Parenthetically posting on an internet forum is demonstrably unnatural, and yet you seem fine with that behaviour, go figure.(December 15, 2024 at 12:39 pm)Thumpalumpacus Wrote: The human species, like all other mammals, has a certainly percentage of homosexual/bisexual members. The fact that homosexuals are a minority in no way implies that their sexuality is unnatural, any more than blue eyes being in the minority means that we with blue eyes are genetically-modified.
That a small percentage of humans behave in an unnatural behavior does not make it "natural" in any moral or practical sense; there would be many crimes that would be "normal" (happen often) that we still would not consider normal.
Quote:Then, too, you're entirely ignoring the fact that you, who claim that your god created everything, must accept that he created homosexuals too. Is any part of your god's creation "unnatural"? How is it your "perfect" god should create these damnable souls? Were they a surprise?It's a fact that some people believe the world is flat, though of course it is also a fact that the world is not flat. And being gay is not a choice people make, that's just homophobic bigotry, that bigotry however is a choice people make, as is the adherence to a religion.
We have already discussed the fact that Christians believe in the concept of free will, I will not be repeating myself.
