    Homosexuality and religious.

    It's not a switch, bigotry and prejudice are not aimed only at one group.

    Homosexuality and religious.

    From being gay to not being gay, obviously. Could you change from being straight to being gay? Only I could not, and the sheer pernicious arrogance of asking others to is sickening.

    Homosexuality and religious.

    By blindly following doctrinal teaching? Maybe choice is another word that means something different to me than to Baha'is.

    What happens after we die

    Nope, but it still doesn't surprise me you don't understand the difference. I'd be minded to help edify you, but your posts long ago suggested a mind so closed as to make it a futile effort.

    You may find it helpful to define free will, as you seem to be making contradictory claims. Al's the word prove, as one wonders what your basing belief on, what for example if your criteria for accepting something as true, or conversely for disbelieving it?

    No.

    Homosexuality and religious.

    It's also a rather dishonest straw man, since no one has ever suggested same sex couples can reproduce together. Only refuted the absurd claim that gay people can't or don't reproduce, and even in precisely the way their religion risibly claims everyone should, by have intercourse primarily for...

    Homosexuality and religious.

    If you want uncritical approbation, then espousing religious absolutes that involve hate speech like homophobia to an atheist and humanist, is hardly likely to succeed, now is it? I haven't called anyone stupid, and the prejudice that has been pointed out is irrefutable, even without those...

    Because you quoted his post as a preface, obviously. What a truly bizarre question. Though this does explain the penchant for irrelevant straw men fallacies.

    Or protecting us, depending on your viewpoint, but yes science is simply a method for understanding reality. It can of course help make informed choices about what we deem moral, and why. Uncritically following doctrine, is simply indoctrination, it is in no way morality, which by definition...

    Or who recognises unevidenced subjective and anecdotal claims espoused uncritically as absolutes, to be the very definition of indoctrination.

    Homosexuality and religious.

    Science is a toolbox, a collection of methods we use to examine and understand reality. The process can help us make informed decisions about what we (subjectively) deem to be moral and why. Religions are just a collection of often errant and archaic doctrine and dogma. Telling someone they...

    Agreed, but this rather loaded response kisses the point. Perfect morality reflecting base human prejudices is a rather obvious paradox.
  14. Sheldon

    Homosexuality and religious.

    No it isn't. I'm using the common usage found in any dictionary. Your biased subjective version is irrelevant to my point.
  15. Sheldon

    Homosexuality and religious.

    Nope, that's just a subjective opinion, other humans have the right to measure your claims against science, logic and even their own subjective morality, when that is manifestly less pernicious.

    Not a according to your religion.

    A fact need not he "proven" only known to be true.
  18. Sheldon

    Homosexuality and religious.

    Straw man....and gay men and women can and do have babies, or are you still laughably trying to pretend otherwise.
  19. Sheldon

    Homosexuality and religious.

    You ignored the question, the reason is manifest, your claim was asinine nonsense.

    You evaded another question. I wonder why...
