Homosexuality exists throughout nature, not just among humans.

Yet another example of religious fear and loathing. With all the knowledge and scientific methods we have at hand we still prefer superstition and dogma.

There's a religious war happening in the M.E. as we speak. Millions are dying from preventable HIV infections becuase the church says condoms are sinful. Child abuse by religious institutions continues in all parts of the world.

And you're worried about what consenting adults do in their bedrooms?

Well spotted bennie:
Current Catholic policies are responsible for many, many children dying of Aids in African countries.
They are not secondary effects, they are primarily caused by the Catholic teachings and manipulation to prevent condom use.
The hypocrisy and sheer intellectual laziness of these types!
You have the gall to criticize an individual because they behave as their *God given* inner nature dictates, whilst ignoring murder, lies and sheer animal stupidity. You reckon your opinion is "God approved" yet someone's birth is not "God approved?". Where the hell do these people's ego's get off? Finally, what part of "turn the other cheek" do you not understand? Your *God* told you this in plain...er Hebrew!
Can a true believer please tell me how you can sleep at night without the "head in the sand" technique?

Celivia.
Same as I said to Yabby.

Its only an addiction and it can be dealt with through prayer or the 12 Steps, which in truth is prayer anyway.

I dont know about this constant pre-occupation with sex everyone seems involved with these days.

Dont you think it has "civilisation consequences" by encouraging a darker age with more sex crims?

gibo, i think what a bunch us can't understand is some people's preoccupation with OTHER people's sex! It's cook's and the catholic church's preoccupation which is exactly the issue.

the rest of your post is so offensive as to be truly hilarious.

I see Bushbasher you havent studied the fall of civilisations much.

They get to a certain point... and then they are gone.

Every time its the same old stuff that brought them down.

One... they start to excess on sex, men with men, women with women, sometimes even worse.

Then they get into the worship of idols and goof off with witchcraft, which opens doors into the dark side of the spirit world and out floods the spirits to possess and corrupt even further.

Then finally they get into killing themselves... killing their unwanted babies just like we do.

Finally and suddenly its all over.
Theyve gone...and all thats left is are the ragged stragglers of what once was.

Soon comes the fall of the great Western civilisation as God triggers the period we christians call the TRIBULATION.
Hundreds of millions of christians are right now waiting for the end and Christs Second Coming.

You will want to be in church in those days.
Have you seen The Signs that we are in the End Times.
A good site.

I do love the way some contributors to this forum like to bring overpopulation and contraception into the debate (again). Yes, the Catholic Church says "no" to contraception, but it also says "no" to fornication. There are also countless rules about when Catholics can and can't have sex - in fact, rules that could take the fun out of the whole exercise. Surely those Catholics out there who are serious about following the rules wouldn't need contraception, as they aren't having sex at the drop of a hat? Blaming the Catholic Church for the spread of disease or the rampant and uncontrollable population growth in developing countries is a bit of a reach.
