Do you understand how the human immune system functions? I am not being facetious. You seem to think that the body is capable of resolving an infection without acquiring immunity to the pathogen. What exactly is the mechanism by which that occurs?

You failed to grasp the implications of my previous post, so let’s try a more direct approach. If homosexuality is indeed communicable, then where are all the gay people? This hypothetical gay pathogen has hitherto avoided detection by medical science. A disease that is highly contagious and unknown would be ubiquitous. Everyone who ever received a blood transfusion would have been exposed. Even if we assume that a pregnant woman would not expose her child in utero, transmission would still be possible during a natural birth. Consider the case of HPV. It’s transmission was not prevented by condoms and there was no testing protocol for males. As a consequence basically everyone has some form of HPV. 50% of all sexually active young people will contract an STD before the age of 25. 20% of high school girls have an STD. There are 20 million new STD infections every year. So why do homosexuals make up less than 4% of the population?

Maybe this is a wrangle that doesn’t have to exist.

On the physical plane it’s probably impossible. There probably is no “gay bacterium” that bestows the wicked habit.

But on the spiritual plane, I humbly submit that johny might have a point. Many people who are into that practice point back to having been molested. It’s like getting jumped by a mob of demons which had been riding on the molester.

And spiritual hygiene in fact does matter. And can even overpower physical hazards.

As a random example but one I found noteworthy, at one point I went overseas on a “short term mission trip.” One day we all had “waffleburgers.” We disassembled them in order to reheat the patties, then put them back together and ate them. All with “unwashen hands.” Not a soul got food poisoning or any other ill effect.

If you were a redneck, I’d shake hands with you as a fellow redneck :-).

Jesus was born a humble redneck. I think those “iggorant” hick stick churches are often more up on God than the citified ones. Quirks and all.
