Religion and LGBT people

[Angrboda]

It is not "opinion" that the bodies of same sex couples are not naturally physical compatible, like those of a heterosexual couple are.

Ever gotten a surgery? Worn glasses? If you were dying, would you get an organ transplant?

I understand the Catholic church is preparing a position paper on whether or not people should live at higher latitudes. It seems that the human body is not well suited to enduring the cold and inclement weather in these colder climates, and the church is considering declaring living more than 20 degrees north or south of the equator to be an abomination and against the will of God. They will be issuing a list of the technical inventions, like clothing and fire, which are to be avoided by all good Catholics at the very peril of their eternal souls. I thank the Catholic church for bringing this late-breaking issue to our attention.



(On a more serious note, I read some commentary which suggests that the Catholic church's position on homosexuality, by resting predominately on natural law theory, is intimately entangled with its position on birth control, such that, if one falls by argument, that deprives the other of its essential foundation. So it's not necessarily a war fought on isolated fronts, and the suggestion is that the church's catechism is carefully constructed so as to prevent difficulties with one doctrine impacting the other. See Austin Cline's article on at About.com for more on this aspect.)
