Book, I must agree. Homosexuals are genetically defective, a defect that makes them turn away from God. Unfortunately the spread of this defective gene is hard to stop, since gays remain in the closet and marry for to plant their seed, then later proclaim their homosexuality. At this point the damage is done. Another problem is donating to sperm banks. Some are visibly too gay to even fool a woman into having relations with, and donate to sperm banks so women, *unknowingly*, birth their genetically defective children. I shudder to think of what these Godless criminals will think of next!

I agree with the moderator because, what are, then, homosexuals WHO ARE PEOPLE AFTER ALL supposed to do?, to commit suicide?, doesn´t it debunk the thesis that it is as sin because it´s willfully chosen(indispensable requirement)?, moreover, what other genes are a "defect that turn people against God"?, is it an invitation to kill all the potential retarded or hemophiliac?
Archangel_Lucifer - It is more accurate to say that it is not entirely genetic. There have been several studies that show a genetic link, but last I checked there was nothing absolutely conclusive either way. There are also factors in the prenatal environment that may play a role.
Most likely, it is a combination of genetics, environment and "nurture" to a lesser extent. Regardless of the cause, there are physiological differences in brain structure, and that cannot be explained by choice. I suppose now that these differences are coming to light, the arguments are shifting. I expect to see an increase in this flawed line of thinking in the near future.
There's so much wrong in there that I don't know where to start.
Why would God allow people to be born with a genetic defect that would mean they'd turn away from him, and then punish them for it?
And of course we all know homosexuals always marry a member of the opposite sex and procreate before coming out.
Those gosh-darned fiendish gays! What nefarious plot will they hatch next? Thank Darwin we have Prayerrist to warn us about their cunning schemes to turn the whole world away from Jebus and towards a simply fabulous lifestyle.
On the other hand, maybe Prayerrist is just a rabid fundie obsessed with gay sex, so deeply in the closet he's about to walk into a lamppost.
And yeah, it's heartening to hear there's one sane moderator over at free conservatives.
$10 says the mod earns a little cash making little deposits down at the local bank. :)
[facetiousness]Besides, everyone knows 'teh gay' is an STD. They have sex with another man carrying 'teh gay' and the next thing you know they're full blown gay, infected with 'teh gay' and infecting other young men.[/facetiousness]
But wait, I thought God was the one who programmed our genes, if homosexuality is genetic, doesn't it mean God created it?
...a defect that makes them turn away from God.
Wait, if I understand this correctly, homosexuality is no longer a choice, but is now genetic [according to you]. In that case, why are you blaming and condemning them for something which is in their genetic make-up? Obviously your god made them this way.
NEWSFLASH, arsehole! Homosexuals remain "in the closet" because of the persecution and intolerance brought upon them by dickwads like you and others from your fucked up christian cult. Go fuck a power outlet.
So, you're saying that not only is homosexuality not a choice, but homosexuals are completely unable to follow the word of god.
So, since "to sin" means to willingly defy your diety, homosexuality can't be a sin.
Dipshit.
"Unfortunately the spread of this defective gene is hard to stop, since gays remain in the closet and marry for to plant their seed, then later proclaim their homosexuality."
I thought gays couldn't reproduce, that why they had to recruit? Is this some new gay biotech?
One theory suggests that, to the extent that male homosexuality is genetic, it may be passed through the X chromosome, which all males must receive from their mothers . Plus, as Bob Zimmerman points out, there may be prenatal factors, as well. Either way, that would pretty much kill Prayerrist's whole theory, since the father would have nothing to do with it (as if the "theory" had any value to begin with ...)
Now I am confused. Wasn't homosexuality a choice, according to these maniacs?
Once again, only men are homosexual?
Someone who is truly homosexual would have problems with getting a woman pregnant, as his equipment won't rise to the occation.
Lots of gays are Christians.
Actually Swedish Pagan you are imo wrong. While no doubt there is no hard scientific evidence on it, I expect most gay men could "rise to the occasion" if required, perhaps by fantasising they are having sex with a man! besides the conspirators will no doubt use Viagra. :) There is indeed strong evidence of a genetic prediposition to homosexuality carried by the female, but an even stronger finding is that a man is more likely to be gay if he has older brothers. It is though this has the effect of altering the prenatal environment experienced,rather than for psychodynamic reasons.
An ironic effect of gay tolerance may actually be thatr fewere gay ppl wil enter hetero relationships and propogate gay-predisposition genes. Of course, many lesbians have children by AID and may well ask male gay friends to be donors. If H G Wells were alive today, he might create a future world where humanity has separated into two species, one that reproduces conventionally and the other entirely by AID. Maybe I should write it myself before somebody grabs the idea. :)
wow, even the freecons recognize that this guy is full of shit.
admittedly they probably just told him off for suggesting that homosexuality is not a choice but hey.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
