Radical Clerics, Christian Morals, and Homosexuality

Why can one not be apathetically disinclined...?

I suppose the bottom line here is that whilst you are free to believe whatever you damn well please it is quite another thing to in anyway impose such subjective beliefs on others.Wiith regard to homosexuality specifically it seems in very large part a matter of interpretation and priority as to whether even the most devout Christian should have any more against homosexuality than the eating of prawns or working on the Sabbath and suchlike...The fact is some people just cannot stop worrying about what other people do with their genitals in a way that is considerably more fanatical than their concern as to whether other people are eating shellfish. I don't wholly understand why.

Does the term "consenting adults" mean nothing to you....? People do some strange things with inanimate objects. And nothing you say or do is likely to change that. But if we are talking marriage specifically - Then it's a legal requirement that both parties consent is it not?Can a car consent to marriage?

Do not consenting adults..within their own doors..have a right to engage in physical acts with each other without the church concerning itself with who is doing what to who? Only if it accepts that when these "encouragements" are taken outside it's doors the things being objected to can similarly be undertaken outside of closed doors...So the next time you see someone preaching that "God hates fags" or whatever you are duty bound to start engaging in anal and oral sex in front of them.Or we could just keep both preaching conformity and the practices themselves behind closed doors.

Then why did you ask me about marriage? Society will inevitably do exactly that. The question is how individual rights and societal consensus are balanced. Harmful to whom?If it were demonstrably harmful and you had the facts on your side it wouldn't be bigoted to present the facts. But what the person in question does with those facts is largely up to them. If you start selecting facts to push an agenda then it may well qualify as bigotry on your part. Well the actualities of human behaviour might be worth considering - No? Heterosexuals can get up some pretty unbiblical shit dude. If you gonna preach "conformity" you gonna have your work cut out with the heteros before you even need to consider anyone else.Blessed are those who do not urinate in each others nostrils....etc.
