SOCIALY ACCEPTABLE...?posted Jan 24th 2009, 6:50PM

This is not meant to start an argument...If I see it happening I simply won't respond. If you like this or agree with it, re post it in your journal. If not, ignore it. There are many other journals out there you are more likely to agree with [YAY!]
I will not console them …but neither will I condemn them. I will however condemn it…Not the actor, but the act.
1. Being Gay Is Not Natural
Being gay is not a birth defect. In fact, it has nothing to do with how you are born.
Science shows us that there are two types of beings by way of sex; A-sexual, and sexual. A-sexual creatures, like worms and parasites (no slander intended) are born bi-sexual. They change gender as necessary to promote their race. Human beings and most other animals are /sexual/. This means they are born a certain gender and are meant to stay that gender. Notice women don’t have extra penis’s lying around, and men don’t carry vagina’s somewhere deep inside of them to whip out when necessary.
Evolution teaches that we are constantly striving forward, to /survive/, but homosexuality is a stagnant practice. People, contrary to popular belief, are not born gay. Scientists keep trying but so far can’t come up with any legitimate reasons why people are gay….could it be a choice?
Here’s the thing:
The human brain is /amazing/. Once it is convinced of something, it will promote it to it’s death. In fact, a common way to kill Christians in some countries was to blindfold them, convince them you were going to slit their wrists, then run an ice-cube across their forearms. The cold ice felt like metal to their minds, the water that melted felt like blood. They died shortly afterwards of…nothing.
Of their minds being convinced. If you wake up convinced you are gay because of past experiences or simply not finding yourself attracted to the opposite sex, guess what? You are probably going to be attracted to a person of the same sex.
Homosexuality is a choice we make, if we realize it or not. If you believe in God, it is taught as a sin. If you don’t believe in God but evolution then why doesn’t it add up? Animals have sex to reproduce. Just because we find sex enjoyable doesn’t mean it’s purpose no longer exists. If you are not having sex to reproduce, then you are having sex for pleasure. Since homosexuality cannot reproduce (at least, not without surgical help, and even then), it is placed in the minds of people purely for pleasure purposes.
Many people say that there is homosexuality in animals. Males will sometimes hump other males, but understand that in the animal world this is a show of dominance. It is not meant as attraction…Also, notice that there are no ‘Lesbian’ animals. Male animals are pumped with testosterone, especially in the mating season, and have been known to hump almost anything that moves at times. The females however do not have this driving need to exert their hormones, and therefore I have yet to find an account of two lesbian animals.
For the sake of the argument, however, let us ponder for a few moments that there was an alarming rate of homosexuality in animals (which there is not). There is also an alarming rate of Polygamy, incest, bestiality (sex outside of your species), and Pedophilia. Does that mean we, as humans, should also follow such practices? Are we really placing our lifestyles against those so primitive they have been known to leap out in front of cars as they go by?
Isn’t that thinking, (evolutionarily that is), backwards?
2. Gay Marriage Will Encourage People To Be Gay
Yes…It will. Again, it sounds harsh, but people being gay on TV encourage people to be gay. Young sex has become so encouraged through the media and our own schooling systems that the average age for a girl to lose her virginity is 14. If we want to accept it or not, the choices that our friends make affect not only what we do, but our views on the world. In the same way, people smoking encourages other people to smoke. In fact, I know many people who have claimed homosexuality simply because their friends pressured them, saying that it felt better and more pleasurable then heterosexuality.
3. Legalizing Gay Marriage Will Open The Door To All Kinds Of Crazy Behavior
Well, we’ve already established that one of the earth’s founding laws is false --(like attracts unlike)-- That science and nature have no meaning, Evolution is twisted and false and even if you don’t believe in Evolution, God has no say and is mistaken in all things, so really…what /are/ we teaching? Being human allows us full reign over anything and everything simply because we want it to? Possibilities go as far as our desires let them?
4. Straight Marriage Will Be Less Meaningful If Gay Marriage Were Allowed
Ever heard of the ‘Sanctity of Marriage’? That doesn’t just mean keeping true to one another…it was made for one man and one woman. In the ancient times marriage wasn’t really marriage…It was a private agreement that required no state or religious acknowledgment. Greeks and Romans where just expected to keep their promises in mind, similar to a Civil Union. However, Marriage, as outlined in texts as old as the Bible, was redefined as a union between a man and a woman, recognizing under God that you are devoted to another person. God redefined marriage, giving it ‘Sanctity’ as well as outlining what it meant. If you want a Civil union, have one, but don’t redefine the Sanctity of Marriage simply to ignore how it’s author feels about it. Legalizing Gay marriage redefines that there is no moral standard of the world, it is just what we make of it, which not only could lead down a slippery slope (because really, once you’ve established that right and wrong are what you make of them, why can’t we do whatever we want?), but also oppresses those who think otherwise.
5. Obviously Gay Parents Will Raise Gay Children
The decision of a child to be gay or straight is dependent upon what they chose. Just as straight parents may accept gay children and gay parents may accept straight children…. Gay parents will definitely teach their children that being gay is natural; through example and conversation. However, straight parents are more likely to teach their children that though you can accept gay couples and you must accept them as being a real part of society, you have the freedom to teach them that being gay is wrong. If you are gay, you’re just being hypocritical. You are taking a child’s mind and forcing them to accept a practice that has become an institution in today’s public schools as well as their own home.
6. Gay Marriage Is Not Supported By Religion
Most religions do not support homosexuality. I will not say all, but so far I have yet to find one that supports homosexuality. (Even Evolution, which is considered a half-religion simply because it requires faith more than proof, disagrees. Don’t believe me? Do the research.) However, Religion that leans on the Bible? /NO/, gay marriage is /NOT/ supported. If you are going to follow a religion, at least bother to read the book.
“The Bible contains 9 specific references to homosexuality: 4 in the Old Testament (Genesis 19:1-25; Judges 19:22-25; Leviticus 18:22; and Leviticus 20:13) and 5 in the New Testament (Romans 1:24-28; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; 2 Peter 2:6-10; and Jude 7). The passage in Romans, in particular is so clear that it seems to have been written by Paul in anticipation that people might challenge the idea that homosexual behavior is wrong (in case you don't get it, let me make it perfectly clear!). In addition, there are numerous other passages that touch on this topic indirectly through comments on the biblical view of marriage and family, promiscuity, and sexual purity. Included in these references are Genesis 2:18-25; Proverbs 18:22; Mark 7:21, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5; Romans 6:13, 13:13; 1 Corinthians 6:13, 18-19; Galatians 5:19-21; Colossians 3:5; Revelation 21:8, 22:15.”
The Greek word for Sodomite also means ‘Homosexual’. So that cute little story about Sodom and Gomorrah? Yes, you guessed it. Sodomites where so hell bent on Homosexuality they actually tried to rape the angels that came to warn Lot and his family.
The Bible /also/ teaches ‘Love the sinner, hate the sin.” One of the most common misconceptions about Bible-based religions is that God will hate you if you sin….that is not true, but we must recognize that Homosexuality is, in fact, written as a sinful and is not supported by religion. In fact, Homosexuality was one of the few things that God called ‘Detestable’. Christianity is a religion of love, but that does not mean that those who follow it can ignore the teachings of the God who wrote it.
7. Children Can Never Succeed Without A Male And A Female Role Model
You are taking a fundamental stepping stone in our understanding of the world and saying it is subjective to whatever our desires want it to be. Eventually the child will want to know where it came from, and why couldn’t one of their parents give birth to him/her.
Wait, Wait, wait…This is just too much. So the same people who, when fighting for abortion, insist that a single mother or a young couple can’t raise a child, or even give birth to one and send it to an adoption agency---The same liberals who are insisting that such an environment might be bad for the child, want to take that same baby and place it in a house with two mommies or two daddies? Pick a side people!
8. Gay Marriage Will Change The Foundation Of Society; We Could Never Adapt To New Social Norms
Cars, eyeglasses, yes, we adapted…But those things didn’t shake the very foundation of what we live on. Yes, they provided new ways for people to get around, but they didn’t rework the laws of God and Nature as we know it. Just like the abortion acts, legalizing gay marriage takes the entire moral standard of the world, (already being taught as a fading practice for some old religious people) and permanently implanting it as having nothing to do with the world. Yes, it will change the foundation of Society, if we want it to or not.
9. Homophobia is not Racism
Homophobia is defined as an ‘irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals’. First off, people who disagree with homosexuality are not homophobes. A homophobic person is someone who is afraid of homosexuals, or prejudice against them. They also often express this fear or anger in an irrational manner. People who disagree with Homosexuality do not necessarily deserve this insulting name. Homosexuality is not a race, either. Racism would be prejudice against someone who was born with an ethnicity they can’t help, it is not disagreeing with someone’s choices in life. To call someone ‘Homophobic’ is to say that they are being hateful, which is downright in-accurate unless you know the person.
Repost This If you honor THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE, ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN. LOVE THE SINNER, HATE THE SIN.
