God must have condoned it, otherwise we wouldn't find it in so many species other than humans throughout the world. And don't give me the whole, Adam ate an apple, the world fell into sin, so animals became homosexuals bit. That is as absurd as believing the earth is 6,000 years old.
As far as I remember the literal genesis account says that God set man higher above the animals. Man, animals, different. See?
If man were like animals they'd be humping everyone's leg, peeing on furniture, and eating barf, so they'd have to be neutered.
I think it's patently obvious based on the countless homosexuality threads that the issue of homosexuality being "clearly" against God is a falsehood that you would be wise to stop spreading. There are 2 verses in the Bible vaguely mentioning same sex relationships, but they are neither addressed to us in the 21st century, nor are they explicit in their target of condemnation. The Bible is far more clear that the authors considered the Earth to be geocentric and flat, yet we can without a doubt state that they were wrong on that matter. So why are you so quick to claim case closed on an issue drenched in ambiguity and misinterpretation?
So I guess this means that since some animals eat their weak young that its ok for people to do that too (rollseyes.)
Huh....almost sounds like a threat.
So I guess that means NOTHING in scripture is valid since NONE of it was written to us in the 21st century....guess having sex with my sister is a go
Fallacious nonsense.
There is no ambiguity except for someone who doesnt WANT to see the plain fact that in EVERY instance presented in scripture that same gender sex is condemned....
Animals like to hump lamps, trees, other species of animals (Dogs on cats is always entertaining) and a long list of other things....guess its ok for men who OUGHT to have some sort of intelligence to to the same based on your logic, correct?
Nuff said.
Humans are animals. The only reason most of us don't take part in "feral behavior" is because we have higher intellegence and reasoning than the rest of the animal kingdom, and have created socities designed to protect our interests. That doesn't mean biologically we are any different from the rest of the animal kingdom. You just find it convenient to use this argument, because the fact that a large percentage of the animals on Earth ( including humans) exert homosexual behavior is indicative of homosexuality being part of God's creation.
Again...animals also like to have sex with OTHER species...is it your claim that we human 'animals' are ok doing the same since you like to argue that since animals do it then God is ok with man doing it ?
So I guess this means that since some animals eat their weak young that its ok for people to do that too (rollseyes.)
I thought man was a bit above brute animals that live to eat and have sex.....well, or hump lamps and chair legs....hey maybe we should do that too...
Did you get the part about the different 'flesh"? I noticed that you didn't address that part. Um... care to cite an example of any animal that has sex with other species that it percieves as a different species?
A simple reading of Genesis also shows that the ancient Hebrews believed the earth was flat, geocentric, had a giant dome over it holding the stars, and that there was a flood covering the entire Earth during the pinnacle of Egyptian civilization. All of which are quit solidly shown to be false. A simple reading of Genesis proves nothing.
Humans are above animals. But we are still regulated by the same drives as animals. If God gave a drive to animals, and gave the same drive to humans, it seems difficult to reason that he is OK with one such drive, and not with the other.I guess you don't believe in 1 Corinthians either.
Humans are above animals. Their being created as a likeness of god proves that.
BTW- Yes, I like this argument because is scriptural.
Its hilarious to see arguments like 'animals do it so we can too' since a lot of animals also eat their own feces....hardly anything I plan on doing, but it would seemingly be acceptable if we're going to compare man to animals to find what IS acceptable behavior.
