The sexual drive is a strong one. Past repression by Christianity has shown that there are side effects which are not necessarily beneficial. Flagellation is one such side effect of sexual repression.
An individual cannot help their sexual preferences. Whether you like homosexuality or not, Jester, it is better out in the arena where it can be more easily controlled. Repression never serves society usefully.

I wholeheartedly and fully disagree, that sounds like phsycological hogwash to me.

One should have self control over proper behavior. Sodomy is not proper behavior. It's disease causing and distructive behavior both physically and psyhcologically.

What does your god want? Does he want peace on earth? Does he want people to be good? At what point does he begin to judge? Where are his priorities?
Is it skin colour, Is it sexuality, Is it car preference?
My understanding of god, is he wants peace on earth, he wants good people!
So, if this is what god is about, and I hope he is, cos otherwise all you religious people are scaring me - why would he judge anyone for any other reason than the goodness within them. Why would sexuality matter to him?
Good is good. Evil is evil!

Ok your like my mother in law you get a three question limit!

God, wants his will to be done, peace on earth will come no matter what man does. Good comes from God, man is not good and can do no good apart from God, why would he expect it from man alone?

Gods will is that a beliver be filled with the Holy Spirit and will slowly be changed by the renewing of his mind in Jesus Christ, which is to bring every motive, thought, action and deed in to subjection to God. It's called Spiritual Maturity.

In part it involves a proper understanding of sexuality, and that proper understanding does not include homosexual activity.

As a matter of fact, homosexual activity is directly counter to Gods truth concerning sexuality. It is also in direct violation of his standard of design based on creation.

Did I answer all your questions?

No you did not answer my questions And why does mother in-law only get 3 questions!!!

You did not answer my questions about gods view of good and evil. You did not answer why homosexuality is evil over all evils.

Oh by the way, Hi Jester

Hi Pheasy!

Because she asks too many!

Homeosexual activity is not an evil over all evils, it just happens to be the one we're talking about. Its no different than lying or stealing, or gossiping. The hype about it is that there are people who want to practice it and force me recognize it as normal behavior. I dont accept that and no one will force me to accept that its normal.

As I have said many times to practice homoseuality is a choice no one is born that way, its not like being black or white, its a behavior. And I dont have to accept anyones miss behavior.

And there you go.

The heart of disagreement. Isn't it great that in a free society we get to choose which opinion we want to have, and not have it forced down our throats?

I think I have said before that I woudln't try to stop a guy shacking up with a guy if that is what they wanted to do, but there's no way someone is going to force me to believe a lie, or to exthort me into accepting that sodomites can use a traditional term and change it to mean something its not, like "marriage". The heart of this issue is that its being forced on us to accept it as normal. That ain't right.
