Not even nature is perfect. Diseases aren't the way it "should" be and for homosexually (the human one - Animals are irrelevant here) the same counts. Therefore both of them are "unnatural".James Joseph Emerald said:Dictionary, define: unnatural.
un·nat·u·ral/ˌənˈnaCH(ərəl/Adjective
1. Contrary to the ordinary course of nature; abnormal.
2. Not existing in nature; artificial.
Note: This is the definition YOU gave ME.
Let me do it like you did:James Joseph Emerald said:So what you're saying, Wiki, is that once homosexuality is accepted by society, it becomes natural?
Dictionary, define: nature.
na·ture /ˈneɪtʃər/
"the natural world as it exists without human beings or civilization."
or
"in an uncivilized or uncultured condition."
So what does it mean in this context?
That it is irrelevant what society thought, thinks or will ever think, as we aren't talking about how the human being/the society changes the world, but how it "should" be. The human can't change nature.
Wow, we're going offtopic here...
If you read the whole conversation, you'd see he was saying as a way to show that the bible, as well as other sources, makes rediculace claims, and are quite hypocritical at times, he wasn't being serious and saying slavery should be allowed because a book says so.FireCoroner said:That may be true, but do you really think a 2000 year old book which claims that:Baradiel said:Also, I could point out that the Bible condones slavery itself (Thank you @Ankarathefallen)
A) menstruating women should be shunned(leviticus15:19)
and
B) men who have their testes cut off or crushed shall be denied entry to the kingdom of heaven(Deuteronomy 23:1)
...is a good reference point?
You'd be better off following the Beano.
That was my point. If someone was using the Bible as a point to argue against homosexuality, I could draw from the Old Testament to counter.FireCoroner said:That may be true, but do you really think a 2000 year old book which claims that:Baradiel said:Also, I could point out that the Bible condones slavery itself (Thank you @Ankarathefallen)

"Know your neighbourhood homosexual fiends"Vonnis said:Kind of amusing, but the fact this is still an issue is bloody retarded. It's like watching satire from the '50s, except a lot more depressing.

TheSniperFan said:Because we're talking about gay rights here, so animals have nothing to do in this discussion. That's like saying: It's unnatural for the human being to fly. And then someone comes up with: "But, birds...".Vault Girl said:Homosexuality is quite common in the natural world in many other species, why should humanity be any different?
Anyway, I'm not going to reply in this topic anymore, as it would be a shame for it to end up as flamewar.

I was just trying to add to the point you just made.
At least I thought I was.
It's just a little difficult to convey expression in a written message.
Also, I refuse to use bracketed signals such as: (sarcasm)
Sorry for any misunderstanding.
cause it's not americanism, you know the one with jesus. it started here in america. and since it isn't americanism, it's not the correct religion, thus it isn't one since it's not rightSnowy Rainbow said:I got a smile and a chuckle out of it too. ^^dvd_72 said:At first I thought it was a troll, then I watched the video and smiled.
I don't know much about the Wiccan religion. From what I've seen it's centered around the idea that there is a female spirit type being (a mother) that created or is a large part of the universe -- almost druidic in nature. Seems like a religion to me. A religion based on love and, again with my little knowledge on the issue, one that is accepting of everyone. Kinda like a more theistic spiritualism and Buddhism, I think. Oh, and they believe in a sort of magic.Terminalchaos said:Well articulated. I'm surprised I haven't seent his before. I love the bit about America being a theocracy. That almost rings true seeing that it wasn't until recently that Wiccan soldiers had their religion recognized or were allowed to have a pentacle on their gravestones after dying for their country.
Why would anyone not wish to recognize that belief system as a religion?
