SetiAlpha6:
God is perfect in all His ways. I do not have the ability to judge Him. He is God, I am not. It is not appropriate for me to be His judge.
I would have to be able to see and perfectly weigh billions of aspects of reality simultaneously to even have a chance of judging God. I can’t do that, glad you can!
Your God allows innocent people to be brutally murdered, every day, despite having the power to prevent it. You're telling me that you have no thoughts on God's morality regarding that, are you? That's an extreme example, but there are plenty of others.
It is also not even appropriate for me to judge (condemn) my fellow man either. Only God has that ability and right! I can’t even judge my own heart accurately, how then could I ever condemn the heart of another?
So you're neutral about the actions of brutal murders (to use the same example)? You won't say that what they did was morally wrong?
He will correct all things perfectly in His time as He wishes.
We have to wait until the brutal murderers die before they can be judged? And in the meantime, as they go about the world killing innocent people ... what?
As for homosexuality...
Homosexuality is evil because it is a corruption of the obvious, clear design of our bodies.
Our bodies weren't designed. They evolved.
But, for the sake of argument, let's accept your premise of a Grand Design for the human body and see where that takes us.
Stick with sex, for starters. Do you think the mouth was designed for oral sex? Is oral sex a corruption of God's intended design? What about the penis? Was it designed to be masturbated? Is it a corruption of the design if you masturbate? Was the sexual act itself designed for procreation? Is it wrong to have sex for any other reason? Or does sex have a dual purpose? Is some pleasure allowed? If so, why is the pleasure of masturbation a no no? Or the pleasure that some get from anal sex?
Moving on... is it a corruption of God's design to wear a hat on your head? Was the head intended for hats? Are hats an affront to God?
What about gymnastics? It's not clear to me that the body was designed to take part in such perverted activities as balancing on beams or vaulting over objects, let alone swinging on evil parallel bars.
How do you know what the "obvious, clear" design of our bodies is? Where do you get your information on correct and incorrect usage of the body?
Men put their penis in other men’s excrement. And contract disease and then spread it to others. They do all of this for a few seconds of physical pleasure.
Now we get to your real objection. You find the idea of anal sex disgusting, and that's why you don't like it. I think all the religious clap trap is just a cover for your own distaste for the practice.
So, here's the thing: I understand that
you don't want to have anal sex. But why does that give you the right to tell other people what to do with their bodies? What harm are they doing to you? You won't catch any diseases, because you've already said you're not going to have anal sex. If it's a risk they want to take, who are you to stop them?
Homosexuality has killed millions and counting, including my own brother, Kevin, who needed rectum repair surgery and then died of AIDS.
Homosexuality has never killed anybody. AIDS is a disease and it is not only, or even primarily, contracted by homosexual people.
You may as well argue that since influenza has killed millions, then being susceptible to catching the flu makes you an evil person who is going against God's designs for your body.
Do you really expect me to call it good???
I put no expectations on you. I am merely exploring your somewhat twisted ideas about morality. It's probably not your fault; it's your religion. I don't think you're necessarily a bad person.
Can you bring my brother back to me???
I am sorry about your loss. In matters like this, I prefer to tread lightly, so I won't directly discuss your brother with you unless you want me to.
