I accept your argument, but the silence of a human is much stronger imho. I'll just leave it there since we both agree it's a rabbithole we don't want to fall into. TheWHY. So, as I explained to Jay, in my humble opinion, there is such a thing as absolute morality, that is defined above and beyond the personal experiences of each person. You may not agree with that, and that's your pre-rogative, but as a believer in the divine and his holy statutes, it is my opinion that anything that is outside of his ordinances, that is accepted, paves the way to loosening the sacredness in other areas. So, for instance, opening the door to pedophilia is a step to opening the door to homosexuality, to bestiality, and vice versa. I have no pragmatic reason for this except my own personal conscience and senses of the results of these activities. That's all I can say. |
If that's your personal belief than that's fine and dandy. You're an individual, and you're free to determine your behavior based on your personal beliefs. If you think that homosexuality is going to lead you down the road to bestialty, then by all means don't have gay sex.
The problem is that the person who said this quote was not just some guy on a message board. He was a senator, who is in charge of making policies. It is his job to look at the evidence and make informed and educated decisions. It's not ok for him to legislate based on his personal opinons, religious beliefs, or anything besides sound logic, reasoning, and evidence.
