You knew I had to ask, but, can you please explain to me what you mean by 'moral?' I'm Catholic too, but disgree with this notion. Does that make me 'immoral?'
Also, didn't Cyric post an entire thread about how the Bible also said touching pig skin is immoral?
If that is the case, do you think playing football is morally wrong, Bloss?
I'm not trying to be difficult Bloss, I just want to know how you define moral.
Well, the part about touching pigskin is pretty open to interpretation. After all, since ham, bacon, and pork chops aren't really the skin per se, it's okay to eat them. With playing football, I thought you knew that the NFL now uses balls made of a synthetic material! [:D]
"Morality" is such a difficult thing to define in today's day and age. I look at it as carrying on a decent standard of living, loyalty to your spouse or significant other, and respecting others' relationships.
I find homosexuality interferes with how God wants us to live. Did He not create a man and a woman? If God wanted men to be intimate with men, I think He would have created 2 men. Just as He would have created 2 women had He wanted women to be intimate with one another. In Genesis, Adam was lonely, and God created a woman for Adam.
That being said, while some may believe they are homosexual, and I do not exactly condone it, I also do not tolerate mistreating, harassing, or demeaning others. I have my beliefs, and others have theirs. I won't use demeaning or mean terms, so long as they don't do it to me. And that is one of the biggest problems. The LGBT-rights community has been trying to promote tolerance with name-calling. If you are offended or opposed to homosexuality, for any given reason, you are automatically a "fundamentalist" or "bigoted" or "hateful". When did name-calling become an effective way to promote tolerance? They have their views. I have mine. They leave me alone, I'll leave them alone.
