"Homosexuality is a given. Across all cultures a stable one-n-twenty persons statistic exists ..."


Sounds as though you have delved rather deeply into this sordid phenomenon of life.

What are your thoughts, or findings on say bestiality?

I try to see it in the way it presents itself to me. I did no delve into it in any personal way, but I do know homosexuals, and one is a dear friend. He lives in a stable and trustful relationship. Alas, the latter predicate cannot be given to many, many heterosexual relationships in our days. Given the divorce rates in the Western world, it’s pretty hard to maintain that the heterosexual bond for life works so well (although that is not the same as saying: we should not aspire to this bonding, I admit).

I wouldn’t call homosexuality ‘sordid’, or ‘a bestiality’. I try to be so modest as not qualify anything that I don’t understand myself in such negative terms.

I am religious. But that does not mean that I take the Bible literally, or as the very last word on each and any subject. Here I am firmly with the (religious) philosopher Imanuel Kant: in the last instance, your conscience must be your guide.

I sincerely hope I could clarify my position for you.
