Yup. It's a safety valve of some kind, I think. Probably why it's to be found so extensively in nature.

You mean it's the queer's fault Mom made me eat the damn Brussel sprouts, saying there was children starving in Asia/Africa/India?

Based on what? It happens in most animal species and it is no more unholy than eating crab claws.

Christianity vs Islam? Didn't they release a whirling dervish remix of 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot?'

Unholy, because it’s against my religion as well as just about every other major religion. As for unnatural, just because animals do something it doesn’t make it right for us. Let’s not forget animals also murder one another regularly, eat their own waste and sometimes even their offspring.

I think this line's mostly filler.

I guess that renders "unnatural" a bit useless as a derogatory term.

There are 613 other abominations, tell my what makes sodomy different?
BTW, oral sex with one's wife is sodomy also, not just same sex relations.
Abominations are not sins and one abomination is not worse than another, so if you are not going to persecute someone for wearing a poly/cotton shirt or planting corn and tomatoes in their garden too you have no leg to stand-on.

I think "abomination" may be too strong a word here. I'm merely saying I believe the act itself to be wrong. Also, I never said anything about sodomy, I only referred to the act of homosexuality.

Why? Don't feel sorry for me because I don't think the same way as you, that is what makes us individuals.

The only person I judge is myself. As I was telling RK, I am only saying I believe the act of homosexuality to be wrong. I like to ocassionally drink, which is against my religion, and I believe that to be wrong as well, that doesn't mean I think all drinkers are degenerates.

I suppose the combination of the sad face, the "too bad" and the well placed period threw me.

So, if you are not using the bible, how do you feel what others do is any of your business or for you to judge at all? What are you judging it against?

RK you're an Atheist right? So does the fact that you personally don't believe in God mean that you are judging the rest of us that do?
