You had just stated that nearly all the offspring would be heterosexual, in order to have a homosexual only island what else would you do with them? Unlike several people here I had it as a question to get clarification instead of assuming that was your opion.The point of the “island” is to only put homosexuals in isolation for example purposes to show that alone, they can not survive. You keep missing that concept. Stick with the OP question.
If you get “kill all nongay offspring” out of what I wrote you are not only interjecting your own bizzare ideas but making a horrible, reaching statement about this Christian CAF member. Your view that straight men are some kind of wild creatures that are forced to make it with another man when the urge strikes is unfortunate.
I did not state that all men were like that, nor most or even many, I said some men given a long time would do it.
How do you know they aren’t doing it to enforce laws and that the researcher wasn’t trespassing on the chimp’s property?Chimpanzees hunt down and murder members of their own species.

And occasionally, they try to do the same to our species, as with the researcher who was just dragged off and mauled.
Sodomy and other homosexual acts actually is what is being discussed, as without the sexual component, there would be nothing wrong with an intense friendship felt for a member of the same sex.
We could also make the secular argument that sexual acts are unnatural if they require supporting paraphernalia. You shouldn’t have to make a trip to the drugstore to buy lubricant, condoms, dental dams, diaphragms, oral contraceptives, abortifacients, or whatever else is required to float your boat, to prevent a particular sex act from being excruciatingly painful, to prevent a life, to prevent the transmission of disease, or to arouse interest. If so, maybe you should reconsider doing it or with whom you are doing it.
See the problem is that many gays view the intense friendship as a part of their attraction, they feel like they love the person and that is a result of their attraction. Many people here feel it is completely separate.
That guy isn’t sexually attracted to his wife, but he loves her very dearly, he views sex with his wife as a form of intimacy. It’s remarkable what you can get the brain to do depending on how you phrase it.I can agree that “kill all nongay offspring” is indeed a terribly ungenerous reading of what you were saying and that anyone who genuinely believes that’s what you were saying probably has a terribly difficult time making sense of the world. On the other hand, while “straight men are some kind of wild creatures that are forced to make it with another man when the urge strikes is unfortunate” is a regrettably extreme way of putting it, it’s not entirely inaccurate.
The entire idea of fixed and determinate “sexual orientation” is pretty much a fabrication. It makes it very hard to speak about the world in meaningful ways. For instance, somewhere else on CAF right now is a thread about a “gay” man who is married, has several kids, and has a robust sex life with his wife. Now in what world is it meaningful to talk about this man being “gay”? What does that even mean?
In truth, there is remarkable plasticity in the heuristics men use to identify sexual partners. This is why you get, for instance, profoundly “heterosexual” gang bangers (i.e., big dudes with a harem of lovers and lots of babies) going to prison and then instantly reverting to anally raping men, having never exhibited a male preference at any point before then. Same thing happens to a lesser extent with sailors, except where the culture is very strongly ordered against this sort of behavior. It’s a pretty well known phenomenon, this kind of “opportunistic homosexuality.” The only reason we can fit it into the homo/hetero distinction is because it’s so protean it can accommodate virtually any oddity.
For sexual release it is fascinating to the lengths which some men will go for it.
