"Homosexuality is a choice" and its paradox

And he must do so without quoting scripture, because he said he would be against it even if he wasn't a Christian.

How about it, GC?

And remember, cite sources when necessary.

This.

GC, the reason we're waiting for you to concede this point is not to rub it in your face. Rather, I would feel the same joy hearing you admit that homosexuality is actually natural that I felt when ronedee confessed that he would be conflicted if god ever told him to kill someone. Honesty is the road to respect, and I have a feeling you're not an amoral person.

I too would like to see the rarity of a christian in a religious debate actually admitting an error and moving past it, mainly because that's like seeing hen's teeth. Usually GC just sees fit to ignore anything that conflicts with his position though, so... I ain't holding out hope.

I suppose the downside to GC et al. with backpedaling is that it leaves god in the cold, looking like an erroneous schmuck. Better to keep a united front than open that can of worms.

That's because you keep claiming homosexuality is unnatural, that's an incorrect statement. You can think I'm stupid all you like, that's just your opinion and honestly, I don't value it. Show me proof that it's unnatural, ooops, you can't. And anyone who owns a computer and has access to google knows I'm right and you're wrong.

All you have said it's natural, it's natural you've given no reason why. Everyone else has said it's natural, well if it's natural BWS have you given it a try and where is your reasons, I've seen none from anyone. Genkaus wanted scriptures so I gave them and then ignored them, someone said the NT doesn't address this and BWS says that the Bible doesn't call it unnatural. Well those verses came from the NT and those verses deal with why I would vote against homosexual marriage. None of you bothered to read what I posted, so you see 'pineapple' it's not me who's ignorant. It is the bunch of you who demand something from me yet will not even take the time to read what I posted and you all call yourselves the smart ones, to me it appears you are the arrogant ones who will not look at the other side.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Does any one here ever read bible verses when they are given? I sure don't. I'm happy to read anything (within reason) that one of us cares to write. But I'm no fan of the bible. Christian are welcome to post here and I'm glad they do. If you include a very short quote from the bible I may take a look but I couldn't be any less interested in what the bible has to say.

What, am I on ignore here? I gave you a link to evidence that it's natural yesterday. You're not going to be able to squirm out of this by just ignoring it.

We all know that the Bible is not the word of any god. Throwing verses at us like a monkey tossing feces is no way to demonstrate a valid point.

I mean, honestly, GC... it's not that hard to google "homosexuality in animals" and find a comprehensive Wiki page which cites impressive, scientific sources. Hint: the Bible isn't one of them.

Oh wow, of all the posts, you picked mine to reply to. What a fucking honour. Okay, here's the wiki page on evolution and sexual orientation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and...rientation (scroll down to sexual orientation and evolution)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_...in_animals (homosexuality in animals)

It's natural because it happens in nature and bonus point: it is explained by evolution. Before you complain about wiki as a source, I could recommend you books but you've been avoiding evolution books for so long wiki would be like the kiddie pool.

I don't care what your bible says, you claimed you held this view before you were a Christian, so it seems irrelevant what the bible says. No, you're arrogant for having learned NOTHING about homosexuality at all and claiming to know it's unnatural. That's not even arrogance that's just dishonesty, which is even worse. You haven't produce a shred of evidence for why gays are unnatural but go around spouting nonsense about a stance that's well supported by multiple branches of biology. How about you doing the work scientists did, why don't you go find evidence and publish your papers? Oh right, because of the great big conspiracy. Creationists are such crybabies. The electron transport chain was such a novel idea that when it was first suggested most scientists outright rejected it, but now it's mainstream biology. Evolution was rejected when it was first brought up, now it's mainstream too. See, god may not be on our side, but at least we get shit done.
