It did, however, make me laugh. Thanks! I needed that!

Occurance in nature does not relate to morality in humans.

So let's mine your writings for clear statements of fact: 1. There is research going on to explore a genetic link to homosexuality. 2. There is "strong evidence" that male homosexuality has a "strong" genetic component. To prevent others from making my error and misinterpreting your message, please clarify by answering the following: 1. Is there also reasearch being conducted into whether there is a connection between environmental factors and homosexuality? 2. Is there evidence that tends to contradict the "strong evidence" of a gentic link? 3. Does science show that genetics is the cause of homosexuality? Thanks for helping me and others from drawing false inferences from your posts.

You imply that clear and indisputable evidence exists for a Nature NOT Nurture explanation exists. Please cite the study. It seems to me that if this particular issue was as settled as you imply, there would have been NONSTOP coverage on the NBC channels and that the View would still be talking about it. Sorry, but I suspect you're wrong or have been misled.

I have been arguing this with logic and philosophy not theology. If you want to discuss theology of flaws in mankind, I'd have to break my policy of not using religion in my debates.

The reports of child sexual predators in the ranks of teachers. Will you abandon the healthcare profession and public education because of the actions of these few?

Let's test this thought with a hypothetical. For the sake of arguement, let's say that a scientific discovery in the field of DNA analysis allows pregnant parents to determing in advance if the unborn child will be gay. In this hypothetical situation, do you think the mother should be permitted to have (the woman's right to choose) corrective surgery to correct the DNA or abort the gay embryo? This hypothetical would effectively eradicate homosexuality in a generation if your assumption is correct.

I believe that if you have a car I like and can't afford, this is unjust and immoral. My personal opinion is that it's ok for me to steal your car because it rights what I subjectively perceive to be an injustice. My condition or circumstance (not having a nice car) makes stealing your car justified. No one is trying to impose anything on me? I'm imposing on them? Why is this so? Let me ask you, did the abolitionists of the 19th century "impose" their morality on the slave owners? Subjective morality, as you propose it, would dictate that those who want to hold slaves should be permitted and those who oppose slavery are free to abstain from it. 1865 or 2010, it comes down to objective moral truths. Morality does not change, mans response to, and embrace of morality changes. Don't confuse the two.

Somehow THAT doesn't seem right. Please define a "pedophile", then read about the age of the vast majority of the victims (church cases, not the public school cases). Then come back and revisit your pedophile comment. Fri, 14 May 2010 02:42:46 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9FM362G0&show_article=1#IDComment75364050 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9FM362G0&show_article=1#IDComment75362468 Timothy, perhaps you should look up the definition of pedophilia and then review the data on the Priestly abuse crisis. Pedophilia is rare, most cases were same sex abuse of post-pubescent victims (ie: homosexual behavior). You can't solve a problem of homosexual behavior with corrective actions designed to address a pedophilia problem. Luckily the Church, unlike you, understands this.

You may have me on the cusp of changing my position. However, cannibalism is also prevalent in nature. Using your logic, cannibalism is therefore "natural" and therefore acceptable human behavior. Do humans have the innate "right" to devour their mates because that behavior is found in other species? I think you will agree the answer is NO. So your logic is flawed. It must be about something other than your "natural" criteria. It's about objective morality. And this flaw in your logic plays out in your other conclusions. "Gay marriage" is not an issue of human rights. Its an issue of morality. Frame the question incorrectly and the answer cannot be possibly be valid. Homosexual behavior is unhealthy, immoral and does nothing to advance the social condition of humans.
