Is Being Gay Wrong? - YouTube

brentan comments on Jun 25, 2019:

Faeces has a lot to do with it. Sex in the urinary tract is accepted because it also leads to the womb and I guess urine is thought of as less offensive than faeces. I don't think this is the basis for Biblical prohibition. The thrust of Biblical law had to do with how they perceived the purpose of a thing. And pleasure didn't come into it. You had sex to have children. How do we rationalise these things for our time? We've recognised the hygiene issues and advised on protection. We've decided that sex is about love and pleasure as well as procreation. I think the last frontier is the issue of faeces. 'I've emptied my bowels and laid out the towels' does nothing to reduce homophobia. So is it wrong? I see humans as human animals so I don't have highfalutin ideas about how we should behave. From an evolutionary perspective, we may well be doing excellently in our progress. From the traditional moral perspective, homosexuality is a fallen practice brought about by worship of idols (Romans Chapter 1).
