good for you. You're still wrong though. Homosexuality is not abnormal because the goal of a species is not always to procreate. There are many species where a portion of the population has duties other than procreation. Like I said in another thread. Humans are all unique in vastly different ways. We are different because that is where species survival happens. Whenever you hear about that 1% who is immune to AIDS, or that 5% who have extra brain folds, remember that those statistics are the same make as homosexuality. Also, have you ever heard of "the psychopath test"? It's a book (probably cited it incorrectly but oh well) that talks about how psychopaths can be very productive to society, and that a large number of the total psychopaths are CEOs, because their wiring is set in a way that they are capable of doing things "Normal" people cannot. For instance, some people can live off of 4 hours of sleep per day, etc. Homosexuality is not abnormal, in the sense that there is something "wrong" with them, be it wiring, chemical imbalance, etc. They are simply the result of humanity, as are geniuses, psychopaths, radical thinkers, and pop icons. Like I said, it is a 2nd century logic you are using. Try thinking about the subject some more. Think about all the other "abnormal" people of the world, and then try and justify how one is MORE abnormal than the other, and what it means for humanity. All those underlined are "abnormal". The Bible is not an antagonist here, it's just that the Bible was designed to help people live productive lives in an easy way. It's title could be, "Living for Dummies". The problem is that dummies are interpreting the book as if it's the last word, whereas true christians do not. Look at priests, for example. The ones that care the LEAST about the Bible and the rules and the interpretations, are the OLD/WISE ones. The Bible said that homosexuality is abnormal because in that day, it could cause a lot of problems, and could end family names, and the state could seize their property, etc etc. This is not the case in the modern world, and therefore we need a modern take of the whole situation. Understanding begins with questioning what is abnormal. |
No offense but you don't call homosexuals fags, or black people the N word. What makes it okay to call people with different mental make ups psychopaths? If the book truly talks about gifted individuals and people with learning disabilities as psychopaths then the book is not even worth reading.
Do you know the effects calling people with disabilities psychopaths have? Your right people with different abilities and mental make up do often become CEO's , president's and other outstanding people do all kinds of things. But calling these individuals psychopaths is just horrible. I guess you were talking directly about the book. But I wouldn't read a book on gay's calling them Fag's or black calling them the N word. Its just insensative and if a book talks about people like that then its obviously not worth my time.
As for homosexuality being un-natural. Its pretty hard to deny that it occurs naturally. Now if you want to say its abnormal you'd be correct as it occurs rarely within the human race. Now lets define normal, my psychiatrist once put it this way. He said grab anyone, any man women or child and put them infront of a good psychiatrist. He said with some time every single individual on earth will have some sort of mental disability. Their isn't a single normal person on the face of this earth that does not, people try to justify themselves by calling themselves normal and picking on people different then they are, however they are not anymore normal then the people they pick on.
So is homosexuality normal? Yes and No. Its not common but what makes something normal?
