Whether or not it’s “good” or “right” to be gay is a topic that has probably been debated by everyone in America over the age of thirteen at some point in their life. Christians, like myself, are always quick to say, “No, it’s not right, it’s very wrong, gay marriage shouldn’t be legalized, people shouldn’t be gay, end of story.” Everyone else is usually quick to say, “That’s hateful! You hate gay people!”
Well, I could easily pull out a few Bible verses about homosexuality and say, “See, it’s wrong!” (If you don’t believe me, read Romans 1.) But most people who support gay rights don’t even believe in the Bible, so what good would that do? Instead, I’m just going to use simple logic and reasoning.
According to gay rights “logic,” gay people can’t help the fact that they’re attracted to the same sex, and therefore should be allowed to be in a relationship or marriage with someone of the same sex and no one should have a problem with it. Let’s apply this “logic” to some other situations.
How many of you have ever seen a married man or woman who you thought was attractive? We probably all have. Should it be acceptable and encouraged to pursue relationships with people who are already married, just because they’re attractive? And should we be allowed to marry them? I mean, polygamy is totally acceptable, right? According to gay rights “logic,” yes. According to truth and common sense, no.
What about pedophiles? Should we accept and defend their lifestyle, too? Should adults be allowed to marry children because some adults are attracted to children? Those people probably don’t wake up in the morning and choose to be pedophiles, so should we all jump in and support that lifestyle? Gay rights “logic” says yes. I bet everyone else says no.
Some people enjoy torturing and killing other people. They can’t help the fact that they’re attracted to that. Should we accept sadism as a social norm and allow people to beat and kill their wives, husbands, friends, and random strangers because that’s what they’re into? Gay rights “logic” says if that’s what they’re into, they can’t help it, and they should be free to do whatever makes them happy.
Now you might be saying, “That’s stupid! Torture and murder is sick and disgusting, and people who enjoy it are sick and disgusting!” Well, homosexuality wasn’t always accepted by society. This video from the 1950s describes homosexuality as a sickness of the mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q723nhwu4C4. If society can go from, “Homosexuality is a dangerous disease,” to, “Homosexuality is normal and good,” then how is that different from eventually accepting sadism as a normal lifestyle that should be accepted and even defended?
The reason so many people have fallen into the lie that homosexuality is good is because 1) Most of America no longer understands discipline... they only understand “I want this, so I’m going to have it”; 2) A large part of America wants so badly to be “new” and “exciting” and “smarter than the last generation” by going against “boring” and “stuffy” and “closed-mined” traditional values like the ones their parents failed to teach them and the ones found in the Bible; 3) Over the years, people have stopped reading the Bible, praying, or even believing in God because they think they’re good enough and don’t need Him, therefore following in the footsteps of Lucifer, AKA Satan, and unknowingly opening their hearts and minds to whatever lies he decides to put in there. And who knows? Maybe his next move will be to convince his followers that sadism is cool. Watch out, America.
Applying "gay logic" as you called it to other situations really doesn't even work. Different situations call for different "rules" I guess you could say. In the case of gay relationships, who is it hurting? Polygamy in some places is accepted, just not everywhere. And being with/marrying someone that's already married is different from gay relationships. Of course there are instances where some relationships are not acceptable, such as an adult with a child. The reasons for that are different than the reasons people are against gay relationships/marriage, though. In the case of the adult/child relationship, or the relationship with a married person, it isn't morally right because it is detrimental to at least once person involved. I am assuming the reason you are against gay relationships is because the Bible tells you that you should be. That is all well and good, but why should other people not be allowed to be with those they love, simply because other people believe it's wrong on a religious level? If it is hurting another person, physically or psychologically, then the relationship is wrong, but the average gay relationship is not hurting anyone. Also, the majority of pedophiles are pedophiles because someone did something to them as children. That is almost always a psychological issue, not a personal preference. And again, pedophilia is detrimental to the child involved, obviously. Those who torture and kill others is not even slightly related to homosexuality. Making the connection between homosexuality being accepted and abuse being accepted are two totally different things. Of course as time goes on more things are going to be accepted, that doesn't mean that everything will be. Slavery used to be acceptable too, does that mean that that should still be acceptable? Of course not. One thing does not have anything to do with the other. I fail to see how accepting who you are (assuming it is something that is not hurting anyone else) is accepting Satan or being undisciplined. I also don't understand why acceptance and change is such a bad thing to you. Women being able to vote, slavery being abolished, and more awareness to mental health issues are just a few examples of how change and open-mindedness is a good thing. I don't think it has anything to do with people rebelling against traditional values, but more with people evolving as we learn more. Which is a GOOD thing. Also, just because someone does not believe in the Bible or God does not mean that they are going to follow Satan. There are millions of very good people out there who are not religious. I'd much rather be around people who are morally good people and do the right thing, than those who are "good Christians" and do the right thing to get into Heaven and then preach to others about how they should believe in the same just to get to Heaven.
