Pretty funny coming from someone who is advocating non-acceptance of those who don't meet your gender-stereotypic standards.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie Actually I have provided rational reasons why I am against the practice of homosexuality.

Actually, by your logic, the only acceptable sexual combination is lesbianism, which result in the lowest rate of transfer of HIV or any other STD. We should all be lesbians.

I am not advocating no acceptance, I am simply asking you for a reason, so far you have FAILED to provide a valid one. What gender-stereotypical standards are those, you have not said.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie Homosexuality in women does not negate the rationality of what I have said. I object to their practice on the basis that its anti biblical, this does not negate anything that I have previously stated and your objection is therefore moot.

That you do not accept the reasons does not make them irrational or illogical.
Can you actually show me where lesbianism is even mentioned in the Bible?

They are human beings making their own choices about whom they want to be, or acting according to their own nature, whatever that may be. Nature is sometimes apathetic to our social norms. Also individual choice.

Now you are talking nonsense. Refraining from premarital sex and having a single partner of the opposite sex for life would be a rather damning indictment against your silly and now refuted argument. How long did you take to think that up? clearly logic is not your forte.

why are you telling me this? I have already stated that everyone is a free moral agent.

Married man who has never had sex contracts HIV from contaminated blood transfusion and unwittingly infects his wife.
Meanwhile, monogamous homosexual man does not infect his partner. Monogamous homosexual woman does not infect hers (even if infected).
Bzzzzt! You lose.
Fact is, lesbian relationships have the lowest incidents of STDs, domestic violence, cheating, and divorce - of the three possible combinations. Again, we should all be lesbians.

yes, i can.
That is why God gave them over to uncontrolled sexual passion, for their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature likewise also the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full penalty, which was due for their error. - Romans 1:26-27.
Originally posted by Kunsoo Respect for that individual choice is paramount.
I don't think anyone is under duress to respect the actions of other people nor the choices they make. They can respect the free exercise of conscience though in principle.

Nope, sorry, but that passage only mentions male homosexuality. The women did something "contrary to nature" which is unspecified. Not sure what that is, since lesbianism is natural as measured by activities in other species as well as ours.

lesbians have lower STD's than people who refrain from premarital sex and have a single life partner of the opposite sex, really? evidence please.

Want to try again?
pleas learn to read,
their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature
and again
their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature
and just to make sure
THEIR FEMALES changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature
it mentions only males? are you capable of rational thought?

I disagree. Unless someone is being hurt by the individual decision, I believe we are obligated to respect individual choice. But that's perhaps my ethos not shared by you. Fine. Just don't pass laws which interfere with that choice.
