Starting a new thread for this.

It also doesn't help when the current pope is pro-homo.

What is your issue with homosexuality? And why would it be a bad thing for someone in a position of power to show them respect?

What is your issue with homosexuality?

And why would it be a bad thing for someone in a position of power to show them respect?

[RVK]

I just like discussions. I also see no issue with people being gay, homosexuality is a natural occurrence.

Pope agrees, but Catholicism doesn't agree that any homo-genital behavior is ethical.

 

[ok doser]

... homosexuality is a natural occurrence.

So are pedophilia, rape, cannibalism ...

Fair point, but those occurrences actively harm other people physically. Being gay doesn't.

What is your issue with homosexuality?

It's sexual perversion.

And why would it be a bad thing for someone in a position of power to show them respect?

Because it's sexual perversion.

Then you should stop using "a natural occurrence" as a defense.

Try "homosexuality doesn't actively harm other people physically"

Ok, then what is your issue with being gay? Who you are attracted to is not a choice.

 

[ok doser]

It's a sexual perversion

Who you are attracted to is not a choice.

Congratulations! You've just made the argument for "loving, consensual" pedophilia

 

[RVK]

It's sexual perversion.

Because it's sexual perversion.

I would disagree, the Bible isn't a great book to base your morality

It is not perfectly aligned with humanism, but it is somewhere along those lines.

 

[RVK]

In terms of consensual pedophilia, I do not think a child is mature enough to give consent in sexual matters. So in that respect there is no such thing as consensual pedophilia.

 

[RVK]

On a different note, I am curious to know if your issue with homosexuality is the attraction part, or the actual act?

 

[ok doser]

In terms of consensual pedophilia, I do not think a child is mature enough to give consent in sexual matters.

The democrats do in the US, as early as 5th grade.

So in that respect there is no such thing as consensual pedophilia.

Proponents of societally acceptable/legal pedophilia argue otherwise.

And one of their arguments is the one that you made above.

 

[ok doser]

How do you view the debate about abortion?
