Another Sign The End Is Near

Being a superhero is kind of like learning to play guitar. The only reason men want to do it is to get some. I think this whole gay super hero thing defeats the purpose....unless said superhero dresses like Judy Garland...

How is it that you all have so much intolerance for gay people? They're just like YOU except they like people of the same sex. So what? There is NOTHING wrong with that.

Its not intolerance, its love the sinner, hate the sin.

Wow alcoholism and homosexuality solved in one post. That is stunning. I see no comparison to a disease and a sexual orientation. Sorry.

so because it's a lengthy answer it's somehow diminished? Can you explain the people that commit suicide over heterosexual relationships? How about people who are estranged from their families over interracial relationships? What about those who commit suicide because of addiction? I was on my way to put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger because of cocaine addiction when my dad found me and talked me into trying a faith based program. Arent those all choices?

this argument would make sense if you were being intellectually honest about it, but you're not.

You know as well as I that the hetero relationship related suicides are about loss of partner. The homo suicides are about the battle over telling society, friends or family.

who's being intellectually dishonest here? you completely ignore the question about addiction related suicides. Telling friends and family would only seem to be necessary if you are choosing to practice that lifestyle.

I don't care about addiction related suicides, I'm talking about people killing themselves over something you're calling a conscious choice.

How can you not see the parallel between each being a sinful urge? Giving in is the conscious choice.

My children will be allowed to watch only this show and The L Word.

Im not sure I understand the question. What Im saying is simply that there is no sin in having the feelings,, just in acting upon them.

I can't think of a show on television that isn't centered around people acting upon sinful urges.

You said being gay is a choice.

Let's say, for instance, there's this guy -- He's attracted to men...wants to be attracted to women, but he's not...he can't help it, just attracted to dudes. But, despite his natural urges to be with men, he chooses a life of celibacy. Is he not still gay, even though he's choosing not to act on the feelings?

That depends. How many times a week does he watch Will and Grace reruns?

So...

Would you classify me as gay if I enjoy watching some of the shows on LOGO (gay channel) or Will and Grace?

those are not natural urges. what I meant was that a sin is not commited simply by having the urge, these do not become sinful until a person acts upon them, either by acting out the desire or by encouraging the desire and deliberately engaging in fantasies about acting it out.

Many homosexuals argue that they have not chosen their condition, but that they were born that way, making homosexual behavior natural for them.

But because something was not chosen does not mean it was inborn. Some desires are acquired or strengthened by habituation and conditioning instead of by conscious choice. For example, no one chooses to be an alcoholic, but one can become habituated to alcohol. Just as one can acquire alcoholic desires (by repeatedly becoming intoxicated) without consciously choosing them, so one may acquire homosexual desires (by engaging in homosexual fantasies or behavior) without consciously choosing them.

Since sexual desire is subject to a high degree of cognitive conditioning in humans (there is no biological reason why we find certain scents, forms of dress, or forms of underwear sexually stimulating), it would be most unusual if homosexual desires were not subject to a similar degree of cognitive conditioning.

Even if there is a genetic predisposition toward homosexuality (and studies on this point are inconclusive), the behavior remains unnatural because homosexuality is still not part of the natural design of humanity. It does not make homosexual behavior acceptable; other behaviors are not rendered acceptable simply because there may be a genetic predisposition toward them.

For example, scientific studies suggest some people are born with a hereditary disposition to alcoholism, but no one would argue someone ought to fulfill these inborn urges by becoming an alcoholic. Alcoholism is not an acceptable "lifestyle" any more than homosexuality is.

Anyway......yeah.....I'm pretty sure all TV's made today come with a remote. If you don't like it change the channel.

I would agree with you. But I've found myself stopping at the LOGO channel several times... in fact, when I was typing my previous post I was watching some music videos on LOGO. Albeit, the music was horrible, but the (female) singer was hot.

You know what's funny?

Since this thread has so many references to the word "Gay" the google ad thing has kicked in and now all the banner and skyline ads are about "Gay" Topics.

Eh, I thought it was funny.
