Ok, you claim (apparently) that there is nothing intrinsically wrong or harmful about same sex acts. You are singularly ill-informed considering that you have been registered as a FR member for several years.
Here's a link to the Categorical Index of Articles about homosexuality in all its aspects:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1026551/posts
Therein are contained all manner of topics such as: spread of disease and other health problems, higher levels of mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse, higher rates of child molestation and seduction, higher levels of being molested as children, the propaganda of the "gay" activists, how they indoctrinate children in schools, the wild promiscuity of the "gay" life, the undeniable fact that homosexuals can change, the causes of homosexuality (NOT proven to be genetic or inborn), and so on.
Read and learn!
Excellent observation, Little Jeremiah. A wise person once said, "Evil needs no encouragement, only toleration." If good and evil are equally acceptable, why be good? Look where toleration has gotten us -- evil has pushed out good. Evil mocks good. It's even subsidized at the taxpayer's expense.
All body organs have proper uses. The eyes are for seeing, the ears for hearing, the digestive system for digesting, and the reproductive system for reproducing.
The pleasurable nature of intercourse was designed to bring male and female together. All of this is simply a matter of observing the design of the plumbing.
But we can also know with certainty that intercourse was intended for married couples. How can we know this through unaided reason? Simply by observing the raising of children. Who today can argue that a child raised by a single mother is better off than a child raised by a mother and father? Surely the latter is what was intended by our Creator.
And it doesn't tell us that we shouldn't. Remember the woman caught in adultery? Did Jesus say that the law was unjust? Or that the State had no authority to permit stoning?
Ah, maybe you're right about vulgarity. The thing is, as some sins cry out for vengeance, some statements cry out for a vulgar retort.
"The Bible does not tell us we should forcefully prevent other people from doing evil if that's what they want to do."
Excuse me? To which bible do you refer? Not the one I was introduced to 50 years ago, that's for sure.
"Some people are just as naturally attracted to the same sex, as others are to the opposite."
No, sorry to contradict, but that's simply not so.
No one is "naturally" attracted to the same sex, nor ever has been, nor ever will be.
Everyone is intrinsically normal.
So called "attraction" to the same sex is a maladaptive response to molestation or seduction by a person of the same sex during a person's pre-adult years.
I refer to it as "so-called attraction" because it is not the same phenomenon as attraction of man for woman and vice versa, but merely a perverted and evil lust.
Same-sex attraction disorder is AFAIK the only contagious mental disorder. A sufferer can pass it on by traumatizing others. Not with 100% efficiency, of course. Not every molested boy develops the disorder, and sometimes it doesn't manifest for decades.
But that's how homosexuals "reproduce." The vampire legend, bitten becoming biter, is a metaphor for the way homosexuals create new homosexuals.
Trace any liberal position back far enough, and you will encounter an error of fact. Yours here is this notion that some people are "naturally" unnatural.
Excuse me, my #85 should have been addressed to Decombobulator.
Blast, that should have been "my #87."
I find it highly amusing that people feel in any way threatened by a Bollywood movie involving a couple of women kissing. A culture that is endangered by that is probably not a worthwhile culture to begin with.
Now which is that 'culture' you're referring to? The culture of 0.000000001 % of India's population of a billion who ransacked theatres like thugs, or that of the larger majority which just couldn't help but not bother.
I was speaking hypothetically. Anyone who claims that a movie is a danger to their culture is implying that their culture is weak. I have no fear that this movie is in any way a threat to Indian culture.
