Let your gentle {spirit} be known to all men. The Lord is near.

I'm no bible basher and I've certainly never read it, but as pro-gay as I am, a little outsider like me kinda felt like butting in.

You say homosexuality isn't natural and that God meant for a man and a woman to be together. Okay, well he said nothing about homosexuality in animals. Did you know that close to 1500 species of animals practice some sort of homosexual action? I bet you also didn't know that homosexuality in animals was cited in the Lawrence v. Texas case which struck down sodomy laws in thirteen states, thus legalizing same-sex activity all across the nation. Tell me one more time that homosexuality isn't a natural occurrence.

The Bible outlaws homosexuality as an "abomination", but happens to condone outlandish practices today such as slavery, polygamy and the subjugation of women. While polygamy is still practiced today in some cultures, everyone knows freedom of slaves and women's rights were fought for successfully a long time ago. Are they natural? Yes, but does that make them accepted in today's society? I don't think so!

I'm also pretty sure the Bible outlaws masturbation, but I'm sure every single person in this thread has masturbated at least once. Not natural enough? Okay, well what if I told you that masturbation is an accepted practice in male horses? And that bonobos and dolphins, two animals who have both been proven to experience sexual pleasure as humans do, often rub against objects to stimulate themselves?

Lol, I also love how this topic went from "do you be leave in god" to "natural vs. pro-gay argument".

PS: screw you for making me open a million more tabs than I already have open qq

Welcome to religious discussion.

You know, to me you can be anything, Agnostic, Atheist, Believer, whatever.

But once you try to spread, preach, or impose your thoughts onto someone else, you've lost quite a bit of my caring.

We can't be sure if we'll reincarnate or if we'll just cease to be, So I just choose to leave that definition open until the day I actually discover myself.

Either way, Life's all about making the most out of the time you have - (fuck yolo, seriously, that shit is stupid). Spending useful time on an offensive discussion like that of religion just doesn't cut it for me.

This is basically how I feel about topics like this most of the time, thank you, Luka.

What the fuck does this even have to do with the topic.

And thank you, Skeleton and Wolfie, for this- I was going to say something like it myself. This topic asks "do you believe in god," although relatively butchered in terms of spelling but the idea is there, and is not supposed to be a discussion about why you're right and someone else is wrong. If this is absolutely necessary, a new topic can be made, but please try to keep this to the original topic (and I believe anyone who is going to answer it probably already has).

Thanks.

Just so most of you can get this on your minds:

I don't hate homosexual people, I don't approve homosexual conduct

God designed sex to be between a male and female, read Genesis; 1:27-28, Levictus; 18:22, Proverbs; 5:18-19

It's true that it's natural to have sexual desires, and all people have free will, they can do whatever they want.

Hopefully this won't need a new topic for this, because I'm done with this.

Ta-ta

[Hyouka]

So I think it is safe to assume some people believe in god right?

[Ysera]

IT's safe to say we should forget this topic.

[Amethyst]

I'll go ahead and lock it.

[Ikaru]

I didn't think it necessarily had to be locked, but alrighty then.
