Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
From Bill's linked publication.

"WHEN the documentary film March of the Penguins came out in 2005, some Christians tried to exploit it to promote a conservative social agenda. To them, the penguins' apparent monogamy and selfless parenting affirmed the rightness of traditional family values.

This is a logical error sometimes called the "naturalistic fallacy": you cannot draw inferences about what is right from what happens in nature. Penguin behaviour tells you nothing about human morality.

The same applies to same-sex sexual behaviour in animals (see "Homosexual selection"). It might be tempting to use animal examples to refute claims that homosexuality is unnatural and therefore wrong. That would be a mistake. We have no need for fallacious arguments to support basic human rights"

Qite correct....and my objections to the normalisation of homosexual practice have been purely on health grounds(statistics are available)

My objection to homosexual marriage....again the normalisation of homosexual practice on health grounds and the attempt by homosexual activists to re-define "marriage", allowing it to encompass homosexuality in the face of opposition from the vast majority of Christains worldwide
Nothing at all to do with "evil"
