It is unnecessary, a leisure time activity. If there are 100 people in the world, and people would need to mate to survive and proliferate, same-sex pairs are not part of the solution.

That, and other reasons. I always wonder if these threads get monitored by outside folks.

Good article. To a large extent, the teleological argument follows exactly what Paul says in Rom. 2.

Without regard to biblical perspective, I find it disgusting and sick.

“Why Is Homosexuality Bad in Itself?”

Religion need not be mentioned when answering that question:

It is bad because it is not reproductive, period, and an end to the argument liberals use by attacking the religious angle.

And there in lies the rub.

Queers are queer but they become unqueer to make babies.

So let's extrapolate ... how much value does life have after 2 or 3 generations of ... "Ohhh .. OK ... if I HAF to" ?

By the fourth or fifth generation their 'society' would have to deal with diseased kids that just don't come out right physically and would probably be sterile by gen 10.


OK ... now .. I made that all up ... but it looks right to me.

RE: It is bad because it is not reproductive

Not sure if this is a good counter argument.

Artificial Insemination and Surrogate Motherhood and adoption could solve this problem today.

I don’t care about what homosexuals do.

I care about homosexuality being used as a front to let the State control the legitimacy of marriage, that is only valid between two human beings and God.

I care about homosexuality being used as a front to violate prepubescent childhood, and stress adolescence even more by demanding equivalent time and consideration of someting that affects less than 2% of the population.

I care about homosexuality being used to support the acceptance of unlawful, vicious, irrational cruel and terrorizing political correctness.

I care about homosexuality being used to attack Christian soul teachings, while ignoring the literal murderousness of Islam for the same cause.

And most of all, I care about homosexuality being used to front collectivism and the destruction of human rights and freedom, by mocking those rights and freedoms as being deficient unless they are used to destroy the very foundation of the Constitution on behalf of tyrannies which, historically, have slaughtered homosexuals immediately upon gaining power - before moving on to slaughter or enslave everyone else.

Finally, I am just sick of hearing about sex and politics all the time, by morons who don’t understand either, and who are serving the purposes of slithering creatures who plan on having eating their livers for lunch, with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

“The question of why homosexuality is bad in itself is not easy to answer.”

Really? Just look at it, and its consequences.

If that’s not easy, I don’t know how you manage to get dressed in the morning.

The exact same argument of Biblical teleology shows why it is wrong to contracept the sexual act. You don't even need Onan thrown in for good measure.

But it's a classic case of people not seeing what they don't want to see.

“Homosexuality is wrong because it perverts the good purposes of God. This is true of all sin, though, and Romans makes it clear that each of us is guilty in our own way, even if our sin is not homosexuality.”

That is grotesquely deceptive.

Some sins are worse than others, and homosexuality is up there right near the top. Far above consensual fornication.

Why did the country and cities and businesses ever offer benefits to married couples to begin with? It was for the sake of the high potential for the vulnerable members, in fact the intended offspring or offspring by design, as in children. (A subtle reason this gets obscured today is due to the loss of the full-time homemaking mother, which is arguably necessary for vibrant offspring.) To offer any special care for a member of a union that isn’t in existence for that end is folly and huge squandering of resources as well as a mammoth endorsement for highly self-centered (and perverted) activity.

Any human being that defines himself/herself by their sexuality is a fool. We are more than our sexual impulses. My first reaction is always: I don’t care!

Here is an answer to why homosexuality is bad, without the "Bible thumping" the lefties reject.

The Health Risks of Gay Sex

These are the same arguments lefties make against smoking. If states can outlaw or restrict smoking based on this without violating the Equal Protection Act, why can't those who want to preserve marriage do the same on homosexuality?

Truthfully, homosexuality, along with several other practices, like prostitution, may have a biological purpose.

That is, that there are only a limited number of people who are optimal for having and raising children. And there are also people who are sub-optimal, but are also able to have and raise children, either as alternates or to enlarge the genetic pool. But those people that remain, our biology dictates, should not have nor raise children.

However, this does not mean that they are not compelled to want sex. Yet this becomes a problem for the optimal and even sub-optimal breeding couples, because unless they are distracted, the non-breeders will interfere with the breeders.

So, to distract the non-breeders, the human species may use homosexuality, non-procreative prostitution, post-menopausal sexuality, and who knows what other techniques.

Importantly, homosexuality is not unique to the human species, so with observation and genetic analysis, we should be able to determine if the theory is correct.

Ask any proctologist or other health professional (aka doctor) unless he/she is a gay activist!

HIV, rectal cancer, rectal lesions, tears or collapsed sphincters just to mention a few.

If those aren't enough reasons, you are totally sold out to Satan!

If only He had put warning labels on stupid humans.”WARNING!!use of this product in a manner inconsistant with the Creator’s original intention is a crime and will be punished accordingly”.
