[b]So we are trying to get our crap together and unify the planet so it may enter the greater universal community of enlightened planets and you are worried about gays because they are immoral and unnatural.
Well, this is what the discussion is about, isn't it?
As for being unnatural, I'm not so sure anyone could give me a definition of "natura ...[text shortened]... l and immoral. I've said it 5 times, and I will say it a billion more times.
Yep, just go and say it another billion times. Thats the kind of repitition that will surely achieve something. What that is, I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it's not really going to affect people's sexual oreintation, because, as I said earlier, there a far greater immoral injustices in the world.
"If your not told you will do it again". It's lines like that that keep reaffirming to me that Christianity is largely a childish "beginners" religion to introduce people to a few basic universal concepts.
Jesus' core message wasn't unique, he may as well have been a buddhist monk the way he carried on and the stuff he said. A bhoddisattva at best.
Seeya, wouldn't want to be ya 😉

As a gay man, perhaps I can contribute to this discussion. I can assure anyone in doubt that I did not choose my sexual orientation. At least, if I did, I have no recollection of it and it must have been before the age of reason when I could be culpable for such a choice. Of course, it is my choice whether I have sex or not; it is not my choice, however, wh ...[text shortened]... s who engage in oral or other non-procreative sexual activities? Shouldn't these also be gross.

You have zero understanding of Christianity. Keep following your faith, maybe it will lead you into thinking child porn is okay for our inner pleasures as well, heck if being gay isn't sick, then child porn isn't any different (to you?).
Yes there are far more and greater immoral injustices in the world. You are more than welcome to open threads to discuss them.
Originally posted by NickstenHow does child porn ie. the sexual abuse of a minor, equate to consenting sex between adults?

of cases of paedophilia within the catholic church were perpetrated against young
boys. Coincidental? No link? How are we to explain the phenomena? What possessed
those people to perpetrate these crimes against these young people, was it their
homosexuality or their paedophilia?

Show me the data, i'd like to see that.
Found it.
• The largest group of alleged victims (50.9% ) was between the ages of 11 and 14, 27.3% were 15-17, 16% were 8-10 and nearly 6% were under age 7. Overall, 81% of victims were male and 19% female. Male victims tended to be older than female victims. Over 40% of all victims were males between the ages of 11 and 14.

So if, as your suggesting, homosexuality was the cause of the 81% of males being abuse, was hetrosexuality the cause for the 19% of females abused?

heterosexuality was responsible for the abuse of young girls, when in fact, it is clear
that it was paedophilia, the same cannot be said of those acts perpetrated against
young boys by those of the same sex. Its an astonishing figure. I suspect that it has
more to do with expediency, in that boys were probably more readily available as
victims, although its purely speculative.

Why not?
Originally posted by SwissGambitHowever, humans are not animals... even though they act like it sometimes. Animals lack the ability to reason and are driven more by instint than anything else. Humans reason, think, have feelings and care among other characteristics. To equate humans to animals is, well, shortsighted.
Other animals do it; therefore it's natural. Hard to get more obvious than that.

paedophilia remains, in the case of young boys, it is unclear what motivated the
molesters.
