Christian Homosexual Referendum (beliefs, minority, homosexuality, choice, evolution)

[MagickIsFun]

Just let them get married. Love is love. If you are a man or woman and find your soulmate is of the same gender, wouldn't you want to get married too? I, myself, am not atracted to either gender in the way that I would want get married or become anyones lover. But when I do find the one, I'm not staying a bachelorette.

There is nothing wrong with discriminating. People do it all the time. I consider myself a man of discriminating tastes. I would never paint my house black. I do like forest green shutters on a beige house with white trim. I hate candied beets. My dad loves them. I would NEVER hire a man convicted of child molestation to assist as a child daycare worker. I would never wear pink shoes. People who bully others because they have neither good taste or good sense are the ones with a problem. Marriage is between a man and a woman. This creates a husband and wife. Two men nor two women can procreate, no matter how healthy they are within their homosexual status. Two men and two women look ridiculous dancing cheek to cheek, but put Fred and Ginger together and we have reached the height of sophisticated discriminating pleasure.

Why do people insist that I wouldn't be able to procreate with my girlfriend? Of course I could... we would just have to go to a sperm bank.

And mice in Japan have shown that someday just you and your girlfriend will be sufficient to have your own child. No male need apply or make a deposit in the bank for you.

I bet that is really scary to paternal religion.

Then your flesh is united to the flesh of the guy whose sperm you used. Your "other" remains your "other". You cannot become one flesh together. You have to go outside the bonds to establish "parenthood" and begin a family.

Hardly!! I hate to think you define the totality of any relationship by the choice of a male sexual contribution. That little piece of misapplied biblical phrasing would justifiy male homosexual marriage in all of it's holiness.

Your "other" remains your "other". You cannot become one flesh together. You have to go outside the bonds to establish "parenthood" and begin a family.

There are so many non-biological fathers in a "blessed union" that your supposition only leads me to think your zealousness for biblical preaching has overcome your reasoning.

Uh... we can unite just fine, thank you. But we don't want kids anyway, so the sperm bank point is moot.

Having a tough time admitting that this is discrimination, aren't we?

I don't think I would compare the choice you make regarding the color of the shutters on your house with the discrimination that is directed toward someone that is homosexual. I'd say most rational people would call that quite a stretch.

Do you not see the irony in those two statements?

I always think it's interesting that Christians condem homosexuals (because of the writings in the bible) but have no problem whatsoever using them, in many instances, as choir directors and organists.

Dr.M - I couldn't frubal you (spread 'em around), but I thought this was an excellent point, and you did a fine job using humor to illuminate it.
