Marcel said:The Bible claims that God is opposed to homosexuality, but gives no proper reason why. It's this lack of reason, that makes the alledged objections unreasonable by definition.
FOMWatts<>< said:What??? No good reason? It gives a pretty good one in my opinion...
Leviticus 18:4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God.
Sounds like a pretty good reason to me.

You follow ALL of the laws and decrees, FOMWatts? What was the purpose again of the laws given to the children of Israel and why no mention of lesbianism in this law?

FOMWatts<>< said:Actually, that is exactly my point, no I do not follow every law and commandment of God, but I do repent when I break one, and my point was that we do not have to have a reason from God, because HE IS GOD. That is the reason, He made us and those are HIS rules. Why would the CREATOR owe the creation an explanation? He doesn't. He also gives the reason that it is detestable in His eyes, which happen to be the only eyes that matter. I think the whole topic is silly because we, as man, make homosexuality out to be a WORSE sin than any other, and to be quite honest I have more of a problem with a liar than I do a gay person. God however does not see thigns as I do, He hates ALL sin and ALL sin separates us from His love. Jesus Christ builds the bridge across that separation and no sin is worse than the other, it is all reason enough for us to be condemned, thank God He is more merciful than that.

Yes, they had the right to overule it. All they have basically done is made it illegal to catch people in their houses having incest or homo love.
If you want to know something that only humans do, and animals in nature don't... uphold religious beliefs. Homosexuality however, has been shown to occur in the animal kingdome.Extirpated Wildlife said:Marcel,
This is immoral, depending on who you talk to. Two guys going at it is not a natural behavior.
So the thought of (yup), (youbetcha) and (that too) grosses you out. Does that justify anything? No. Nobody is forcing you to do any of that.I don't think we have to go into the intricate details as to why. Besides that is not allowed here.
God created the sexual functions between a man and a woman. They work very naturally that way too. God created these sexual functions for procreation and at the same time a bonus pleasure between them.So if there's no natural need for it, it's morally objectable? What's so natural about posting on a bullitinboard through the internet,
Wrong, false, and incorrect to boot. Check out the links.It is man who has created what was natural into something unnatural and finds it ok.
