This is why debates around here go up in flames. The point I was making obviously wasn't to compare murder to sodomy. The point is I was using a sort of syllogism to show that simple feelings should not be used as a means of determining justification.selfinflikted said:While I've said this before, obviously it bears repeating. You cannot, for the sake of this argument, compare the actions of a homosexual (the sex act) to the actions of a serial killer.
Since you bring it up: I won't spare you the lecture, because you need to hear it again.SIDEBAR: Spare us the lectures on aids, anal sex, etc. Aids can be prevented with proper condom use, and not all homosexuals engage in anal sex (and some heterosexual couples do).
Of course not all homosexuals engage in sodomy. Lesbians are an example. However, virtually all male homosexuals engage in sodomy, and it has been shown that there are roughly twice as many male homosexuals as female.
Also, HIV is not readily stopped by condoms.

Although encouragement to condom use is prudent in an epidemiological scale, truly safe sex with an HIV-positive partner using condoms is a dangerous illusion.
