BTW Yoyo, find me the exact book and chapter where the Bible condemns homosexuality. I know there's one in Leviticus, but that's ceremonial law, which I've already proven doesn't apply anymore. You want me to prove it? Mark 7:9
Wasn't finished, sorry. Was trying to alt+tab and hit tab+space bar
Mark 7:9 "And he said to them: 'You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!' ... 'What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughs, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "
Basically, Jesus said it's not what you eat, who you love that makes you a bad person. It's sexual immorality (sex outside of marriage) and adultery (cheating) that make us bad people (in the way of sexual crimes). Homosexuality is NOWHERE specifically condemned aside from the book that contained the traditional law that Jesus himself condemned.
It goes against many religions, cultures. and other things. I completely oppose it. Its been a long standing point that USA is currupted by sex for children at young ages. To be honest, you won't see this crap flying around in many other parts of the world. Either way, Homosexuality 1 goes against alot of things. 2. As a human, you are still a person. But as a person you are entitled morallic, lifestyle, and LOGICAL responsobilities. A guy can make himself stimulated with another man. YET any woman or man, gay/lez or not can be stimulated with someone of the opposite sex. Therefor, being homosexual is just a diversed way of life thats unneeded. This is the way I think. Dun kill meh for it ><
Mark 7:9 "And he said to them: 'You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!' ... 'What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.'

All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "
In other words, it's not what you do, it's who you are that make you evil. Sexual immorality isn't homosexuality, BTW. It's sex between two married people who aren't married to each other. Cheating, in short. Adultery is any sex outside of marriage. Both involve sleeping around. Homosexuality is NOT a sin.
^What do you find wrong with it? How does it affect you in any way, shape, or form if two men (or two women) get married? Is it no worse than casual sex between non-married couples? We force homosexuals into sinful relationships by not allowing to get married, but is that in any way Christ-like?
And there's more to sex than stimulation - it's an emotional connection between two people. The stimulation may be there even if you're NOT physically attracted to the person.
1) What I find wrong with it [EVEN THOUGH IT DOENT EFFECT ME] is that it shouldn't have happened in the first place because its unneeded. You may be lovingly attracted to a woman as lady yourself. But on the other hand, its almost near the point of scary if they get married. It shouldn't happened, and Naturally doesn't. Now, if your going to throw at me the question "What does it do to you?". Let me ask you something, As if you plan to be or are a father, and you miraculously and lovingly are... you have a son. If he asked you about sexuality, or something involving the subject, would you really tell him to be attracted to men? Emotional Connection or not, I have a "Brother" of my own who've I've known for a long time. Not a real brother, but I treat him like one. Thats not to say I'd be gay and do something akward. Parents don't like it, Old poeple don't like it, the people who've spent so many years out in the world seeing so much DONT LIKE IT. Thers logic in that. This is just my point of veiw, I may avoid someone thats Bi/Homo, but I wouldn't kill them. Its my point of veiw in life. And seeing as there are thousands of these, its fun to argue, change, and see other veiws in life so you can grow as a person. I get that. What I find WRONG with it is the fact that [For what I've seen in my life, correct me if I'm wrong] is that it can be a way for people to be different. Which is a bit akward. But It affects me because what Comes around Goes around. Think if alot of people were same sex couples. It wouldn't work, an emotional connection or not, the Sex wouldn't go anywhere as far as reproduction goes, all it would be is something poofing out of the Directions of Lifestyle that most parents try to lead you into.
Mega, I think your point was needed again. Thank you. I would like to add to Armed, you don't seem to stand behind those religious ideals you preach, so why use them in your argument? It is quite apparent that religion and homosexuality is going to result in a weak argument that is easily countered.
Armed, you also have a misconception about how homosexuals feel. A lot of people see sexuality as black or white. In fact, it is a spectrum and everyone falls somewhere on it. I do not choose to be attracted to women, I just am. This is somewhat personal, but I feel it brings a point. I am physically more turned on by a female than a male and it has ALWAYS been that way.
Also, I'll bring up Carlie's point about other animals that have homosexuality. So, don't try to bring in the unnatural argument, either.
One more note on Christianity and homosexuality is expressed by my favorite shirt:
^You make a good point. Though a lot of the homosexuality in animals "roof" I don't agree with, some of it is true. But the gay penguins? Come on, you don't know that they're gay, maybe just lonely. Like in 2 and a half men. But in all seriousness, I'll get the wikipedia article and link it.
