Is it wrong to advocate homosexuality as a sin?

To be left-handed or the other way around isn't something one can simply decide to choose. Homosexuality is the way of life one would simply choose to live, so it isn't the same at all storm.

If you don't believe in God or religion, it is pointless discussing anything from that perspective.

But your first statement is a religious one. Its mostly the religious who still believe homosexuality is a choice anymore.

Your fundamental understanding is mistaken. No one chooses to be born right-handed or left-handed. They do choose which hand to use, regardless of their birth preference. We used to try to force left-handed people to use their right-hand, to their, and society's detriment. In the same way, no one chooses to be born heterosexual or homosexual. They do choose which kind of partner to seek, regardless of their birth preference. Trying to force homosexual people to live a heterosexual life is to their and society's detriment.

We should not want neither encourage young people to become homosexuals, this is like making homosexuality a good way of life. What i have come to accept throughout this discussion on the topic is that if one finds themselves living such a life and honestly wants to be that way then you may do so (not to say i am condoning the homosexuality behavior). However, to promote and encourage others, especially youths for whatever reason and outright justify homosexuality as a normal life is very wrong in my view.

I don't know about men, but I can tell you that for women, homosexuality is a good way of life, a wonderful way of life, with many advantages for them and society. I strongly promote and encourage every woman to consider it, if she has the capacity to do so. Not only is it normal, (if you're lucky) but also conducive to the good life.

It is not as simple as you want to make it sound. I was waiting at a corner one evening to pick up my son, three gay boys as they was coming my direction approach me and ask me if i wanna get raped and why was i standing alone... i got seriously agitated they moved along quickly, i realize what homosexuality has done to our society, if our sons are going to be raise with the understanding that it is good and normal for them to be sexually battered by another man, that it's cool to fall in love with another boy instead of a girl, on the other hand a girl be led to believe that its ok and more fun to be with another girl. This i think is wrong champ -how could that be right. I think it's worst being like that than suffering the little discrimination of society.

Men rape women every day. Therefore heterosexuality is wrong?

I don't remember a single time that Jesus stuck his head into someone's bedroom and said, "Stop screwing that person!"

Why can't folks (especially the "religious") keep their noses out of other peoples' business???
Who cares who someone is having sex with???
Who cares how someone has decided their brain is wired???

Who died and made Christians the "sex police???"

So...we should encourage young people to be heterosexuals instead?? How do we go about doing this? Sitting our sons down at the age of 5 and give them a Playboy magazine and say "Look son!! These are boobs!! These are what men like!! These are what you will like too!!"

I think we should encourage our youth to be true and honest with themselves FIRST. And whatever truth and honesty comes from that it is our jobs as parents to love and accept them unconditionally.

Let's not remove the excitement in trying to find the old man's stash.

If you want to continue discussing whether or not homosexuality is a sin, you need to honest. You know that none of us are advocating that it is "good and normal to sexually battered by another man". Don't talk to me about morality as long as you continue being dishonest.

Like many religionists, HouseofIsrael seems to be unable to tell the difference between love and rape. That's sad.

Or maybe he's in favor of men raping women, but opposed to men raping other men?

The questions can be answered, i just find wisdom not doing so.
Well, you've got a point. As Twain said, it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt.

So, your decision is tactically correct, but the fact that you're self-aware enough to realize it reveals deep intellectual dishonesty.
