: Normal, in the context of this discussion, is not gay vs. gay. With
: roughly 98% of the earth's population not gay, you stand on shakey
: ground saying homosexuality isn't abnormal behavior.

No I stand on firm ground. What is abnormal for you is not necassarily abnormal for others.


: If one approaches the Bible or any other ecclesiatical standard to
: wrestle it into submission to their point of view, they have placed
: themselves and their opinions above that standard - the height of
: arrogance. Before you accuse me of doing this, let's hear you reconcile
: the words of Christ "Judge not..." to the many scriptures that condemn
: the various forms of sexual sin, of which homosexuality is included.
: If you don't agree that homsexuality is sin, why are you quoting
: any scripture to me? Would it be to wrestle the Bible into
: submission to your point of view?

No offense, but I don't wrestle with the bible towards submission or any other way. I am not christian. I was merely using it for an example.

: Indeed! I ask you to perceive all scripture and find where God intends
: your mind to balance on any given issue. To confirm homosexuality with
: the "Judge not.." text and then disregard the sin aspect of it makes
: you seem rather illustrative of your own statement.

I do not believe in god so what god intends is of no concern to me. Can't we all just get along? You have no way of knowing what you would feel if you had a child that happened to be homosexual but I fear it would become one sad self hating person....There are many things that others do that I do not always approve of or like or understand, but reality is just something we either accept or deny, the chips fall where they may. Accepting can make it alot easier for all involved.
