Allahua Akbar, baby.

You sound as if you think stoning is a bad thing.
What could be wrong with such a community effort and fun for the whole family?
(Well, almost the whole family...)
It reminds me of a song in the musical Candide, An Auto Da Fe.
Some lyirics...

What a day, what a day
For an auto-da-fe!
What a sunny summer sky!
What a day, what a day
For an auto-da-fe!
It's a lovely day for drinking
And for watching people fry!
Hurry, hurry, hurry,
Watch'em die!
Hurry, hurry, hurry,
Hang 'em high!

There is a much better song that comes to mind.
A Bob Dylan song.
Ironically, many people thought he was singing about smoking pot:facepalm:

The song doesn't matter, what matters is that everyone is out having fun, laughing, getting some sun and a bit of good old fashioned exercise. And they get to deal with a social aberration, so it is a win/win thingy.

Oh... Good to know you guys don't actually kill them... Just torture them. Nice to know.:facepalm:

why, do you think the STD don't kill them and even some innocents along with them ?

Actually that is the difference between atheism and theism.fans of prostitution and homosexuality.

Is there anything wrong with homosexuality?

By the way, many theists support equal rights for homosexuals, so the issue isn't really about atheism vs. theism.

I'll take great Broadway show tunes over that droning Zimmerman guy any day.
Call me light in the loafer, but it cannot be denied!

I agree. Though I loathe most show tunes, I dislike Robert Zimmerman even more. Pity the man couldn't sing. Not a bad poet though.

I believe homosexuality and prostitution is causing health disaster to humanity.

If you browse this list, you'll see that countries with poor health care and low standards of living (which usually also entail worse education) have the highest percentages of people living with HIV/AIDS. Russia, for example, has extremely anti-LGBT laws, but it has a relatively high percentage of people living with the disease. Contrasting this with the rather low percentage of people living with HIV/AIDS in countries that grant equal rights to LGBT people (like Northern European countries), it seems to me that the claim about homosexuality's causing a "health disaster to humanity" isn't fact-based or accurate.

Also, if I recall correctly, lesbians have the lowest HIV infection rate, so the prevalence of the disease among lesbians is actually lower than among heterosexual people. With that in mind, would you still object to relationships between lesbians?

That what i said, atheists motivate prostitution and homosexuality by defending their acts of being normal things to do and even rejecting the fact that STD is due to illegal sex behaviors.

It is called Sexuality Transmitted Diseases
, so if only married peoples are involved in sex then how the disease will spread between humans and cause a disaster.

You seem to be mixing up homosexuality and prostitution, but the two are separate things. First you said that homosexuality and prostitution caused "health disasters" for the world, and now you are saying that the way to prevent STDs is to restrict sexual activity to married people only.

Since there are many countries with low HIV infection rates that allow same-sex marriage, why would you object to homosexuality in their case? The objections you brought up don't apply to them for the most part, so what reasons do you think there are to oppose equal rights for LGBTs?

What does sexually transmitted disease, homosexuality and prostitution have to do with the fact that a woman got stoned to death for marrying the man she wanted to marry?

Funny, I was just going to ask the same question. :confused:

One might think it's a diversion tactic to avoid the issue at hand?

It's derailment. This woman was stoned for disobeying her family because she felt she had the right to determine her own destiny. Apparently it is a crime for a woman to do so that deserves the death penalty.
