How, then, do you explain homosexuality in animals? The biology of the animal body is made for reproduction, as well. And yet there is significant homosexual behavior in different species of animal.

not all episcopal church members are on board on this and no doubt there will be membership shuffles.

Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made [man] is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. ~Mark Twain

From beasts we scorn as soulless,
In forest, field and den,
The cry goes up to witness
The soullessness of men.
~M. Frida Hartley

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it. ~Abraham Lincoln

How long do you think any species would survive if homosexuality was the norm? Obviously it is abnormal.

No, actually, I don't belong to PETA. And I don't believe that Lincoln did, either.

How can something be "abnormal" if it's prevalent in Nature?

Your belief system is a closed circle that admits no truth other than its own.

Also, homosexuality is natural. Always has been, always will be. It's part of Nature. Humans are part of Nature, too.

1,500 animal species practice homosexuality
Now that's a reach from someone who is desperate to read something into a post that isn't there.

Please show me where I used either word -- homo or hetero.

You debase yourself!

I would walk out of a church like hussein obama's that promoted hate against white people.
I would walk out of a church that promoted hate against black people.
I would not even walk through the door of a church that promoted homosexuality.
I see you walk an awful lot; good exercise though.

Why not...they did finally agree with Gallileo that the Earth orbits the Sun and not vice-versa!
