That's an explicit denial of the existence of homosexuals. Science has fairly convincingly proven that homosexuality is a biological condition, not a choice. I wouldn't expect someone like you, who believes crazy myths about a 7-day creation, to understand that, but you are making a pernicious argument in bad faith and you know it damn well.
Try saying "Blacks have every opportunity to go to school so they shouldn't need to go to the same ones as whites" and see how far that logic gets you.
Try saying "Blacks have every opportunity to go to school so they shouldn't need to go to the same ones as whites" and see how far that logic gets you.
Prove it. Show me a respected scientific journal which states the biologically proven trigger which initiates homosexuality. I remember that I got into this debate with Chorabliss one time, and he was unable to show me said journal article. He sent me a link regarding the topic which was more along the lines of a psychological journal article on how to deal with homosexuality. Even in that article, it very clearly said that there is the idea that homosexuality could have a biological root, but that it is not proven. The article went on and on about how to psycholocial aspects of homosexuality and individuals and their interaction within their own minds and their interactions with others.
I find it interesting then that you bring up my creation views and everything also. *heh* I'm also one of those crazies who believes that abortion is wrong because its killing an innocent person. Does that matter in this debate? I'm also one who doesn't like curry when prepared in an Indian dish, but can tolerate it with Thai food. Does that matter? I'm also a firm believer that everone is deserving of health care, but not entitled to it. Does that matter? So then why do you phrase my belief system in such a way as to discredit my viewpoint? Talk about not cool.
And you know very well that there is a world of difference between someone's race and someone's sexual preference.
