Wow. What a bunch of vile crap. Again, children can't consent. Your comparison of non-consensual RAPE to a loving, consensual committed relationship is repulsive, not to mention laughably uninformed. I think I'm done responding to homophobic rants.

And I ask you too, what age children are you speaking of? Because we have "children" forcing each other to have sex. So if we are rationalize there to be a evolutionary "purpose" for homosexuality, then you also have to consider there might be a evolutionary purpose for men to be attracted to much younger people and vice versa.

As disgusting as that concept might sound on the surface, science isn't always pretty. I'm sure if we all had to butcher our own cows for hamburgers, a lot more of us would be vegetarians.

You want me to open my mind to the possibility that there may be a reason for homosexuality even though there is none that I can think of. Yet you have dismissed any comparison to pedo or even ephobophilia in the name of "consent". "Consent" is irrelevant to the situation when we are talking whether something is a normal condition for a human. A sexual urge you are born with is not dependent on "consent". We are born omnivorous whether cows want us to eat them or not. And I'm sure there is a woman that would probably not absolutely love to be my sexual partner. I haven't met her yet though. LOL

A doctor's take on it..
MHAMic - Is Pedophilia a Mental Disorder? (Green)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Excellent posting.

I don't believe that people are born pedophiles, that usually comes from abuse. Again, homosexuality is victimless, child abuse is not. And guess what, a pedophile is free to be attracted to whomever he chooses, his is not free however to act on them. Let's keep our laws straight, one is biblical and one is secular. One can break biblical laws without going to jail, and that is for a reason. Our reason has come a long way since the days of laws on the books that were clearly unconstitutional. Homosexuality is a lifestyle that is not chosen. Why can't people just be who they are, without someone else trying to change them. There is no victim here, therefore, no outside influences are necessary to try and make others see the error of their ways. Some would say that the error is with you, for judging someone based on something that has nothing to do with you, and has no effect on your life. It's the same as someone telling you that you can't have sex with your wife on Thursday, because they decided that they don't like it and it's immoral. And you're like, "But Thursday is the only day I can be with my wife", and they say well that's just too bad, if you can't change that then you're going to hell. So freaking ridiculous.

Actually there's developing evidence that pedophiles may be genetically predisposed to be that way. Differences in handedness, and brain structure among some of the differences that have been noted. As some homosexual people have asked, "Do you think a person would choose to be a pedophile"?

I've never approached this from a Biblical angle. And IMHO it doesn't take a religious person to see that there is something amiss about homosexuality. It's not that difficult a concept.

No one ever said that homosexuals can't "be" gay, just that calling the legal recognition if the union should never be called a "marriage" since it doesn't quality as such. If we are gonna just create laws simply in the name of "fairness" and "It doesn't hurt anybody" and can't use any morality in judging what is right and wrong, there's another sexual deviant desire that shares a term with homosexual acts that is prohibited for mostly religious and moral reasons.

How did this thread about abortion end up being yet another thread feebly trying to compare gay people to pedophiles?

It started when someone questioned my comment where I said that "Lesbianism is another problem entirely".
Pedophilia and homosexuality have at least as much in common as homosexuality, racism and miscegenation. Yet they seem to come up quite often when discussing homosexuals as well. So bite me with the "feeble" attempt to pretend that the link between two "sexual orientations" isn't valid.

It does qualify as marriage, just not in the terms in the bible as husband and wife. And deviance is relative to your opinion. Not everyone would define deviant in the same fashion as you. People who have sex with children are nowhere like homosexuals. Please stop equating them. And two people in a committed loving relationship are not deviants. If you don't like the kind of sex they have, then you don't have to have that kind of sex.
