mek42, Ive been reading a couple of your posts and I would like to share some things with you.
In regards to homosexual couples adopting -
When this comes up, I tend to avoid it whenever possible, because I don’t think there is a “one size fits all” when it comes to adoption, however I do believe placing a child with a homosexual couple is an act of child abuse, just like placing them with heterosexual couples who are doing immoral things etc etc (like you mentioned before mek42) some more so than others though as there are many, many variables when it comes to adoptive families.
When it comes to homosexual couples adopting, these are my primary concerns -
The greatest influences in a childs life are their parents, they will generally mimic them whether people want them to or not, they will mimic them and their lifestyle, if they are homosexual or heterosexual, because it’s all they know.
There is no magical choice that they can make, because their choice is bias, with heterosexual parents their choice will be bias towards heterosexuality, regardless if they are homosexual or heterosexual (not saying homosexuals will be heterosexual with heterosexual parents as it’s not a choice, simply that they will think about or act on heterosexual desires before they infact find out whether they are homosexual or not).
Same with homosexual parents, their choice will be bias towards homosexuality regardless if they are homosexual or heterosexual (same thing, they will think about or act on homosexual desires before they find out whether they are in fact homosexual or not) they mimic their parents in how to live their life by what they do, kids are very observant.
Please consider this:
A) (If you believe in God, I don’t expect atheists to agree with this) The nature of homosexuality means using the bodies organs in a manner they are not designed to be used for (this is why we say that homosexual acts are disordered and immoral)
B) The greatest role models or influences in a Child’s life are their parents, not what they say, but what they do. (Example when a parent say’s to their Child “Don’t Smoke” the chances of that Child smoking are greatly increased simply because the parents smoke)
Now put A) and B) together and tell me that this will not have a detrimental effect on a poor childs development.
Id also like to ask, what does an adolescent say to themselves about acting on their own sexual desires, about sexual morality, when people say that the sexual acts of homosexuality are immoral and are accused of “bigotry” “oppressing” and “hate speech”? Or when the sexual acts of homosexuality are labelled as moral and an encouraged variant of sexuality?
And finally, my major concern is with homosexuals trying to have biological children, because for a homosexual couple to try and do that, means to intentional bring a child into this world with the absolute intention to deprive that child of their mother or father, not because it will benefit the child in any way, but to selfishly benefit themselves, thus in these situations, it is absolutely child abuse.
In regards to whether same sex marriage can or can’t be done -
I find that the “same sex marriage” debate is not about whether it can or cannot be done, because obviously it can be done, it’s about whether it SHOULD or shouldn’t be done, It’s a morality debate.
So the question I wish to put to you Mek42 is -
Do you think same sex marriage SHOULD be done (legalised and embraced by society)? and if so why?
God Bless
Thank you for reading
