Is homosexuality sinful or unnatural? Why?

Do you think it sinless and natural? Why?

Can you prove your claim?
 
I don't believe in "sin", so I can't answer that question. Unnatural? No.

Variations occur in nature. Hair color, handedness, eye color, height...and within commonly occuring variations (i.e. blue/brown eyes), there are abnormal exceptions (i.e. green or hazel eyes). There isn't a biological or physiological component of life that doesn't have variation. To think sexuality is any different seems...odd. I can't prove anything because I'm not a scientist.
 
How can one prove something is a sin or not? Would that not mean you would have to prove the religion is right?

I don't care about sin.

Only to those who believe it is.

I don't believe in sin and I don't think it is artificial. It occurs naturally, so it's natural.

I don't feel the need to, I'm not trying to convert anyone to homosexuality, nor am I desperate that everyone agrees with it. I'm perfectly willing to stay the hell out of other people's bedrooms provided they stay out of mine.
 
Sinful? Perhaps to some but like Tess I do not believe in "sin".

Natural? Sure it is found in nature however I would not use nature as an acceptable/not acceptable measure. After all some animals will kill and eat their young in times of stress or if they feel their off spring is flawed. I would not recommend such behavior in humans obviously.

Do I see anything wrong with homosexuality among consenting adults? No.
 
From biblical sense it is a sin, but so is stealing, adultery, drunkenness,idol worship and many other things. From society's perspective maybe it is and maybe its not depending on the society.

As for being un-natural of course. We are not a hermaphroditic species,so same sex intercourse do not promote procreation. So the idea that someone who finds the opposite sex repulsive and carry on their genetic traits is laughable. Sure some animals engage in what appears to be homosexual sex but that male dog is not humping the other male dog because it finds other male dogs attractive,nor is that female dog humping other female dogs because it finds other female dogs attractive.

It's not wrong in any way and "natural" is nothing but propaganda, as it is used by the opponents of civil rights because they cannot offer even a slightly rigorous definition.

Where's that option.
 
You can't prove sin, I don't believe it to be sin, but you can't prove it.

And it is natural, it happens in nature, therefore it is natural.
 
I believe that it is a sin according to the Bible. I also believe it's unnatural.

I think you meant to poll on homosexual acts. the temptation itself not being any more sinful than any temptation.

Really digs? How can it be unnatrual, when it happens in nature, and isn't artificial? Homosexual sex acts don't lead to procreation, but that doesn't mean it's not natural. Also being natural doesn't make it a good thing to do, or morally right, cannibalism is natural, but that doesn't make it right.
 
I believe it's unnatural that we have a poll like this every month and it is started by straight people. :roll:

Not goin' with Jesus on this one?
 
It's not a sin in my beliefs (although I know that some people believe that it is a sin according to their religion or personal religious beliefs).

Yes, homosexuality is natural because attraction is natural (from what I believe about attraction and my definition of natural). Homosexuality is an attraction to people of the same sex, not the sexual acts that are associated with being done by people of the same sex when engaging in sex. Also, it doesn't matter if it is somehow unnatural (although I don't know how it could be unnatural). We don't outlaw things just because they are "unnatural", even if the majority believes they are unnatural.

There is no proof necessary to prove that it isn't a sin (sin comes from personal and/or religious beliefs) nor that whether it is natural or not (as explained above). Neither it being a sin or natural/unnatural can be considered when it comes to making laws or ensuring equal protection.

Just curious. How do you define sin?
 
I don't consider it unnatural. Considering it happens routinely in nature, where situations of "upbringing" and such aren't present, I think its a bit ridiculous to call it such.

As to whether or not its a sin in a general sense, that's up to each individual religious person to decide based on their best understanding of their belief system. In an absolute sense, whether or not its a sin is something we frankly will not and can not fully know in our mortal lives and would only be known by God if there is one.

I don't think any laws should prohibit Christians from thinking Homosexuality is a sin or disliking it. However, their disliking it or disapproval of it isn't a reasonable reason for the law to act against Homosexuals and the law...which should be secular...supporting their rights is not forcing Christians to "like" homosexuality nor believe its not a sin.

I always have to like a thread that IMO is just covered and oozing with objectivity and common sense :D:applaud

Well stated, I agree.

I don't think the sexuality of other animals can be equated to human sexuality. My definition of unnatural is how the reproductive system of the human species is designed. The reproductive system was designed for the opposite sex. Even though I believe homosexuality is unnatural and a sin I still support homosexual rights, those are just my beliefs on the matter.
 
Dont know nor do i care. If they are gay then hell, they are gay..

The act is not unnatural, as it happens in nature. Sinful? I have concerns there and am not convinced it is sinful. However, as noted, that's more personal belief and how you define sin. Even if it were sinful, we have little right to legislate someone else's behavior without just case, meaning more than it being it sinful to us.

I never mentioned other animals sexual practices, I only mentioned humans. And humans practice homosexual behavior without artificial interference, or help, so therefore it is natural. And like I said, just because something is natural doesn't mean it is good, like cannibalism, and alot of unnatural things are good, such as how me and you are communicating right now.
