Putting aside the question of harm, or not, from homosexual relations, religion is as concerned about harm to self as it is about harm to others. A lot of religious teachings are about improving self and protecting the self as well as being good at a social level. So it is appropriate for religion to regulate behaviour where the only "victim" is the self. On the basis that God actually does know what's best for you more than you do, then God does get to tell you what to do. If you believe of course. |
That's my problem with God. It might help if God told us why something is bad instead of just saying it's bad. In cases where something is harmful to others, it's easy enough to believe it's bad even without proper reasoning. But in cases where it isn't... Yeah, would make more sense if I got a reason it's bad.
