Losing your religion

that's what i thought. so what's this about jews not marrying outside their race? is that true eric?

 

Yep. Part of the purpose for the Jewish race was to be an example of God's purity to the world.

 

Don't matter, if both your parents were straight according to genetics and the theory I just described, you would be straight. Simple. Your parents would have to have 2 copies of the heterosexual gene to not be straight. not one copy, both. Thefore, you could only be heterosexual as well. Unless of course, it's not genetic, which is the point I am trying to get across.

 

OK Mr Wizard... Don't you have some electron machine to play with or something?

 

Well if everyone got their heads out of their asses, then it wouldn't be "hard" for those children.

 

genetics can not be explained that easy with dominant and recessive genes. Explain eye color and hair color and the variations of both.

And it's been proven that the hypothalmus (too tired to check the spelling on that one), which is the part of the brain that controls things such as body temp, is different sizes in straight men and gay men. That doesn't prove anything, but it does provide strong evidence that maybe there is something that we don't know or has not been discovered yet that would explain homosexuality.

Just because something has not been discovered (or proven yet) does not mean it doesn't exist.

 

Regarding whether homosexuality is "genetic" or not: I don't know, & it doesn't matter. It's clear that people who are homosexual are from earliest childhood. They are "made" that way, & it's not a choice. To deny them the simple human right to live their lives openly without discrimination is criminal and cruel.

Regarding religious objections to interracial dating & marriage: There ARE people who sincerely believe that while all races are equal, they should not mix (as in having children together). I've known people who honestly think that God intended the races to remain "pure," and that there is some spiritual or social or physical detriment to mixing. But most people who object are simply racist, whether they admit it or not. The thing is, there is really no such thing as a "pure" race. There are gradations & types, but no particular race can be exactly defined in any way that completely distinguishes it from any other.

 

something being genetic does not mean it's a single gene trait. very few characteristics are actually dependent upon a single gene (relatively speaking). handed-ness isn't one of them. it's unreasonable to expect homosexuality to be a single gene trait.

 

What are the odds of that?

 

isn't this a parrable about good and evil?



Genesis 6


1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

and wouldn't these verses answer to inter-racial marrages (at least jews)?
