when good reason goes against God
yes, the etymology of the word ‘good’ is G-d. you are implying, inadvertantly, A = not A.
I don’t know about the etymolgy. Do you think that I mean “God” when I say “Good”? Do you think the reference to God is the typical use of the word “Good”? You never cease with the nonsense. Don’t you know that when I say “good reason,” I mean “well-evidenced”? Use your head instead of nit-picking at every little thing in an attempt to save your case. It’s very unrefreshing.
how do you know this have you seen all the possible evidence?
I’ve seen much of it. I’ll be happy to point you in the direction of a few good books and some scholarly articles. But something tells me you can’t possibly believe that there exists evidence that homosexuality causes maladjustment or harm or psychological damage or anything of that nature (or even that it’s related to anything bad, per se).
some people dont like broccoli, G-d doesnt like disorderd acts. what evidence other than that does He need? its G-ds call to make.
I’d agree if God had given us good evidence - scientific evidence - as to why homosexuality was wrong. Nevertheless, he didn’t (not that I think there was a God who gave us anything, but you get the idea). When we read that God says homosexuality is wrong and there is no scientific evidence or intuition, aside from God, that would lead us to that conclusion, I find great difficulty in believing God even said. In fact, he didn’t. Men wrote the bible, filling it with the prejudices.
ive worked with victims of homosexual rape before. youre intuition is wrong. ever seen the shawshank redemption? thats not much of an overstatement on the matter.
Mmhmm. Do you know the difference between an anecdote and evidence? Because I really don’t think you do.
bald assertion. prove it. i like girls with freckles. do i have a biological propensity to that? of course not.
Couldn’t say about the freckles (no scientists have been interested in that topic). If you look at the concordance rates of homosexuality in monozygotic twin studies, we see concrete evidence of biological propensity. We see social factors as well, but to a much lesser degree. Type in “concordance rate” + “homosexuality” in a journal database. Unless you’re just incredulous about science, you’ll see what I’m talking about. But I suspect you know very little about science to assess it in the first place, so maybe find a review article that lays it all out.
why? is it odd that some people dont like broccoli?
No, but that’s because they usually don’t like the taste. What about the taste of homosexuality does God dislike? The evidence shows nothing wrong with them - the only thing we have is that God doesn’t approve.
if you made something but it refused to work the way you made it, how happy would you be?
You’d probably consider yourself quite incompetent, if not outright stupid, what with being perfect and all.
they all answer to reason, all you have to do is apply it. critical thinking.
Well, no they don’t. Some things have to be taken simply by a leap of faith. That used to be understood about religion before Christians had to start arguing on equal grounds with science - and poorly. But that’s not what we’re here to discuss.
You’re a bigot, and so is everyone else who doesn’t tolerate people who are different, on the grounds that an
invisible daddy in another realm said so in a book churned out in superstitious, illiterate, iron-age, Palestine.
