ΩRôghênΩ;403550 said:I do not believe in homosexual marriage or companionship, feeling are OK because they cannot be helped. as long as someone does not act out upon these feelings its alright. Im very puzzeled at many christians have the gay/lesbian pride banner as well.
Anyway:Homosexual companianships was probably warned against us because:
Also read this:from http://www.cwfa.org/articles/5014/CFI/family/index.htm:
- If there is a mass increase in these marriages/companionships AIDS will spread like a wild-fire (This is probable)
- It degrades the value and order of a relationship, because if this is allowed to go on, who says something like orgies or polyamory wont be let loose?
- the bond between a man and a woman is sacred
- If there is a rapid growth of Homosexual relationships, then children will grow up to be homosexuals as well (This is also statistically probable), meaning that in the end most people will be homosexuals.
- Homosexuality is a psychological disorder which is taken to seriously to now be called a natural and cultural thing.
- AIDS is erupting worldwide because of homosexuality, endangering lives (such as the netherlands)
In the Netherlands, gay marriage hasnt stopped AIDS
A study in the journal AIDS reported that in Holland, where gay marriage has been legal since 2001, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are soaring among homosexual men. The study notes that partnered homosexuals have outside lovers, although fewer than the unpartnered, and that men in these relationships are still contracting the AIDS virus at alarming rates. This is progress?
As for the moral argument, its easy to make to those who have not shut their ears to self-evident truth. But even if marriage were not created by God Himself as the fountainhead of human life, a powerful case can be made on purely sociological grounds. Sanctioning gay marriage would, among other things:
Note that i am not saying that i am hating gay or lesbian people, im saying that when they are coupled it is very wrong and harmful.
- Further weaken the family, the first and best defense against an ever-encroaching government.
- Encourage children to experiment with homosexuality. This will put more kids at risk for HIV, hepatitis A, B and C, gay bowel syndrome, human papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases.
- Homosexual households are also more prone to domestic violence. For example: The incidence of domestic violence among gay men is nearly double that in the heterosexual population, according to D. Island and P. Letellier in Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them (New York: Haworth Press, 1991).
A study in the Journal of Social Service Research reported that slightly more than half of the [lesbians surveyed] reported that they had been abused by a female lover/partner. (G. Lie and S. Gentlewarrior, Intimate Violence in Lesbian Relationships: Discussion of Survey Findings and Practice Implications, No. 15, 1991.) More cites can be found in Tim Dailey, The Negative Health Effects of Homosexuality, Insight paper, Family Research Council, 2001.- Put more children at risk as adoption agencies abandon the crrent practice of favoring married households and begin placing more children in motherless or fatherless households.
- Encourage more people to remain trapped in homosexuality rather than seek to re-channel their desires toward normal sexuality.
- Pit the law and our government against the beliefs of tens of millions of people who believe homosexuality is wrong.
- Create grounds for further attacks on the freedoms of speech, religion and association.
This is a very funny post! Thanks for that. It's unfortunate that people actually believe this. It seems your education system has failed you.:help:
To the 6 points:
1 - AIDS is not a gay disease. Married couples get AIDS. Drug dealers get AIDS.
2 - Orgies (et al) exist now before gay marriage was made legal in parts of the world. These same things exists while people acted on their sexuality.
3 - Opinion and has nothing to do with gay relationships in general
4 - Wow....just wow. Paranoid much? :yes:
5 -Headaches were once considered "of the devil" and/or demon possessions. Homosexuality happens in nature and is thus 'natural'.
6 - No doubt, human sexuality plays a part. This includes gay and straight people.
You've used the term homosexual companionship. I am male and I have several male companions, some I can say that I love. The disciples were males and they were Jesus' companions.
Just what are you trying to say?
Then you should not participate in such activities. Everything else is just opinion. We all have beliefs, which we should follow as best we can. We all have opinions, too, which we are free to express (within reason). And hopefully, we can all be mature enough to respect that other people's beliefs and opinions willl often disagree with our own, and that those people need to do what THEY believe is right, not what WE think they should do.
Why, oh why, is it that there are certain people out there that feel the need to constantly condemn homosexuals?
