Normal is already known, the world doesn't need me to explain it.
You get left out of the loop?

I got it from everyone elseWorld is not "already known". Normal is entirely based on the opinion of an individual or group of people. You can only define normal from personal opinion regardless of how you reach your conclusion of what it is.
Let me get this straight. Just so I know exactly what you're saying.
You have absolutely no idea what normal is and would like me to explain it to you?
Only the abnormal people.Well evidently you didnt, because there are plenty of people who dont think homosexuality is "abnormal".
One, I never said I was normal and two I have asked, whats wrong with abnormal?This is foolishness. You, Inviolable, consider yourself to be 'normal' and so anyone that sees the world differently than you do is obviously 'abnormal'. A robot that is programmed to respond similarly to another robot would be operating 'normally'. Evidently Inviolable prefers robots. Fortunately, humans are diverse beings just as it should be to make the world go around - even though many of them conform to society's 'norms' if only to be accepted as a 'part of the group'.
I personally appreciate 'abnormal' people. I appreciate the fact that some people are 'gay'. I appreciate the fact that some people accept themselves for who they are.
Overly 'normal' people bore the proverbial ---- out of me (yawn).
The standard run of the mill conversation wont work. I think the kind of communication you want will end abruptly. A little to quick for answers and understanding to be forthcoming. We need the kind dialog that will blow your mind and I dont think you can take it. Or that it will be accepted here.What would you see as a rationalization of homosexuality? What sort of argument are you looking for? I'm afraid I don't understand what you ae saying, and I really would like to establish some kind of communicaiton with you.

I want an understanding. When you think of heterosexual sex, what is it about it that turns you off? Why does it repulse you?
People cant come to terms about anything unless there is an understanding.
I don't think you're capable of providing that. If I did my entire outlook would be different toward homosexuals.
The answer remains. Racists use the bible to justify their personal prejudice in exactly the same way you use the bible… You did ask the question. Which is what racists say about blacks, they are sinners defying God’s law Again exactly what racists say that they can extend love to (correctly behaving blacks) without having the government corrupt the word of God and granting blacks civil rights including legal recognition of interracial marriage. again no different form the rhetoric a racist would use to define marriage to justify discrimination[/color][/size][/font]
are you suggesting that only True Christians™ are those who agree with you?
and this is why it is an abomination to eat shellfish because God and his laws do not change
it is a sin to wear wedding rings because God and his laws do not change
it is a sin to allow people with glasses into a church because God and his laws do not change
it is a sin to wear clothing made of different fabrics because God and his laws do not change
the fact God does not change is why Christians make burnt offerings because God and his laws do not change
we keep slaves because God and his laws do not change
we force rape victims to marry their attacker because God and his laws do not change
that view being polygamous…right?
And when a racist claims he/she is just holding to God’s view of racial equality it must mean that they aren’t prejudice either…right?
You just vote for discrimination and to ensure they are second class citizens. Again how is this any different for a racist who votes against civil rights?
You could rattle on about the subjective matter of defining normal for the next 8 pages, but I'll be nice and define it by my own standard.
I am normal.
I do not have sexual desires.
You all have sexual desires.
Therefore, you're all abnormal by my standard.
Well, could you just introduce us to this 'mind-blowing' debating practice slowly in order to acclimatize us?
No other way then how I personally feel.Are you coming at this subject from a Christian or Bible perspective ...or what?
That's a fair question. I've often wondered WHAT IT IS that repulses someone of same gender preference about the act of sex with someone of the opposite gender. I don't mean to be crass but, to quote one of my university professors, "After all, a hole is a hole." Yes, I can understand someone not being especially interested in sex with someone of the opposite gender but I wonder why they are repulsed by the thought...? Of course, the same question could be asked of heterosexuals and their repulsion toward the thought of 'gay' sex.
Actually, as I've mentioned before, the act of sex PERIOD is a tad 'yukky' when you REALLY think about it. It isn't the most hygienic form of 'pleasure' regardless of who it's done with. I don't know where God's mind was at the day He invented sex. But then, where was God's mind at the day He created the duck-billed platypus, the giraffe, the camel, the elephant, the hippo . . . . . .?
Well, on the one hand a 'gay' person knows that they're 'gay' and, while it's not exactly 'normal', as you say, it's normal for THEM. Some come to terms with that fact. Some don't. And, society in general and Christianity specifically doesn't for the most part accept the fact that someone is 'gay'. So, for many It's a case of living in a world of pulling and shoving and, for some - even many - how CAN they possibly come to terms with something that can be most confusing to them?
I'm pretty sure I understand what sexuality is all about and I still think homosexuality is abnormal, you were pretty general in just about everything you said. Kind of like a poet trying to express nothing.It seems to me that your outlook toward homosexuals might be to acknowledge that you DON'T understand what human sexuality is all about and therefore just let it alone. You need not embrace homosexuality but you can live with it and accept it as being 'normal' relative to the individual in question. The sun will still rise tomorrow on a world whose general attitude seems to be, "I have to try to screw you before you try to screw me".

Huh?You should prolly read his post again where he said that anyone with any sexual desires was abnormal.
Just couldn't wait to get that shot off about pedophilia huh?

I think she was referring to my post. Some Christians believe there is some kind of link between homosexuality and pedophilia. Thus they thus they try to make their case against homosexuality based upon this misconception. From what I have read there is just a small margin of difference between homosexual pedophiles and heterosexual pedophiles, not really enough of a difference to indicate that either is more prone to pedophilia more than the other.
My guess is that she thought my comment was one of those trying to link the two. For the record it was not.
