Self-lubricating anuses;
Semen and faeces metamorphosising into self-fertilised eggs,
attaching themselves to the lining of the rectum and growing into children;
male nipples giving succour to the young;
women with strap-on dildos ejaculating into lesbian vaginas.
The scientific evidence is in:
Dilating sphincters in the rectal birth canal prove it.
Homosex is just the same as heterosex.
That our medical textbooks don’t yet reflect our new-found knowledge on human sexuality is bewildering.

Well, as they say, 'god created Adam and Eve', not 'Adam and Steve'.

And God created homosexuality and lesbianism.

It's amazing in this day and age that this discussion is even taking place in a 1st world country like ours.

There's still quite a few places in the world where people who are not heterosexual are imprisoned regularly and even executed.

if many get their way with the 'bill of rights' many will be jailed in the 'civilised' world for expressing an opinion contrary to the secularist.

Dear runner,

The main reason for denying marriage to
gay couples appears to be that all major
religions consider homosexuality a sin;
however, all Australians are supposed to
be equal under the law. Government agencies
and independent courts must treat everyone
fairly. All Australians are entitled to the
protection of the law. And the law clearly
states that a person's religious views or
lack thereof must be protected. Civil and
religious marriages are two separate
institutions. Marriage by the state is a
secular activity; the government cannot start
making laws just because a religion says they
should. As someone pointed out in an article
I was reading, "What's next, should we make
taking the Lord's name in vain a criminal
activity because Christians consider it a breaking
of a commandment?"

As for your reference to the Scriptures regarding
gay marriage. The Scriptures must be taken in
context to the times in which they were written -
and as you must be aware - there are various
different interpretations given to them by many
theologians. However, while the Old Testament
focused on rules and consequences, the New Testament
offers a message of love.

Rather than trying to be God and pass judgement on
others, a better option for a proclaimed
believer such as yourself may be to pray and ask
for help - to get
rid of judgemental attitudes and prejudices.

Marriage by the term that identifies a male and female bonded relationship for the mutual support and committment to bear and raise children called family. Family is a biological term meaning genetic offspring. Children have a natural right to know ancestory, to be nurtured by their biological parents. There is no way children are the offspring of two persons of the same sex.

What the Scripture condemns is anal sex because it is unclean act and the breeding ground for disease that the body is excreating. It is the connection of the purity of sexuality with excreated body waste. That is why we have a campaign to wash hands after visiting the place of excreatment. Males are the main offenders of neglect in this area.
