You have no idea how much it says that there is an atheist willing to discuss his beliefs You show that atheists can be sensible civilized people
Regarding homosexuality : sexual orientation is determined
at birth and is not something one chooses therefore
I disagree with this statement Please provide evidence for it
The physical act of sodomy is not exclusive to gays and many straight men engage in it when having intercourse with straight women
Sodomy is condemned biblically either way although sodomy in the bible means any ultra taboo sexually pervasive act
And although it is true that straight couples can commit sodomy homosexuals have too by simple being homosexual
Is true that it is not conducive to procreation but this would only be an issue if actually pre dominant amongst the general population but it is not however
Not now no. Give it another 400 years
Evidence indicates that there
is a correlation between the level
of testosterone a woman receives during
pregnancy and the sexual orientation of the child
[ a boy exposed to low levels more likely to be gay : a
boy exposed to high levels more likely to be straight : and
the same for girls ] No one chooses their sexuality : did you choose
yours ? But if you could why would you opt for homosexuality given that
society has been and even now - though better - homophobic ? Why would
anyone choose that ? You quote The Bible but only Christians are obliged to follow
it : I am not a Christian any more. Though I do believe in certain tenets of Scripture : The
Golden Rule : The Seven Commandments : The Sermon On The Mount : The Parables : though
I interpret these as articles of humanitarianism and not religious doctrine. What makes you think that the
world s population will become pre dominantly homosexual in four centuries time - have any evidence for this ?
Even if it is true : why would that be such a problem anyway especially given the rate of rapid growth as it currently
is ? Would it not be advantageous economically and socially ? And do you make any distinction between active and passive
homosexuals or is ihat simply academic ? In other words is it just the sexual act that you object to or being homosexual per se ?
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
