Comparing homosexual behavior between two consenting adults to either incest or bigamy is ludicrous.
I'm not going to waste my typing on it.
But I hope you can admit that a few decades ago, intolerant, conservative bigots like you were using nearly identical arguments about racially-mixed marriages.
And you know what?
A few decades from now, people are going to be looking back at militantly homophobic people like you with the same disdain as most civilized people today look back on those racists.
You are correct. Typing about it would be a waste of time because you could provide nothing that would show a substantial difference between incest and homosexuality (or bigamy). Or else you would start typing since I have never seen you back down from an argument of this nature. I guess that is your covert way of conceding this discussion.
Immorality is immorality regardless of how it is packaged.
And there has never been a Biblical argument against racially mixed marriages (for the sake of race alone) while the Bible is clear about the impropriety of homosexuality.
Why is it that you feel the need to become judgmental and label as "homophobic" those who do not support homosexuality? Are we all to call you and reader "familialsexophobic" (or something like that) because you are so prudish and bigoted as to disapprove of a loving, sexual relationship between a brother and sister or a mother and son?
Pardon me while I gag after typing that, but there likely are those sexual deviants who would like to put a label on you for your beliefs that disparage them.
Surely you should be able to move forward and get in tune with the times if that is what it takes to be liberal and enlightened!!! Why stumble at incest if you have no difficulty with homosexuality? Who are you to judge the feelings or actions of someone else?
You see, badaxemoo, I don't have to decide what sexual behavior is right or wrong because I accept that the Bible has set the standard for me. That would be the same Bible that tells me that Jesus loved everyone equally regardless of who they were or what their sin was, but he did not leave them in their sin. He forgives all of those who accept it and then gives them the power to move on into a life that he intended for them.
And when I look at the enormity of my own sin and helplessness to do anything about it (outside of clinging to Jesus' offer of salvation) I see that I am no better than the homosexual, murderer, thief or wife beater because God views all sin as the one and same thing. None of us stands a chance outside of Jesus!!
And I don't think anyone would call Jesus or his father homophobic, so be careful with your labels.
