My point, poorly put I now believe, is really that homosexuals by virtue of being human deserve the same respect and rights their heterosexuals brothers and sisters receive from society.<br /><br />No one in my opinion should be forced to accept homosexuality as normal. By the very fact that homosexuals represent a small percentage of the overall population confirms that homosexuality it is not the "norm." <br /><br />I believe Christians accept that God creates all life and in so doing he creates all that make up each human life. Therefore, it logically follows that the MORAL abomination to God is one he himself created. <br /><br />My atheism is the direct result of years of study with respect to religion, ethics, morality, objective reasoning, and more.<br /><br />I stand by my post.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-47519991870891635152010-12-30T23:10:10.085-05:002010-12-30T23:10:10.085-05:00Les, no one said that homosexuality ISN'T a re...Les, no one said that homosexuality ISN'T a reality. I've got two first cousins that are gay, and I get along great with both of them. Nor do you have to convince me that they're human, I've sort of noticed that.<br /><br />They ARE a MORAL abomination to God, which you won't accept, being an atheist. Then again, atheists are also an abomination to God, but that's not my problem any more than the gay's problems are mine. Trust me, I've got plenty of my own.<br /><br />What I lamented was: "the forced acceptance of homosexuallity as normal", no more, no less, and I stand by the remark.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-89419692166577442402010-12-29T09:10:31.421-05:002010-12-29T09:10:31.421-05:00Just a conservative girl - Back at ya!

Homosexuals are fellow human beings, they work and they bleed just like the majority of us heterosexuals do.<br /><br />They do not pose a threat to the family and perhaps if they had not been treated like second or third rate citizens, or worse yet like the plaque, our society would enjoy more harmony.<br /><br />There is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the fears of the religious right.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-11091775111127482262010-12-28T23:31:34.164-05:002010-12-28T23:31:34.164-05:00I am a Christian and I cannot understand this.
