Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Ok, this thread seems to now be flushing out a few people who reckon homosexuality is wrong.

Why is it wrong?

Why have a group of people claiming to follow the teachings of a possibly mythical person, who reckoned to preach love, tolerance and understanding... want to kill people for their lifestyle? Especially as their lifestyle does not affect or interfere with their own lives?

To keep a folk aspect to it, I know many people who wouldn't and couldn't understand Morris dancing, sticking your finger in your ear and singing about reed cutting despite being born, bred and living in a city.

But many people do.

And enjoy it.

The difference being that nobody has an ingrained hatred of such people. Hobbies and interpretations of entertainment may not be the same as the bloke next door, but he doesn't open a page of a 2,000 year old book and claim the book says to kill them? Or if he did, we have a medical diagnosis for such behaviour.

To anybody who says homosexuality is wrong.. So, what is right then? Can we have a list so we can bow to your smug sanctimonious pathetic illness?

Just because I could never be gay, (it might make my eyes water,) doesn't mean that I despise people who are. I don't understand the fascination with bell ringing either yet my wife's family seem to revolve around it. Still married her. I didn't point and laugh....
