Refreshing the homosexuality debate

[Powerman]

I see from the survey it appears that most people here think that homosexuality is a choice and a sin.

If that were true, wouldn't that mean that we're all inherently bisexual in nature? So what you're all telling me is you find members of the same sex equally as attractive as members of the opposite sex, but you choose the opposite sex because you read the bible?

I'm confused here

I think they're just a bunch of haters who use the bible to justify it.

I'm a little confused. How does most people here thinking homosexuality is a sin mean that we're all inherently bisexual?

Oddly enough,something similar to this came up at work today. I work with a girl who is "with" another girl and has been for a while. She has been married and had three kids. Hubby was a jerk and didn't help her much. She told us today that she is bisexual(kind of obvious) she hadn't stopped liking men,but after her divorce,she felt she never really had gotten her crazies out. That's when she entertained the idea of a woman. It was a total choice.

She told me all of this after I had asked her if she felt she always liked women or did it happen after her divorce,because her husband was a jerk.

Just because someone uses the Bible to base their moral opnions on,does not mean they are "haters". People are allowed to think it's wrong,but it doesn't mean they hate all gay people. It means they think it's a sin...so what?

I don't hate, nor do I read the bible. I am catholic but rarely get to church.

I 'despise' homosexuality, and I justify that because I find it offensive, disgusting, abnormal & bad for society.

Okay just a hater then.

Well, perhaps you could help un-confuse me by explaining how you came to that particular conclusion. As it stands, I have no clue how you made the jump you did.

Acting on ANY sexual impulse is a choice.

But what science has yet to prove is that there is any genetic (or even biological) component to homosexual impulses. Until such proof is presented and accepted by the scientific community at large, I'll stick with it being an abnormal choice.

Thinking homosexuality is a CHOICE implies that we're all inherently bisexual.

If choice is involved, that means you're equally attracted to both sexes.

In other words, like most heterosexuals you have a natural aversion to acts of gay sex. Repugnance isn't and never was a logical justification for saying that something is immoral.

Oh Pleaseeeeeeee..

Somebody who doesn't agree with homosexual are haters, bigots, bla, bla bla..

That's not working anymore...

Get a new shtick..

If you think it's a sin, that's fine. And it's fine for me to think that you're ridiculous for thinking it's a sin as well.

But let's move on. My problem isn't that people think it's a sin, it's that they condemn it with much more disdain than other sins. We're all sinners according to the bible. Why is homosexuality looked at as a much worse sin than some others?

[LiberalNation]

Not just disagree but demonize & insult. It's at that level for many of the posters here.

[Powerman]

Okay just a hater then.

Would you politely exit this debate. I can handle this myself without you making my side look stupid.

Thanks

[LiberalNation]

nope

I disagree.

There is a choice, on which way to go through life, that our education and parenting assist with - but I don't think it's like we're all bisexual and flip a coin for our decision. It's not as much that we choose to be heterosexual but rather we choose NOT to go the homosexual route.

I'm still a firm believer that the penis and vagina were made in certain ways for a reason, they just kinda fit together. The womans body was made to be able to procreate. The mans body was made to deliver. One's ass is made for shitting.
