What a sinful waste of time, effort, and money for this research. Humans are not of the animal kindgom. We are a genetic component of God. HE made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve for sexual intercourse. HE made the perfect design of the males anatomy to fit correctly into a womans vagina. Having intercourse in a human anus is unreal as that is our sewer outlet. How sicking for a person to engage into this kind of sex. Having oral sex and sex in this anus is very different. True germs and disease can be gotten and spread both ways, but anual sex is where our bowel movemenets come from--and they are expecelling all the bacteria that thrives there and anyone that has sex in that area is asking for the terrible diseases that exsist there. Yes, there are diseases that exist between hetrosexuals, but nothing like those between homosexuals. If you ask God to fogive you of this perverted thinking and resarch HE will--then correct this article so that others will not be condemmed to a unclean lifestyle. Let the animals do their THING and humans, hetrosexuals, do their THING---THE RIGHT THING.
Humans... not part of the animal kingdom??
We are of the animal kingdom - we share most of the same genetic material and our bodies are *very* similar to that of mammals, even down to having the same kinds of bones and nerves. How dare you assume what God is made of - the bible was written by MAN, not God, so it is flawed. How dare you also assume God has a gender and is male! A Penis also fits elsewhere dear -- if you don't think so, study some anatomy and being gay is not all about sex just as the article is not all about sex, but bonding, etc. The mucousal lining of the anus and mouth are very similar to the vagina -- that's why you can get diseases of any of these anywhere these mucosa exist. Vaginas are also where dead/putrid uteral material is expelled from. You are right that God will forgive you for your hate, but you also have a responsibility to love your neighbor and all created things. You have the perverted thoughts it seems.
From a medical perspective, the anus is by far the "dirtiest" of openings in the body! The shedding of a woman's uterus is a very natural process for a woman,and cleanses the womb to prepare for a growing human being! You are obviously a gay "man" who does not believe in a higher authority than yourself! You are participating in immoral sexual behavior. It is about sex, not bonding! As a homosexual, you will never understand what bonding truly means!Your own words show that you are the one with the hate...don't try to hide behind a forgiving God that you obviously don't follow!
I have never in my life, witnessed any one person, sect, group, organization or otherwise, promote hate and indignaties, more than do those of a very high percentage of the christian belief. I am virtually, always astounded at how they, more than anyone, continue to judge and undermine those outside their level of thinking! I show no degree of surprise that their narrow minded belief system has contributed more to upheaval and brutality on the planet, than any other single event, since the dawning of the evolution of our species. Homosexuality, gaylifestyle or whatever one chooses to label it, is here to stay, always was and will remain so until the sun ceases to shine. And what of mankind, including Homosexuals, who lived here many thousands of years before the arrival of Christianity and subsequently, the bible? Are they doomed to this place they call, Hell, too? Oh no. I forgot. "Christianity applies only to those who lived from the time of Constantine, 353 A.D or so," I can hear them say. I have total regard for anyone who might find comfort in any form of spirituality but don't delude yourself into thinking that you are some rightful messenger, here to preach and broadcast to me, about matters concerning my life. I am gay, and truthfully happy and content in my skin. If there is a problem with that, then THAT is EXACTLY what it is! Your problem! NOT mine! Get over it!
One of the comments that seems to be repeated over and over is that homosexuality is a choice. I have only ever heard heterosexual people say this. I am heterosexual myself - but I have only ever heard from homosexual people that being gay is a part of who they are, and that it's something they realize and decide to accept about themselves, not something they decide to be. I have never heard a homosexual person say that they have decided to be gay. This is an interesting article about the subject that I found - I believe this, that homosexuality is a result of both biological and environmental factors: http://www.narth.com/docs/hom101.html And as you yourself state Glenda, if "annual sex is where our bowel movements come from", I imagine you must be pretty constipated by now. It sure sounds like it.
Thank you!! Homosexuality is NOT a choice. There are so many people who are killed because they're gay, and sooooo many gay teens who kill themselves because they've realized that this world isn't ready for them to be gay. WHO WOULD CHOOSE THAT?! Who would choose to be ridiculed? Who would choose to be hated by everyone around them? Homosexuality is not a choice, and anyone who says it is is just making the assumption that they chose to be straight. A little heads up: you didn't choose it, you just happen to be that way, and you're happy with it.
They don't shed the Uterus... rather the placenta!
Um, you sure about that? I seem to "shed" my uterus every 28 days. Think they call it a menstrual cycle. Look it up. I might be wrong!
No, the point was that you don't shed the uterus. You shed the Placenta. If you shed your uterus, you'd only ever have one period in your life because then you wouldn't have anything to bleed from to have a child grow in.
Menstruation is bleeding caused by the breakdown of the endometrium (the endometrium being the deepest part of the uterus) placenta develops when an egg is fertilized and actually embeds itself into the endometrium; ultimately via hormones preventing the endometrium from breaking down while the egg-foetus-baby develops seriously dude
News for you: - Straight people have anal sex too - Not all gay men have anal sex I'm also interested in the special extra gay diseases the OP references. Pray tell?
No they don't. Straight people by definition do not have anal sex, that would denote the death of a "straight" identity and the birth of a bisexual identy. Logic and discipline are the only barriers that either save or destroy a rightful identity, with enough one can abondon venture, without, one succumbs.
"Logic." You clearly don't know what it means. By definition, a straight person is someone who is not attracted to the same sex. If a man sticks his penis in a woman's anus, it is not gay. If a woman puts a strap on dildo into a man's anus, she is not gay, & you have only circumstancial evidence that he is. Not only that, according to your "logic" that defines someone's sexual orientation by what type of intercourse they perform, everyone is gay. Watch & learn: Oral sex? Could be done by two men. It's gay. Vaginal intercouse? Could be done by two women with a strap on. It's gay. 69: Could be done by two men OR two women. It's gay. Unless you're trying to say that this ONLY counts for anal sex & heterosexual MEN, in which case you apparently think that a woman's ass resembles that of a man's & that lesbians do not exist. Either way, you clearly did not think this through.
And who made you the expert on what heterosexuals do in the privacy of their bedrooms. Some straight people DO have anal intercourse. Straight people are attracted to the opposite gender; bisexuals are attracted to both genders. Logic and discipline have nothing to do with it. Your odd words are truly daft.
An education, wherein I learned that anal sex is illegal and immoral, filthy and called sodomy from a biblical text. Now all you have too do is study the anatomy to determine if you actually had sex from the body cavity from which it pertained. Einstein.
Homo (same) sexual (duh). Even if it is "sodomy," "immoral," "evil," & whatever else, it is still not gay. Maybe logic isn't the flaw in your education. Maybe it's just the fact that your limited grasp of English makes you nearly incomprehensible. "Had sex from the body cavity from which it pertained"? Well, to be fair, Einstein failed English too. But I'm not holding my breath for the day you reconcile Newtonian & Quantum Physics!
Really? Einstein? You know, you think someone with that high an IQ would know how to use English properly. Why don't you provide the actual text from which this "quote" is taken? I won't hold my breath.
Wow, lady you really should learn more about sexuality. As I've said earlier, the bible has no bearing with me; I'm an Asatruar. Anal sex is not illegal where I am. It's not immoral and if you have good hygiene, it's not filthy. You're funny, Kat; are you available for small dinner parties? I need a stand-up act. З Новим Роком! Happy New Year in the words of my people.
The article clearly states, animals. Last time I checked, I didn't widdle a shiv to stick in my box or rub my genitals up against a tree. Not comprehending the fear and threat some of the Christians resonate about homosexuality. (Being raised in Scandinavian where these topics aren't approachable for discussion). God grants them so much grace but can't relieve that fear that grows into that putrid display of hate and a missed grammar class. Or five. I take issue with a garden of vaginas getting slandered because of a religious nutter who can't spell anus. Each of us came from one. Ueber respect vaginas. Sure, the article seems biased. So much research is. Educate yourself. Read, study and then discuss. Or, start flinging excrement onto a comment blog.
God is a woman, have you not heard? SHE might forgive your ignorance Glenda, but most of us are just going to laugh at you.
I love you comment, hun. I agree full-heartedly.
Dear Glenda, You wouldn't know what "the right thing" was if it walked up and bit you on the bum!. Your archaic ideas about sin are repulsive, and your use of the preposterous phrase "God's DNA" clearly demonstrates that you have no grasp of either metaphysics or science. God made some people heterosexual and some people homosexual, and some in different flavors too. Who do you think you are to contradict God's creation?
This homosexual animal infestation could be easily fixed with a M61A1, a helicopter and Sarah Palin (She has a little extra time this days). It might be hard to hit the gay worms, so maybe a few bombs as well.
Glenda you are absolutely right, I really liked your article, I think people are mixing up the humans with the animal kingdom, what a comparison to convince humans that being homosexual is normal, Adam and Steve from animal kingdom are open minded , whilst Adam and Eve are odd in our era I guess!!
Humans do everything (more or less) that animals do, we are born, we grow, we love, we hate, we die (not necessarily in that order). So then Glenda, do tell, why are chimpanzees so close to use genetically? Because some dude wrote a few thousand years ago that God created man specially, you take that as the end-all, no point for further discussion. Is corn different from a rose genetically? Only marginally, but that doesn't make either one better than the other. It sounds like you place humanity on too high a pedestal and lower all of God's other creations to mere scenery. I'm sure that God may think differently about all that S/He made. If you want to be that insular than maybe this wasn't the blog or article for you. I believe God gave us a mind to use, to grow, to explore life, not to close it off from the world and treat it like it was a rare diamond. While I would posit that some people's brain are like a diamond in that they are a hard, inert material that will not even grow a milimeter in diameter.
Glenda, you're so funny. I almost took you seriously until I realized your blatant stupidity was meant to be ironic. Adam and Steve!! So clever and original. I hope to meet you one day and hear the rest of your comedy material...you really should consider a career in show business!!
We are not part of the animal kingdom? so, which is our kingdom then... plants? rocks? A genetic piece of god!!! ???? LOOOOL OMFG!! Where is your proof?, please, do us all a favour and go get a life, or even better. I cannot believe such amount of ignorance can be contained in one single human.
"I cannot believe such amount of ignorance can be contained in one single human." As much as I respect that ALL religions have a right to believe what they want, there is more than one human with this amount of ignorance. There is a long line of never-ending popes with the same lack of knowledge. Also, remember Amadinajad(sp)? He said that Iran has no gay people there! LOL
What a jaded mindset you have! You know, even heterosexual couples have anal and oral sex. There are no specific diseases that attack homosexuals. Diseases are non-discriminatory and would just as well attack a hetero as well as a homosexual pair. The way people such as you with "holier than thou" attitudes parade around making comments such as these-- that actually turns away people from the LORD God. If you want these people to 'repent,' then you should sit down with them-- take them out to dinner and befriend them. Then by example (and not slapping them in the face with it as I'm sure you would!) they will see for themselves what is right and what is wrong. Making your prejudiced comment was wrong-- and also sinful. You are causing people to stumble who could come to our LORD. Be more open minded about things such as this, but do not give up your views. Please just be patient and kind and loving when dealing with people like this--or anyone you don't agree with. You find in time that the views of some churches are actually just the sentiments of older men who are unhappy or hateful. I myself belong to the LORD, and I want everyone to be able to talk about these issues. I don't min if you don't agree-- just be able to say "Hey, I don't quite agree here (or I will never agree), but why don't you explain this to me so I can understand where you're coming from." I don't mean this to be hateful if it seems such. I applaud you for your strong beliefs. If you wanna discuss this, you can email me at thaniphobia19@hotmail.com
Now here is someone with a true Christian philosophy. Bravo for you Kathryn! BTW, I was looking at your email address: was the word originally thanatophobia (fear of death)? I've never come across thaniphobia, just a curiosity...
Glenda, you are really funny. I am sorry but you are like my mum. Too emotive to ponder facts instead of feeling emotions.To other readers, I am not referring only to her rationale, but to that which is partially common to all persons that think more or less the same way. Human experience and knowledge are god, IMHO. What's defined in our society as right and wrong are nothing but paradigms. Social paradigms are constantly being redefined. If a different and new idea is formed by a group, its progression will be positive if gradually being accepted by other groups and individuals, whereas its progression will be negative if other groups and idividuals do not accept it. It becomes very interesting if we consider that every new fact is being processed by every human being that comes into contact with it. The sentence defined as bad or good that reaches majority can also be defined as a social paradigm. It is a different, but undoubtless, natural selection force in action. As ideas are recycled, new concepts born just as obsolete ideas go to grave and cease to be paradigms. Because we elaborate/construct/rearrange old concepts into new ones, our behavior has been through self-inflicted natural evolution/improvement. Human paradigms and behaviour, the latter which is based on up-to-date knowledge, have been under construction since the first atoms glued together into a molecule and shall continue.
Oh Glenda. Please tell me where you heard that heterosexuals' (note spelling) STDs are different from homosexuals'?
I'm waiting for these extra special gay diseases too! I didnt realize we were so special! I imagine God sees you bumming someone and strikes you down with a big pink thunderbolt.
There is a balance between bonding and procreation. There are also different bonds formed with different people. The human's brain and emotions are intensely complex. Procreation is for..well...procreating! Passing on genes and traits so we can continue to exist. I sure do hope Glenda doesn't have kids..... Anyways, about the gay men being afraid...of...women..? That's got "never talked to a gay person before in my life" written all over it. Have you ever personally ASKED a gay person if they chose to be gay? Apparently not. If a man didn't like you, would you EVER be that shallow that you pretend to NEVER like men? That's an insult to all gays, and frankly, and insult to knowledge. I love the "bond without being gross" part, especially. It highlights your intelligence and syntax, most definitely. "gross" and "dirty"' are just such...wonderful words! I suppose ignorance really is bliss, because instead of writing my pro-gay english paper, I have to deal with this. America continues to infuriate me.
Imaginary friends make us feel glad. Not gay, just happy. Hip hip, chin chin to scientific reason and whatever fills your blank.
Aww, cute. Look how brainwashed by the church you are. Do me a favor, and stay out of the scientific community if you can't be bothered to have any grasp of understanding for it. Go back to your church and Man In The Sky.
It is amazing how blind (some)so called Christains can dole out the judgment of others! I'm a Christian, but I appreciate the fact that the bible is missing a great deal of real truths while having too many untruths are placed in what we call the inspired word of God. Read Misquoted Jesus by experts who have deeply studied the translation of the "word" of God and how many things are placed in the bible that "never" should have been placed in the Bible. I would wish every damning, judging Christians about homosexuality try to make the choice to be anything other than heterosexual. Go ahead try just for the FUN of it!!!
Glenda, I am a heterosexual woman and I have anal sex with my partner on a regular basis. Now according to your 'logic' since I am heterosexual I am doing THE RIGHT THING, right? great, so the problem is solved. Bloody Christians! close your bible and get a life. Life is beautiful, love is beautiful, sex is beautiful and it does not matter who you experience all these things with as long as they make you happy and fulfilled!
Bloody Christians! close your bible and get a life. Life is beautiful, love is beautiful, sex is beautiful and it does not matter who you experience all these things with as long as they make you happy and fulfilled! See, they believe people are born evil and sinful, and life is bad. They can see how life is beautiful, IMHO.
Thank you, now I know that god made adam and eve and that godliness or something is genetic in humans being made in gods image and all. This is a discussion of facts presented in an article that show that animals of all kinds engage in homosexual behavior, suggests that humans being animals might find the same behavior unsurprising,and it supported by research, lots and lots of research. I appreciate that god has chosen you to enlighten me so please, cite the scientific studies showing god's existence, creationistic behavior in general and specifically making man "in gods image (a little narcissistic I think but I'm interested) and the intentional exclusion go humans from teh pattern the rest of the animal kingdom uses. Peer reviewed please but I will look at others. Any footnoting or citation format commonly used will be fine but I prefer APA. Otherwise, please don not post babble in response to logic and science. Even most of the naysayers are attempting to use logic not deus ex machina to save their arguments. I assume you've done your research or you wouldn't have posted?
Its always a laugh to see people who want to hold the bible up high and say the church and God is against homosexual behaviour. It makes me wonder how quickly people have forgotten that durning the crusades and other church military actions, homosexual behaviour was enchouraged amoung the troops and people who were left behind! The church supports any idea that furthers its own cause, and more recently, makes money. What ever happened to forgive and love thy neighbor? Your comment and distaste for homosexuals seems quite contradictory to those principals of the church!
If God had a problem with me being gay, then why did he create me? and after all these years he continues to bless me. He gave me the ability to fall in love and be in love with by someone of the same gender. And please be aware it's not all about having sex. It's knowing someone is waiting for me to get home, or worrying about me if I'm late. It's me being fearless when it comes to defending the one I love. Love is a blessing. No, we won't make children, but we have all this disposable income to help my sister raise her children after her sorry-ass heterosexual husband decided he didn't feel like being married anymore. No, I'm in good graces with God, because he continuously answers my prayers. And finally, you are not or ever will be Gods spokesperson.
Amen on that! I strongly agree with your words. I'm tired of the ignorant, the arrogant and just plain stupid reducing our relationships to only what we do in bed. I dont do that to heterosexuals and I wish they wouldn't do that to us. May your relationship last for 100 years! З Різдвом Христовим! Merry Christmas!
