Hassan Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Any attempts to establish, through the use of reason, the immorality of gay sex can be submitted here and we can look at its merits. Or sexual acts between straight couples which isn't deemed kosher by the Church (anal, oral what have you). I suspect that this thread will not get a lot of replies. And I suspect there is a reason for that. Primarily that no such argument ca be supplied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don John of Austria Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 1. Sex is only moral in a sacramental marriage, 2. marriage is between a man and a woman who become one flesh, 3. therefore gay sex is immoral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortify Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Interesting how numerous independent cultures realized the immorality of homosexuality, but modern man has such a difficult time grasping it. I don't think it's because modern man is less reasonable, just that his reason has become so clouded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the past societies you're talking about also encouraged anti-semitism, racism, sexism and a host of other no-no's. Second, your statement is wrong. The ancient greeks held homosexual relationships in high-regard and it was not uncommon for men in early islamic society to appreciate the beauty of adolescent boys. Infact this can be seen in a lot of art work from the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide a logical argument that doesn't consist of "because the bible/magisterium says so" to prove your assertion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THat is the reason for its existance. Sex is fun, but it is fun so that we , being intelegent, will have it, and procreate. That is its biological purpose. It has no other reason for existing. Saying why should sex be procreative is like asking why must kidneys fiddler our blood, because that is what they are for. By the way, I would say the exact same thing if I was an athiest. Stupid thing keeps "correcting" the word FIL TER to fiddler. what is wrong with FIL TER? Edited July 3, 2009 by Don John of Austria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
