    Homosexuality and religious.

    In what way(s) are the relevant laws for people's benefit? I identify as queer and polysexual. If I was a Baha'i, how would I benefit from the Baha'i laws on homosexuality?

    Homosexuality and religious.

    No rationale, you just believe it to be important.

Suggests a God that doesn't have...

    What is marriage?

    So no specific data for your claim as to men not sticking around outside of marriage. As to comparing a committed, stable relationship to a car accident...

    What is marriage?

    Thanks for taking the time to post the refs. But most of this seems to be about those who aren't in committed, stable relationships with their partners and any associated offspring. It is perfectly possible to be in a committed, stable relationship without being married.

    Religion is not just black and white

    So how do you claim to know that some religions have faults?

    Religion is not just black and white

    You said that you consider that if a religion has faults they have been introduced by man. That suggests that you think some religions at least do have faults. I asked whether that makes you the arbiter as to those religions/their faults.

    Religion is not just black and white

    I'm sorry I'm not sure what you're saying here.

    What is marriage?

    In principle, I believe marriage to simply be an oral or written contract between two or more people that regulates the relations between them.

    Religion is not just black and white

    I wasn't talking about other people's faults, I was talking about perceived faults in religions.

    Is it difficult to be a religious person

    Perhaps the problem lies with perception of God and what God wants/commands?

    Homosexuality and religious.

    In my religion, God has no problem with homosexuality.

    Homosexuality and religious.

    Why so?

    Homosexuality and religious.

    Is the Baha'i God a loving God?

    Religion is not just black and white

    So does that make you the arbiter between what is from God and what is from man, based on where you see faults?
  18. G

    Religion is not just black and white

    You don't think there are any faults in any religion?
  19. G

    Homosexuality and religious.

    Why the latter?
  20. G

    Homosexuality and religious.

    If God has a strong dislike for something and makes somebody feel shameful for doing that something, and it is against Baha'i laws, that is bound to make them feel very bad/depressed, and is also bound to rub off on others who might shun them or treat them differently despite other teachings...
