Homosexuality is unarguably natural, as it occurs in nature.

Cannibalism and infanticide are natural too. That doesn't mean they are good things.

Seems we are making progress.

Much like cannibalism and infanticide, even though gay behavior occurs in the animal world, it is not natural to humans.

I am glad you asked.

If we accept the gay lifestyle as "normal" because other animals do it, should we also accept infanticide, cannibalism and murder as normal?

Cannibalism has been recorded in 1,500 species.

Infanticide has been widely observed in the animal world.

Just because apes kill their own kind, does that mean we should accept murder as normal?

Ahh, but just because we're animals doesn't mean we can't apply logic and reason.

Any reasonable person can see the difference between homosexuality and the behaviors you listed.

Just because we shun them in civilized societies doesn't mean those behaviors are not "natural" to humans. We're just smart enough to know that, unlike homosexuality, they are detrimental to society as a whole.

Shows what you know, both cannibalism and infanticide have been seen throughout human history.

Ready to give up yet?

Sex=cannibalism and infanticide? Because apes groom themselves, we'd better not. Where is the logic?

Like what difference?

There are certain behaviors exhibited in the animal world that humans do not tolerate.

Give what up?

Accept an immoral lifestyle as normal? No thank you.

OP, do you have any discussion pertaining to the article, or is this just another soapbox for you to discuss how badly you hate gays?

What's funny is that his opinions are basically straight out of an 80's or 90's sitcom.

Off all the ignorant, illogical, and fallacious turds that the OP has dumped on these forums, this has to be the worst.

You cannot be this stupid. You cannot possibly be so f*cking obtuse that you don't realize who goes to Africa to "save" them and make them homophobes in the first place. I won't believe it.

You may have finally slipped up and revealed that you are indeed a troll.

Why is something other people do with/feel toward each other in need of your approval in the first place? Even if you feel that these people are doing something horrible, it has no direct impact on your life. Why not just let them do it? Is the idea of two men or two women marrying really so threatening to your way of life and your personal happiness that you feel it must be stopped?

I'm sure this has more to do with the US' support of equal marriage rights than it does with people trying to indoctrinate the populous of Africa on their "mission from God".

So now that we all agree homosexuality is natural, what's your next excuse for why it is immoral?

So infanticide is natural? Then why is it illegal for humans?

I once had a rabbit who would eat her kits. Every litter she had she would eat the heads and most of the bodies of her babies. I ended up knocking that rabbit in the head and eating her.

If a human woman were to eat her baby, she would be put in prison.

Gay male sex is disgusting, offensive, immoral, unhealthy,,,, and a lot of other things I am not going to post.

Female gay sex, now that is hot. I do a little muffin munching myself.

But I disagree with either group being able to marry.

why does it bother you so much that men are attracted to men and enjoy sucking cock? how does this affect you at all? oh thats right your heath insurance is 1 cent higher due to HIV?AIDS treatment.

Hate? No, its just the truth.

Gay men are 16 times more likely to develop anal cancer than heterosexuals.

Gay men have the highest rates of HIV of all groups.

But for some reason I am full of hate for stating the facts?





Do you screw your wife in the ass every night?

Probably not.

fyi, most gay guys don't have anal every night either

Christians are being killed in Africa because Christians here in the states are changing their stance on gays.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/rel...rophic-for-African-Christians-Archbishop.html


So what do you do?

Not support gay marriages and piss people here in the states off? But at least missionaries are not being killed in third world nations.

One solution is pull Christians out of Africa. So who is going to feed the children, provide health care and bring in food?

I do not see any atheist or feminist groups standing in line to provide services to war torn nations in Africa. But then again, those groups would probably be slaughtered faster than Christians.

Which is the lesser of the two evils?

Not support gay marriage and be left alone so Christian groups can provide much needed relief efforts.

Support gay marriage and be killed while trying to provide help.

I am thinking that as a welder you worked on too much Galvanized.

Sounds like too little protein in the rabbit's diet. Or under stress.

Just because apes kill their own kind, does that mean we should accept murder as normal?

Cue image of last supper with Jesus captioned as saying "Eat me."

Also, Infanticide as a subset of genocide.

Special bonus: Both cannibalism AND infanticide: 2 Kings 6:28-29 (Context note: May not be advocating the acts, but you'll note they aren't charged with murder, nor are they all that shy about telling the king what happened)
