Besides your arguments being flawed (not you position on this just your arguments) I can understand why you are upset. Having a black and white world-view in a grey world causes consternation.
I don’t recall saying it should be overturned. I only pointed out the those who made the decision admittedly used no empirical data to study the effect, period.
But then again, their using empirical data would assume that they are atheistic in their world-view since this is a theistic subject that does not need empirical data?
One hopes that in government policy decision the “God said it; I believe (my interpretation of it); and that settles it” mindset does not become a default to theonomy.
I’m talking about universal morality which is theistic based. Not blind this or that. That is a silly fake argument you are using merely to make my position look fanatic.
But funny thing - science, reason, health, common sense and Nature all support theistic morality. Odd, hunh.
Empiric data would mean putting homosexuals in the military, seeing how it worked, comparing everything (otherwise all the same) with none, etc. No need for that. The above mentioned reasons are all that is needed. In fact, it would be irrational and cruel to experiment with putting homosexuals in the military to “see what happens”.
The bottom line is that homosexuality is NOT normal, NOT natural, IMmoral, deviant, and ruins society when it is promoted and accepted as equivalent to normal sexual relations and orientation. That’s it in a nutshell. Therefore, homosexuals should not be in the military, nor in the priesthood, nor in positions where they interact with youth.
Homosexuals need help, not flattery and obeisance.
