Again, morality is fixed. Main stream Islam indeed has similar moral standards as main stream Christianity.

Yes, there are some strong similarities.

But what about a woman being able to be seen by men who are not relatives? Since that is not a christian rule, you don't mind tossing that out.

What about the consumption of alcohol? Jesus made wine, but the muslims consider the drinking of any alcohol to be immoral. You don't mind tossing that rule out either.

The concept of jihad is not a christian concept. You don't mind tossing that out.





So in truth, you want morality based on YOUR religion and expect everyone else to follow it.

Is slavery immoral? At one time, according to christianity, it certainly was not.

Is polygamy immoral? At one time, according to the bible, it certainly was not.

Divorce is accepted by almost every protestant denomination. But at one time it was certainly immoral.


Is masturbation immoral? At one time it was taught to be immoral.

Is beating your wife immoral? That has changed throughout history as well.

yes and lets not leave out genocide. Remember god ordering the Israelites to slaugher all including women and children who did not flee before them ?

Actually, I have no problem with others adopting stricter or less restrictive standards, as long as they face the consequences.

So, if gays were willing to face the consequences of a long term monogamous relationship, you would not have a problem with them marrying?
 
Solitary said:
Again, it is not unhealthy when part of a monogamous relationship.

And are you saying that you are calling oral sex immoral and unhealthy?

Of course it is. The anus was not designed to be penetrated and the penis can easily become infected. And oral cancer has been linked to oral sex.
 
Southern Man said:
Homosexual sex is sodomy, which is unhealthy an immoral no matter who does it. The diseases that occur are due to poor choices made by the individuals involved, so your comparison with cancer is indefensible.

Hetero Buttsecks is also sodomy, shall we make kinky stuff illegal even though people know the risks?
 
Southern Man said:
One consequence of being homosexual is that you can't be married.

And that will change, just as other standards for marriage and the like have changed.

But you said you didn't have a problem with people adopting stricter or less restrictive standards, as long as they are willing to live with the consequences. So you should have no problem with us adopting the less restrictive standards and having gay marriages be legal. And we will live with the consequences, which are almost none.

Again, what people do in private is not my concern. Just don't try to call it normal, moral, don't expect me to pay for the associated health costs, and don't expect me to accept a new-wave definition of the 6000 year custom of marriage.
 
Gay marriage is the segragation of our time. 45 years from now, we will look back and think about how embarrising the conservatives were.

You wouldn't have to, married couples partake far more than homosexuals simply on the basis of numbers.

Whether it is "normal" or not, it is not the basis on which to make their marriage illegal nor should it be for others. Marriage is fundamentally a religious activity, there are churches that already perform these ceremonies in every state, ergo, gay people are already married, it is the "secular" government that has some inane strict interpretation based on the religious definition of the majority.

Should flying in airplanes be considered immoral? It is associated with an increase in cancer rates!!!

The defination of marriage has been changing for over 6000 years. At one time a man could marry several women, at another time a wife was considered property. Now its a legal relationship considered equal. At another time divorce was impossable, now marriage can be considered a tempory or changeable state!

The defination of marriage will continue to evolve.
