This is when I asked about homosexuality being okay in marriage, which you refused to answer directly. Instead you would answer by giving an example such as you did with the paedophilia shit. Islam was irrelevant to the debate.It was clearly in the context of the Prophet Muhammad's marriage to his "favourite" wife. That's what I said I disagreed with.
Quote:The correlation between homosexuality and paedophilia is a terrible myth which needs to be stopped.I never claimed there's correlation so relax.
Quote:Daniel, understand that paedophilia is a separate issue to either homosexuals or heterosexuals( especially consenting adults)You think it's a separate issue. All issues involved with sexuality are inherently intertwined.
Quote:Then you go on to say that some paedophiles may not conduct in paedophilia acts.(and that's great and they should be supported in that) And then your next sentence is comparing some homosexual friends of yours who are celibate. Please DanielI didn't say they were friends of mine, my homosexual friends are not celibate.

Shall I lump you in with some asshole atheists?I didn't bother to view that link, but I should point out that the Bible is not silent on the issue (as Zen seems to think), but nor is it the most important issue either. God destroys Sodom in Genesis, we aren't told specifically why (at least not until Ezekiel 16:49 and it has nothing to do with sexuality). We don't find out anywhere in Genesis that homosexuality is a sin, and in Exodus God doesn't give a commandment to Moses prohibiting it. It's not until Leviticus that God declares it sinful. So it certainly wouldn't seem to be the most important sin, but that said, it is still a sin, and it is made clear in the Bible.
Form you own opinion if you can and if you can't, take someone else's opinion and pass it off as your own here, in THIS thread...

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
