The worrying thing is that's not the worst rubbish that shes_crazy has posted to date. :rolleyes:

In fairness, you probably haven't even tried it. How do you know?

I haven't engaged in consensual incest either. Have you?

That gay "sex" is disgusting imo is as good a reason as any to make it illegal again.

fyp

don't forget you are entitled to your opinions but we should keep them to ourselves,

i find coffee disgusting, the taste/smell....etc

should we ban everyone from drinking coffee? make it illegal?

you can't stop people doing what they want in a free society. why do we stop two people who want to be with each other from doing what they want? and what effect does it have on my marriage? none!

I look forward to it, I must say. Different genre, but there's been a big empty space left here since a certain CT poster was permabanned.

No. It was a full blown religion.

That's probably as stupid as calling atheism a religion. Communism was a moral authority.

Ripping apart ones anal cavity is quite different from the smell of coffee.

Anyway, you guys asked for non-religious reasons as to why homosexuality should be banned. I have stated the obvious.

If you want more reasons, I'm more than happy to provide them to you. And give you plenty of medical evidence too.

Finally, why should people hide their religious beliefs so as to appease anti-theists? Excluding the religious dimension is to exclude a whole body of knowledge that you just wish to conveniently exclude because you don't like it. Ostriches with their heads in the sand comes to mind.

Atheism bears all the hallmarks of a belief system. It's just it's intellectually shallow, inferior and faddish.

Yes, you guessed it. Latent homosexuality...

F*cked if you like men. F*cked if you don't. Can't win.

Shes_crazy, religious beliefs should not influence the position of a government or their policies unless they are actually arguing from a factual perspective. Leviticus should have no implications upon laws in a state.:pac:

.

what if it is two females having sex? its not all about anal or intercourse for that matter,

plenty of hetro marriages are based on other factors why do you assume gay marriage is all about intercourse?

Hi actor! Missed you around the place!

So being gay should be banned but you're free to come back in drag to troll us?

I'm not against gay relationships, but it is interesting how societies deem things as acceptable and not.

For example, incest is illegal, and massively frowned upon in our society, and I too like most people am against it.

But most arguments for gay marriage and relationships in general could also be applied to incest.

I'm glad you raised the point of the nasal orifice -- use of the body's orifices contrary to their design is immoral and often unhealthy.

If I ate a load of food and made myself sick, it would be pointless, immoral and disgusting. If I slid my hands down my underpants it would be the same. If I bummed another man it would be the same too -- pointless, self-gratuitious and unhealthy (both physically and mentally).

So if its pointless, why worry about it. I think eating oysters is disgusting, I don't lose sleep over it though. To me, just because you don't agree with someone's lifestyle and bashing it is immoral!

Religious people make up government. Nobody should be forced to hide their beliefs to appease an aggressively secularist lobby.

Leviticus is Old Testament. How many members of Seanad Eireann take Leviticus literally do you know?

I'm pretty sure it was put to me in a similar way: 'They're all like gay, and in your face and yuck and gay and stuff'. I realised I could never hope to win an argument with such a towering intellect.

If they're consenting adults who gives a ****? Why do you care?

Not many 2 headed babies born out of gay relationships I'd imagine.

Actor's had this put to him a few times, he usually just ignores it so he can get back to the aul anuses. Fixates on anuses he does, can't get enough of them.

with incest though is it not down to genetics? having a higher risk of genetic defects if a pregnancy arises,
not to mention not mixing the gene pool can cause problems in itself (*cough* royal families *cough*)

where as two (non incest) people being married is totally different. we allow people marry because one is male one is female, yet not if they are the same gender?

You seem to take Leviticus pretty seriously, maybe not literally but it's the foundation for your homophobia and you have lowered the bar entirely for this discussion.

What you are arguing in favour of is a theocracy, Ireland is not a theocracy so therefore has no basis for banning homosexuality. I'm grateful that we do not love in a theocracy as they're not considered the best for human right. The vast majority of the Irish public support gay marriage so the dail would legislate in favour of it when the referendum does eventually pass, politician's personal beliefs have nothing to do with it.

Besides birth defects, the foundation of many incestuous relationships is abuse or grooming of some variety. So it become a relationship where the abuser is in power.

Sorry to break it to you, a man can't get pregnant when another guy does him up the gicker!

Yup.. A large and diverse system...

Like I said it's both large and diverse.
Barely have room to fit it in one post!

It's like a magnetic attraction to anuses. It calls out to them through the internets.

They want to resist the anuses... but they just can't.

Nah. You can't. They're not.

One is a relationship between consenting adults. The other is abuse. Really? You need this explained?!?

No. I'm not suggesting that at all, and I think you know it. Do you really just want to get into sniping over and back, based on a selective interpretation of posts?

APART FROM RELIGIOUS BELIEFS what are the arguments against gay marriage?
