Religious Tolerance is a great source for real and accurate information.
Pint0 Xtreme you seem to forget you on posting on a Christian message board. The Bible is clear that God's intent for marriage is and always has been one man/one woman. The fact polygomy was and is practiced in some cultures is beside the point. BTW, I do know secular history and history found in the Bible where all of the patriarchs had multiple wives as well as some of the Kings of Israel and Judah. However:
Deuteronomy 17:17
17 "Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly increase silver and gold for himself. NAS
This is from OT Jewish Law and it concerns taking multiple wives.
I was commenting on the irony of history and you're ranting off on the Bible? Can you try to stay on topic?
As to homosexuality being destructive behavior that is fairly easy to demonstrate by visiting the CDC site and checking out the statistics on gays and STD's. Gay man are from 5 to 5000 times at greater risk for contracting STD's.
5 to
5000 times at greater risk? :roll: Heterosexual men and women can also contract STDs. Whether you are gay or not is not the major determining factor in contracting STDs.
Sexual practices are. Whether one practices safe sex does. The number of sexual partners does. Not whether you are gay or straight. In fact, the fastest growing rate of new HIV infections are heterosexual women, not gay men. Also, of everyone, lesbians have the lowest infection stats.
You can also do an Internet search on anal cancer, which is found mostly in gay men.
You can also do an Internet search on vaginal cancer, which is found mostly in women.
Does this mean vaginal intercourse is destructive?
You might also like to check out the Netherland's study puplished in the Journal of General Pyschiatry that shows that gay man are at higher risk for medical and psychological problems and this in a country where gay unions are legal.
You tell me.... are their risk of medical and psychological problems caused by their homosexuality or their environment (hint hint, environment)? I'm sure the same can be applied here in the United States.
I have done my homework on this issue have you?
Apparently a lot better than you have.
