Could you post the Bible passage where God orders that women who aren't virgins when they marry be stoned to death? I really want to hear some more inspiring wisdom from the Almighty. Oh, and also the line where God tells Moses to slaughter whole villages, including infants, please. There are also a few passages where he forces abortions and miscarriages, but I'm too "spiritually out of [my] league" to find them.
To both the left's an the right's chagrin, I'm sure sexuality is pretty dang fluidic. I don't think it is set in stone nor do I think people are "cursed" with a certain direction form birth.
I don't think people can be "cured" of homosexuality nor do I think people are born homosexual.
I agree. I think our choices can indirectly influence our sexuality, however. I should not say "I think". Our choices actually do indirectly influence our sexuality. In some instances, it can be direct.
It is pretty much something you said to me years ago in the GDF.
I think it boils down to comfort. Whatever you feel comfortable with, eventually becomes your...thing?
The problem is, we (society) don't do a great job of allowing people to do what people feel the most comfortable with. That sounds odd because coming out is usually not "comfortable". But that's the problem: it should be no big deal and no one should really have to "come out".
I don't even understand why people model their beliefs on the matter on their ideology or political system.
Whether or not homosexuality is genetic or nurtured is a question of the biological and neurological sciences, and how our bodies work. The truth may influence morality, but it certainly shouldn't be influenced by what people want nature to give us.
Isn't calling homosexuality perverse an assumption based on your subjective opinion?
Also, what are you basing this on. I know a LOT of homosexuals, and work for an organization with thousands of them. The biggest insecurities usually revolve around societal oppression, not anything intrinsic to their orientation.
And even if you're right, what's the point? What are you trying to say with this?
From what I read, sexual orientation is an outlet for one's psyche. Foot fetishism and homosexuality were reflective of the aforementioned, whereas pedophilia and zoophilia implied a more psychotic mindset.
