"animals do all sorts of things that are unhealthy and unnatural."

Yes I agree runner, just the other day I saw two wombats doing lines of coke with a rolled up twenty, and then proceeded to rob four banks and rape a Tassie devil.

What can I say runner, its a changing world:)

Can animals act contrary to nature? The topic is not about animals. It is obvious that body parts for humans were designed despite the pathetic attempts to explain otherwise. Sodomy is not only unnatural as the anal passage is obviously designed to pass waste. Many diseases have been passed on and spread through the un natural act of sodomy. On the other hand the female and male were obviously designed for each other.

Dear runner,

David G has not commented on this thread. I did. I did not pervert the scriptures. I cited them exactly although it was a translation from the original. The quote indicates that David was attracted to Jonathan more than to women. That doesn't mean he was strictly homosexual. He was apparently bisexual and attracted to both sexes but more to Jonathan. Of course he may have been complete fiction as much of the Bible is. Those who wrote the Bible were creative story tellers.

It is also apparent that our bodies were not designed but evolved. There is much evidence for that. Our ancestors if we go back far enough were four legged. We get backaches and some foot problems because we are descended from four legged creatures and weren't designed to stand upright. Our appendix may be a vestigial organ which our ancestors used to digest cellulose. Some of us believe in such primitive nonsense as a virgin birth because shared superstition was a bonding force for tribal people. Some of us are bigoted against people who believe in different religious mumbojumbo since suspicion of the outsider also was a bonding element in our ancestry. With your stock of religious superstition you are evidence for its binding force.

Rhian,

You are correct when you say that ..
"Scriptures demand time and again that we should be tolerant and inclusive; it's a shame we're so often the opposite".

However, a complete reading of the Bible would reveal that the God of the bible is a God of both love and justice. While he created humanity and loves us as individuals, he is also holy and cannot tolerate rebellion (aka sin).

God solved this problem in sending Jesus to meet his requirement for justice by showing undeserved mercy ... for those who want to receive it.

Too Runner and maybe Hasbeen and all the other homophobes. Hasbeen has a son a the Armed Forces:) Yes people, I have a gay sister too.
