    Skywalker: Yes, it is a scary thing.

    Ben: god says this, god says that... are those always the reasons for the anti-gay people around here and in this world? Drop the hatred and other unsupported crap and stop trying to classify homosexuality as a birth defect. It certainly isn't.
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      I like both gay sex and alcoholics, and thank my chromosomes all the time
      I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

              This thread is indeed historical. For the first time ever, about every reasonable person agress with the position defended COMMONLY by FEZ and ODIN

                  Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you.

                      Of course not. There is no evidence that homosexuality is remotely genetic.

                          It's like alcoholism, an alcoholic damages his body, as does a homosexual. Whether one uses the right or left hand does not hurt a person, whereas alcholism most certainly does. This is why we encourage people who have a predisposition to drink to overcome their predisposition because they will be better for it in the long run.

                          Finally, why would a merciful God give people these predispositions?

                          Why does God give us the afflictions of the flesh, disability, etc. I ought to confess here that I am not far from being totally deaf, that I am profoundly hearing impaired, something that God has not seen fit to heal.

                          Why would he do this? To punish me for some sin? No. He makes use of everyone regardless of their talents, in that those with similar burdens may encourage each other. Do we not cry when we hear someone profoundly afflicted, yet they believe and trust in Christ, and wait for the better times of the resurrection?

                          Let us help our brothers who suffer, show them the better path.
                          Why do you always have to put some kind of blatant insult in your arguments?

                          Homosexuality is NOT a disorder or an illness. Safe, homosexual sex acts do not create health problems, and stable relationships between two people of the same gender is certainly not signs of an illness.

                          And as for your last part about helping our "brothers" -- I resent being looked upon as lost sheep of the flock. It's so patronizing and paternalistic.
                          A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                            Actually, Panzer32 has a point, in that you gays shouldn't use the "natural determination" to justify your behaviour as moral. Hack, if I was you, I'd be just giving the finger to the religious whackos who expect you to live according to the principles of some nomadic priests of 4000 years ago

                              The guy who wrote the article obviously doesn't know anything about genetic science. Genes aren't produced in "higher amounts" under certain conditions in mammals, that's utter nonsense. We each have a specific number of genes that does not vary among autosomal cells(i.e. ordinary cells, not sperm or ovae). We have 23 chromosome pairs, and the number of genes on each does not vary during life except in cancer cells. Girls have two X chromosomes, while boys have one X and one Y. In that sense girls have more genetic material than boys, because the additional X chromosome is larger than the Y one.

                              In the adult brain the nerve cells last for life, so once an animal reaches maturity it produces no new DNA strands, i.e., no new genes. What this guy said about certain genes being produced in great amounts in one sex therefore is utter nonsense. Maybe the study actually said that certain genes are transcribed onto t-RNA in greater abundance in one sex, but that's not what this author said.

                                Then what is with your illogical homophobia?

                                And I'd like to see one shred of proof that shows homosexuality isn't moral...
