Thomas Jefferson wasn't a Founder?
Wow, jump from immorality to different color of skin. Weak at best. While many in the past have used the Bible or some other sacred texts quite wrongly through misinterpretation to condone their racist views, unless you're on a NAMBLA or MCC sponsored site, I don't imagine that you will see any other interpretation condoning homosexuality. And while you may disagree with such texts the fact is that research by men such as M.E. Bradford have shown that over 90% of the men who signed the Constitution were active in their local churches. Not necessarily setting up a theocracy as much as establishing norms on a Judeo-Christian basis. Is there a basis for racism in the Bible or Torah? No. Homosexuality? Without a doubt, yes
Name a state where statutory rape is determined by I.Q. (other than the mentally challenged) versus age of consent, i.e. 16 or 18. If an adult has sex with a 14 year old it's rape whether her I.Q. is 90 or 150. That is the LEGAL realit, no matter how much you say otherwise.
Comparing wrong behavior with right behavior is a pathology, it’s like comparing homosexuality to heterosexuality or incest with heterosexuality or bestiality with heterosexuality or pedophilia with heterosexuality. .
I get it now!! The Constitution is a 'living breathing document' crap. If we can't make it fit our needs, and we can't get a Constitutional Amendment passed condoning it considering there are less than 2% of the population involved in this immorality, we'll just 'say' that it was in there and the Founders 'really meant' to cover it. Tell you what. Slavery was abolished by a Constitutional Amendment because it was wrong to own human beings. If you can find enough folks that have been brainwashed to condone sodomy as a natural act, why don't you start a push to get a Constitutional Amendment passed by 3/4 of the states? Much like the ever growing bureaucracy in Washington, the sickness is forced upon us until we accept it and become truly enlightened?
Only by arbitrary law. If there was a law saying legal age of consent was 9 or drinking age was 10, if it’s the law then those ages must be morally justifiable? Still waiting for you to prove children can’t consent their Emmylou.
I see you're enjoying the blinders.
So do you consider incest between two consenting adults moral? Would you see anything wrong with me, a 29 yr. old woman having sex with my 31 yr. old brother? If so, then you are a hypocrite.
Child molestors will make the argument that we as a society set the age at which someone is considered an adult (and it has increased over time). They will make the argument that their is nothing morally wrong with "intergenerational sex." Society is the one that has attached a stigma to it (same argument homos make).
I agree!
