Race and sexual orientation are two very different things.

Race and sexual orientation are two very different things.
- bastawhiz 5y agoThey are, but they are also two characteristics that folks don't have any choice about.
- azth 5y agoFalse. Even if for the sake of argument people didn't have a choice over their sexuality, they do definitely have a choice in not engaging in same sex relationships. Just like someone with violent tendencies chooses not to go killing others and take anger management lessons.
- dwaltrip 5y agoWhat is wrong with being gay? What specific harm do they cause?
- azth 5y agoYou're already assuming a conclusion with that question. Does everything have to be about apparent or obvious harm to be prohibited? Secondly, if we were to prove harm, would it deter you? The secular West has adopted the philosophy of "everything goes as long as it doesn't harm me", which falls apart at scrutiny. This philosophy has also invaded their Christian population, which is why you see they caved to pressure.

- azth 5y agoThat's not me. I suggest you remove that link from your comment as you're doxxing people. I'll be reporting your post.
- dwaltrip 5y agoYou haven't explained your opposition to gay people. Can you please do so? I apologize for assuming it was due to some imagined harm.
- azth 5y agoDefine "opposition". In any case, God forbids homosexual relationships. Whether the harms of such relationships are apparent to us or not is secondary.
- dwaltrip 5y agoI see, thank you for explaining. I don’t believe in any gods so that doesn’t hold any weight for me but I’m glad I understand your position better.
- azth 5y agoThere's only one God actually. Not believing in anything mean that you have no basis for absolute morality.
- dwaltrip 5y agoHumans evolved a sense of morality so that we could live and work together in groups, which helps us survive. Morality is effective at doing this, regardless of any notion of absoluteness or not. I still have moral views despite not believing in any god.
- azth 5y agoThe moral views you have are remnants from both (1) fitrah (natural disposition, which is not free from corruption by the way, and (2) a Judeo-Christian view of the world. While both of those religions have been corrupted, their still exists remnants of Truth that people cling to, whether they are aware of that or not.
- bastawhiz 5y agoThe same argument could be made for interracial couples. Your point is based on nothing more than bigotry.
- azth 5y agoExcept that interracial marriage is not prohibited by Christianity.
- odonnellryan 5y agoWomen are subservient to men in Christianity. This is very clear. Does this make it right?
- azth 5y agoHow do you decide what's right?
- odonnellryan 5y agoI don't.
- azth 5y agoSo your question doesn't make sense, right?
- odonnellryan 5y agoNo, it makes sense as a question, I think. Maybe it doesn't make sense to you.
- azth 5y agoIf you can't decide what's right from wrong, why ask? It means that you have no way of telling whether anything is right or wrong. Is murder wrong? Is stealing wrong? Is interest wrong? We don't know I suppose eh?
