Well, yeah, I agree, but I feel with all the problems that result from children from sibling parents, or whatever, it's safer to adopt. That's all I was really saying.
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!  Heart

It's not as dangerous as most people think it is.

The "solve" their disputes with sex?  Really?  This is documented?

If Yes, how interesting.

Not really.

Quote:Seeking the answer to that question, researchers noted that infanticide is almost unknown among bonobos.

Notice the word "almost" in that sentence, and what it really means.  If it never happened, it would not be "almost unknown;" it would be simply "unknown."

Bonobos are less violent than common chimpanzees.  But "less violent" does not mean that they are not sometimes violent.

So you adopt but end up with a child of incest.  Then what?

Did you hear about the father and his daughter who went out drinking?  It wasn't Lot and one of his girls.  When they got home they ended up naked together in the bed.  The woman's husband comes home and finds them actually sleeping so he raises a ruckus.  The father gets mean and stabs the husband in the back.  The woman thinks that she might have been been auditioning for the role of one of Lot's daughters.

Homosexuality is not 'wrong', because you are born with it or you are not.
It's as simple as that. The people who recently 'came out of the closet', just didn't want to admit it at first, they didn't let their sexuality get changed from straight to gay, not at all.

 And about incest: I'm ok with it since it doesn't hurt anyone. Smile
"The belief that everything came from a invisible man, was rational enough in the prehistoric era.
This belief in the modern world however, is hallucination and cannot be explained otherwise."

There has been a rather strong correlation between those most vocal about homosexuality being "wrong" and being discovered to be deep in the closet, shoving a clothes hanger up another guy's arse.
