Sitting down is not the same thing as engaging in promiscuous sex is it. If not then your argument makes NO SENSE!

The analogy, however, does highlight the weakness of your argument.

I will not condemn an entire demographic group but will condemn immoral behaviour by individuals.

It does not claim to be "the same thing". It is an analogy. And, once again, it does highlight the weakness of your argument.

No it doesn't, its not even relevant and is typical argument one meets when arguing against deaths from guns, more people die on the roads etc should we stop driving cars etc . Its a nonsense. It doesn't even address the same issue.

No its doesn't, infact its not even relevant. Its like saying people have died in a hot climate by not drinking enough water, therefore not drinking enough water is dangerous. Its a nonsense argument.

Your argument that risks attached to behaviour make it immoral to engage in that behaviour. Proper Knob's analogies about cars and sitting down and my reference to the risks of heterosexual sex reveal your argument to be weak.

I am making perfect sense, you will tell us what driving a car has to do with engaging in promiscuous sex.

they are not even relevant, driving a car is not the same as engaging in promiscuous sex. You were telling us how remaining chaste carried with it the same risk as engaging in promiscuous sex, after all according to you all sexual activities contain risk, is that so?

Like I said, promiscuity may well involve morally unsound behavior but I do not think promiscuity is, in and of itself, morally unsound.

So, you are simply going to ignore the evidence. As expected. Hypocrite.

It's an analogy. It makes no claim that they are "the same". But it does reveal the weakness of your contention that risk attached to an act makes the act immoral.

So if its not the same then what relevance does it have? Am I at the same risk of dying in an aeroplane than if I never fly? If not then the comparison is ludicrous, for I will likely never catch HIV from driving a car, will I.
