People want to argue that homosexuality is bad because it’s unnatural

People point out that it occurs in nature

then people point out bad stuff that occurs in nature

So now the argument is that homosexuality is bad because it occurs in nature?

It can’t go both ways.

Nope.

Just pointing out that "animals do it too" isn't exactly a defense.



I was pointing out that it is natural, as it is observed in nature

I didn't say they were equivalent.

You people do this all the time. You don't understand illustrations at all.

Homicidal maniacs impede on the freedoms of others as in not being murder is a freedom we should all enjoy

Which is most certainly why I would treat them FAR worse than people with a great many other disorders who don't do such things.

Where as being gay affects no one but the two adult consenting parties involved.

Which is why I don't really care what gays do in their bedrooms. They can frick 20 of the same sex for all I care.

To suggest that being gay affects anyone else's freedoms in anyway
Fortunately, I don't suggest any such thing.

Yes. And lots of shite is "natural" and is observed in nature.

There's nothing especially useful in this observation given that it ranges from "animals also smile" to "animals also commit mass murder".

The fact of the matter is homosexuals can live perfectly happy and healthy lives. They can be productive members of society.

They have higher risks but those risks can be mitigated

Comparing it to schizophrenia ignores that.

The entire argument was that gays shouldnt have kids bc being gay is unnatural. Well, it is natural, as it is observed in nature.

Which is not very useful info.

exactly. Bad stuff. Good stuff. In the middle stuff. Saying, "it happens in nature" isn't very informative to the discussion.

Not at all. How would you get that?

science doesn't back you up here
Science is a methodology or a tool, not a person.

Biology supports the idea that humans naturally procreate via sexual reproduction. Advancement in technology allows for natural reproduction via artificial insemination but that still requires male sperm and a female ovum. You can get very unnatural by manipulating cells to simulate sperm to create life, at least in theory (I haven't kept up with that advancement), but that's in no ways "natural".

quote:

Or do we need to discuss the word Natural vs Common. It isn't common but it's completely natural.
I think others have covered this from a relational standpoint but I'm talking about reproduction specifically. Reproduction is natural via heterosexual sexual union within humans. It's impossible via homosexual union.

this is opinion.

If fricking wanting to wash your hands too much because you're irrationally afraid of dirt is a mental disorder, desiring the same sex is one


Too much is the point.

Washing your hands often isn’t.

Washing them to the point where it is detrimental to your ability to function is.

I made no such argument. I don't really care if it is "natural".

It's less than ideal.

A lot of straight parents are less than ideal too.

If we are forming a line to adopt, I start with the most ideal and work my way back. If there are kids available when we get to a gay couple, fine.

All of psychology is "opinion" then.

Wanting to frick the same sex is a disorder. It's just one of the "not that big a deal" disorders.

Agreed.

so?

quote:

You libs really have a hard time with understanding examples do not have to be "comparing".

For example. If you tell me "all felines" make good pets and I say, "I don't think a Jaguar is a good idea".......you're gonna sound retarded if you say, "are you comparing Jaguars to house cats!!!!"

The implication is there when you're talking about "a 2000 old poorly translated book". Clearly you don't think it holds the truth or else you wouldn't have tried to dismiss the Bible as some poor work of antiquity.

quote:

My point was that religious belief (any religious belief) can form a basis for a person's worldview, which in turn dictates a person's opinions and even their actions (like what laws they support or want enacted). You can't throw out one worldview in favor of another for no other reason than you don't like its foundation.
