Re:
Rei,
May I ask what your beliefs are concerning the value/effects of homosexual behavior to society?

Are you speaking specifically about sexual relationships or are you implying that homosexual people don't have any relationships with the opposite sex?

"Would you care to list the disadvantages?"
1. With homosexuality being against God's design/plan, the people involved in such a relationship separate themselves from God. This dooms the relationship/marraige to fail from the start. In order for a relationship to be lasting/joyful/fulfilling, the participants must follow the principles given in scripture regarding their conduct and roles.
If we choose to reject God's guidelines, we inevitably create our own. Godless man's tendency is to focus on the self. The "What's in it for me?" philosophy. If we approach a relationship with that attitude, we will, as you probably already know, fail.

Is a homosexual environment superior to a heterosexual one for the purpose of raising children?
Would anyone care to chime in?
Should I be creating a new topic or can we somehow relate this, ultimately, to "Intellectual Dishonesty"?

Did your parents tell you why they divorced?

Thank you.
I will create a new topic so that we may discuss the pros and cons of homosexuality and heterosexuality in the context of effects to society.

"I still don't get how those homosexual couples stayed together, though. I guess that technically they will one day be separated by death, but that doesn't really count, does it?"
It would be great if you could get some of these couples to provide some input to this topic.
