I take it you're conceding the point then: This judge has no biblical authority for his medical diagnosis. What's interesting is that people who differ in their views on the morality or immorality of homosexuality can agree in his stupidity. Christians should be particularly concerned because his stupidity reinforces negative stereotypes.

Yes, the judge did overstep the bounds with the "medical" opinion from scripture, I agree.
Had he held an opinion from medical personnel, that would have been helpful to his arguement, but then based on the support of scripture stating homosexuality is detrimental to society, he offered an opinion for those to seek help - same as if an alcoholic or drug abuser would come before his bench and be told to seek help with their problem....

By stupidity I take it that you're refering to the fact that he, being a public servant, actually said something against homosexuals publicly? I guess you define stupid as one who isn't cowed by homosexual activists. That would mean intelligence is defined as being submissive to those activists.

The arguments against special privileges being awarded to homosexuals, and even that they should be placed in mental institutions, don't need the Bible. They're found in the way physical reality, as applied to creatures, is arranged. History shows us that homosexuality is either deadly to a civilization or a indicator that a civilization is close to destruction. Neither historical interpretation is positive.

Medical diagnosis. The good judge didn't make a medical diagnosis, any more than observing that someone has cut their hand. He gave a medical remedy. Homosexuality is obviously a mental problem; an identity disorder. When one's body is male or female and one thinks and acts as the opposite, one has an identity crisis. There is simply no other explanation; the "homosexual gene" is, and has been proven to be fantasy. Genetics determines physical states; attitude and behavior is learned.
