      Shouldn't I get paid for bringing all these new people to hubpages? But it has to be more to it than annoying me...I would suggest people stop talking about it and actually do it or move on. Talk is cheap. I can say with AUTHORITY that men should have sex with men if that's what they were born to do. Try it! You'll like it! Or you wont, then you can talk about it with some actual substance.

        It doesn't take actually TRYING something to know it's wrong.

        Why don't you TRY IT (listening to your conscience)?




        And indeed Flightkeeper keeps being proven right.  Liberals are like clockwork.  A person could almost set their watches by the parade comin' into this thread.

          My concience is what keeps me here. And my concience and God givin commen sense is something some people here can't compete with. That's why they need to resort to distraction of any kind they can grab onto, rather than face a question or comment head on. People are scared and confused and need something to believe in. They are desparate to hold on to any belief they can. It doesn't have to make sense, it doesn't matter if it's full of holes; just kill the people that oppose your belief and you'll be safe in your hate and ignorance!

      How is a male pleasuring another male any more 'perverted' than a female pleasuring a man or a man pleasuring a female?

      There isn't too much natural about sitting here on a computer, or driving to work. My favourite definition of the word 'perversion' is "a concept describing those types of human behavior that are a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal".

      My whole life is perverted, I like perverted people. Sleeping in a cave with no clothes and eating raw meat from animals that you have just killed with a rock is about as non-perverted that you could get. Jesus wore sandels, he was perverted.

      Out of interest, is masturbation perverted? I bet jesus loved that too, a quick rub to help him sleep....

        You said it yourself, you like perversion.  Your concept of perversion is incorrect, but hey you will live however you choose, so okey dokey.

        You asked about masturbation.

        What I'll say right now is that that's a private matter that people can decide for themselves.   So other than that I'm not commenting on it unless the perverted liberals start trying to say it's a civil right like they say homosexuality is a civil right and start holdin' up signs saying legalize masturbation; (in other words, if you masturbate, keep it in your own closet or private place and don't shove it in mine, 'cause I don't even wanna know.)

          ryankettposted 13 years agoin reply to this

          No, I said I like 'perversion' by way of its much broader meaning. Only shallow minded extremists will utilise such a broad and generic term and relate it only to sexual activity.

          Although, by your own extreme and hateful definition, yes I do enjoy perversion. If perversion incorporates masturbation, pre-marital sexual activity, and the use of visual aids to stimulate myself. As an athiest, I tend to group all of these things into my very own generic and broad term. 'Erotica'.

          The hate-mongering and fear driven propoganda from religions circles which, unsuccessfully, denounces almost all sexual activity is laughable. I would stand more chance of being sexually abused by 'perverted' people in religious circles than I would anywhere else other than prison.

          If the church really does want to impose its dated ideals, then it would be better off radically changing its tactics. One look at the 'Alexa Top 500 Global Sites' list only serves to emphasise that. Everybody is sitting around watching porn and playing with themselves.

You have to understand what perversion is, perversion is lying,drinking wine, stealing, cheating, beating you wife, worshiping God on Sunday, You see brother no one can tell you what you are but them that you let tell you, therefore, you accept the stripes that the christian world beat you with, do not  point at us that would help you because you want stand up and learn the truth.

      Are you asking about the God of the Bible?  The only source that literally 'speaks for God' is His Word, of course.  Romans 1 is a passage that specifically addresses this question.  Consider verses 25-27 "For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.  For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."  Check out Lev 18:22 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."  God loves everyone, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Rom 5:8).  I would say that if we love God, we would not condone committing acts of 'abomination', taking advantage of His grace.  Look at Jude 1:4: "ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness [sexual freedom]".  God's Word speaks for God.

        "The" bible (can you identify the one out of the many versions that is the "The"?)  Is not the word of any god.  The readily available ones are one group's interpretation of a previous interpretation of (on and on and on) of some original stories made up by barely civilized men, and sometimes plagurized from other sources.  One of the most widely used versions was interpreted under the direction of an openly bisexual King of Britain.

        It's not exactly a legitimate source for developing moral structure.

                  My question was directed to Ron.  Do you have the answers?  Look up the word 'women' in the Bible and then look up the word for 'female'.  'Women' refers to wives, and those passages are in relation to the husband and wife relationship within the church congregation.  Look up the word 'husband' and note that the scripture that says a 'woman' [wife] is not to usurp authority over the 'man' ~ 'man' is the exact same word as used for 'husband'.  You are ill-educated on Bible interpretation.  Everyone knows that.  If you care to get educated, read my hub, "Your Daughters Shall Prophesy".

                God is sexless, unless you are referring to We, as gods who, unfortunately are not sexless. Just can't look up to a God who would get caught with his divine pants down. God is of the spirit, so can't be caught with his pants down. Man didn't create God, so cannot humanize him. To say God is gay, or lesbo or whatever is total misconception of the Spirit.

        Yes, the biblical god speaks for himself. Apparently he is a narrow minded vicious homophobe! lol
        Here is some more of "god's love" from the "good book"


            So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.  As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies.  Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies.  So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever.  Amen.  That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires.  Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.  And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other.  Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.  When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.  Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.  They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful.  They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents.  They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving.  They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway.  And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.  (Romans 1:24-32 NLT)

        With a god like that, he did not even need to make satan! lol

    It's all about choice and accountability.  Live your life in an upstanding and honorable way and let Him judge as He sees fit when the time comes.  It is fruitless for man to judge another.  We are to support and love all people.  We don't have to like or advocate what they do, but we are to love and respect each and every human being.  Take the safe road and let Him be the judge.

    All of life is about personal choice and accountability.  Follow the heart and let the chips fall where they may because, eventually, all true knowledge will be upon us and it is our receiving of that knowledge coupled with our thoughts and deeds in life that we are judged.

            You've no right to interfere in someone's life. Sure, you can offer advice, but when that advice is discarded, then your responsibility ends.

            Sorry to say, but your individual actions have shown that the pathetic religious faith garnered by folks with similar or like thinking, such as yourself are completely self-absorbed and selfish to the bone.

            Claiming to speak for a god that does not exist isn't justified. You cannot prove beyond a shadow of doubt that a god actually exists. I can however prove that a belief in a god is actually not required to understand life. I can do that, because I have no questions about my life. And, I do not require a god to know what's in my best interest.

    The issue has to do with what/who we view as authority. Scripture is not ambiguous on the topic. Romans 1 makes it clear that sexual conduct outside of marriage constitutes sexual immorality, regardless of whether it is between two men, two women, or a man and woman who are unmarried. The decision we have to make is whether we accept the scripture as the basis of our beliefs. Because what other people believe, what our parents believe, what our minister believes, isn't credible when it violates or contradicts scripture. Sexual sin is sexual sin, whether we choose to call it that or not. Not because of what I think but because the scripture is clear in Gen that marriage is an exclusive vow between a man and a woman. Any sexual conduct outside of that protocol is immorality. It's not any better or worse than lying, cheating, stealing, or other sin. But ignoring certain scriptures because we don't like what it says surely does corrode one's intellectual integrity. Either reject the scriptures and do/believe whatever other source of authority you choose, or conform to the scripture. But you can't claim scripture as authority and then elevate your opinions to the same level. Just my tandem coppers on the topic. Peace to all.

        By the way, you didn't mention the word Homosexuality in your comment. Maybe you to are aware that the homosexuality was not a part of the original Greek language. And you are also probably aware that the two Greek words for homosexuality is nowhere in the original text! It was made up by men, and added to the bible as part of the writers agenda to spread fear and hatred in order to control the masses. To do that, you need a scapegoat or some other type of patsy to distract the people while you bend them to YOUR WILL, not Gods!

Judge not, lest you be judged, and let they who are so pure as to be virginal in spirit and body (paraphrasing here) and w/o sin cast the first stone. Would it be better for a man to hate his brother, and kill him? Would it be better for a man to hate himself, and kill himself. This is what they do for your judgement of them, so aren't you then guilty of murder? Jesus said this, Love your brother as you love yourself.

        Jesus also said we will be judged by His Word.  You can't deny the Word, as to its clarity on this subject.  In John 12:48 Jesus states, "He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day."  Speaking of judge not, lest you be judged, read Romans 2:1: "Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things."  Go down to verse 23: "But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?"  Bottom line is, the Bible will judge everyone.  Live by it and thus live in Christ (John 8:31).  Rom 8:1 states, "There is therefore now no condemnation [judgment] for those who are in Christ Jesus".

                Jesus makes the 'imperfect' 'perfect' through faith in Him.  That's the simple gospel truth.  Throw the entire Bible away and keep John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:8-9.  He accepts anyone who comes to Him in faith, He then deems (through redeeming) them righteous and changes their old nature into a new nature.  We will no longer want to do that which is 'unnatural'.  He created us, so He knows what to do with us.  Who are we to question Him?

                God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.  If He had created just Adam and Steve, with the biological makeup of man, there would have been no more humans on earth.  I don't think homosexuality was His plan, do you?

          "The term "homosexual" dates from the late 19th century, when human sexuality first began to be studied as a science.

          There is no term that means homosexual orientation in the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts of the Bible.  The authors of the Bible did not understand sexual orientation and thus did not write about it. Thus, when you see one of these words in an English translation of the Bible, it is important to dig deeper and find what the original Hebrew or Greek text really means."

          Common mistranslations in English versions of the Bible:

          "There are two Hebrew words which are often associated with homosexual passages and which are often mistranslated in English versions of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament):

          "qadesh" means a male prostitute who engaged in ritual sex in a Pagan temple. This was a common profession both in ancient Israel and in the surrounding countries. The word is often mistranslated simply as "sodomite" or "homosexual." (e.g. the King James Version of the Bible, Deuteronomy 23:17). The companion word quedeshaw means female temple prostitute. It is frequently mistranslated simply as "whore" or "prostitute." A qadesh and quedeshaw were not simply prostitutes. They had a specific role to play in the temple. They represented a God and Goddess, and engaged in sexual intercourse in that capacity with members of the temple.

          "to'ebah" means a condemned, foreign, Pagan, religious, cult practice, but often simply translated as "abomination." Eating food which contains both meat and dairy products is "to'ebah" A Jew having a meal with an Egyptian was "to'ebah." A Jew wearing a polyester-cotton garment, or having a tattoo is "to'ebah" today."

              What is wrong? The idea that much of the bible has been mistranslated? I've already shown you a couple of the many mistranslations to be found in english versions of the bible so clearly modern versions of the Bible are inaccurate. Even your bible quote above may be inaccurate!

              IF scripture was given by God, then how do you know you're reading the correct version? Or even if any modern version of the Bible is an accurate translation? What about the many parts of the bible that were left out? If it's not accurate then you are not following the word of God, but the word of the translators and the word of the Romans who chose what parts to include.

    Everything the LORD created has a purpose, sex between man and women is to reproduce, God told them to be furitful and fill the earth. How Can sex between man and man produce anything but corruption? Its a violation of the law of reproduction.

      Where do people come up with such bald statements?  Maybe the Lord's purpose was beauty, or to give man pleasure with a secondary purpose of reproduction.  After all, we are different than nearly all other animals in that we don't have a "season".  Or maybe, in spite of your comment to the contrary, God had no real purpose.  And the earth is already full of people.  And homosexual sex can produce happiness, pleasure and love - none of which are corruption.  And there is no "law of reproduction" except in your own mind.

      Nor is it a crime against nature; such crimes are always and only defined by the person speaking of it, not by God or man.  In addition more than a few other animals practice the same act; nature cannot commit a crime against itself as it has no concept of right or wrong.

    Everything in this universe is governed by laws, there are electrical laws that governs the operation of  the very instruments we are using to communicate with each other, if one semiconductor shorts in the power supply breaks whole system goes dead, an electrical law has been broken, death to the system. Without laws there would be no life.  Because of the law of mathematics NASA can plan a trip to the moon, and know exactly where the will be a week form now, one missed calculation the spacecraft overshoots the moon and the craft is gone forever.  Talk about making bold statement, to say there’s no law of reproduction, that’s got to be one of the boldest statement off all time. Now you are being unreasonable.  Ask any biologist  if there’s law to reproduction.

    If you don’t even accept the reality of the physical laws that you witness everyday, how can you possibly began to understand that there are spiritual laws. I see this can’t go anywhere.

      What IS that law, then?  The closest I can think of is that a species must reproduce to endure and survive as a species.  Mankind has certainly done that for millenia in spite of the homosexuality that has existed throughout history.  Species survival does not require that each and every member reproduce itself.

      I think many of us have known children who exhibited homosexual tendencies, or perhaps sexual confusion would be a better term, at an early age.  I do not believe they chose to be like this and were simply born with the traits. 

      How terrible for them to be born in a society in which they are judged as sinful by those who claim to love the God who made not only the unfit, but those who judge them.

    How many who are judging others and call themselves Christians watch porno? Is that not a sin? How many smoke and drink? Is that not a sin? How many cuss? How many abuse there wives, husband's,children and pets? How many go to nightclubs and bars? How many pick up ladies of the evening? How many are secret about being homosexual and have not came out of the closet? How many do not love thy neighbor as thyself? How many are racist? How many argue instead of embrace? How many judge?

    What I am trying to get at is, there are true Christian's who walk right by God's side and they do not judge and forgive those who make mistakes. Look at the backyard of many Christians, before anyone can lead a person to Christ they must first kill the weeds in there own backyard.

    Judge and you to shall be judged.  Look at the backyard and begin to pluck those weeds. If you are righteous you are entitled to preach, but if you are not begin to work on the lawn.

          The perception of 'peace' is interesting.  Some think peace comes through strategic discussion all the way up to war; some think peace comes through not ruffling anyone's feathers (fear = sand).  All the Apostles would have been considered to fall into the words of Jesus found in Mat 5:9, "blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God".  Their names are written on the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:14), yet they certainly 'ruffled feathers' (no fear = Rock) to the point of martyrdom.  I respect your witness, Brenda ~ you are a soldier for the Lord!

We are still searching. we are a WIP, We are perfect beings convinced of our imperfection, deceived by lying tongues of those who would manipulate you and I, for they too, are convinced of the imperfection of God's creation. That is why we are insistant that God sees things the way that "I" or "They" do. But what is beyond that door, only God knows.  Heaven is not an exclusive place, it is inclusive, and although, yes, sex between not just men but women too, is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, but once the sinner comes into full understanding, they must "take up their bed and walk. Go and sin no more." These are matters between an individual and his creator, and ISN'T for us to judge, for in judging we break God's law, so therefore are in danger of His judgement.

              Very well said. I's just that I don't think God ever thought or spoke of sex of any kind. Sex and other harmless acts were added by men for control of the masses. Explain why sex between men is an abomination, but sex between a 90 year old man and a 12 year old girl is not an abomination in the Bible. Really...do you think God had anything to do with that? Old, powerful, rich men wrote the Bible so they could F@#k young girls and boys. And another thing; if the word of God and Jesus was so important to the men controlling what went in the Bible; why was Dead Sea Scroll kept out of the Bible?

                It is a completely wrong concept. This is one of the reasons why people avoid attending church, though they are conscious of its benefits as far as spiritual strength and gaining understanding of the beliefs of different religions.

                They acknowledge the fact that the fear of judgement by peers has a certain power in their life and affairs.

                Believe me, it is not difficult to develop these fears. If you are earnest and are willing to become stronger, you will certainly overcome them, thus gaining a fuller understanding of life. IMO

I am my brother's keeper as long as my brother wants or needs a keeper, as I would he do the same for me. That is really why judgement on what two people do should be left to spiritual judgement, because judgement by our peers can have consequences beyond what God might/does intend. Persecution of any person should be shouted down. Hate in any form is poison. I am not God's avenging angel, I am not that flaming sword of judgement. (But I am one helluva writer! Pat myself on the back. LOL

                  No thanks!  I have spent way too much time in church among those not unlike some here.  Most have no idea where the scripture they study actually came from and have inherited their religion from their parents anyway.  Do they actually believe they just happened to be born into the only real belief system?  Of course they do!

                    very reason I don't like talking to indoctrinated Christians. Self centered, paranoid, and self righteous. There is more to God than they will concede. But I also try to avoid Christian bashing, and tend to try to defend them from unfair attacks. They seem to be easily offended.

      I'm having visions of what gay men are putting under your nose and down your throat. (you went there!)

      Gay people are not telling you to have sex with them or you will be killed and go to hell. You're no victim here!

      You got a good point there.  What people are doing with their penises seems to cause alot of people to get very hot and bothered with something that has nothing to do with them.  Why so much concern over the use of someone elses private parts? Are people forcefully waving them under peoples noses and shoving them down people's throats? It should be a crime...

    It seems so obvious to me. Sex is actually meant to produce offspring. Since two men having sex will not produce offspring how is this natural. So in the subject of religion, God created man and woman to populate the earth. If you are gay it is because you choose to be. But the facts still remain, sex is to produce offspring. Sex in the case of gays is purely for recreation thats all. As far as the original question, God loves all his children, although he may not love what all of them do.

          So Diane - does that mean if a member of a heterosexual couple is infertile, but they continue to have sex it should be considered recreation and therefore is a no-no?

          And to the general discussion - where are the lesbians in all this? I consider myself bisexual (I mean c'mon, women look better than men anyday!). Why is lesbianism generally more acceptable than gay men?

          I like the views of Anton Lavey - Do as you want as long as you don't hurt anyone (sounds scarily similar to the Wiccan Rede, doesn't it?)

          *Sits and waits for the flames* Yes there is a reason I generally avoid the religious discussion forum!

      If two heterosexuals had sex with the intention of having some fun and not with the intention of producing offspring, would that be natural?

      I choose to be a gay person since I was six years old. The only harm that came to me was when I dated a girl for appearance sake, and caught a nasty STD. So explain the harm that will come to me and my partner besides old age.  I'm 53 and very happy and healthy.

        A Person only get happiness from God, therefore, you can not be happy. I think I will ask that question What is happiness? What did you have a STD, Because you went against what God teaches. No sex until marriage. People call themselves christians have sex before marriage are going against God.

    According to your (flawed) theory, now that me and my husband have had all the babies we want we should never have sex again??!!

    Sex, whatever the person's sexual orientation, is about far more than making babies and it's more than recreation as well (though of course, plenty of couples have sex for recreation including hetero couples - is that ok in your rule book?).
    Another primary purpose of sex is about expressing commitment, love, affection and strengthening bonds which any adult has the right to enjoy with another adult.

      Susana, I agree with most of what you said, but the part about expressing commitment has me confused. How do people use sex to express commitment? Is that when they have sex even though they don't feel like it, just because their partner wants to? That would be women who do this, right? Or anyway, the receptive partner in the relationship?

      The partner who can't fake it, on the other hand, couldn't possibly express commitment that way.

      1. Susana S profile image92
        Susana Sposted 13 years agoin reply to this



        No, that's about the farthest from what I was talking about. I think sex can express commitment especially after an argument, or if the couple have been seperated for a while through work or a trip, or if the individuals have been busy doing their own thing and have drifted apart a bit.
