FerventGodSeeker said:Both types of intercourse sometimes are and sometimes are not performed by two consenting people. Thus, they are at least in some ways obviously similar.
The same thing can be said about heterosexual sex and any sex. And they aren't that similar when one is consent between an adult and a child and the other is between consenting adults. Sure, all sex is similar that it is sex, but the party's involved are different. I am apprehensive about sexual relations between an adult and a child that isn't mature enough to make the best decisions.
FerventGodSeeker said:As I also said, both are motivated by feelings that may or may not be caused genetically and may or may not be unchangeable. Those who support homosexuality often claim that homosexuals are born as homosexuals based on something in their genetic make-up, and that they cannot change the way they feel. Both arguments could be used to support incestuous atttractions.
As can be said about heterosexuality.
FerventGodSeeker said:Why confine sex or marraige to two people? You're obviously willing to change the definition of marriage from "one man and one woman" to "one man and one man" or "one woman and one woman", so why not "two men and one woman", or "one man and two women"? Again, the rationalities you supply to justify homosexuality can be applied to a number of other sexual/marital perversions. There's no reason to single out homosexuality among such groups (or at least no reason you have yet provided). If those who support homosexuality want to constantly preach about "love" and "tolerance", then let's not be selective: I expect you to support the rights of brothers and sisters to marry each other, as well as the rights of those who happen to love more than one person to marry each other--after all, they can't help how they feel, can they?
If I wasn't so p***** off right now because I'm tired of refuting these arguments in every single debate regarding homosexuality, I would go through your argument to show how ridiculous it is. To sum it up - heterosexual marriage and homosexual marriage would be between to consenting adults. Polygamous marriage would not be. And if homosexual marriage is going to cause all these problems - why should we even allow heterosexual marriage - I mean, since the heterosexuals are allowed to marry, the homosexuals want to be able to marry - so really, heterosexual marriage is causing everyone to want to change the "definition of marriage."
