The Homophobic Double Standard

They certainly do work here because like homosexuality, they are sexual orientation deviances.

Of course they won't, but why would certain straight people want to live in a society that accepts the homosexual lifestyle? Would you want to live somewhere that allows what you deem to be veritable immorality?

Didn't Deleware have an age of consent of 7? The truth is that when girls reached the age of puberty back then, they were considered women. No wonder it wasn't until the 19th century that the first piece of Western censure against the marriage arose.

Your suggestion that the Prophet married a young girl to please any deviant sexual fancies is a totally unfounded assertion- one based on Western ethnocentrism.

 

I'm not trying to take your precious green god away from you.

And thus... WORLD WAR III!

 

Some people are naturally attracted to the same sex. You appear to have difficulty grasping this. They're secondary caretakers who provide able bodies and resources to a population without burdening it with more mouths to feed.

Please explain how homosexuality is in any way detrimental to society. You keep saying this, but you never say why you think so.

Pedophillia hurts people. Same sex couples don't. If the only difference from typical sexuality shared by the two you see is that they're both uncommon, there's something wrong with you. It's like claiming that eating beef and eating human flesh are similar because both are meats.

I don't care if my heart is normal as long as it doesn't harm me or inconvenience me. "Normal" is not a valuable thing.

 

Goomba is a Muslim who is speaking from from a religious perspective.

I apologize for making this post Goomba, I just thought he should know so that would clear things up for him. i wasn't trying to be insulting.

 

One example, yes.

Yours is essentially and uneducated (even canned) response. In this forum I've explained why that is at leas 100 times in different ways. So be it.

In any case, do you have a problem with homosexuality or people who happen to be? And if so, how do you actually deal with it?

That's a personal issue; yours... not someone else's.

That's stupid. Get some more education.

Which has WHAT to do with YOU or any other human being?

(See the above.)

You do need 'understanding', as opposed to mere knowledge. And that isn't something I can simply 'impart' unto you; that's up to YOU.

 

LGBT folks pay 'taxes' too.

 

Where did you get your psych degree?

 

Fact.

I agree.

Yep.

A lot of people do that; their best response to homosexuality simply equates to being something that they 'themselves' don't like.

Fact.

Very reasonable.

Great points ALL!!

 

All sexual orientation is a deviation. If you are sexually attracted to people who are older than you or younger, if you are attracted beasts, red hair, hairy armpits. If most people aren't attracted to something you are, you are a deviation by the definition you presented. All deviations aren't equal. Fur example somebody being sexually attracted to a different race or the same sex isn't as bad as somebody being sexually attracted to babies. So if all deviations are orientations, all people are deviant, and if the norm is deviant, than it's deviant to be abnormal.

The usage of words like deviant without context is circular logic.

Moral relativism is garbage. If you deem something immoral that you can't logically reason, you are wrong. And if you can't live in a society that doesn't adhere to moral relativism, you know where the door is.

 

One doesn't need a psyche degree to observe such facts.

The brain is a biological organism, and thoughts occur due to electrical impulses in the brain.

What do you think they are, magic?

 

If you are observing facts prove them.

Wow, okay. The brain isn't an organism, it's an organ that is part of an organism.

What do I think what is? what is the they you are referring too?

 

Romans 1:26-27 - [26] Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. [27] In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

I understand just fine.

 

What does a passage from a fictional book have to do with anything?

 

I see what you believe; and I'm not trying to change that. It is for you to interpret and live by.

So be it.

 

There are a LOT of Bible believers that are hung-up (obsessed with) homosexuality. All I know is that something is absolutely wrong with that, especially considering all that is going on in this world.

I'm sick of the horrible attitudes and behaviors of some Christians (and others). If they aren't going to be reasonable and tolerate (be decent toward) others... then what is it they should expect in return?

 

Who keeps pictures on their desk anymore?

 

Whether it's natural or not is irrelevant. The fact is that it is a significant abnormality of the brain.

The same reason why acting on bestiality is morally detrimental to society. It's just that you have been persuaded into thinking that acting on homosexuality is morally fine, hence why you wouldn't consider it to be harmful in any way.

How does pedophilia hurt people?

It's not that they're uncommon, but that they're all sexual orientation deviances. You just reasoned yourself into thinking that one of them is OK.

Well, some people care about the health of their bodies, as they do about the morality of their societies.

What does secular liberalism have to do with anything?

- - - Updated - - -

I'm actually speaking from both religious and secular perspectives, depending on the context.

 

Apparently hating 'the other' is.

There's our doomed society in a nutshell.

 

Pedophilia causes child sexual abuse that has been shown to cause a lot of misery and distress in victims. Animals cannot consent, therefore bestiality is rape.

If you think that being in a relationship with an adult human of the same sex is comparable to these, you are not capable of reasoning.

Your "Morality" consists of a bunch of entirely arbitrary edicts. Why shouldn't you eat pork? God says so. Why shouldn't you date the same sex? God says so. So on, so forth. There's no actual reasoning behind them. There's no secular perspective to this. They're entirely ridiculous and it's impossible to provide a reason for them without resorting to religion.

I don't do morals. I do ethics. Morality is the art of making up arbitrary rules. Ethics is the art of considering how an action impacts other people.

 

Many people who sit long hours at a desk, tend to. I saw that in the military 'daily'.

It could be a digital frame, the small ones I've seen... oh, and the screen savers on a PC monitor.

 

Not something I encounter. People have their pictures on their phones or log on and show it from IG or FB if you are not already following/friends. I only have a couple photos in my whole house and those were given to me already framed by someone who couldn't stand that I had no photos in my house.

 

Yes, in modern times. I'm sure that Greek children didn't grow up having emotional scars.

Rape is unconsensual sex. It's not even an issue about unconsensual sex, but that of sexual orientation deviances.

I don't care about "relationships," but sexual orientation abnormalities.

Actually, there can be secular reasons behind them, and I have demonstrated that here. But God's Word is enough.

Ethics is pointless without morals.

 

Why does it matter if a thing is abnormal if there's no negatives to it? Abnormality is not inherently bad.

All of the "Secular reasons" you've given have been horse(*)(*)(*)(*). A few vague scare words without any actual reasoning.

 

I do. Many of my co-workers do as well.

 

You would be wrong. I am NOT a part of the 1.6%, and I do give a flying crap.
