Homosexuality

[Lightkeeper]

From another thread, is homosexuality something humans discovered on their own?

 

[standing_on_one_foot]

Um, how do you discover homosexuality? Just walking along one day, trip over it, that sort of thing? Is homosexuality uniquely human, do you mean?

 

[cardero]

Actually, there are a number of reasons why people choose to BE homosexual. It could BE simple loneliness. It could BE confusion on the part of individuals to express themselves sexually. One man may feel it is convenient and comfortable to share his feelings and sexual intimacy exclusively with other men. It can BE the fact that, in one or many previous lives as a woman, someone may come back as a man but still retain the preference of sharing with another man. The damaging or disappointing effects of a heterosexual relationship can bring on homosexuality in this lifetime. These are not MY reasons; they are just some of the reasons I have observed throughout your history.



REMEMBER that homosexuality is not new. It has been around and will continue for a long time. It is a part of life and LOVING. Nobody can change that.

It would have to have been discovered by them. I don't think it was given to them by anyone (certainly not God). Lucifer could have inspired it originally, but the actions are the responsibility of the person.

Sexuality is something humans discovered. And back then, there really was no difference between hetero and homo. People figured out that hetero made the babies, and there you have it.

Got any scripture to support that Lucifer was an author of creation? For homosexuality has been around since animals were "created". The "perversions" cited by the early fathers were thought to have come from eating the meat of "perverted" animals. See Clement of Aleaxandria, Paedagogus 2.10.

It is nice to set the church record straight.

Homosexuality is not uncommon in other animals and can even be produced artificially, eg: it's been known for some time that altering hormone levels in early gestation will produce homosexuality in livestock.

In humans homosexuals can be identified with MRI or PET scans of the brain. It is a naturally occuring physical variation, not an artifact of child rearing or a personal aesthetic choice.

Thank you ! I think most of us have been raised to believe in a static and rigid view of sexuality - as being one or another type. While the great majority of us can fit into one or another of those catagories, I think that human sexuality is a lot more fluid than being strictly heterosexual or homosexual. What I am getting at is the idea that 100 percent heterosexual or 100 percent homosexual are ends a slope with most of us being some shade of grey sexually (although more trending towards heterosexuality). In this case the curve here is skewed towards heterosexuality for both biological and social reasons (I do think there are more biological heterosexuals the same way there are more right handed people - but also lets not pretend it isn't socially more convient to be heterosexual).

I don't think it was "discovered" by humans. As Standing said earlier, it's not just something one trips over and goes "Ohh, look there, I just found homosexuality". Aside from that, it is not a purely human practice. There are animals that practice homosexuality as well and so it cannot be something that was discovered by humans.

Like, pretty much everyone on this thread has pointed out, homosexuality can be found in other animal species, the one that pops to mind is the chimpanzee.

I agree that it is no "discovery". I think, however, that it is no trivial thing to understand that the father has something to do with procreation.

To refer to the mythical creature Lucifer, invented at the earliest in ca. 300 CE through an erroneous translation of Isaiah's "morning star" , proves only that the writer is not thoroughly acquainted with the Bible. And I don't understand why critics of homosexuality focus on the actions, not on the loving.

I'm not familiar enough with Clement to comment on his views of meat, but I like to think that Jude 7 "going after strange flesh" refers to a Sodomite practice of eating shrimp.

It came from boredom...."OH...Let's try this!"

"As most knowledgable people are aware of, homosexuality was invented in 1743 by Feizweed Brackenstubb. Brackenstubb was actually looking for a new method of cooking cabbage, but somehow managed to stumble across homosexuality instead. The world has never been the same since."

That's actually called "Cole's Law.":biglaugh:
It did change the world. You can't smell homosexuality three doors down the hall.

 

[cardero]

So does that mean when a homosexual couple breaks up it is called sour-kraut?

 

[Sunstone]

"The fullest significance of the fact that Feizweed Brackenstubb invented homosexuality while looking for a better way to cook cabbage was not realized until early on in the 21st Century when Madam Lightkeeper formulated Cole's Law. Cole's Law states that 'Homosexuality can be smelled three doors down." After this momentous breakthrough in understanding the effects of homosexuality, it remained to Monsieur Carrdero to realize 'The Iron Law of Sourkraut", which states 'Thirty-six point five heterosexual relationships per minute will disolve in divorce for every single homosexual relationship smelled in the neighborhood.' Taken together, these two laws explain why homosexual relationships destroy the sanctity of heterosexual marriages. In short, it's all because of the profound relationship of homosexuality to cabbage."
