I know. Rather than answer the question, he just puts people on his ignore list. It really says something about you and your religion when the best way to maintain your faith is to ignore people who disagree with you.

And it doesn't answer the question at all. I mean, the Koran is not only filled with people killing each other, but it's filled with Allah telling people to kill others. Clearly, if you were to believe this holy book, you would believeAllah wants good people to kill bad people. And that would actually make sense, except that Allah is also all powerful. If Allah did the killing himself, instead of demanding his chosen people do it, a tremendous amount of confusion would be cleared up.

What's more, all powerful Allah hasn't lifted a finger to say anything about all the other killing being done in his name. I mean, those IED's in Iraq? Allah didn't care about those enough to stop them. The 9/11 attacks? Allah didn't stop those, either. The kinda constant religious wars between one sect of Islam and another in the middle east? Allah could easily come in there, settle things in an instant and put an end to the bloodshed; he does nothing. The Isreal/Palestine conflict? So far, I haven't seen Allah do anything to prevent it.

Seems to me that hell-bound atheists value human life more than Allah or even Yahweh, for that matter.

Yes, even-though sex with other men is a crime (punished by death)

It is the same as saying we all have anger or evil inside us,
only who follows that anger and commits a crime will be punished

So, if you follow your desire for the same sex, you will be punished.

Or someone who thinks about it, don't forget that.

AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
What is sexual orientation?
Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, or both sexes. Sexual orientation also refers to a person’s sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions. Research over several decades has demonstrated that sexual orientation ranges along a continuum, from exclusive attraction to the other sex to exclusive attraction to the same sex. However, sexual orientation is usually discussed in terms of three categories: heterosexual (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to members of the other sex), gay/lesbian (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to members of one’s own sex), and bisexual (having emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to both men and women).

Homosexual Behavior Largely Shaped By Genetics And Random Environmental Factors
June 30, 2008 — Homosexual behaviour is largely shaped by genetics and random environmental factors, according to findings from the world's largest study of twins.

Writing in the scientific journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, researchers from Queen Mary's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm report that genetics and environmental factors (which are specific to an individual, and may include biological processes such as different hormone exposure in the womb), are important determinants of homosexual behaviour.
Dr Qazi Rahman, study co-author and a leading scientist on human sexual orientation, explains: "This study puts cold water on any concerns that we are looking for a single 'gay gene' or a single environmental variable which could be used to 'select out' homosexuality - the factors which influence sexual orientation are complex. And we are not simply talking about homosexuality here - heterosexual behaviour is also influenced by a mixture of genetic and environmental factors.
The team led by Dr Niklas Långström at Karolinska Institutet conducted the first truly population-based survey of all adult (20-47 years old) twins in Sweden. Studies of identical twins and non-identical, or fraternal, twins are often used to untangle the genetic and environmental factors responsible for a trait. While identical twins share all of their genes and their entire environment, fraternal twins share only half of their genes and their entire environment. Therefore, greater similarity in a trait between identical twins compared to fraternal twins shows that genetic factors are partly responsible for the trait.
This study looked at 3,826 same-gender twin pairs (7,652 individuals), who were asked about the total numbers of opposite sex and same sex partners they had ever had. The findings showed that 35 per cent of the differences between men in same-sex behaviour (that is, that some men have no same sex partners, and some have one or more) is accounted for by genetics.
Rahman explains: "Overall, genetics accounted for around 35 per cent of the differences between men in homosexual behaviour and other individual-specific environmental factors (that is, not societal attitudes, family or parenting which are shared by twins) accounted for around 64 per cent. In other words, men become gay or straight because of different developmental pathways, not just one pathway."
For women, genetics explained roughly 18 per cent of the variation in same-sex behaviour, non-shared environment roughly 64 per cent and shared factors, or the family environment, explained 16 per cent.
The study shows that genetic influences are important but modest, and that non-shared environmental factors, which may include factors operating during foetal development, dominate. Importantly, heredity had roughly the same influence as shared environmental factors in women, whereas the latter had no impact on sexual behaviour in men.
Dr Rahman adds: "The study is not without its limitations - we used a behavioural measure of sexual orientation which might be ok to use for men (men's psychological orientation, sexual behaviour, and sexual responses are highly related) but less so for women (who show a clearer separation between these elements of sexuality). Despite this, our study provides the most unbiased estimates presented so far of genetic and non-genetic contributions to sexual orientation."

Ahh...thanks Missluckie. So it's not all genetic?

Is that a question or a statement? Because this is a question thread after all. And I'm not apologizing for anything in the Qur'an, I'm not a pacifist cunt.

Correct. Just a garden variety cunt.

According to what I've found, it's both genetic and outside factors that lead to one's sexuality, and it's possible to move up and down that scale.

But once you've married them, you can rape them to your hearts content.

"A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, while other sexual acts such as foreplay, rubbing, and kissing are allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man's four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl's sister." Ayatollah Khomeni
