How can love be wrong? [W:713]

Re: How can love be wrong?

What is the purpose of homosexual sex?

same as heterosexual sex....in millions of cases love and to make eachother and yourself feel good

anything else lol
 
Re: How can love be wrong?

Homosexual sex also harms people.



And homosexual sex is gross. Studies have shown that people are naturally grossed out by it.

How does homosexual sex hurt people?
 
Re: How can love be wrong?

1.)Homosexual sex also harms people.
2.)And homosexual sex is gross. Studies have shown that people are naturally grossed out by it.

1.) so does heterosexual sex
2.) so is sex with people you are not attracted to . . aka asking straight people about gay sex etc etc
LMAO i love laughing at how monumentally stupid and meaningless your posts on this topic are and facts
 
Re: How can love be wrong?

There's also prohibitions on adultery. The evidence for temple prostitution contemporary with the issue of the Torah is specious. There is still zero context regarding Temple prostitution in that scritpture and the original word used for male prostitute during that time had a much broader meaning than you realize. sodomy was the original word used in the English translations which included any unnatural sexual act of which homosexual sex was included. The use of the word homosexuality in the late 19th century was indeed pedantic because it limited the idea of sodomy but that idea was certainly not invented in the 19th century. That is a bold face lie.

Your insistence that Temple prostitution was common among the people of the middle and Far East is simply debunked in an epic takedown by Stephanie Budin,*in The Myth of Sacred Prostitution in Antiquity. An excellent summary of that work is posted here Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2009.04.28.

In 3000 years there was consistency in terms of forbidden sexual behavior among the Jewish race, and then, all the sudden in 1955 someone comes along and reinterprets the language used during that time to say something that the original writers and subsequent translations over thousands of years never indicated. Spare us all the revisionist history lessons based on your politically correct views.

I notice that the dieties it fails to address are the ones that the ancient Hebrews were concerned with (baal for one), and tend to be of a later time period that the writing down. IN fact, Deuteronomy 23:17-18 specifically uses a term for sacred prostitute when it prohibits the men and women of Israel from becoming 'sacred prostitutes'. They would not have had a specific term for it (kedeshah) if there wasn't other religions in the area that practiced it. Of course, this was from the 7th century bc, and all the example being given in your essay were from hundreds of years later.
 
Re: How can love be wrong?

Those who try to deny that we are biological creatures are not quite in touch. The biological angle does NOT eliminate the spiritual angle. We are biological and spiritual creatures.

There are many different definitions of the term 'spiritual'. Can you define 'spiritual', and then show that we are 'spiritual creatures'. That term reeks of 'woo'
 
Re: How can love be wrong?

What is the purpose of homosexual sex?

For fun/stress-relief, for bonding, for pleasure. Same reasons as to why heterosexual couples have sex.

I know that humans even slightly enjoying their lives is sickening to you, but the rest of us don't care.

What is the purpose of building a ship in a bottle? It doesn't make babies or honor any deities. There are many things humans do for pleasure that don't result in the biological continuation of the species. Just because one of them makes you feel icky inside doesn't make it wrong.

Neither does building a ship in a bottle use the means of creating life and stifle them. It's not comparable.

No. Heterosexuals have sex, and it makes babies. Anything else that is inherently closed to procreation shouldn't even be called sex as such.

LMAO Facts and sane logic disagree with your feelings
the super vast majority of sex, heterosexual sex has nothing to do with making babies
another completely failed and logical opinion posted by you
 
Re: How can love be wrong?

It doesn't.

That's what I thought. Pedophilia hurts kids b/c it mentally ****s them up. Incest is just gross b/c not only is it genetically detrimental, but mentally, it can also **** them up.

Thats not all what sex is though. Yes, ultimately, the point of sex is to create babies, but still people also have sex, for pleasure, and actually creates stronger bonds between partners or couples.

Then under your definition what's wrong with incest?

B/c it doesn't create very strong bonds, it actually can cause problems with the partners finding a normal relationship. Plus it can mentally **** them up.

I'd argue the same thing about homosexuality.

No. Because homosexuals can only be attracted to homosexuals. They wouldn't want a heterosexual relationship. And it doesn't mentally **** them up. They choose to do that between two consenting non-related adults.

It doesn't? Why are rates of suicide and depression much higher among homosexuals? Why are those rates still high even in countries that have accepted homosexuality for decades now?

Could be acceptance problems, shame, etc.

In countries that have accepted them for decades? I don't think so. Besides, studies have looked at this and not found a statistically significant relationship between acceptance and depression. The strongest relationship has been homosexuality itself.

So hobbies and recreation is fine as long as they don't involve using one's "naughty parts". Gotchya, parder!

That is a fair point. I do think this is addressed in more depth in the book. However, my biggest concern is that the act of anal intercourse (laying with a man as a woman) is forbidden expressly in Leviticus. However, several here want to justify it by saying the command in Leviticus applied only in regard to sacred prostitution. Look; everyone knows that murdering your child is wrong. However, you can't say murdering your child is OK as long as it's not sacrifice to a god just because that was a custom that was prevalent at the time in Canaan and is addressed in another part of scripture. Finding a justification for doing what you want even when specifically told not to do so is something my kids would do.

Is playing with toys as significant as your faculties that can create new life? Is creating life insignificant?

Did you see the movie, "Good Morning Vietnam"? One of the most funny and significant lines from the movie: "This man is in the most dire need of a blowjob as any man in history".

I'm not sure what made me think of that just now... hmm.
