GA Thompson is probably part of the Mafia department of a group like Focus on the Family who's task it is to bombard us with this rubbish.

We all know his arguments are bogus and this way of thinking belongs in the dark ages.

These type of people do not help those who are struggling to come to terms with their sexuality, there have been too many suicides as a result. I expect GA Thompson, whomever hiself/herself/itself is, is happy with themselves.

It's quite sad that such irrational and fear ridden people still exist in a world where there is so much information available isn't it.

Ah, tis still the woman deceived by the snake's lie that a tree of knowledge will improve their world...

..ahem, not that I would align myself with GAT's opinions based on hatred.

But you're both wrong. It's right to hate the sin of homosexuality and it's wrong to hate the homosexual. Hate should only ever be directed at evil, not the evil-doer.

It's right to hate the delusion of a deity and it's wrong to hate the sufferer of the delusion. Hate should only ever be directed at the delusion, not the delusional.

It means you should invest in a remedial reading course that includes a class discussion of the meaning of irony and satire.

The original post does not mention hate or poofters, RT. It speaks for itself. Read it again, as you clearly have not got the message...

Homosexuality clearly is not normal or healthy sexual orientation. This is a matter of universal, unchangeable scientific fact -- not of debatable opinion. Sexuality in all life forms, from single cells to plants and mammals, is defined only by reproductive potential. Human sexuality is biologically and physiologically defined only by two genders, male and female. Homosexuals differ from normal men and women only in psychological and behavioural terms. Homosexuality, therefore, is objectively a psychological and behavioural abnormality.

The abnormality of homosexuality has been widely recognised since the dawn of history. It is strongly proscribed behaviour in Judaic, Christian and Islamic doctrine. The great pioneer of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, defined homosexuality as a disorder of psychosexual development. Homosexuality was classified in the American Psychiatric Association's influential tome, the 'Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders' (DSM) until the third edition (DSM-III) of the early 1970s -- when it was removed by disreputable and unscientific political pressure. The consequent opportunities for the delusional behavioural disorders of homosexuality to find political expression have been exploited to the point of being a pervert revolutionary menace to healthy society. Pervert revolutionaries already are attacking marriage and the institutions and values which support it; reproductive technology; and the custody and education of vulnerable children.

Homosexuality must be restored to its proper status as a mental disorder.

> You fall to a 400 year old work of fiction to justify a stand? How > desparate is that?

The books that comprise the Bible may have been combined as a single unit that long ago but each of the 66 books included vary in age by thousands of years, the youngest being those in the New Testament which experts estimate to be written a matter of decades after the life of Jesus. That makes the youngest books around 2000 years old give or take a few decades.

It is well accepted, even in the secular world, that the Bible has been used to validate archeological digs and vice versa. Viewing any documentary on historical or archeological studies in the Middle East will almost always refer to the Bible as supporting discoveries made or vice versa. Even historical writings written by non-Christians eg the Jewish historian Josephus parallel events in the life of Jesus as recorded in the Bible. Declaring it to be fiction is just ignorance and due to the critical nature of the contents to each of our eternal destinations, I would recommend at least reading it first. Even if you choose to reject God afterwards as some do, at least you can give some thought-out reasons when you are asked.

Here is the verse that probably is the clearest in denouncing homosexuality as a sin:
Leviticus 18:22: "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

But if anyone like GAT comes along wanting to focus on anothers sin, then the Bible teaches:
Matthew 7:3: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

So instead, God calls every one of us to:
1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

John 3:17: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

So why reject Jesus who came to save us? Because we love our sin and don't want to turn away from it.

Which might actually mean something, except that Levitical Law was a specific pact of laws made between God, and "The Children of Israel". Moses would have considered it a grievous sin to so much as teach these laws to Gentiles,
much less expected them to follow it. It might also carry a bit more weight if modern day Christians followed ALL of the laws in Leviticus instead of the few that they like.

Matter of opinion.

Court in the USofA has decreed the bible to be a work of fiction .. i'd rather base my opinions in life on the present knowledge rather than some work of fiction that cannot be validated and is zealously protected by religious scholars ...

2000 years ago they said the world was flat .... do you still believe that?

Scientific analysis rather. The bible's texts have been well documented and exposed to public scrutiny for quite some time and nobody has proven them wrong. Age is often the very first thing validated before any further studying of ancient texts happens.

> Court in the USofA has decreed the bible to be a work of fiction .. i'd > rather base my opinions in life on the present knowledge rather than some > work of fiction that cannot be validated and is zealously protected by > religious scholars ...

Well, I would have to ask you what exactly is "present knowledge"? Isn't it the aggregate of knowledge that man has collected since the dawn of time? Everything we know now wasn't just learned in modern times. The Bible has also contributed to man's knowledge of many other things besides God such as knowledge of cultures, history etc.

I'm unsure of the accuracy of your reference to a USA court declaring the Bible to be a work of fiction, it may help if you could include a reference. It sounds unlikely to me when their constitution is firmly entrenched in the bible. It is psychologically easier to ignore God if you can declare him a fiction - except that whether we choose to believe or not will not change the fact that we will all stand before God one day. Our commission as Christians is to proclaim the good news of Jesus as our saviour, who died on the cross to pay for our sins and then rose again, so all who believe He has paid for their sins will be saved. It won't be some court in the USA adjudicating on that day, Jesus alone will be judge.

> 2000 years ago they said the world was flat .... do you still believe that?

I probably would have believed that then but my belief in the shape of the world is independant to my belief in God. Also God would not reject anyone if they did not understand all the laws of physics (as I'm sure we still don't). God loves each one of us and seeks restoration to the relationship we have broken when we reject Him.

These scripture references show the Bible is meant for all peoples, not just the Jews:

Genesis 12:1-3: "The LORD had said to Abram, Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

So even in Genesis, God has indicated He wants to bless all people. Then in the New Testament:

Galatians 3:8: "The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: All nations will be blessed through you."

So this scripture echoes again that Abraham, and God's people, simply got the gospel in advance, not in exclusivity.

As for following the laws, nobody can claim they are completely successful at it because that is not why God gave us the law. The law is there to make us understand how we fall short of God's Holiness and need Jesus as our saviour, it was never meant as an achieveable goal for man:

Romans 3:20: "Therefore no-one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin."

Leviticus SPECIFICALLY addresses "The Children of Israel" at least twice.
No mention of Gentiles. It wouldn't be until St. Paul, after Jesus's death, that the idea that Hebrew law should apply to all people came about.

So you should be able to cite the scientific analysis or research that has established the age of the New Testament pretty easily then.

...except that your "fact" is nothing more than your wishful delusion. I suppose that assuming your conclusion makes you less fearful of the world around you, but it is no more a "fact" than assuming that Zeus is superior to your particular deity. Feel free to live your life according to whatever delusion you wish, but don't insist that others must also live by them.

Try this last statement replacing the word 'God' with gays, really strange, huh?

Ignoring gays seems a little pointless also.

That sounds good, but I'll bet you can't get some of your "christian" friends too accept that idea.

Again, given the questionable history of the bible it should not be used as a historical guide ... it is simply a crutch for those who appear to need something simply to survive.

Actually it's easier to ignore god because he doesn't exist.

Actually, many of us believe that you guys are in for a severe dissapointment at some stage.

Irrelevant. Fact is that many years ago people believed based upon what they thought were the facts. Facts have been proven to be different now and we need to move with the times. Hanging onto the ignorant past doesn't get us anywhere ...

Actually, according to the bible, this fictional gods love is quite conditional and thus, people reject the existance as nothing more than an attempt by the church to control people who need something such as god to justify existance. Yuo can believe what you like, but I pity people who can't make their own decisions and who grasp at a work of fiction to allow themselves to sleep at night.

So, you have turned to advocating scientific thought, Tybreaker? Congratulations -- you must be making wonderful progress in therapy! But for scientific thought on the issue at hand you need go no further than the original post in this thread...

Homosexuality clearly is not normal or healthy sexual orientation. This is a matter of universal, unchangeable scientific fact -- not of debatable opinion. Sexuality in all life forms, from single cells to plants and mammals, is defined only by reproductive potential. Human sexuality is biologically and physiologically defined only by two genders, male and female. Homosexuals differ from normal men and women only in psychological and behavioural terms. Homosexuality, therefore, is objectively a psychological and behavioural abnormality.

The abnormality of homosexuality has been widely recognised since the dawn of history. It is strongly proscribed behaviour in Judaic, Christian and Islamic doctrine. The great pioneer of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, defined homosexuality as a disorder of psychosexual development. Homosexuality was classified in the American Psychiatric Association's influential tome, the 'Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders' (DSM) until the third edition (DSM-III) of the early 1970s -- when it was removed by disreputable and unscientific political pressure. The consequent opportunities for the delusional behavioural disorders of homosexuality to find political expression have been exploited to the point of being a pervert revolutionary menace to healthy society. Pervert revolutionaries already are attacking marriage and the institutions and values which support it; reproductive technology; and the custody and education of vulnerable children.

Homosexuality must be restored to its proper status as a mental disorder.

As far as I can tell from reading that "scientific thought" is that they really aren't sure when the New Testament was written, but are guessing at some dates. So the age isn't reallly "validated". That's the same place they were when I studied the matter thirty years ago.

"Dating and authorship of the New Testament is the subject of much study,
and much controversy. The traditional view is that the works were completed within the lifetimes of the contemporaries of Jesus Christ. Some scholars believe the dating to be much later. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Gospels draw on earlier sources. "

Saying something is "the traditional view" does not, by definition, make it accurate.

Well it's true that archeologists wouldn't take the events in the Bible as "a given" but it is true that they do find it a valuable resource as they refer to it frequently. I have seen several documentaries on the ABC and SBS where they have drawn on it to validate their theories on ancient history.

Christians don't view it as a crutch, we view it as a stretcher. The main reason for the Bible is to reveal God to us and how He plans to save us.

> Actually it's easier to ignore god because he doesn't exist.

This verse indicates we all are aware God exists because of the miracle of all He has created, despite not wanting to admit it perhaps:

Romans 1:20: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

I have seen enough documentaries of the human body and general wildlife and nature etc to be convinced nothing so complex could be the result of a series of flukes.

> Actually, many of us believe that you guys are in for a severe > dissapointment at some stage.

We hope that as many come to know Jesus as possible because God has promised eternity with Him in heaven. As beautiful as the earth is, nothing can compare to heaven where sin is absent.

If I have to be purely logical, a big disappointment is still a lot better than being wrong in the other camp. I mean, come on and check it out at least. You will find a loving God who sent His only Son, Jesus to save you because He loves you. If you have been turned off by looking at the followers of Jesus, then take your eyes off them and look at Jesus Himself. You will find nothing offensive in Him. God is Good.

> Ah .. god botherers ... love them all :o)

As the Bible is God's Word, it does not age. As essential as it was, it still is. Is there anything you have in mind when you refer to it as dated?

This verse shows God's love is unconditional in that He chose to act first to bring about reconciliation with us:

Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

> justify existance. Yuo can believe what you like, but I pity > people who can't make their own decisions and who grasp at a work of > fiction to allow themselves to sleep at night.

Well I'm sure I could "get to sleep at night" without God as many do but I have made my own decision and it is based on God whom I find to be a sure thing. What is your decision and what is it based on?

Identification of homosexuality as a disorder does not begin with religion. The opposition of all major religious doctrine to homosexuality is merely a derivative of its objective abnormality. The longstanding religious proscriptions of homosexuality are important, even to the non-religious, as markers in the eternal social recognition of homosexuality as perversion.

As far as I can tell from reading that "scientific thought" is that they really aren't sure when the New Testament was written, but are guessing at some dates. So the age isn't reallly "validated". That's the same place they were when I studied the matter thirty years ago.

"Dating and authorship of the New Testament is the subject of much study,
and much controversy. The traditional view is that the works were completed within the lifetimes of the contemporaries of Jesus Christ. Some scholars believe the dating to be much later. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Gospels draw on earlier sources. "

Saying something is "the traditional view" does not, by definition, make it accurate.

You need to pretend that all so-called "Christians" belong to the same religions, in order to claim that "Christianity" is a major religion.

The Southern Baptist, for example, totally disagree with your position. They claim that Catholics do not practice the same religion as they do.

In addition to pretending that all "Christians" practice the same religion, you'd also have to pretend that all Christian sects share your views on homosexuality. They do not.

But, just the same, here's a list of the world's "Major" religions.

Identification of homosexuality as a disorder does not begin with religion. The opposition of all major religious doctrine to homosexuality is merely a derivative of its objective abnormality. The longstanding religious proscriptions of homosexuality are important, even to the non-religious, as markers in the eternal social recognition of homosexuality as perversion.

Homosexuality clearly is not normal or healthy sexual orientation. This is a matter of universal, unchangeable scientific fact -- not of debatable opinion. Sexuality in all life forms, from single cells to plants and mammals, is defined only by reproductive potential. Human sexuality is biologically and physiologically defined only by two genders, male and female. Homosexuals differ from normal men and women only in psychological and behavioural terms.

Your own conclusion is that it does. Sure, you have to rape the truth in order to get at your conclusion, but that didn't stop you. Here, I'll demonstrate:

> The opposition of all major religious doctrine to homosexuality
So, here we see that you pretend that all major religions are against homosexuality -- a demonstrable lie, and one that flies in the face of your own dishonest conclusion. You begin by pretending that your religion isn't used to justify your homophobia, and then immediately introduce religion in justification of your homophobia.

Pretend that all self-described "Christians" belong to the same religion -- something the so-called "Christians" claim is not true at all (Southern Baptists & Catholics, for example) -- and further pretending that all Christian sects worship your homophobia (they do not), why don't you identify which of the top ten religions you believe have a problem with homosexuality:

http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
> Homosexuality clearly is not normal or healthy sexual orientation.

Of course it's normal! It's every bit as "normal" as blond hair and being left-handed. Another comparison that holds is blue eyes, a rarity (at best) for the vast majority of the world's population.... including all Africans, Asains and the native peoples of North & South America.
Blue eyes are almost exclusively limited to a subset of Europians.

Homosexuality, on the other hand, is found everywhere, on every continent and in every culture. You can't get any more "normal" than that.

As for "healthy," there is nothing unhealthy about homosexuality.
Sleeping around is risky to your health, yeah, but it's risky to your health weather you're gay or straight. Homosexuality itself doesn't add any risks.

You're just plain dishonest.

> The abnormality of homosexuality has been widely recognised > since the dawn of history.

This is demonstrably false, even ignoring the fact that the ancient world didn't share our concept of homosexuality. Their sexual taboos weren't so much based on the gender of your partner as they were on sexual roles, and how these related to class &
standing.

The Greeks, Romans & Egyptians, for example, left us with numerous examples of socially-approved behavior that we (in our modern world) associate with "homosexuality." Their view on homosexuality was no different than their (or your) view on heterosexuality. There were certain behaviors that were socially unacceptable (or "sinful")
and there were others which were not. It's not the fact that they were homosexual or heterosexual that was socially unacceptable (or "sinful"), it was the type of behavior they engaged in.

> Homosexuality must be restored to its proper status as a mental disorder.

Oddly, homosexuality was never a mental disorder. It was once mistaken as such -- the same way Polio was mistakenly believed to be associated with the water -- but that error did not change reality.

So then, why all this prurient interest in the sex lives of gays?
Unless you're gay yourself, or just another homophobe?
Or maybe you have some other reason for pointing out, so called,
defects in others.

If, as you say, homosexuality has been around since the dawn of history, then how can it be 'abnormal' ? I guess you're saying that because some people didn't like it, it's considered abnormal? Now there's a thought.

Some people didn't like it.

Personally, i just don't get it .. it's not like homosexuals jump out of alleys and drag hetrosexuals in there and force us to be homosexuals or anything .. live and let live I reckon ... and as for adoption, even if it's legal it is still not going to be easy for a gay couple to adopt. I reckon if they get through the adoption process then the kids will be far better off than with 1/2 the bloody parents out there today.

It's not easy for anyone to adopt. Heterosexual and homosexual couples should simply have an equal opportunity to adopt, but neither should have the automatic right to adopt and should have to meet equal criteria for adoption to at least try to ensure that the kids are going to good homes.

You still on about your disgusting perversion, are you?
Look, we don't hate you, we aren't scared of you, we just care.
We feel your suffering, and we wish people didn't have to suffer from a mental disorder that causes so many people to think so little of themselves that they go to public toilets to have sex with strangers.
And in return for our caring attitude, what do we get?
Vilification, insults, and general all-round nastiness.
Even worse, some homsoexuals are actually using their influence to create a kind of Stalinesque intolerance to diversity of opinion as evidenced by the Bishop who had to put up with a police interrogation after suggesting homosexuals should seek help:

Which disgusting perversion is that .. I have so many ....

ROFL ... i am so pleased to hear that .....

I suspect the mental disorder is yours ... not only that .. you're obviously a complete idiot.

> And in return for our caring attitude, what do we get?

Caring? Your attitude is insulting, ignorant and lacking any basis in fact. You care only about yourself and your fear ridden attitude to life.
You are a pathetic individual who's an embarrasment to society. You are the one with the mental defect, and you are the one who needs medical attention.

> Vilification, insults, and general all-round nastiness.

Why not, your behaviour not only breaches all moral codes, it breaches the law in this country. Your behaviour in these forums opens you up for legal action and I hope one day someone does that for you.

So what .. if they give a little back than they get from f.ckwits like you ... I say good on them. Bishops who are anti-homosexual should be sacked, just as those who vehemently and ignorantly attack homosexuals as you do should be silenced as well. (in a legal manner of course)

Yes you do, yes you are, no you don't.

2/ Recognising a disorder/medical condition does not equate with insulting somebody.
Or are you saying that people who have mental disorders are inferior or somehow vile?
