It also stresses genocide(Exodus 34:13-14), with countless other verses condoning the killing of unbelievers. By your argument, the Holocaust was justified. Just because the bible says something's right or wrong, that doesn't make it right or wrong, maybe religious people should start actually thinking for themselves instead of letting their religion think for them.

A homosexual relationship can be the same as a heterosexual relationship; two consenting adults. Can you not see the difference between that and an adult molesting a child, an animal or a corpse?

It's amazing that some of these people can even turn on a computer. Homosexuality equated to bestiality and pedophilia? Ugh, that is daft.

The problem with your logic is that there are straight people who engage in pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, anal sex, alcoholism, etc. Should we therefore launch a discussion about the morality of heterosexuality as a "psychological preference" and condemn the whole of the heterosexual population as a result of some flawed logic that connects it to those things?

Perhaps it's time to put away the references to such baseless arguments, because they really prove nothing.

That's only half true. It's only when you make a paste out of baking soda and lemon juice that you see the real extraction take place.

Kudos......We can only hope that eventually everyone will think this way,. although I would not class homosexuality as a defect of character. I'm hoping that is not what you meant.

I think they are just mad that gay men are better dressed and in better shape than everybody. You rarely see a fat gay guy.
