*sigh* I knew that I would put on death row for my opinion, but I didn't know I would be put in front of the firing squad so soon!
News flash: I have a different opinion than than majority of you, as do many others on this planet. Making rude assumptions of me and cursing me only shows your immaturity and inability to face the other side of this issue. Just because I am with the minority in this issue, you seem to group me (as I read it) as 'egotisitcal', stuck-up, close-minded, 'always seem to have a date' sort. Would it interest you to learn that I am a well educated, well read, well studied, and well travelled single lady? How is grouping me like that any better than rudely grouping homosexuals in inappropriate catagories? (for the sake of keeping this as PG rated as humanly possible, I'm going to let you all make your own assumptions about that last statement).
I stress respect for all walks of human life (as I mentioned in my previous post), whether it is agreed with or not. I do apologize if I did not come off that way (I'm re-reading my post now as I speak, and, frankly, I don't see anything that would suggest any different). However, if you were affended by the way I worded something, I do extend my apologies. If you disagree and are affended with my opinion, I can offer nothing but blunt advice: don't leave home, it only gets worse from there. The world is a cruel and uncaring place at some times (I would know, I've been around it a few times).
If the above statements do not concern you (and you would know if it would), please disregard.
Babylon, I do commend you for your maturity in this debate. Though we may disagree in some issues, I do admire you for taking the time to clearly state your argument. I applaud your stand.
Now, back to business, and hopefully we won't have any more time-consuming finger-pointing. I have not come to change your opinion, rather to help you see the other side of it more clearly.
My opinion is a Christian world-view. Many people push away anything from the Bible nowdays, claiming it is 'out-dated' and has 'too many meanings'. Please keep in mind that I have not come to start a debate on whether the Bible of the Christian believers is right, rather present a side of this debate that, in my personal opinion, doesn't normally present itself as clearly as I believe it was intended. I have provided links below that support some of the topics on homosexuality that I have mentioned before.
Please keep in mind that the following links are very blunt and controversial:
http://www.theroadtoemmaus.org/RdLb/22SxSo/BroSx/Html/ShrtEvid.htm
(a Biblical source that summarizes homosexuality in the areas of science, behavior, medical, psychology, etc. according to the Scriptures)
http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexuality_and_Mental_Health
(presents the argument that homosexuality is often times beyond sexual desire-other links about other areas of homosexuality are also on this link)
http://www.trueorigin.org/gaygene01.asp
(goes through some of the many studies on the 'gay gene')
http://www.home60515.com/3.html
(someone mentioned what does abuse have to do with homosexuality...)
Some of these are of a Christian point of view, some aren't, but are simply going through the facts. These are only a few links, there are others, of course.
