What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Catholic_Lady]

You may not agree with my beliefs about sexual morality, and that is perfectly fine. I understand, and I wouldn't expect you to agree.
Regardless, if 2 men or 2 women want to be in a romantic relationship, it is their right to do so and I still respect them as people and I respect their right. But I cannot say I believe it to be morally good.

Please make a case why same sex relationships are 'not morally good'

See, there you go with more of that self-contradictory bullshit: I respect it, but I think it's wrong. Nuh uh, not buying that shit. Calling somebody's relationship wrong is disrespectful.

Be a bigot if you must. But at the very least, be honest about it.

I believe they are not morally good because I believe God created sex to be used between husband and wife. And so using it outside of it's intended context is not moral. This isn't just about same sex relations, it is about opposite sex relations too. I have many friends who sleep with their boyfriends/girlfriends, and I don't think what they are doing is moral. If they asked me what my views were, I would be honest with them and tell them. But I would never just come out and start bugging them about it. You are perfectly capable of loving someone and respecting someone without thinking everything they do is good.

As an example, you think my beliefs are wrong, but I think you would still treat me with kindness and respect if we met. It is possible.

Would you agree though that people who are attracted to children "shouldn't act on the impulse that is part of who they are and their human nature?"
If so, then there is nothing intrinsically wrong with thinking it is not always moral to act on impulses. You just don't think it's right in this particular case.

You really just did that.


Wow.

You really just equated a relationship between two consenting adults to child rape.

That's low. And also, incredibly dumb.

Unlike you, I can make a case for why acting on pedophilic impulses is wrong: it is always without the child's informed consent, therefore always rape. Homosexuality is not.

And that comparison is positively disgusting.

I think I lost half of my respect for you from that post alone. I still can't fathom how you can come off so sweet and hold such hateful beliefs.

Please read carefully. I did not equate the 2, nor would I ever. Because I do not think the 2 are equal. I did though, challenge the assertion made that it is wrong to say someone should refrain from "acting on the impulse that is part of who they are and their human nature."

Oof..that pedophilia comparison is rough...  It should be obvious that we're talking about consenting adults.

I think I may have caused some misunderstanding. Please read my responses above.
