How would you react to a gay person who found you TOTALLY repulsive ?

[MTL]

The practice of designating the term "pervert" to homosexuality, always kind of puzzled me... So I can't but scoff at anyone who is so unsophisticated and emotionally adolescent as to presume to designate a fellow human "perverse"..simply for the insignificant, negligible triviality of both partners being of the same gender...

What is unsophisticated and immature is looking only to the satisfaction of sensual desires as the source of happiness and emotional fulfillment.

Who says that's their only source of happiness or emotional fulfillment?  Who said that?  I didn't.

Perversity is the abuse or misdirection of any natural function, physical, emotional or intellectual.
Turning natural desires away from their proper ends is perversion of those desires.

Right, right, Chad...so wearing clothes is a perversion, then.  Taking medicine for sickness is a perversion.
Flying in airplanes is perverse.  Clipping your nails and cutting your hair and shaving your face, are perverse.
Resisting the urge to murder the guy who raped your daughter is perverse.  Driving cars is perverse.

Come on, man.

Are you opposed to birth control, too?

You talk about "natural functions" but yet in our world people constantly divide things into categories of what is "natural" or "man-made".

If you go by that standard, everything man does could be deemed "unnatural" aside from sleeping, eating, pooping, fucking, breathing, giving birth, and dying.

Many species alter their environments to suit their purposes.

Humans just do it at a far more sophisticated level, that's all
....for a human, cooperating with other humans
to develop plastics and metals and building materials to build a house,
is no different than an ant cooperating with other ants to build an ant-hill.

We only dub man-made alterations to the environment as "unnatural"
because of our self-centric way of looking at the world.

And likewise, because we are more sophisticated creatures, our sexuality is more sophisticated.

This is the issue I've always had with the religious repression of human sexuality...not just homosexuality,
but all sexuality...no sex before marriage, modesty, yadda yadda.

Look, Chad:

I'm Agnostic.  I allow that there may or may not be a God.

But even if God DOES exist,
I think that Religion and God very likely have NOTHING to do with each other,

So my question to you is,
if it someday turns out that God DOES in fact exist,
but has NOTHING to do with your religion,
and your chosen Holy Writ is wrong,

how do you know but what homosexuality is actually PART of God's design,
but in a grander evolutionary scheme?

maybe it's not as simple as saying that
"only men and women should have sex...because that's how you make babies"

...maybe that's a rather hamfisted view of God's Design.

Maybe in obeying Christianity, you're actually offending God.

Maybe in criticizing what YOU think is "natural" or "unnatural" about homosexuality,
you are actually criticizing God's Design, for all you know.

Maybe God will someday look at you, Chad:

 ಠ_ಠ

and ask you why you criticized his design?

and why, when other puny, stupid, fallible humans told you
that a given book was the "Inspired Word of God",
you took THEIR word for it,
instead of using the brain that God, Himself, gave you?


After all, homosexuality has repeatedly been well-documented in MANY other species, besides humans.

Or maybe you're a Creationist?  Maybe you believe the world is only a few thousand years old?
