This is why we do not excuse crimes committed by psychopaths, who may be born that way. You really should think through the implications of what you think passes for 'logic'. It's probably the whole thinking thing you have a problem with, I suppose. Consensual sex between adults, gay or straight, is not victimization. Which is why comparing it to pedophilia is moronic.)

And now, back to your regularly-scheduled idiocy.
Maybe you need to send a note to the professor and the writer of the article - because that's exactly what they are trying to do.

So don't get on my case.

i feel it is unfair to link the gay community directly to kid sex. you have the exploitation of minors issue with both gay and straight community.

In brief - I believe all people are born with a bent towards a certain sin - lust, greed, violence, homosexuality, etc. - because of original sin in the garden. It's a product of sin passed down through the ages. God didn't give it to us - it's a consequence.

I'm sure most of you think it's crazy - but you asked me.

DRob4JC, I'm not a fan of your god.

All arguments like the OP's are predicated on one narrow way of life being the only acceptable way, and if you veer off of that at all, you might as well throw in the towel and start engaging in bestiality towards newborn puppies.

Why do anti-gay conservative bigots need to spread disproven lies to make their point?

edit: I see DRob4JC edited his post to remove the reference to Kevin Jennings.

Most sins are learned. Who you are naturally attracted to is not a choice.

Sin is a religious concept. It doesn't apply to those of us that do not follow your religion.

Besides do we deny civil rights to those who have a different religion? OR get a divorce? Or work on the Sabbath?

Nope. So we should not be denying people who "sin" in this way either.
Keep your religion out of the laws of this secular country.
