Rainbows banned at Mississauga Catholic school

So since you believe homosexuality is wrong, did you try it just to rebel or what?

Yes, I was rebelling. I did a lot, still do in fact. I try not to revel in it though.

The point was you're confusing concepts, terribly.

Homosexual sex is the manner in which intimacy is expressed among homosexuals, not the cause of it.

The feelings for another man/woman exists regardless of whether sex itself occurs.

The only basis for your point of view is "I don't like therefore it must not be natural".

I disagree with you because your viewpoint is purely limited to your own feelings and assumes that everyone feels, or is capable of feeling, the exact same way you do it. It's narrow, shallow and egocentric to espouse that you're unequivocally the final word on how any part of the universe works.

Ultimately what does it matter to you if it's right or wrong? It's not for you, that's nice, stop trying to force yourself to do it and move on. That doesn't give you any right, moral or otherwise, to try to dictate what is right or natural for anyone else as long as they're not causing harm to themselves or others and can clearly demonstrate consent between all parties.

I guess, and i'm zooming out a bit here, that I believe in concrete truths. I believe there is indeed a right and there is also a wrong. I don't believe truth is relative. Lead that to it's natural conclusion if you want.

Absolute truth dictates that there is natural and unnatural, and that's where i'm coming from.

One:



This, to me, is a contradiction. Clarify.

Outside stimulus: acid reflux and a general decline in health prompting healthier eating.

Two:

When I said to provide support for you claims, I meant just that: "We are all born heterosexually." Eos already pointed out that it can be interpreted two ways, and if I interpreted it wrong (ie. We're all born straight, but through nature vs. nurture, are no longer straight because they "choose" to go gay) let me know.

Provide support for the statement that we are all born heterosexually. Wow. I actually find it sad that i'm being asked to justify that viewpoint. I don't think I can really do that without pulling religious material into the issue, and I highly doubt that it'll be deemed as valid from that point on.

Three:

What foods you are "attracted to" or "repulsed by" are not a choice you make, but just who you are. My tongue is not fond of carrots, not because of my own will, but merely because they just don't appeal to me.

Ok. Some are more predisposed to liking carrots and others aren't as much.

Aha Ha ha ha. History would like a word with you. Most of your ideas/values, even the very old ones, were once progressive unless you're rocking some kickass pre-Abrahamic moral codex. What i'm saying is that 80% of this argument is just putting your foot in your mouth. Christ was a progressive my friend.

I put 'progressive' in miniquotes because of the connotation.

Yes, they were progressive at the time, and how many of them just slid in without any fight or upsets? Upsets and sometimes change, not always. I don't see where History should have a word with me.

also as a note on this, are you attempting to strong arm people into giving a pineapple, particularly in a subject that isn't of any vital concern to them? Excuse me, but what ground are you standing on?

Strong arm? No, lol. I don't care at all who responds to my responses. If someone has an opinion about what i'm saying, feel free to say so. The paragraph you quoted of mine was me saying that I get frustrated by people that are wishy washy about their views. If someone disagrees with me, that's totally fine. I'd prefer them to voice those disagreements in a calm and not overly aggressive way but if they choose to voice their feelings angrily, that's not my issue.

What ground am I standing on to voice my opinions in a calm and reasonable fashion on a public forum in a public thread about a news article regarding a catholic church's decisions considering a fundraiser? I am a member of this board and am not breaking the rules.


EDIT: How did this turn about me?
