I don't think this is true--lots of people these days from many different walks of life don't believe that homosexuality is wrong.
i didn't say anything about how many people believe its wrong.
I didn't accuse you of saying that; you said something about people who don't believe it's wrong, and I'm just commenting on what you said.
You said "Pretty much anyone who denies that homosexuality is wrong, lives a shitty life..."; denying that homosexuality is wrong is the same thing as not believing that it's wrong, and my comment was just addressing your belief regarding people who deny that sexuality is wrong.

One of the best times i have ever heard the argument was with my aunt who said that homosexuality is wrong because sexuality was meant for reproduction.
ironically she had her tubes tied.
Go figure.
Nice example of irrationality in action.

You added an extra comma between 'wrong' and 'lives', so that made it weird.

Also, in my book, homosexuality is for when you're REALLY horny. We all have the anima within us, and she can possess us. That is, we know what the perfect mate for us would be, archetypally defined through millions of years of evolution in this strange world, and to succeed control over to this archetype can occur and involves a rush of femininity. What's the best way to express your stolen femininity except to exploit it?
I don't know what the triggers are but searching for the perfect female may wake it.

You don't think it's possible for different people to have different ideas of what the "perfect mate" is? Maybe it's possible for some people to feel that their perfect mate would be someone of the same sex?

Stolen femininity, what do you mean by that?

Are telling me that people develop homosexual urges in order to compensate for their stolen femininity?

Sex IS made for reproduction but you can use it for secondary things too.

But the evolutionary process has no direction or purpose. You can't really say that anything that results from it was "made" for a specific function. All you can say is what it is currently used for. And sex, obviously, is not currently used just for reproduction.
It's just like dragonflies' wings - at one point they were "for" cooling down the insect, then at some point they acquired a new use - flying. Neither of these is the "true use" of the wings, just one is currently more advantageous in it's particular evolutionary niche.
As for the FSM, well, none can refute Him or His Power.

Oh I agree, I said "made" because that's the flavor of this thread.
I totally believe that evolution just is and was in no way intended.

Thats true, but I think that anthropomorphizing things isn't necessarily bad and can lead to new understanding. I think its a key to how humans understand the universe, so I dont shy away from doing it.

I don't always either. In some cases it might lead one to the correct interpretation.
