exactly, why are you?5233andy said:Based on Christian teaching, parents are encouraged to raise their children with the values that the Church upholds. When it comes to homosexuality and the issue of whether it's nature or nurture; if it's nurture, whose fault is it, really?
I don't support the homosexuality, nor do I condemn it. However, by considering these people as burdens on society, are our actions Christian-like? Can't we all simply put aside our differences and treat all with the dignity of a human being? Because that's what we all are, we're human beings. Should we drive the wedge between social groups deeper, we're essentially destroying the whole of humanity.
Is it nature or nurture? Oh, I don't know... the more we attempt to answer this question and beget homosexuality, we're digging holes for ourselves. In many respects, it's a cosmic question, perhaps worthy of being ejected into the void.
ANyways, homosexuality is somewhat 'strange', something that I can't comprehend. But it often appears as though there's a growing trend of this 'lifestyle', if you will, or in lack of a better term. It just defies human conscience... I guess... :S
Nevertheless, why am I even caring about this?
I was referring to Christians generally, not that dogmatic Catholic bullshit where any Pope or looney can have a dream and suddenly add things to the religion.melanieeeee. said:we dont soley rely on the bible.

I completely reject the Pauline Epistles as well, to be honest, so you're not going to hear an argument about me on all these morons who have dreams or whatever.Enteebee said:Nothing loonier about saying the Pope can have a dream and be touched by the divinity of Christ now than saying 2000 years ago X was touched in a similar way by God to write Y.

What is hard to comprehend about two members of the same sex showing love and admiration for each other. If it's easy to comprehend in an heterosexual sense, why is it hard to comprehend in a homosexual sense?ANyways, homosexuality is somewhat 'strange', something that I can't comprehend.

What are we left with once we remove the possibility of divine inspiration? Doesn't that somewhat invalidate some of the claims of Jesus?PwarYuex said:I completely reject the Pauline Epistles as well, to be honest, so you're not going to hear an argument about me on all these morons who have dreams or whatever.
Well that's a valid 'reason', if you could call it that - more than it is a reason, perhaps it's fact. My understanding of the Christian Church is that the Bible promotes love. There's nothing wrong with that, don't get me wrong. The issue is where the Church condemns homosexuality - it's supposedly a plague, burdening the world. As I've mentioned in my previous post, it very much is indeed time to perhaps break free of this cycle of hatred. I can understanding those who are 'devout' Christians, [I've emphasised 'devout' as often, an individual claims to be a devout Christian, however, their actions appear to be the antithesis of the morals and values that are taught through the religion] however, certain individuals cannot see the love between individuals, that is, homosexuals. Does evil promote love? I don't think it does, so, in this sense, is the 'issue' really evil? Well, we've certainly made it become evil - it's this great social divide, which inevitably causes us to be socially and morally inept - perhaps it's time for us, as a whole, use our conscience and intelligence for the better of society. After all, 'we are the most intelligence of organisms on this planet'...
