As I was reading through the first hundred or so replies it slowly dawned on me...most of you /. readers apparently support the idea of homosexuality being somehow morally acceptable. I have personally noted in my admittedly rather short 40 years on this planet that our country (USA) has been on the path of moral stagnation (at best) for at least as long as I've been alive. Most certainly longer.
What I find discouraging is that apparently many intellectuals are blindly equating their so called societal advancement with what is actually moral regression. This is probably not the best forum for intellectual discussion of religious issues, but many of you are entirely correct: homosexuality is an entirely religious issue. Bottom line: God said it's wrong so it's wrong. Period.
Should I be made to feel like a mentally incompetent hillbilly for adhering to that belief? Fortunately for my faith I do not. I have used my God given intellect to make a determination based on a combination of my life's experiences, my studies, and of course my faith. At it's simplest that consists of: looking out the window + Israel for the first, reading the bible and other religious works for the second, and well, faith is faith.
But perhaps more on the subject: do we really want to start tearing our morality away, strip by strip, until we descend into something like what the Roman Empire (and no doubt many others before it) became? There is a reason for morality, and there are consequences for ignoring or purposefully avoiding it.
Touchy subject.
Take care.
