Yes, this is very true. We are loosing our way. Authentic happiness is not license. Some who claim to happy are in fact deceived. Part of the punishment for sin is the illicit thrill we get when committing illicit acts.
You’re right. All the differences between men and women are just roles that we play. “Mother” and “father” are just socially constructed ideas. Right now my “wife” (I use this term of oppression to describe my female partner only to show how arbitrary it is) is pregnant with our first child. With our next child, I think I will play the role of the pregnant one.
They are not socially constructed, they are divinely appointed. People didn’t assign us these roles, God did. It is abundantly clear from your post, unless I am missing something, that you have little use for God. So my question for you is, why do you even bother posting here? Your hedonistic “if it makes me happy, it can’t be that bad” morality isn’t welcome. It sounds good in a top 40 Sherryl Crowe song, but don’t fit within the moral construct of Christianity.
Sorry it is not women, but womyn!!
I thought I made my sarcasm pretty apparent. Note that I said I was going to be the pregnant one next time we have a child. Plus I have a wife. Maybe you thought I was a lesbian! I’m not. I’m a man. I should have made that clear. Sorry!
No but it does point out that your anecdotal evidence has no more credence than Dolores’ story. You don’t know homosexuals who hate straight people. So what?

Werner there is a huge difference between a ‘live and let live’ attitude toward people’s personal private activities and assuming that because we don’t hunt homosexuals down in their bedrooms, that they are equally adequate as parents. There is a significant amount of research that demonstrates a two parent hetersexual married couple provides the best situation for raising children. There is no significant evidence that you can deny a child a father or deny him a mother and he will be none the worse. The few studies of homosexual parents, by their own admission are too small and self selected to provide any compelling evidence that homosexuals are equally suitable as parents and that their children suffer no ill effects.
You don’t have to love someone’s sin to love the sinner is another way of saying this. At the same time, we are being asked to pretend that their lifestyle is not based on sin. This is wrong and destructive to our society.
I don’t believe there are any legal barriers to homosexual artificial inseminations. Part of me wishes that there were for the sake of the children. Being raised by homosexual parents does “violence” to them according to Pope John Paul II.
There used to be restrictions on AI in humans but now it’s no different than my horse breeding program. Want a tall blonde donor? Just call up the sperm bank and put in a request.
No, there aren’t any legal barriers. I have a friend who is an OB Gyn. One of his concerns is that he will be approached by a lesbian couple seeking help in getting pregnant. He is morally and ethically opposed to this but they could sue him if he refused to help them.
Actually, David Crosby did father two of Melisa Ethredge’s children(the artist who has been battling cancer and who performed at the Grammy’s bald).

Glad you enjoyed it Lisa.
It’s amazing that authors of articles like these have to go to so much trouble to prove the obvious. If people would just use their common sense life would be so much easier.
