For me, I don't really care. I'm a Catholic but I wouldn't say I'm against it. It just creeps me out and I don't like the way some of the flamboyant gay guys act. I don't care if you like penis or vagina, if anyone acts like that I want to punch you in the face lol.

So acting the way you really are offends you. I suppose you don't mind when a girl kisses a guy in the street am I right? That is normal and isn't frowned upon. Do you equally find it creepy when a woman acts masculine? If not then politely take your double standard and well...you know what to do with it.

What also bugs me is how some atheists only use science in arguments that support their argument. If you are going by science when talking about homosexuals, two males or two females are not supposed to be together in nature. We are not designed that way.

Not supposed to be? Please tell me you are not serious. There has been enormous amounts of documented cases in nature of certain species of animal engaging in homosexuality. Homosexuality is not unique to the human race and saying what you just did shows your obvious ignorance on the matter.

So to educate you. I suggest you read up on the following links.

Quote:A male and a female are meant to be together and reproduce.

According to whom? Care to find me a reference in the Bible that explicitly states such? I will save you the trouble and the time because I have read the Bible (including that nasty Leviticus book so many theists are so prone not to follow completely.)

But, No. Jesus, not even once referred to homosexuality in the Bible. There are no references in there to him saying ANYTHING about homosexuality.

If you want, you can use the "Man should not lay with a man as with a woman" argument that is interpreted as being against homosexuality.

Oh drat, that is from Leviticus 18:22. The same book which holds the following passages.

Leviticus 21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

What this means, is that anyone handicapped, with prosthetic legs and yes, even eye glasses. May not approach God for they are blemished.

Leviticus 15:24
And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

If you have a girlfriend, fiancee or wife. It is a sin to lay in the same bed as her if she is menstruating. Looks like you will be sleeping on the couch every now and again. Better make sure you and her haven't set on it together at any point during a menstrual cycle. For it is unclean.

Leviticus 19:19
Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

Oh, well now. Better check the tag on your shirt. Most of clothing today is made of a cotton/polyester blend.

Does your mother have a garden? If so, better check to make sure different flowers are not planted in the same bed. That is sinful. Did you know that?

Oh and cows that are slaughtered and their meat used at McDonalds, Dairy Queen, Burger King, Etc. Is from a cow which is a hybrid of many different breeds of cattle to produce the best meat.

Hope you haven't eaten there at anytime, ever.

I am going to stop here, as I am not getting a bit off track but because I can honestly go on for hours with information available to me, not only by researching it due to not being ignorant enough to make conclusions based on beliefs or personal opinion but because I took the time to process the information at hand and drew an informed conclusion from it. I suggest you take the time to do so as well.

Quote:If you're going by science, could being homosexual be a mental disorder?

Read this.

Matthew 4:24 ESV
So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

Now read this.

Leviticus 21:17
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

How were they able to approach him, since they were blemished?

Homosexuality is no more a mental disorder then me liking bacon. I like bacon because of the taste, texture, smell and the fact that its fucking bacon. I like it because I like it.

Homosexual men like homosexual men because they like homosexual men.
Homosexual men like homosexual women because they like homosexual women.
Heterosexual men like heterosexual and in some cases bi-sexual women.
Heterosexual women like heterosexual men and in some cases bi-sexual men.

The difference between these is aesthetic. Love is love, it knows no bounds and considering it a mental disorder is both insulting, narrow minded and ignorant.

Quote:And when atheists are trying to disprove religion and god they use science for their arguments.

That is because if you destroy every known reference to religion and attempt to rewrite it in the future it will never come out the same way.

With science if you did that, people will figure it out again and it will be the same each and every time you do so. Nature is constant. Religion is not.

In closing, this is not meant as being disrespectful to you, it is not meant as being disrespectful to your beliefs as long as you are respectful of mine.

I cannot however respect the limited lack of knowledge and the profound ignorance you have on the subject when making the conclusion you have.

Cheers
