As a matter of fact, yes I have.

How did you miss the part where Marx wants to promote homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle to help undermine and destroy the Catholic Church, who Marx saw as the lone defense against creating his totalitarian world order? Did you learn anything about what the French did to Catholic Clergy during the French Revolution?

(Looks at who posted... oh, right. Either you're 1. Lying again or 2. Didn't comprehend what you read. Either is possible.)

Then why not give that ability to Jesus as well?

Dictionary: Omniscient

I could explain this further to you, but then I truly would be casting pearls before swine. Therefore, I have no choice but to start ignoring you again, as you can't help yourself other than to be a weapons-grade idiot.

Perhaps the AC trolls are right and you are a fake liberal. Would be a shame if you were truly as stupid in real life as you appear on slashdot.

to the point of denying the fact that genetics has any effect on the "choices" we make.

Free will doesn't exist? Or are you simply claiming that you are essentially a mindless automaton?

unless you want to admit that religion is hereditary

Religion is a personal choice.

and can't be altered

Well, the Almighty himself says He is eternal and unchanging (as He is perfect), so why would there be a need for religion to be altered?

Churches adapt, and some language gets clarified, but the core tenets of the faith are unchanging.

Same sex attraction is not sin, it is temptation.
It is not sinful to be tempted, it is only sin when you act on it.

I find women attractive. If I act on that attraction with a women who is not my wife, I have sinned. Same goes for people with same sex attraction -- it's not sinful until they act on it.

If you want to make a claim that Jesus wasn't out to change anything, you can go ahead and try to present that case

I already did, by referencing Jesus being quoted as saying that He wasn't there to change the Law. And by law, of course, he meant Jewish Law which (among other things) prohibited homosexual contact -- in order words, it defined what is, and what is not, sinful.

It may help you to understand the Catholic Church's position: Same Sex attraction is not a sin. Just like it's not a sin for me to be attracted to women -- however, if I engage in sexual activity outside the bounds of marriage (not to MH42 -- yes, I'm oversimplifying this, but DR isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer) then I have sinned. Likewise, if a person with same sex attraction acts on it, and engages in homosexual activity, then they have sinned.

You quoted a part of a New Testament book, which was written after the life of Jesus

Some ignorant people on the left claim the New Testament says nothing about it, the apostle Paul's letter to the Roman's is proof otherwise. Do you know anything about Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus?

However being as you are using a "law" that was written into the bible after the passage of Jesus, how would he have been able to know anything of it?

He is eternal, and inspired Paul's writings. But in your specific pedantic complaint, Jesus was talking about Jewish Law, which Paul also knew very well, considering his early life persecuting Christians. Also noteworthy is the fact that Paul's writings do not contradict any moral laws.

So once again, your "argument" is utterly, completely, and totally wrong. As usual.

I'm not the original AC, and fear I'm casting pearls before swine here, but I'll interject myself into this conversation.

Romans 1: 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

So there you go. New Testament verses strongly condemning homosexuality, and by proxy, gay marriage.

And since you mentioned Jesus, He was quoted in Matthew 5:18 as saying: For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Since you're an idiot, I'll explain this to you: Jesus was saying that He wasn't there to change what is, and what is not, sinful in the eyes of God.

Therefore, as usual, you are utterly, completely, and totally wrong.
