aquariums

Researchers have found a number of same-sex pairs of penguins at aquariums in Japan, with an imbalance between the numbers of male and female birds suspected to be the cause, a report said.

A research group led by Keisuke Ueda, professor of behavioral ecology at Rikkyo University in Tokyo, found about 20 same-sex pairs at 16 major aquariums and zoos, Kyodo news agency said.

Penguins in captivity "may be more likely to form same-sex pairs" due to the difficulty of finding partners of the opposite sex because breeding facilities in Japan only have an average of 20 birds, the agency quoted Ueda as saying.

It is not known if the frequency of homosexuality is higher than in the wild, where telling the sexes apart is tough, he said.

Many of the gay male pairs and two of the female pairs were seen performing mounting behavior, it said.

Ueda was not available for comment on the report.

Well it is natural in animals - unless you want to go against literally tens of thousands of documented reported of it going on in the field (so to speak)

If you're upset with that I'd better not tell you about the cases of transvestitism in seabirds, homosexual necrophiliac rape in ducks, transexualism in pigs, hermaphroditism in amphibians, male parenting in seahorses....... the list goes on

Let me clarify that I have witnessed it once or twice in grown animals, but only when there was a bunch of males cooped together with little or no females, especially among chickens. The only time I saw females acting unnatural was a hen that humped a rooster. Not exactly homosexual, but very confused nonetheless. Y'all have still yet to prove homosexuality is natural among animals or humans.

You are forgetting humans minds are much more advanced than animals'. We can "invent" new ways to do things that were never meant to happen. Sin was never meant to exist in this world. But alas, the Great Deciever fixed that problem in the Garden of Eden, using our very first ancestors. And before you Great and Mighty Evolutionist Know-It-All's crucify me, I offer you a challenge (which is also open to the homo's). When you can find documents and manuscripts written by those who lived in times where there were animals in transitionary stages, or research that proves homosexuality is a biological makeup, I might listen to you.

I find it rather disturbing to know millions of people on this globe actually believe in the theory of evolution (which in reality, is no more than a hypothesis). I think it rather conveinient for you to say dinos existed before humans...billions of years ago. It's because you have no answers!! YOU KNOW NOTHING!!! The Bible speaks in Isaiah 30:6 of the "young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent,". Job speaks of leviathan and behemoth, the former who breathed fire and who's armor was inpenetrable, and the latter who could drink up a river and who's tail was like a great cedar of Lebanon. Of course, I don't expect you to believe the Bible, but it WAS written by people who were there, and that is more than anything you have!!!:mp5:

Heterosexuals are disproportionately likely to engage in domestic abuse.
Can you provide some sources to your claims about heterosexuals being disproportionately more likely to engage in violent crime, child molestation etc? Especially, the child molestation one.

Homosexuality isnt a disease and therefore cannot be "cured".

Anencephaly isn't a "disease" either. It can't be "cured", but its causes can be identified and it can be prevented. All genetic and/or developmental defects will eventually be identifiec and prevented.

In particular, the genetic and/or developmental defects that result in sexual deviants will be identified, and soon thereafter corrected. No sane parent wants to produce a genetic dead-end. Sexual deviance will be removed from the human genome, and sexual deviants will become one with the dodo. Bye-bye, "gay culture." :)

BTW: the occurrence of same-sex behavior among animals just goes to show that whatever genetic errors contribute to it arose pretty far back in time.

Charles Darwin theorised the theory of evolution based upon observational evidence of the genetics of plants. When his theory was investigated, it was found to explain a number of things in the world scientifically, and an extention of what could be clearly seen to be going on with the breeding of animals and the like made perfect sence. The bible was writted thousands of years ago, by a number of different authors, all of whom could have been symbolic in their writing, or simply writing some of the world's first fiction. It didn't help that a lot of it was passed down in a huge version of chinese whispers, and translated several times. I prefer to trust a viable theory the proof of which is self-evident (although I am open to anything that would suggest that it is wrong), rather than some old book, the equivelent of which is owned by almost every religion.

1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Man enters at day six... So who were there at day one?

Actually, I expect that they won't. Many parents don't care about their child's sexuality, or more precisely, don't mind about it. That, and the non-sexual methods of reproduction, make me think that homosexuality will not be eradicated through parents wanting "straight" children. Though hopefully we can get rid of gay culture... and incorporateit into normal culture instead.

I didn't read all 13 or more pages of replies, but I do have a response to the initial statement.

Homosexuality isn't some disease that can be cure, but if you must view it as such, then its a disease that must be cured by changing society and pretty much outlawing it, which will do no good. Basically, it's just personal preference. Some guys like thin girls, others like heavier ones. Some girls like guys with big, bulging muscles, others want whimpy guys. So is it any surprise some girls like other girls or guys like other guys? If they can be happy, then let them be. Isn't that the purpose of life, to find happiness?

Also, homosexuals don't choose not to reproduce. Some of them go out and seek ways of having children, whether it be adoption or surrogate mothers/fathers. That negates your reproduction argument.

FYI, I would *never* abort a child because he/she was somehow proven to be homosexual. What makes you even think people would do that?? (People other than your ilk, that is).

Anencephaly isn't a "disease" either. It can't be "cured", but its causes can be identified and it can be prevented. All genetic and/or developmental defects will eventually be identifiec and prevented.

True... the cures are worse than the so-called disease, although to be honest that isn't exactly hard; its like saying being heterosexual is a curable disease, ie unscientific bollocks.

I have problems with homosexuality on moral grounds, but there is no way anyone should ever make it illegal or deny homosexuals rights.

Edit: If it is your opinion that homosexuality is not a disease, you are making a medical/scientific assumption. That's fine if that's what you believe, but it's very akin to Christians saying that the world was created 6000 years ago (IE, it's based on personal belief, not scientific method).

I think it's vital that we get some common ground on this issue. Homosexuals often times want to change the beliefs of Christians or Muslims when their beliefs are based on writings they basically have no control over. What needs to be addressed is a social stace on these issues, not people's personal beliefs.

The problem with that being that the social stance is affected and changed by the personal beliefs of the members of that society; I can accept your view, and you can accept my homosexuality, and we can get along, as the personal belief of one is not inflicted on the other.

I got nothing against homosexuals having rights. I haven't read all the rights, so I'm not sure if all of them apply to them, but, sure, they can have rights. But I also believe that, assuming the human race can survive another millenia or two, we will be able to locate the cause of homosexuality and cure it, and I believe that this is beneficial to society.Actually, I remember this same stance being advocated by some republican or another a while back - they think that since it is about 'helping' to cure a 'disease', it is more palatable to the public than saying that homosexuals are evil. So basically they were trying to use it to eliminate homosexuality without getting a lot of flak for hating on them - they just want to help, don't you see?

The social stance in progressive countries such as those in western Europe is increasingly positive. There are still minorities with negative views and beliefs whether they be religious or simply homophoic but being in the minority they are being more or less ignored on more occasions. While the Christians and Muslims run around screaming that we are evil, dirty and sinful people deserving of death there will be fence sitters swayed to that point of view through scaremongery.

I have done lots of research and all un bias scientific studies suggest that while to some people homosexuality might meet the dictionary defintion as a pathological condition of a part, organ, or system of an organism resulting from various causes, such as infection, genetic defect, or environmental stress, and characterized by an identifiable group of signs or symptoms. it should not be classed as one because not enough is understood.

I think that, by and large, the reason for Christian Conservatives being such believers in the social control of government is not because of their faith, but because of their fear (this is coming from a former Christian conservative). Christianity constantly preaches against fear, but a lot of Christians tend to "look at the waves" (a little inside Christian lingo there) and run to the skirts of Government for cover. They say things like "We must protect the sanctity of Marriage" as if God is constrained or confined by the laws of men. What is needed is a certain degree of reciprocity and courage in our political system. If we as Christians, really are right, won't the future and God bear us out? All we need to do is use simple nonviolent dialogue to forward our opinions. Government is a machine of coersion, and should only be used when necessary to protect us personally.

Homosexuals, as well, need to understand that, if they attack people's faith directly, they're going to have a much harder time of it than if they simply fight for their own rights. Just my opinion.

Can you provide some sources to your claims about heterosexuals being disproportionately more likely to engage in violent crime, child molestation etc? Especially, the child molestation one. That would be a really nice fact to have when homophobic conservatives claim that the exact opposite is true.
You can use the Uniform Crime stats, or any of the databases and references the FBI cite. Basic crime statistics all support these; homosexuals are disproportionately likely to be VICTIMS of crimes, while simultaneously much less likely to perpetrate.

This is actually an argument that some homophobes used to twist into a justification for their bigotry, believe it or not. Here's how: the crime numbers (both in terms of offending and being victimized) for homosexuals are very similar to the numbers for mentally handicapped individuals. In other words, mentally handicapped people are more likely to be victims of crime, and much less likely to commit crime, and since homosexuals show the same "pattern" there are homophobes who somehow try to use this as "proof" that homosexuality is a defect. Nice, huh?

Most of us have no desire or intention to attack people's faith directly. We'll question them about it until they give us answers but as many just say they don't need to answer them and refuse it does get very frustrating. Many Christians hide behind the cover of their faith instead of admitting real bigotry which is equally frustratying and sometimes you have to try and drag this truth from them.

Anyway any 'attacks' from the LGBT community on Christians and Muslims pale in comparison to the attacks that go the other way.

Yeah, just like how black people would have done much better keeping quiet and being nice and respectful, instead of challenging racists and demanding equal treatment. Or like how women did much better back when they quietly tried to gently convince men to give them equal rights...it's not like being uppity ever got anybody anywhere.

Sorry, but "faith" should ALWAYS be attacked. If a person tries to use superstition to justify violating the human dignity of others, then they deserve zero respect.

I readed an article in new scientist magazine a while back that said being gay could be genetic, and survived despite gays not reproducing, because the recessive gene also seems to increase fertility, so parents with gay children have more children (about 0.5 more i think) than parents of only straight ochildren. so while one of their kids might be gay, another would only get one copy of the gene and therefore have more children. I found it interesting.

How effective do you find the rhetoric, "you're all sinners and going to hell" in convincing others of Christianity? What makes you think it will work any better for you, just because you're "right?"

Edit:So you're saying that, if a person has less than perfect respect for his fellow man, he loses all you respect? A bit of an overreaction if you ask me...

Anyway any 'attacks' from the LGBT community on Christians and Muslims pale in comparison to the attacks that go the other way.

I think we pretty much agree, but the kind of logic, "but they're much worse than we are" is problematic IMO, because it goes through the lens of your personal perspective. I would say that you're right though, but that doesn't mean that rhetoric on both sides shouldn't be toned down.

Let me clarify that I have witnessed it once or twice in grown animals, but only when there was a bunch of males cooped together with little or no females, especially among chickens. The only time I saw females acting unnatural was a hen that humped a rooster. Not exactly homosexual, but very confused nonetheless. Y'all have still yet to prove homosexuality is natural among animals or humans.Um...if you've witnessed it happening in nature, that makes it natural, since natural = occurring in nature.

You are forgetting humans minds are much more advanced than animals'. We can "invent" new ways to do things that were never meant to happen. Who says they were never meant to happen? Perhaps they were meant to happen, and that's why we invented them?

Sin was never meant to exist in this world. But alas, the Great Deciever fixed that problem in the Garden of Eden, using our very first ancestors. Don't be silly. Everybody knows that humans are the product of Zeus reproducing with the invisible pink unicorn, and that Soldor the Magic Leprechaun tricked humans using fairy dust.

And before you Great and Mighty Evolutionist Know-It-All's crucify me, I offer you a challenge (which is also open to the homo's). When you can find documents and manuscripts written by those who lived in times where there were animals in transitionary stages, or research that proves homosexuality is a biological makeup, I might listen to you.Who's to say that humans have been writing during the time that animals have been in transitionary stages? Perhaps it takes millions of years? Or perhaps the so-called "new species" that are occasionally "discovered" are simply animals that are in the process of transition?

I find it rather disturbing to know millions of people on this globe actually believe in the theory of evolution (which in reality, is no more than a hypothesis). Much like the theory of gravity. It's awfully disturbing how many people believe in that.

I think it rather conveinient for you to say dinos existed before humans...billions of years ago. It's because you have no answers!! YOU KNOW NOTHING!!! The Bible speaks in Isaiah 30:6 of the "young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent,". Job speaks of leviathan and behemoth, the former who breathed fire and who's armor was inpenetrable, and the latter who could drink up a river and who's tail was like a great cedar of Lebanon. Of course, I don't expect you to believe the Bible, but it WAS written by people who were there, and that is more than anything you have!!!:mp5:Uh...the Bible was written by people who wrote of events (at least) one or two centuries after the fact.

As for the "Homosexuality is unnatural, nay, teh 3v1l!!!1"-people:

Prove it´s unnatural. Seems to me that this thread alone contains enough information indicating the contrary, and some research on your own (reading books and thingys, thinking for yourself once in a while and stuff) might further prove that point.
So, please present me with scientific evidence that homosexuality is not natural.
BTW, car tires are most definitively not natural. Shall we abolish, oh, so sorry, 'cure' them, too?
