Opposites attract. Male and female are opposites. Negative magnet attracts a positive magnet. That's the natural law of nature, so too with human beings, there is a natural law.

(AlHannah) I don't quite get what you mean. But even nature is out of whack, we just have to look at the weather.
"Opposites attract. Male and female are opposites."
Not always. Do murderers attract mothers? Do basketball fans attract those who hate basketball? Heat attracts cold?
"Negative magnet attracts a positive magnet."
Each magnet has a negative AND a positive pole. They're, shall we say, bi-sexual, or at least, bi-polar.
"That's the natural law of nature, so too with human beings, there is a natural law."
Sorry, no. People are not poles of magnets.
Fortunately we're a lot more complex than your standard anode-cathode coupling. Just as well really, public transport would be a bit of a disaster, not to mention boys would get stuck in the birth canal. And how would you uncouple the rest of the time?
Magnets are not "negative" or "positive". They have north and south poles. (And, to be even more pedantic, every known magnet has both north and south poles. Whether it is possible for a magnetic monopole to exist is unknown.)
"Opposites attract."
In electromagnetic phenomena, yes.
"Male and female are opposites."
A bit far afield. Attraction occurs between and among all kinds of combinations of sex and gender.
"Negative magnet attracts a positive magnet."
Get thee to a physics class! Opposite poles on magnets attract.
"That's the natural law of nature, so too with human beings, there is a natural law."
The problem with using an analogy from electromagnetics to talk about morality is that often the analogy...well...sucks.

When our parliament decided the time has come to talk a bit about homosexual rights, they dismissed the meeting after one member proudly said: "We cannot discuss homosexuality! It is an abomination! It's unnatural! Look at the world around us, see that the opposites attract! If it weren't like that, there'd be no gravity!"
I laughed, cried and remembered why exactly I never vote.
John: Well, my late companion, a fundie, was attracted to me (and vice versa, of course), but I wouldn't consider it a law of nature that things turn out that way.

Natural order is the purpose for what something is made for. To deny what a thing is made for, is to make one's mind not conform to truth. Truth is the mind conforming to reality. When one trys to make reality conform to their desires, and deny the reality of what something is made for, you find that sexual slave world where lesbians make use of their reproductive organs to serve their reality based upon desire, denying the truth of those organs. You may ask a lesbian what their ears are made for and their mind conforms to the truth by simply answering they are made to hear. Or, what is the purpose of your kidneys? Why to filter the blood of impurties. This ability to know reality is important for one to know truth, and when truth is bent to conform to a false reality based upon a dildo being used to satisfy their false reality?. You step into the world where reality is self made and that seperation from reality becomes greater and greater till one simply is insane and thinks one is not insane. Why, lesbians still have this desire to make something fit in their vagina for some reason which is shaped like a penis, but never a real reality, a natural penis, since that reality is to be avoided out of their faith to their reality based upon making desire rule reason.
Being in a habitual state of denying truth and reality, it is interesting to watch the purpose of being a lesbian slide into nihlism and self love where their reproductive organs are reduced to some object that serves them with no purpose but themselves.
This self induced delusion which demands a faith concerning one organ of the body is capable of terrific actions that end in many a lesbians having fights about whose organ is serving whose organ. Beatings and murder is even within the reality devoted to denying the reason nature made those one organs which lesbians make central to their existence. What purpose in the natural order do lesbians serve? None. They exist for no reason in nature since nature finds them useless to the order that nature made those one organs to exist. At the end of a lesbians life, what did you do with your life but devote it to making one serve as a slave to your personal denial of reality centered upon denying life must be the purpose of that one organ of the body. As the life closes on a lesbian, it becomes disgusting and more intense to deny the one reason, reality, truth why you were given organs those organs.
Actually, reality becomes more clear as death approaches, and the fog of desire makes reality, or truth, clear away that denial, till their self is faced with not being able to make the mind bend truth anymore. And what are they in truth? Haters of life, from serving as a selfish slave to their vagina talking to them about how it needs to be petted and pleased till death do they part. What a worthless life, devoted to denying life.
Opposites attract.
When dealing with electromagnetic phenomena, yes.
Male and female are opposites.
No, men and women are members of the same species, with nearly-identical DNA, identical functioning DNA, and bodies that are identical except for reproductive organs.
Negative magnet attracts a positive magnet.
What are you talking about? There are no negative magnets, nor positive magnets. Each magnet has a north and south pole. The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of another.
That's the natural law of nature, so too with human beings, there is a natural law.
One gay person is enough to falsify your "opposite sexes always attract" natural law. Sorry. Try correcting your hypothesis to account for the fact that animals are neither magnets nor charged particles.
The fact is, AlHannah, people are more inclined to be attracted to people similar to them. Most people prefer to marry people of their own race, religion, political views, and even weight category.
@Ice Earth North pole attracts magnet's north pole.
Actually, I believe Earth's north magnetic pole attracts a magnet's south pole.
Anonymous poster above: Your post is mostly incoherent and should be rewritten to improve clarity. You seem to personify nature, suggesting that nature is a being with a consciousness that does things with intent for a purpose. You back this up with a few specious claims regarding the "purpose of" other body parts like ears and kidneys; you make a fallacious argument from linguistics, suggesting that the colloquial phrase "The purpose of your kidneys is to filter blood" implies that someone actually built them with the intent of them being used for that purpose. Having convinced yourself of the false premise that a personified version of "nature" builds all our body parts with a specific function in mind, you make the vacuous claim that lesbians use their vaginas for a purpose other than what your personified version of nature intended. You further make the incongruous assumption that lesbians care for nothing but sex, an assumption contradicted by members of my own extended family.
After the incoherence in your passage was smoothed out, it would appear that your assumptions of expertise are imprudent, your conclusions follow from fabricated premises, and the majority of your argument was formulated via rectal extraction.
Which is why objects with mass repel, according to Newton's law of gravitation.
Plus, have you never heard of the similarity hypothesis in psychology, which states that likes [similar race, similar social class, similar interests] tend to attract?
Anonymous has done us a great service by demonstrating the circularity of this sort of teleology. Unfortunately, this service has already been provided thousands of times over the past few hundred years, so...fail .
"That's the natural law of nature, so too with human beings, there is a natural law."
Wearing clothes isnt natural. I guess wearing clothes is wrong.
Same goes for glasses?
If opposite magnetic poles are analogous to and somehow justify heterosexual attraction, then by this reasoning gravity must be some bisexual intergalactic clusterfuck!
Then, of course, there's the strong and weak nuclear interactions - how do they fit into things?
.... Polar liquids attract polar liquids, non-polar liquids attract non-polar liquids.
Shit, I ruined the analogy.
There are other opposites than just gender. Outgoing - reserved, imaginative - realist, economic - extravagant, bookish - athletic. I can go on for hours and hours.
But, people with similarities often mix better than people with opposite interests.
For argument's sake, which one is the negative and which is the positive? Nah, don't answer that, you nitwits usually think the woman is the negative.
There are ionic bonds, where opposites attract, but let's not forget about the covalent bonds, where an atom can bond with another atom of its own kind.
It's the natural law.
“Opposites attract.”
If that were true, creationists would read science articles and better their arguments.
“Male and female are opposites.”
I thought most anti-gay screeds maintain they’re two halves of the same thing? How are they opposit?
“Negative magnet attracts a positive magnet.”
What in the name of God is a negative magnet?
“That's the natural law of nature,”
How much time to you spend pulling ‘negative magnets’ away from other negative mangets? You don’t. THAT is what natural law means. You don’t throw a hundred coins in the air then lecture the ones that refuse to obey gravity.
“so too with human beings, there is a natural law.”
Nope.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
