The scenario does involve humans. And it does happen. I brought animals into the scenario to give perspective on why we need to differentiate and define what we decide is right or wrong and why. Lest we devolve into anything goes, everything is okay, and normal becomes meaningless as long as it feels good and is consensual.
That just goes to show us that no one is above debauchery. What the heck was he thinking?? I know...he wasn't. I don't think power corrupts. I think power simply enhances the corruption that is within you. If you have little corruption by the grace of God then you can wield the power you have wisely. If you have much corruption...then you end up in destructive situations on the front of a newspaper.
That math aint working....there is not 115% human beings there are only 100%
I agree. However as I've said, Love does not define the preference. I can and have loved other men. My father being one. I am not a homosexual.
wut i missed a joke....
Legally does not mean actually. If we define consent by ones willing actions then they can. But then Legally in this case involves understanding the consequences and implications of ones actions. In children its clear that their thinking is not developed enough to determine these things properly. In animals though, I know of no one who has determined that a fully developed animal cannot give consent. Actually, in animals the only way to determine consent is by their unforced actions I believe.
I'm not disputing that BUT the topic has been changed instead of answering the original question.
Why does it, we have contraceptives, why should it happen?
Has it though....you mentioned Christians classifying same sex marriage as sin and Love as if that equates to how we define same sex marriages. I was simply attempting to explore with you what or if you consider anything a sin (something that is wrong to do) by clarifying terms and perceptions. Same sex marriage was mentioned by you not me so it became part of the conversation. You seem to speak with disdain about Christianity and their defining certain things as sin. Why? Do you believe no entity has a right to define what sin is? Or do you just believe that Christianity is wrong in how they defined what sin is?
If you believe that casual sex...inside OR outside of marriage has little effect beyond satisfying ones current desires then I think your being naïve. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that the indifference toward having casual sex with no more thought about it beyond satisfying an urge is a symptom of humanities self destructive behaviors. Current and past.
You should have asked, "What do you consider to be a sin?"
You always have termination or adoption or acceptance
I did NOT say casual sex inside marriage is ok. You make a commitment by becoming married, you should stick to that commitment unless the marriage is breaking down.
That is interesting....how does those two things correlate with each other in your view?
What sin is religiously speaking needs a new thread for sure. What is right or wrong Judicially, secularly, or otherwise and whether any of those overlap or source their definitions from the same criteria could feel another thread on its own. I'd like to discuss them with you but as you said...we would stray far from the original question here related though it may be.
