Homosexuality and religion

[I.S.L.A.M617]

Define "gay".

Man that has sex with men

Sarcasm... How it escapes the intellectual masses... Also, while the majority of child molesters in general may be heterosexual, the majority of people who were vocal about sexual abuse by priests were males. I'd call any male that sexually assaults another male a homosexual (again, nothing against gay people collectively, before you grab your torch and pitchfork)

I'd call any male that sexually assaults another male a homosexual

Here we are !

Buddhism has no laws against homosexuality, Hinduism, Sikhism, the ancient Greek and Egyptian religions, pretty much every religion that doesn't worship the "one true god"...

I think the eastern Buddhism doesn't accept homosexuality I'm not sure about that.

? I don't get it...

 

[Camatose]

I still refuse to call any male who willingly performs any kind of sexual act on another male a heterosexual. I also think any man who rapes another man in prison is gay. A duck is a duck, you can't say "I'm not gay, I just have sex with men"...

You misunderstood: there's a huge difference between these terms homosexuality is not a pedophilia nor rape

You misunderstood... I didn't say all homosexuals are rapists/pedophiles, I said people who rape/molest people of the same sex are homosexuals.

I think people who rape/molest people of the other sex are heterosexual

Man that has sex with men

By that definition you are correct, but you are referring to the action of having sex with another man. Homosexuality tend to be viewed as a matter of who you are sexually attracted to, and in that case you are not correct. This is a semantics issue, though.

Do you consider bisexuals to be gay?

Tomato To-mah-to... Straight men don't have sex with men, end of story

Yah, they do. End of story.

 

[Sunstone]

I said people who rape/molest people of the same sex are homosexuals.

Let's hope you never spend enough time in prison to be disabused of your notion.

Let's not forget there are bi-curious men who are unsure of their attraction to other men. Platonic love? Romantic love? Sexual attraction? They may, at the moment, continue to identify as straight males but harbor some feelings that are difficult to ascertain.

And many secretly engage in homosexual sex, physical affection, or foreplay and heavy petting, to unravel what is true for them regarding their attractions.

Everyone should have such a phase in their development, in my humble opinion.

No, simply because Males have Testosterone and Females have Estrogen.

 

[Sunstone]

No, simply because Males have Testosterone and Females have Estrogen.

In the first place, both sexes have those compounds. The difference is in the amounts they have, not in whether they have them.

In the second place, it is irrelevant to the point whether or not they have those compounds. Or to put it more bluntly, you're not making sense.

What do hormones have to do with sexual orientation?

 

[LuisDantas]

No, simply because Males have Testosterone and Females have Estrogen.

You realize that human beings are far more than just hormone repositories?

Yes, I do

Being in prison wouldn't change my perspective; anyone who raped someone in there I would consider gay...

you are the onllly ones who know.

This is another issue, if you want to talk about it we need another topic in a science forum.
