can someone explain to me why/how being homosexual is not an illness?

didn't god make gays?

 

In nature there are eunuchs (which Jesus even mentioned) and hermaphrodites, an illness is something you catch, so if it is not a lifestyle choice the word however offensive would be “mutation.” Ancients obsessed with scribing genealogy and maintaining tribal integrity in the crossroads of civilization, in need of good sword arms in the militia before standing armies after Saul, where some modern studies have suggested children raised by Gays are less violent than those raised by traditional male and female, might have noticed something, hence a desire to destroy those found who abandon the natural use of the body; a god need not apply.

The increase in the Iranian “phenomenon” might be environmental as you suggested, we simply have enough breeders, I had the same idea myself, or simply a result of the pressure to conform and have the traditional marriage sham or "manly" sham which spread the genes. An environment where “Don Juan” is really hanging around with lesbians, around the time of the discovery of the USS Norton Sound’s 60 something lesbeans during Raygun, and the straight guys want to get in on the action resulted in discovery that my roommate in the Navy barracks who was not “Don Juan” was Gay, when I thought he was also a ladies man too. And later one of Don Juan’s Lesbean “seat-covers” (CB talk), who was incredibly hot, went on a date with me and another girl; one of the discovered Lesbeans turned out to be quite a good drinking buddy, although she kind of looked like a truck driver. If over time the Iranian “phenomenon” decreases with acceptance the gene spreading would decrease, that is if it is something inheritable. Those who believe it can be a lifestyle choice are going to find it hard to easily accept the non-breeders raising the children of breeders.

Anyway, the tyranny of nine appointed for life Platonic Philosopher Kings is going to be hypocritical and dictate Gay Marriage but not Bisexual marriage, because Gay bigots say bisexuals can be Gay or Straight but not fulfill their destiny.

 

Yes, but He didn't force them to engage in homosexuals activities.

 

Truthfully, because there have been actual cases of people bumping their heads, and changing from straight to gay and gay to straight. It's like a switch in the brain.

 

That is hardly a sound psychological theory.

 

Indeed. It's certainly not.

Yes indeed, though the word illness is perhaps not the best word. Biologically useless is more like it, with the exception that sex could be a bonding activity and such. Yes, oral sex, anal sex, and masturbation are meaningless activities as far as spreading your genes is concerned. I suppose I should be fair and point out that a penis isn't primarily meant for butts or mouths either, even if of the opposite sex. As for birth control, that's due to technology, so it's not really comparable. Still biologically worthless though.

There's no manual, but most people can figure it out by themselves. Sperms and eggs, penis and vagina. They do seem to have specific uses. Sperm isn't just a random and meaningless substance, nor is a penis just a random knob, or a vagina a random hole. I'm not saying homosexuality is wrong by some morals standards. I'm just saying that it's biologically meaningless.

 

You're talking about a user who supports Sarah Palin for POTUS. This shouldn't be surprising.

 

Screw the invisible man in the sky.....he hasn't done anything because he's not there:

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own--a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human fraility. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature.

~Dr. Albert Einstein~

 

I don't think the manner in which someone chooses to have sex with another consenting adult qualifies as criteria for measuring mental illness. Perhaps if sexual intercourse wasn't a pleasing/enjoyable action (and only meant for procreation) then you'd have to be bat-(*)(*)(*)(*) crazy to do it otherwise.

 

Actually homosexuallity is a birth defect.

 

And that makes you feel jealous?

Link? Or shall we just assume you got bumped in the groin?

 

Then monogamous marriage must be an illness, since it too is biologically meaningless.

 

No it's not, because being with your mate and helping them raise your shared offspring is a good way of furthering your genes. But obviously, there's other strategies, like just screwing around with as many people as possible, which some humans are also predisposed to.

 

Anyone else just gay'd out at this point?

 

Should one's choice of lifestyle be considered a mental illness?

*shrug* who know after all liberals think conservatives are mentally ill and vice versa.

 

It's certainly not "normal". Of course nothing that exists in the 3-4 percentile is.

But I wouldn't consider it an illness either.



Haven't read the thread yet but I put $50 on you being called a "hateful homophobe who is probably gay" at least 10 times.

 

Okay sure:

No. He didn't make liars, thieves, or people filled with any other sin either.

He made perfect people. Two actually. One was male one was female.

Neither of them were gay (thankfully).

 

I agree, there is no "invisible man in the sky." But we are talking about God.

 

More things pulled out of people's nether regions. Figures.

 

This is a discussion about homosexuality.... you don't need to be so graphic about it.

 

So let's just say for a second it is a disease, an incurable one as of now.

Do you think it is right to impair their life because so?

Should people with STD's be punished for sex? What about an AIDS patient having sex with another AIDS patient? Is that non status quo?

 

this is the most logical reasoning behind it that i've found- either as an adaptation against over population, or a willing removal of ones specific genetics to help take care of close relatives.

 

Plus.....in the recent past 50% of the marriages end in divorce.....that's a coin toss.

 

Only if second, third, fourth marriages are considered. First marriages tend to have a lower divorce rate (and have for quite some time).
