NolSinkler said: Homosexuality is the result of deep-rooted confusion about the proper role of self and others in society and in relationship to one another. Confusion implies that a person does not know who s/he is. If a person is confident that he's attracted to the same sex, then there is no confusion.
It is a condition that cannot persist through time, prevents the continuation of a species , degrades proper moral and intellectual development, and destroys the body. This being said, we should not curse the homosexual, for he is gravely confused and holds many falsehoods true; we should not hurt the homosexual, even though he hurts himself and those around him; rather, we must renounce that which is falsehood in his life and help him to overcome his disordered (not properly ordered) desires.
This entire paragraph is irrelevant. We are looking for the causes of homosexuality, not the effects. It has been plainly seen for millennia by the the vast majority of mankind that homosexuality is disordered and is something to be repressed and destroyed by society (which implies that it must be repressed and destroyed at an individual level as well). We know that repression and destruction implies pain and suffering - but if we destroy that which is evil, do we not do well? Which is not to say that the person with such desires must be destroyed. On the contrary, we must prevent him from destroying himself.
This entire paragraph is irrelevant. We are looking for the causes of homosexuality, not whether it is evil. What gives rise to the homosexual movement in our society today? It is the outcome of numerous factors. Male-female relationships have become overtly sexual, and male-female relations which are not extremely sexual are seen today as 'less than' a normal, functioning relationship. Now, the homosexual is such a one that will have trouble functioning in a heterosexual relationship - but in times past, such relationships were not based on sex, but were based on commitment, contracts, and other such devices. And so today, the homosexual has a great deal of trouble finding a suitable wife, because he is told that the ideal partner must be sexually attractive before all else. This is a lie that has crept into our society.
This does not explain the cause of homosexuality. It instead hints at the development the homosexual 'movement,' but still doesn't present any causes for homosexuality in the first place. While more relevant than your other paragraphs, this one is still, ultimately, irrelevant. So when we seek to conquer the homosexual problem of today, in such a way that the homosexual can be liberated from the tyranny of his disordered sexual desires, we must look at the heterosexual relationship first, which has been distorted and has become the model for the homosexual relationship. For you see, a correct heterosexual relationship has as a component sex, for a purpose, but does not has as its main purpose sex. The 'homosexual' person believes, truly or falsely, that intercourse with a member of the opposite sex will not be as satisfying as with a member of the same sex, and therefore, that this precludes them from any successful heterosexual relationship. Unfortunately, in our society, this is true.
This paragraph is irrelevant. This thread is not meant to determine how we can conquer the homosexual 'agenda.' And so we see that the problem in our society does not rest on the homosexual, but rests on the heterosexual members of our society, who, understanding and perpetuating a false ideal of a proper heterosexual relationship, have forced others to believe themselves inadequate for a heterosexual relationship, pushing them into the homosexual relationship. Seeing then that the problem is actually the offspring of false ideas in the majority of the population, we must strive to correct these ideals, in doing so, correcting the homosexual problem. For the homosexual understands he has a problem - they know they do not conform to the heterosexual norm - and so they have sought to change the norm, but they have done so in the wrong way, and so have continued to push society in the same direction that it was already headed, which is, toward even greater sexualization.
This paragraph is irrelevant.
The increased sexualization of relationships will push people not only from heterosexuality, but from homosexuality, into even more deviant sexual relationships, because people will feel that they fail to live up to the sexual ideal of each new category created, and so directing their sexual energies elsewhere.
Perhaps, but what causes homosexuality to begin with,
