@STNGfan,
yes, giving up sex to be closer to god makes zero sense. The two are so unrelated it's not even funny. It's like quitting smoking so you can play checkers better.
"both a recreational activity and one of the most profound expressions of love" huh? Interesting how you devalue and place value into the same thing within the same sentence. It's just whatever you want it to be isn't it?
And the primary function of sexual activity
is reproduction of the species. It is natural law and prevalent in the natural world. That fact that we enjoy the process is nature's way of saying "keep doing it"
Even species who do not mate for the purpose of reproduction are asexual, name one species in the natural world that uses homosexual intercourse for reproduction and you will have given your stance the first shred of informative substance. We've been doing this for what 4 pages? And you've got nothing to back up what you say? Why continue to argue other then the fact that the information I have provided goes against what your ID wants to do?
You can find 1 scientist who thinks homosexuality is natural, I can find 100 that will still tel you smoking doesn't cause health defects.
I time and again post credible research, give scientific example, and relate action to the natural world. You, with a wave of your hand put away all that in favor of your uneducated (as displayed by your inability to provide anything to back up what you're saying) stances which you claim as your own as a path of self validation for a lifestyle which is designed to stroke your ID.
I'm done here, I was seriously hoping you could debate me but I was mistaken. Do some research and we'll play agian.
