No, there are connections, and clear ones. 1) Parents of, owners of.

...the irrational approach of attempting to parallel homosexuality with pedophilia and beastiality ...
They're all sins and any sin is a perversion of the will of God, like adultery or bearing false witness. I don't reject God, but I will reject someone who pretends to represent him by being dishonest. You, for instance.town demonstrates his rejection of God::
God sez they're all perversions
No, I don't. And you know better, so you should consider where your sin leads you. Here's the full context for my comment, the thing people like Sod will by necessity truncate to create the thing they can condemn:town sez God's "irrational"
... I don't believe they have the right to hurt their immediate and extended families. In Him -Lon
Consent has nothing to do with sin or moral judgement ...
my nephew struggled with opiate addiction for years as a young adult - oxy and then heroin. These retarded protectors of the "rights" of consenting adults to do whatever they choose never had to watch the anguish my nephew's choices caused my parents/his grandparents, or his mother/my sister, never consider the fact that I had to keep my young sons away from him, and that they never got to know the sweet, lovable, generous, funny kid he used to be before the drug got its hooks in him.
No, like him at the time, these retarded supporters of perversion glorify selfishness and a rejection of Godly principles, chief of which is selflessness
and they'll answer for their selfishness Rev 20:12
I'm not sure of your point on this one so I'll have to ask for clarification.No, there are connections, and clear ones. 1) Parents of, owners of. In all cases, these parents and owners are involved and 'should' have a say.
There is a long list of sins covered by that same description which are both perfectly legal and receive nary an outcry from the faithful. The question is then do we want to attempt to recreate the law that condemned us or do we want to continue the work of grace, set the example in our walk and proclaim the way out of bondage.2) All of them are proven to shorten and degenerate quality of life, especially as some of those viruses come from the clear tie-in. They ARE connected.
Our Republic protects the right of the faithful to act in accord with their conscience and leaves most of that between the individual and God. It does not advance any particular faith in this protection. The law balances right between parties and the state. And because of this we haven't had religious purges and associated violence of the sort that destroyed so much of Europe, as Christian slew Christian over thin dogmatic distinctions, to say nothing of those outside of the faith and those advancing other faiths.3) Biblically -they all necessarily are tied together as unacceptable by a Christian people, even Christian voting people in a democracy or republic
I don't believe that's true given the wide assortment of harmful sins available in most of those societies throughout history. I think its more an intersection of sin and natural inclination, social taboo and our inherent response to the other.4) All have been and in some places, still are against the law, not because bigots are in charge, but because it concerns and harms all the above and all involved.
It's an actual assault on your person, does damage to you. It should be outlawed altogether for anyone who has children and in any public place.Our current culture doesn't like hearing this, but it is the same reason we, as a society have banned smoking in public areas: the activity harms not just self, but others around the activity
That rhetoric was harsh. I don't mean to argue that if your singular objection to homosexuality is a dogmatic and moral one that it makes you stupid or that it's stupid to stand on it, so I let my ire with people who attempt a bit of hypocritical and largely hateful advance taint my response on the point and I apologize for it. I also hold a strong opinion on sin and I don't think it's irrational at all within the context of the faith, nor is adopting that context irrational.I realize there is a rebuttal, but I'm trying to answer the wish upon the dim star in a way that has some sense, reason, and meaning.
But we do, Lon. And we will, in any number of ways. It's part of the nature of us, of our condition and our struggle.It is harmful and I see the harm with young adults in my extended family. It will kill them/cost them an early life. I see it. I don't believe they have the right to hurt their immediate and extended families. In Him -Lon
No, that's just your proud, wrathful and false witness.sure it does town - it's the way retarded supporters of perversion like you and artie and quip justify your sin of supporting perversion
Rather, God in his love and by His grace has released me from the bondage of sin and death. I hope He does the same for you or gives you enough misery to break whatever it is in you that keeps you from the joy you should have inherited.and God will surely execute His moral judgement on you
Well, nobody's arguing or supporting that people can break the law or advocating their getting addicted to drugs for a start. Got squat to do with consenting adults having the right to a private life outside of heterosexual marriage that religious busybodies would enforce if they had their way.
Oh, and quit with the faux moral outrage dude, really doesn't suit you.
have fun burning in hell artie :wave2:
What I was getting to is that you cannot argue people out of a position that was not arrived at by reason, a thing I note from time to time around here.
this assumes two things - first, that the position with which you disagree was not arrived at by reason, and secondly, that your position is, of course
which is quite convenient for you
as an aside, it also shows that you have no experience with children :chuckle:
In a sense, homosexuality is more perverse and sinful than bestiality.
As far as I've ever read (not that I want to) there's no one who says people should have the full legal right to have sex with animals on the grounds it's just another normal, healthy expression of human sexuality. They know it isn't...an animal is an animal. They're choosing to do what they know is unnatural but you don't see them marching in the streets for the right to practice it.
However, that is the bottom line of the homosexual rights movement: it's just as normal and healthy as actual sex (man/woman) even though God says it self-evidently is not and anatomically/biologically is clearly isn't. And yet...

From that perspective, which one is more willfully warped?
one aspect that troubles me about the inevitable push to socialize pedophilia is that estimates of prevalence of pedophilia are much greater than those of homosexuality
so if an argument is to be made for whether or not pedophilia is a "normal variant of human sexuality", it's a stronger argument than that which was successfully made for homosexuality in the early seventies
It doesn't assume anything. You're just either too limited by your hostility or your lack of discernment to see what's actually being said. Here it is again:this assumes two things
The quote you misrepresent doesn't assume that at all. Neither do I.first, that the position with which you disagree was not arrived at by reason
Also not an assumption. I don't take a position without coming to it by that means and/or examining it by that light. I advance arguments on positions, with reason and illustration in support, as well as authority when it can add to the meat of the thing. And I am willing to meet counter on and by those terms., and secondly, that your position is, of course
All evidence to the contrary present in this very conversation.as an aside, it also shows that you have no experience with children :chuckle:
Not even a little true, so at least you're consistent.and the countering argument by the retards stamping their feet and shouting "consent" has been dismantled before
i see your point

When people don't reason their way to a point ...
Well, no, it hasn't been "dismantled" by anyone as the 'slippery slope' fallacy has no credence to it to begin with.
You really would have to have several screws loose or be an abject moron to think that pedophilia would be accepted in society or that laws would change to legalize it.
