    Homosexuality and Evolution

    Scientifically speaking, to call a trait genetic is the same as saying trait continued via evolution- unless I am mistaken?

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Although, to emphasize my earlier point- it is true that we can only know he married a 6 year old based on the hadiths alone. A Koranist could easily argue there is no basis for it. As you saw in my following posts- I doubt the man existed myself. I have a similar skepticism to Jesus, but I also...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    You propagate this nonsense. Association in my book. There are LGBT people seriously hurt by what you're condoning.

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    What allegations are those? As for there being contemporary evidence for Muhammad: what specifically? The hadiths do not qualify, and neither do people far removed from Arabia who only had word of mouth that Muhammad was real. People like Sophronious of Jerusalem specifically.

    Who are you backing now? (US pres '16)

    I initially backed Clinton until Sanders announced. I'm backing Bernie first, Hillary second. I will vote blue no matter who, and even though there's several areas I don't agree with him in>>> if I were to vote Republican, Rubio is the most reasonable one in this year's lot.

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Oh you do! You lie to gay people that are potentially scared and hurting, and vulnerable- especially youth.

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    If Muhammad existed, its quite probable he did marry a young girl by our modern standards. That hardly changes that the Bible is little better in this area.

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    A Saudi Imam does not speak for the whole of Islam. He speaks for the state of Saudi Arabia, its agenda, and its version of Islam. Again: where in the Quran does it say Muhammad married Aisha at 6? I am being serious that your criticism of Islam is quite shaky when the Bible contains pedophilia...

    Is Quran copied from Jewish Bible/Torah? : Quran did not copy from Jewish Bible/Torah

    My question for the OP is if they think it would somehow devalue the Quran if it did copy from the Bible? Somehow make it less true? Doesn't the Quran claim the Bible is the divine revelation of Allah too? All religious traditions borrow. Borrowing and exchanging ideas is as human as it gets.

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Right, so no evidence then. Yet you have no issue teaching a idea that damages people emotionally and even drives them to suicide while having no evidence. Don't expect my respect. Ex-gay conversion therapy hurts people, and telling gay people they are not who they feel hurts them, and the woman...

    Homosexuality and Evolution

    Well you're free to think that. We all have opinions.

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    The Bible promotes pedophilia too by your standard. Genesis uses the Hebrew word 'Narah' to describe Rebekkah when she married Isaac. That means small girl prior to marital age. Its really not fair just to go after Islam, and that's not even mentioning that the only source for Muhammad marrying...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Glad to see you don't presume to judge for your god too at least. Then you'd have a god entirely made in your image.

    Homosexuality and Evolution

    Since everything about a person's attractions, even presumably bad ones, are genetic. Several preferences a person has can be genetic. Even inclination to certain foods. If heterosexuality were not genetic and part of evolution it would not exist. Is there a reason people need to think...

    Trying to Find My Religion

    Have you considered Unitarian Universalism? UU has a big emphasis on everyone having their own journey and figuring out exactly what their beliefs are, while providing a community in which we celebrate diversity and seek solutions for a better world.

    Homosexuality and Evolution

    Anticipating the disappearance of homosexuality over time might as well be anticipating the disappearance of heterosexuality. Heterosexuality is also genetic. Why the anticipation for the disappearance of homosexuality?

    Homosexuality and Evolution

    You seem to presume that homosexuality is able to be narrowed down to a single gene, rather than being the result of one's entire makeup. Who knows? It may even be that homosexuality is a vestigial trait going so far back we're talking microscopic lifeforms, before there was gender in more...

    Cosmic Indifference: What do you do after you realise the Universe doesn't care?

    Indeed. One might say it constitutes a kind of arrogance or self-importance.
