Bishop:- Gays caused by pregnant women having anal sex.

[Saint Frankenstein]

It's rather interesting because the truth is that studies have shown that gay men tend to be from families where the women have more kids (gay men, according to research, tend to be late-born compared to siblings).

"In a sample of 98 homosexual and 100 heterosexual men and their relatives (a total of over 4600 individuals), we found that female maternal relatives of homosexuals have higher fecundity than female maternal relatives of heterosexuals and that this difference is not found in female paternal relatives. The study confirms previous reports, in particular that homosexuals have more maternal than paternal male homosexual relatives, that homosexual males are more often later-born than first-born and that they have more older brothers than older sisters."

So it's very fertile women having multiple kids who are more likely to have a gay son, and it's usually after she's had some other kids before him. Thanks, conservative religious people who encourage large families, for keeping our numbers up.

Priests etc are professional liars. That does not begin
to rank with genesis, exodus etc.

Wonderful that you should post that. Not so many years ago, Episcopalian Bishop John Shelby Spong actually wrote that his own clergy are trained NOT to let on what they actually know about scripture -- in other words, lie.

Here is another bizarre one for you, some people actually believe that a random mix of chemicals created living organisms, just like alchemists make gold out of lead, only a million times more difficult. How bizarre

Of course, there are others too stupid or pig-headed to even look at the evidence...I wonder if that's equally bizarre?

It's the elephant in the room.

"Parasite eggs"? The anus is rife with bacteria, but using a condom or thorough cleansing in preparation will prevent the likeliness of contracting a UTI.

Every part of the human body, inside and out, is rife with bacteria. And to a very large extent, we should be bloody thankful for that, since the vast majority of them provide protections that we would perish without.

Our bodies contain, inside and out, trillions of microorganisms — outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1. Because of their small size, however, microorganisms make up only about 1 to 3 percent of the body's mass (in a 200-pound adult, that's 2 to 6 pounds of bacteria). Yet most of them play a vital role in human health.

Ech, a revolting subject. This is why everyone should have a colonoscopy. Of course, if you aren´t dipping your wick in an s hole, I guess you are alright.

Colonoscopy won't catch them most of the time, you need a stool analysis with a microscope. (OVA test) Dr. can only see the large ones with a scope, and that's prone to error Also, that is the most annoying process to do -- gotta take laxatives and do funky eating before the procedure..

The closest I've heard to that is this: Giardia infection (giardiasis) - Symptoms and causes

Sorry to be blunt, but "looking at" and "studying" are quite different things. There are reasons that the vast majority of those who study science (from the inside) believe they're on the right track. I suppose there are reasons that the vast majority of those who only "look at" science (from the outside, or more often from inside religious bias) do not. But those reasons are supported by nothing except an unwillingness to know other than what they've already decided to believe.

Quite parochial, really, but whatever.

I remember that the famed wit, Dorothy Parker, was once asked if she could use the word "horticulture" in a sentence. She replied, "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."

Well folks? Who can show me where this is explained in the Christian Bible?
How gob-smackingly stunningly head-throbbingly cranky this stuff is.

Here's a good place for some sarcasm

Maybe they exist because priest's like molesting little boys

Hmm. I’m quite partial to the cabbage patch theory myself.

So you think that you got found in a cabbage patch? That's it? And your Mum was so needy that she took mercy on you? Well, OK, if you want a 2nd class start in life.

I got delivered by Air-Mail, 1st class Stork....... Nuh nuh nuh!!

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Not the craziest claim i have ever heard but its definitely a ranker

It does rank among the craziest claims I have heard, but it is difficult to say if it is the top one.

 

[oldbadger]

And what I told you is that according to the scriptures you're unaware of, those churches are apostate.
Look it up. Apostate.
The bigotry would be yours. Rendered as is evident against actual Bible reading Christians and while resorting to all sorts of pejorative language in order to defend your argument that sin should be OK when it comes to homosexuals.

Bible reading Christians? Yeah?
You've already told me that what it says in the NT is God's law, yes?
So you support the owning of slaves and you have surely read that slaves must even support hard masters?
You believe in tripe like homophobia... and slavery, etc?
You're not real Christians, imo.

Christians don't read the abrogated Queen James Bible. That's why gays who defend homosexuality as perfectly OK with God are unaware of what the Bible says prior to its abrogation by vested interests from the LGBTQ community. A bible they created that is actually qualified to be satire.

True Christians sure don't read your stuff. Believe me.

It is a lie that Jesus never said any such thing. There are Christians that believe Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee who "found Christ" on the road to Damascus, was informed by Jesus during his ministry. And as such Saul wrote epistles to that effect, epistle=letters.
When Jesus was God, of the old testament, incarnate, the same God that said laying with a man as with a woman was an abomination worthy of death did not change his mind in the new testament. The death penalty during Jesus time would have been carried out by the temple judges against that particular sin. There are many sins in the Torah.

You ignore nearly ALL of the Mosaic Laws!
You cherry-pick the ones you want to be hypocritical about.

Meanwhile, Jesus informed Saul that the sexually immoral will not inherit the kingdom of Heaven. What you chose to miss in that statement that I now repeat was, that includes heterosexuals as well as unrepentant homosexuals.
1 Corinthians 6:9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdomof God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,

Ephesians 5:5 5For of this you can be sure:No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.

He referred to the apostates such as you describe leading gays straight to Hell with lies bonded as truth.

You don't understand.
Paul was not married. He lived in to late 50s.
For a Jewish man to reach 30 and not be married, something was different. And Paul ranted against sexuality and gays, etc.
Methinks he did protest far too much.
I think Paul was a Gay ...........
But don't worry because Jesus did not mind about such things.

Obfuscation makes your point invalid. This discussion isn't about the poor so throwing in a red herring just makes your argument look weaker than it is from a biblical standpoint.

And that is where Christianity like yours shows its hypocrisy and wickedness.
You have ignored my repeated mentions of God's poor laws several times now, because you don't want to know 'em. So much for your brand of 'Christianity'.

The Baptist and Jesus would both have seen through your kind of Christianity for sure. But the more Churches that come across to love and understanding, to care in the community for all, these are the Churches that will eventually reduce the extremist Christian Churches away.

You should read the Mosaic laws more carefully and try to understand why they were made, and consider which ones can be put aside in modern times, AND WHICH ONES YOU SHOULD KEEP! (Which I don't think the extremists do )

Learn to love more, is my suggestion.

What the bishop is describing sounds like Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characteristics and those characteristics being passed on to the children. I am not sure. Given that what a mother experiences during pregnancy can impact the developing fetus as the basis for this nonsense, I can see some people buying into it. But I have a lot of doubt that pregnant women are suddenly being turned onto anal sex or that doing so would alter the sexual orientation of the offspring.

It is some pretty crazy s**t and not something I would want anyone preaching to primary school kids.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Of course this isn´t in the Bible. However, since there are a plethora of ideaś about what causes homosexuality, I guess his idea is as good as anybody elses.

I had an older cousin who was a homosexual. My mother was convinced that he was as he was because my aunt made him do girly chores. So, my mother never asked me to wash dishes, sweep, make my bed, etc. Her theory worked out great for me,

Got you out of doing a lot of chores too.

Be fair..........
I expect that the vast majority of priests are very good people.

But not the ones that burn Korans in public, or want the death penalty for LGBT folks, or who earn so much that they drive cadillacs, or who sexually assault kids, or........... Ah......

I think I'll shut up.

That is interesting. My mother had nine children. I am number six and my little brother is number 7. Neither of us is gay. Of course, these are not absolutes and represent trends where the tendency to produce gay male children is greater in such families and not mandated to every such family. Still it is an interesting finding.

Not teaching to primary school kids?
This nutter should be stopped from suggesting this ignorance to anybody!
Stuff like this can actually cause homophobic attacks on innocent people. It is so very very close to the crime of 'Incitement to commit..' as you can get in my opinion.

But the fact that he believes this stuff just shows the World how dangerous extremist Christian ideas can be.

I think I'll have a search around and see how materially comfortable this guy is.
