OKI, will try to add alittle to this debeta. Since the question was stated with a biblicle notion, thats why we debate it, though alot of countries have freedom of speech and freedom of belief, as long as it doesnīt hurt anyone. This should IMHO be taken into consideration as well. We are not all religious, and not to the same course sometimes. Some forms of Budhism isnīt against homosexuality.. Neither does Shintoism. Some cultural forms of it does however, but not to the letter..
Another thing, this biological ones.. Is it natural to drive a car that will spread cancer and killing of genes? Is it natural to live so much indoors that we do making faunas of germs and bacterias grow in a not so good rate? Just sayng that everything is not bilogical in our lives, but we manage anyway.
We have theology, science and on the third hand, emotions and philosohphy. We tand always to use the ideas, theology or philosohphy that correspond to our own situation the most, (psychology ((damn, this can be deep
..)) and thus we will view things very different.
This doesnīt mean we follow them in everyday life, cause they sometimes make a hindrance even towards ourselves.
Personally, I think that if we are to spread our genes as a soul purpose to define life, I am not worthy to live, cause I havenīt split a gene of mine, yet that doesnīt bother me. If I donīt find a mate and get kids I will be waste product? And If I adopt a kid I will be a second degree person?
My answer, not likely in my view of the world, and that is the most important for me, I can still contribute to the world and if I want itīs up for grabs if I want to, and who could justly tell me Iīm wrong? We donīt know everything and we canīt decide everything sometimes things happen anyway. Yes, we are egocentric, and we are differently developed than animals, some say higher, some say different, different choice of words, same meaning?
If we reason from scicnce we could pretty soon end up in what became the Nazi propaganda, if we only discuss biological, we would soon be mesmerized in state where we have to say, we donīt know everything yet, if we take it from philosohpy, we would think to much and not live. Thats why live and let live is the practical form for the actual living of all theories and ideas. We make due as we can, and does it really hurt you that people are different than you?
I think not, itīs all in your own mind.
Oki, to finish this dravel I have been writing, I will finish with something Memnoche use to tell us. Even though I donīt agree with you, I will defend your right to the death.. More or less, probably got the words wrong. But this is one way to put it, and itīs also practically used here, even though many of you might fin it against your own ideas, you can live with it.. So does it hurt you?? And also, I may not agree with you, but I respect your points of view!
And last (I promise I will stop writing after this hehe!) Life as it is defacto, is full of changes, pain, suffering and small pieces of joy. Do you want to hurt people or do you want to help people? How does your MIND react, and your heart when you are in love? What if anyone told you that since your gf/bf genes are bad, she/he is nearsighted, you go against nature since only the strongest in every animal group mate! Would you be pissed?? Would you find arguments that modern society doesnīt have to make people with perfect sight?
We bend the "truth" since no one can tell me the "truth" I have to find my own and live with it, I can however change "upgrade" it with experiences. Geesh I canīt shut up today, so much to take into consideration when you start.. Well I will SHUT up now and say this, donīt judge a man until you have walked a couple of miles in his shoes.
