Sigh...another one who apparently thinks that sex is the only thing that matters.

...When does homosexuality harm something?
My dictionary doesn't mention anything about harm - it defines morality as dealing with right or wrong.

You are making up your own definition and sound just like Bill Clinton.

Words mean things.

It doesn't take a rocket science to understand that my link is more credible.
Your link is not credible when it refuses to recognize modern studies which shows that sexual orientation is not a choice. I believe in the evidence of nearly all gays and lesbians saying they did not make a choice. That is the only ones that count. not that of a religious organization with an agenda to discredit gay people.

There is a Bible verse that says something like "rejoice in your youth, young man". Also Paul wrote that "it is good to remain single".

I have several good female friends and am happy keeping things platonic without delving into a lifetime commitment.

However if a relationship developed with a woman and we agreed after prayer that marriage was the proper step to take, then by all means I would marry her.

You ever stop to think he was saying have sex with lots of different women until it is time to settle down?

Why do you only consider 3/4 of the examples which you cited to be immoral?

Why do you consider those three to be immoral but not the fourth?

I doubt it.

He taught evolution.

I don't know what he thought about it - he just presented the curriculum as did the book.

I gave the answers that I had to pass the course.

Rape, theft, lying, and murder are not consensual acts. Sex between consenting adults is.

You don't need to be married to have sex or even to have a baby. Doesn't the bible also say that it is not good for man to be alone? How do you come to the conclusion that homosexuality is immoral? Is slavery immoral?
