The National Day of Silence

[ZeroKirbyX]

I know ALOT of people that did it. I didn't, but just because not talking for a day would ruin the life of everyone around me... And I'd literally put the tag around my neck that says why and such, and in 2.5 seconds say "This yarn is itchy".

Fine, the original greek/hebrew/whatever version of the bible says that homosexuality is wrong in many many many places. Its not something transcripters or whatever added some time later down the line.

Yeah, a mental illness is a very bad bad name for homosexuality.  But if you really think about it, it could very easily be classified as a mental disorder. 'Order' is the way things are supposed to be, according to nature, male and female are supposed to be together. Since homosextuality is the opposite, it could be classified as disorder, and since its a thing of the mind, it would be a mental disorder. I really think though that using a name like this isn't fair to gay people because of the negitive notation behind it.

 It is especialy(can't spell) a mental disorder in aniamals becuase aniamals are well stupied compared to humans, so if they can't reproduce there is something wrong with them!

...Neb, dont spak about the stupidity of animals with that sentence please.

For hundreds and thousands of years, people have been homosexual/bisexual. Greeks and Romans many times often would become almost starved for sex on the battlefield, and would end up having sex with each other.

While I don't think its a mental disorder, I do not believe that the universe had the intent for homsexuality when it was created. Hell, sexuality in general is merely a chematic response to aid in the prolonged exisistence of a species. Basic instincts tell you to eat, breathe, survive and reproduce. I believe that it is BECAUSE we are as evolved as we are that some humans become homosexual. It is almost as if they are overriding basic instincts, using the conscious mind to think instead of the subconscious mind to act.

So, the Greek/Hebrew/whatever says that homosexuality is wrong? Did you know that in the time that the bible was wrotent that homosexuality was the most average thing on the planet? It was in Rome where almost all Emperors did it. It was in Greece. It was in the entire place where the bible was wroten.
My opinion, the one that added that was a homophic twat. You've lost my respect Dragonblaze, you did.

*60 respect points for Razor.*
*Razor has already reached a full of capacity of 1000 respect points.*
*Respect point transaction was dropped.*
*Chucks points.*

Thank you!! Oh lord!! Someone who actually has a clue about what goes on in the world beyond their own lives!

Awesome. I think I just won the gay thread. Which isn't that awesome.

And one thing, there have been gay animals. Which leads me to ask, did they choose to be gay?

[drenrin2120]

So many great pointsd, but come on guys, let's not turn this into a fight for *respect points*. Just pointing that out.

One thing I think is so controversial is that people get married by a priest, and of course if the priest doesn't believe in gay marriage he won't wed you. But ****, people in India can marry their dogs or cats? That's messed up.

Dude, are you serious? I've studied the bible for many many years, if telling the facts about the bible and my religion will make you loose your respect for me, then fine, I don't want the respect from people who don't want to hear the facts. The bible says homosexuality is wrong, plain and simple.

Greek people did not write the bible, it was just the language it was written in. Abraham, his decendents, prophets of Isreal, Jesus's desiples, etc wrote it. And really, the Greeks had their own religeon, they wouldn't write the bible. The greeks were polythiastic and believed in many gods, since part of the bible is written in greek, does that mean that the bible and christianity believes in many gods, no.

Um... if you wanna get all technical, it doesn't say that. It does say however, that marriage is the union of man and woman. Today, the Roman Catholic Church's interpretation is that the homosexual orientation in itself is not wrong since it is proven to be uncontrollable (though possibly changeable), but homosexual sexual acts are wrong because they do not procreate. Also, obviously they interpret homosexual marriage as wrong because the Bible states marriage is between a man and a woman. Therefore, they expect all homosexuals to live celebant. Don't believe me? I had a whole class on sexuality in a Catholic school last semester, and homosexuality was a topic.

I personally believe that there should a be a legal union for homosexuals, so that they may receive benefits. Many argue that they can just get married to the opposite sex anyway, but really, they wouldn't go together and they'd probably end up with a divorce in a short period of time. That's why are few homosexuals in the Catholic Church, because it makes them feel restricted and rejected, not necessarily because homosexuality itself is wrong. If that were true, all homosexuals would be denied of being able to join a church, and I think we can agree that that is not what is taught in the Bible.

The fact might be of the bible, but isn't if you open your bloody eyes. I have a strong HATRED against people who think the bible is, well, THE bible. The Koran says you should slap your wife, is that a fact then? If the bible said that having sex with animal should be done every thursday, would you?

If Jesus and/or God does truly excist, he would tell you not to take the bible literally. The bible is filled with mere guidlines to life. Homosexuality is not evil, it's not wrong.

I'm not religious, I don't have a bible or a holy book. But if you're telling me that my believes are false, then your saying stuff to me that YOU don't apply. These are MY facts. I respect Christanity and every other religion. I just don't like religious freaks who take it too far by living by a book that's rewritten countless times by countless people who are NOT Jesus, the one who should have the only right to rewrite the bible.

You want me to respect your believes? Then respect mine too.

[White Dwarf]

I hate you all you christian freaks. Now you know what gays feel like. Hated for the way they feel. Thats worse than bing hated for what you believe. You all suck.

For purposes of creation, homosexuality is wrong.  If a man & another man, or two women, have a monogamous relationship;  with no sperm donors or surrogate mothers, they are giving up their opportunity to create life. They are losing in the primal meaning of life, which is truly to spread your seed. They are killing their future & legacy. They are commiting genetic suicide/homocide. I don't know what that has to do with religion though. So in reality, it is not okay to be gay, but I really believe some people don't have a choice. And what is reality, anyways?

Then again. Not having sex at all would also be doing this. Someone people just don't have children. Yeah fine. They still work, and that. Repoducing isnt the only thing needed for a species to suvive. You also need food and water, and technology. Clothing and buildings etc etc. Which homosexuals would all be helping to make or build when they work. Noe everyone can actualy have children. Should we kill those people cos of it? Or go against them. No, we don't. So we shouldn't be so evil towards homosexuals.

Oh, I get all that, but human beings didn't need all of those things to start with.  I never said they should die/ be killed; I'm saying that homosexuals in certain circumstances are erasing their prescence from the Earth.
