I specifically remember you saying that women are viewed differently and that women's equality was not a player in Judaism. I could be remembering incorrectly, though.
Quote:
Women are discouraged from pursuing higher education or religious pursuits, but this seems to be primarily because women who engage in such pursuits might neglect their primary duties as wives and mothers. The rabbis are not concerned that women are not spiritual enough; rather, they are concerned that women might become too spiritually devoted.
Can you make the distinction between passion and reason? How about inclination and action? My dog may be inclined to pee on my rugs but as long as he holds it in the pooch remains in my good graces.
Some days I may be inclined to punch someone in the face but I say a prayer to God asking for the strength to control myself. Thus the inclination of the carnal is muted by the reason of the soul.
In the same way homosexual is inclined to homosexual acts it does not mean that everyone with this inclination involuntarily dresses up in chaps with the butt missing and starts dry humping people on the train.
To put it in the most simplest terms for you. Homosexual person good. Homosexual sex bad.
So now you are comparing gays to dogs peeing on a carpet. Seriously, how hard is it to have so much contempt and hate for a segment of the population that you don't even know?? You may try to claim you don't hate gays, but your comparisons, your rhetoric, and the absolute hate you are spewing says otherwise.
If your common sense leads you to discriminate against people for what they do with other consenting people behind closed doors - which has zero effect on you - it may be common, but I don't see a lot of sense.

Smash255, do you think polygamy and incest should be permitted in our society (considering all particpants are consenting adults)? I'm afraid you've opened up a can of worms.

Polygamy, I really don't care much about, of course the the silly comparisons continue.....
