But you weren't born catholic. At best you were born to catholic parents. If your parents were Muslim, chances you would be Muslim at well, at least as a child. You were born into a certain religious culture, but it is not engrained in your genetics.

sure there is
they are perverts

Yes, but homosexuality is not the only form of perverse sexual behavior.

evil... They are going straight to Hell,

Be careful; I do think we are instructed not to make that call.

 

[glassjester]

What I am saying is "evil" is irrelevant. Either an action impacts innocent lives (in the case of a wild bear that attacks me or my family, or a rapist) or it doesn't (two homosexuals who engage in a relationship with each other).

So...

Immoral behaviors are those that cause harm to other people.
Moral behaviors are those that do not cause harm to other people.


Is this how you define morality?
I am truly asking; I mean no offense.

 

[republicanchick]

Gays are born that way in all human populations and in all time. G-d has obviously purposed the universe that way. As for homosexuality being an 'abomination.' It is far more complex an issue than that and most here know it. We no longer accept the other 'abominations' mentioned in scripture as normative nor should we accept this one.

common sense tells you that these acts are WRONG. You don't even have to be Catholic to figure that one out... although it helps...

actually, maybe.. now that i think about it... maybe you do have to be Catholic to figure out.. lots of stuff....

yeh, the latter sentence...

but still... even people outside the Church have figured it out in spades... so...

we're not talking about other perversions here

it is objectively immoral to engage in homosexual acts... and to refrain from saying so b/c you don't want to be perceived as being "judgmental"

is denying Christ... denying truth... dishonest

Yes. I was not saying to be careful about pointing out sexual immorality.

I meant that you should be careful about saying that you know who will go to hell.

I meant that you should be careful about saying that you know who will go to hell.

yeh, too bad i didn't say any given person was going to Hell...

i said and will continue to say that those who wantonly engage in homosexual acts ARE going to go to Hell if they do not repent and abstain from such for the rest of their lives...

now there's your cue

you can yell JUDGMENTAL

don't care...

technically, everyone is the enemy... until proven otherwise

and proof often takes a lot of time and experiience interacting

I prefer cautious optimism to cautious pessimism, but that's a personal decision, I suppose.

Maybe... I was born that way.

yeh, i was born a pessimist... and then pessimism was further drilled into me.. by life... and a "less than optimal" parental relationship
