Just HOW evolved are we?

How many other animals start wars because "My God's better than your God"?

I haven't started any wars, maybe some of us are more evolved than others

I might also ask how many other species kill other creatures not for suatenance but for sport?

Between things like that and the incredible ability of some species to adapt to their environment, things like a bat's echo location and ocean going mammals' sonar location abilities, I'm led to believe that man may not be quite as superior on the evolutionary ladder as he may think.

I could agree to that.

Do we?

Your ad hominem attacks on others who are different than you are reminds me of a monkey sitting in a tree throwing poo at all the other monkeys--no reason--you just don't like what they're doing so you choose to smack them with poo.

How is that different than attacking gay people simply because you don't agree with their lifestyle?

Zero proof?

Only if you discard science and biology while relying upon rumor and ideology to teach you about llife.

If I didn't have to run off to class, I'd burden you down with so much proof, you'll want to stick a pencil through your eyes to make it stop.

But, never fear. I know where to find you and I'll be back.

Good point.

The human brain is so complicated, and there's so much we still don't know. It seems short-sighted for anyone to condemn homosexuality based on what non-human animals do or don't do, or what their religion tells them, etc.

Save the drama queen number. If you guys want to spout vitriol, don't cry when somebody returns the favor - even when it's purely for the sake of proving a point.
You didn't respond "in kind". He called someone "overly sheltered" and "Puritan" and you responded with "dung-infested penises" and "oversexualized, AIDS-ravaged".

Yeah, it's interesting that many believe that anyone who isn't anti-gay must be gay themselves.
