I self identify as a human, and as such I choose not to even call others' desires distorted, just because that's the way I see them. Yes, there are boundaries, and society has set them, but who the fekk do I think I am, to give dirty looks to the people who do what I do not do??? Well, unless it's definitely a crime.

Homosexuality was classed as a crime, once upon a time. My most favourite Oscar Wilde went to jail for it. Perspectives change with the changing times- Christian or no Christian.

Both you and I think homosexuality is filthy, the difference is I'll say it whereas your virtue has you beating around the bush.
You have an air of confusion about you. Life really isn't that complicated.

Oh, are you Welsh? I've just noticed your location, and see it as Nr. Oxford. I never noticed your location before, but I always thought you were English. I was wrong. Anyway, I'm not a sheep nor am I humble, but hello to you for just being Welsh, Paben.

If one 'says it' rather than beating around the mulberry bush or George Bush, then one is straighter than the other one who beats around either of them.

You didn't have to start on your non-alcoholic beer so early in the evening, you know.

Wait now. James is going to C&P a gospel from the Bible to prove that he won't got to hell; for loving people, if not their sins.

Not far from Ystrad Mynach, although I've spent most of my life in England.

So long as the camel is of mature years and giveth its consent, it is not a sin in the eyes of the Lord. Praise be and hallelujah!

Really? I know some atheists in happy, monogamous relationships. Monogamous relationship style has nothing to do with any religion, it's a human moral quality. The ones who take a religious crutch to justify this monogamous loyalty are in conflict. They're not as straight as they might think they are.

As threads go, this is a weird one...

But to throw my thought into it, because it's the Internet so I can, I don't care if people are straight, gay, bi, transgender, transsexual, a-sexual, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Jew, neo-****, white, brown, black, asian, American, Chinese, African, European, Australian...

Life's too short to get hung-up on little things like that.

Apart from the French, don't like them...

I was once asked in a pub about my thoughts on gay marriage. I simply replied with 'everyone has a right to get married. What's my opinion going to change about it?' I'm quite happy to sit on the fence...

Are we talking about small furry animals and gaffer tape or not quite cold dead women?

Adam and Eve and Marriage are all made up by religion I believe.

You are very much right though, there are many, many gay men and women married to the other sex, what a horrible situation for all involved.

Yes, I know what a neo-**** is, I'm just particularly surprised that somebody with such a liberal outlook can extend their inclusivity to a world-view that is, by its very nature, excluding. I'm not sure if you embody Christian ethics or are just apathetic.
