LOL! Perhaps I'll find a way work in some Bill and Ted too.
BCS,It's nice to see you over here. I think you were around most of the time when I was Johnny_cat, way back when.
Thanks, you too. I remember a Johnny-cat.
I think it would be interesting if people of faith actually looked at the morality behind the things they take for granted.
Done and no, I don't take any of it for granted. However I do not need to find some scientific explaination for every little thing either.
But in the case of homosexuality, the science is already against the agenda. There is no evidence that it is inborn and even if it were, since homosexuals can't naturally reproduce, it would be an abberation.
On top of that, the evidence is overwhelmingly against the homosexual lifestyle choice in terms of risk factors for death, disease, abuse (of all kinds), etc.
In addition, if homosexuality ever was proven to be inborn, it would have no impact whatsoever on LDS doctrine and policy because of Ether 12:27.
I personally don't care if consenting adults do whatever in their own homes, but the risk factors are too great to allow state recognition of marriage or adoptions (no compelling reasons).
I suppose a case could be made for homosexuality's being problematic for the species, but "God said so" doesn't strike me as a particularly moral stance.
If one has any description at all of God and/or what God has said, then that says a whole lot about the morality of the 'God said so stance'. Such a concept is rich in morality. The real question is who's morality is right?
