ive broken your issues down into two topics, biblical reason and common sense reason (since your aren't a christian)
I'm breaking your arguments down into ONE topic, it's called 'wrong'.
Quote:Homosexuality is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reason: Repeated over and over again in both testaments. The bible calls homosexuality an "abomination"
Common sense reason: 1. The pervasive act of homosexuality is a stepping stone to much worse sexual acts.
2. Homosexuality prevents pro-creation
3. Homosexuality highly increases chances of catching a disease
Bible: You can't bum your neighbour but you can keep him as a slave.
Common Sense:
1. Bullshit. Show me one single study which supports your preposterous claims. Also please define what you think are 'worse sexual acts'.
2. If the whole world becomes gay, WHERE DO THE BABIES COME FROM? This is essentially your point right? Can you not see how completely and utterly stupid this is? Besides, slowing down population growth in a way in which offers no harm to other people cannot be a bad thing in the overpopulated world we are living in.
3. Again prove it. Show me some facts to back up this absurd claim.
Quote:Drinking is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reason: Not much. All of the major biblical figures consumed alcohol. Drunkenness and addiction is said to be wrong, but not alcohol itself.
Common sense reason: Drinking can easily elevate into an addiction, an addiction that can destroy your relationship and bank account.
Bible: Jesus was a raging piss head who threw a mahoosive party on his last night before he went and got put up on a cross.
Common Sense: You can get addicted to food, you can get fat. You can die from getting too fat. Let's say, NOO FOOOD!
^
Retarded huh? Certainly NOT common sense.
It's not about drinking, it's about moderation. You said yourself alcohol is not wrong. Besides what people do with their money is their business and if it ruins relationships then that is down to their own faulty will and not booze.
Quote:Divorce is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reason: When you make the covenant of marriage before god, you accept responsibility for your wife. You can't quite on a responsibility. (It should be noted that divorce is excused in the bible under certain conditions)
Common sense reason: Divorces are messy, unpleasant affairs. The psychological affects it can have on children is devastating. Ultimately, it is usually easier to just tough it out through a rough patch.
Bible: Putting on a ring and saying a few words means you love your wife forever blah blah blah.
Common Sense: Things change. People change. Mistakes are made. Sometimes two people think they love each other one moment but they can fall out and hate each other down the road. Keeping together two people for the sake of 'marriage' is unfair on those two people. Oh and don't bring children into the equation, forcing people who are at each others throats together under the same roof can be more damaging to a child who simply has his parents move out and get on with life like the adults they are. The seperation of a married couple does not mean they love their children any less. Forcing a child to sit there and watch their supposedly 'loving mummy and daddy' argue all the time can be far more damaging than having them simply separate.
Quote:
Premarital sex is wrong
---------------------------
Biblical reasoning: God says to remain pure of heart, mind, and soul. The bible says that sex is a beautiful act that should be saved for someone you've made a devotion to.
Common sense: I dont need to tell you how many lives have been destroyed by an unwanted pregnancy, or STDs. This can be many times more destructive in youth years. Innocence should be cherished. Would you want your children having sex with other children? Sex always makes relationships more complicated.
Bible: Sex advice from a bunch of asexuals.
Common Sense:
This is a choice which people deserve the right to make for themselves. STD's and unwanted pregnancy are not down to pre-marital sex. They are down to idiots who don't use proper protection. How about a 16 year old girl getting married, they can have sex right? Would you class them as a child or an adult?
Also could you please elaborate on how sex makes a relationship more complicated. Sounds like steaming turd to me.
Quote:And there you have it; a few reasons as to why your girlfriend believes what she does. If you would like more, or would like me to elaborate, please ask.
All of this is fucking pointless and entirely besides the point of the OP.
