Let's hope some rebellious teenager happens on this thread and realises their presumed homosexuality is just a fad. like dieing their hair purple, and yes they will grow out of ot as they hopefully mature.

Girls who comply with this model are known as LUGs (apparently).



Also, I'd forgotten that all hard science is seen as an "excuse" by a lot of traditionalists.

The social sciences are not hard sciences. They don't follow the traditional cause/effect paradigm and are notoriously gray and ambiguous.

I would have thought any serious student of sociology would know that.



Unfortunately, I also believe that God created our brains and gave us reason and the ability to learn. I also believe that he expects us to use that reason and ability to learn, not just take everything we've been told on faith.

So let's get this straight - God gives us brains so we can oppose His guidance to us provided in the scriptures???

And thank you, tristan, for the welcome. I've had similar long-winded debates on other sites. I'll agree that it gets difficult to make any argument against the statements: "Things are the way they are because that's the way they are, and things should stay the way they are just because that's how they've always been."

So much damage has been and is being caused by those ideas.
