Why so much religious condemnation about homosexual sex?

[Agit8r]

Typically there is only a couple of ways that a cult can grow, and procreation is one of them.

 

[amrchaos]

Actually, they do rail against premarital sex while arguing for abstinence and against abortion

What do they not bitch about??

Usury

Why were virgin girls safer in Sodom than on most college campuses? Is it a coincidence or a conspiracy ::idontknow::

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Bottom line is always the same - religion needs to mind their own business.

Well, by forcing gay marriage into public laws (instead of resolving issues by mediation that respects other people's beliefs and consent equally), and by suing and fining businesses for not wanting to photograph or attend gay weddings (instead of not harassing anyone by forcing them to do things against their beliefs if the point is to AVOID harassment over these differences), that became everyone's business.

Equal application of the law is not up for "mediation". It is and should be everyone's business.

If a business does not want to abide by the law, they should be ready to pay the price for breaking those laws.

actually, you didn't hear a whole lot about homosexual relations until gays took it out of the bedroom and into the courthouse......

Absolutely. It appears to me to occupy that particular 7% of the population's mind 100% of the time. Since they represent such a small percentage of the total population, I pay them little attention. Now, actual American taxpayers make up some 50 to 60 percent of the population. There's a large group who get jerked over much of the time. They are the one's with the real bitch.

Actually, the small gay community is the menu of the day. They are the current "victim" card of American society. We have to have a new "victim" every now and then. The liberal courts, Congress, the President, and the Press need a small minority to appease and posture since they cannot solve any of the major problems facing the country. If they can solve a couple of these 'victim" issues or perceived issues, it makes news and they feel appeased that they have done something.

I am waiting to see if Rosie's "wife" gets custody of the couple's adopted kids along with a huge child support and alimony settlement from their divorce.

Then how did the "cult of liberalism" grow? If homosexual individuals only make up 4% of the population, their political lobbying must clearly be based on something other than 4%. Can you explain that by "procreation"?

And if prochoice lobbies and funding to Planned Parenthood is responsible for abortions, isn't that the opposite?

Oh, unless you mean rallying all the felon and prison populations and immigrant workers into that voting base.
Do you mean people on welfare who have more children than they work to can pay for?

So does your theory also apply to liberal voters and explain the fears of the opposition?

There is no "cult of liberalism". You're setting yourself up for someone to nail you with "cult of ignorance" and then it will just deteriorate into a @%&* fest.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Religious texts were written long ago, and reflected the social mores of the societies responsible for them. In such societies, the production of children was viewed in terms of continued survival much as it still is in primitive agrarian societies, and so the premium was on reproduction. Add in the natural human tendency towards conformity with the resulting mistrust of anything different, and its easy to understand where all the primitive taboos came from.

Fortunately, we now live in a modern world rather than these primitive societies, so can apply reason rather than superstition to the subject.

Well, at least some of us, any way.....,

Hi Disir What do you call what is referred to as the "liberal media bias"
and pushing of the "gay agenda" and lawsuits that target Christianity as imposing beliefs
but defend gay marriage as promoting diversity and not imposing beliefs.
Pushing prochoice when it comes to abortion choices
but antichoice and mandates when it comes to health care choices.

Whatever you call THAT bias, that is what I am trying to identify as a belief being pushed on people who don't share it.

What do YOU call it?

It's looking like paranoia from here.

You would think then when the Bible's absolutely against premarital sex, and 75% of people before age 20 have premarital sex, and just 5% are exclusively homosexual, religion would be addressing premarital sex 15 times as much as homosexuality.

Premarital sex is not an on-going issue without a resolution. You can anytime repent by engaging a formal marriage. Will the homo couples repent by not practicing it any more. In general they won't.

More importantly, God's Church will not be endangered as even those unwilling to repent will not force the Church to legalize premarital behavior. Premarital behavior can hardly post any threat to God's Church. Homosexuality on the other hand, may some day be legalized inside God's Church - the potential candidate of the abomination causing desolation you can see in the Holy Place.

Homosexuals porbably aren't sitting there in church. So how problematic can they be? Fornicators and adulterers though are.

The are formal homosexual pastor now. Why do say that it's not in the Church?

This is the effect of how the Church is pressed. They demand a seat inside the Church.

You can't win here. Rationality is a foreign concept to liberals.

The Anglicans already "legalized" it.
