On Homosexuality & Religion [Merged]

For me spirituality is about trancend this human state, so everything which is a human way of living must be trancended not just homosexuality.

seriously though? I have every right to be gay but my friends wont even talk to me anymore because its against their religion to be gay. why is it that some religions think its wrong? if someone loves someone shouldnt it not matter what their sexual orientation is?

im only asking this of people whos religions oppose it, but feel free anyone to comment.

Answer me this question...
Were men made to have sex with themselves?
Were women made to have sex with themselves?

That is the same question as, is homosexuality found in nature? The answer is, Yes.

20%... really?

yup.... its been observed in dogs, cats, rats, zebras and elephants... interestingly,, the levels of homosexuality in the so-called lesser orders, such as the birds, reptiles and amphibians, are lower, decreasing as one gets "further down" the scale; it is very low among invertebrates, and unheard of among bacteria..... it would seem that the more complex an organism is, the higher its chances of being homosexual...

wow so im like, far advanced!!! cool!!!

According to the bible? No.

But it is, anyway... So is the Bible being contradicted? 😱 UH-OH!

well it doesn't make sense for the King James bible to contradict homosexuality because King James was a homo himself...among other equally disturbing things. But you are what you are and if you think whatever you do is right then...that's your problem.

The bible is just a book, and it is wrong sometimes.

Speaking as a homosexual, I can say that I have observed that practically every major religion addresses homosexuality. Look at christianity/Judahism, for example. It addresses, supposedly, homosexuality in Genisis. But, when was that writen? 2000+ years ago. So, discounting teh legitimacy of gods rules, we see that homosexuality is as old as religion. What does that mean? That, despite the argument over cause, it is an inherint aspect of human nature. And, we see that most religions ask of their followers that they deny their humanity...in order to acheive eternal approval from god. But, if god created human kind six thousand years ago...then why make it a part of human nature? In that respect, why make sex, straight or gay, feel good? Is it the devil that makes sex feel good? If it is the devil that makes it feel good, then why do we have to do it to breed? If sex didn't feel good, would the concept of marriage exist at all? How many people that ARE married...have sex only to procreate? If god exists in teh fashion that christianity claims, then why create humans at all...only to set the rules in opposition to everything he created?

"why do some religions oppose homosexuality?"

Simple: Idiocy.

Yeah, God gave those "shameful passions".

Then, again, some people don't find these "passions" shameful. Or is there another reason why you used parenthesis?

So are people...

This is just my opinion, I do not wish to offend anyone for any reason. If this statement causes you any pain, you have my sympathy.

I would rather trust fallible humans rather than a book handed down by a false god.

So... are you saying that's it's idiotic? It seems to me that you're just saying that without even looking further into those religions.

I don't need to look into their religions. If their religion includes bigotry and prejudice against homosexuality, and they actually buy into that segment of their religion, then they're idiots.

Anyone who opposes homosexuallity is an idiot simply because their is no logically sound grounds on which to base such intolerances.

Actually... there kind of is.
I think the reason why most religions oppose homosexuality is because it does not promote procreation. So in order for jnr hiphop to avoid being a hypocrite (if he detests homosexuality and I didn't read his posts out of context) then he must not have sex until he is married (if he already isn't) and stay away from his dingly doo. Don't worry jnr hiphop, it's easier than it sounds. Just take a look at me! 😄
