Another response to Homosexuality Isn't a Choice:

I sent the following NY Times article to a Christian fundamentalist who abhors homosexuality:

I suppose you think the NY Times is making up the statistic that 8% of male sheep are gay? Look it up in other news sources, then. Investigate the truth rather than assume you know it already.

>> People are different from animals, they are crated in the image of God with an immortal soul subject to God's moral laws. <<

But God also created the gay sheep. That is, he created homosexuality and implemented it in his creatures. In other words, it's a biological phenomenon straight from God's hands.

The fact that God made animals homosexual, that it's part of his natural world, is irrelevant? I don't think so. It's irrelevant only if you're too dense to understand its implications.

You can't touch this subject, clearly, so you didn't even try. Instead, you ducked and dodged like a pro. Too bad I'm going to point out your intellectual shortcomings every time they show up—guaranteed.

>> By the way, the Nazis also used animal behaviour as justification for their own: animals fight and kill and take what they want without regard to ethics, and people should do the same, ethical and religious laws are artificial, harmful, and false. <<

Yes, which is why most thinking people question the existence of God. They realize humans and animals are hard-wired to look out for themselves and perpetuate their genes.

Your arguments are getting sillier all the time. Animals don't need to "regard" ethics because their behavior is naturally as ethical as any human's. Like good Christians and unlike Nazis, they kill only for food, not for immoral reasons. They were made that way by God and so were humans, which is why we continue to kill animals for food.

When you imply that humans can overcome their homosexual urges, you implicitly admit that God created those urges. Just as he did in animals. Are you brave enough to state what you just implied: that God created homosexuality?

>> Even if 50% of all sheep were proven to be homosexual, that would not invalidate God's law. <<

If you were capable of reasoning, it would invalidate your chain of "reasoning."

>> Also, there have been various studies from time to time that have been criticized and even rejected for inadequate procedures and controls. <<

The idea that an anti-science fanatic like you has the credibility to question scientific research is a joke. As I've said before, I'm not wasting time with your unsubstantiated doubts about proven methodologies. Do the research yourself if you disagree with someone else's research.

Do the research on your own beliefs, for that matter. When you apply the same effort to the thousands of documented flaws in the Bible, then you can talk. Until then, don't bother.

>> What sort of a weirdo is studying homosexual sheep, and who knows what his methods or hidden agenda are? <<

What sort of weirdos pray for the salvation of people with God-given biological traits?
