If it would make me happy to have sex with a cow, should I be allowed?

I'm not comparing homosexuality to bestiality, mind you.

God has the ability ot make the world whatever he wants, so it being the way it is, is something he's responsible for. All I can do is make a baby, and use my influence on it, and hope for the best.

Hang on a minute...you can not comment on what god is like, since you dont believe he exists. You cant say what he is responsible for since you dont know him. Is he responsible for your lack of belief too. LOL. We always want someone else to take responsibility dont we? Especially when we realise that our own choices are not going to work out for us.

God created humans. With free will. You are responsible for your actions not god.

You're not? It sure seems like you're comparing them to me. No, yuo shouldn't be able to, because the cow has no say in it, just like you shouldn't be able to have sex with a minor.

But a minor could still have a say in it. By your point, if it makes the person happy, why not do it? And no, I'm using a comparison to make a point.

Is your God omnipotent and omniscient?

I can comment on what your God is like because people who do believe in him tell me what he is like, and they tell me that he is omnipotent and omniscient. If that's not how you view him, then that's another story.

It might make some people happy to sleep with the same sex, only is as much as it makes them happy to follow their free will. What they want, is what they think they should get, and they think it is good for them too. It is common knowlegde that humans are able to make choices that are not good for them, but it still makes them happy to get what they want regardless.

You say that sexual preference is not a choice for everyone....that is like saying some people dont have free will. Im afraid that you are wrong.

The idea is that the minor can't speak for him/herself, that he or she is not competent enough to make that decision for him/herself. Kind of like an animal is not competent enough to make that decision. So, by using the comparison, aren't you comparing them? I knew I should have qualified for you. If it makes you happy and doesn't harm anyone else, then do it. Your example might harm the animal. Two consenting adults having sex hurts no one, as long as they aren't married.

Homosexuality is not bad for them. There is no harm to the homosexuals.

It is not like saying some people don't have free will. They can choose what they want as much as you choose to be heterosexual. Them choosing not to practice homosexuality is no different from you choosing not to practice heterosexuality. You can both do it, but you'll be less happy with your life for no good reason.

Hello Mball

My god does not allow anyone to dictate to him how he should use his powers.Refraining from telling him what he should do with those powers is called wisdom. Humans can barely cope with free will without destroying themselves, so lets not get into telling god what he should be like or what he should do with his will or with who he is. Why dont you find out for yourself what god is like, that way you can experience it first hand, and not have to rely on second hand info.
