You seriously think that the only way people know that male/female is the natural order is because someone tells them so?

Re: Was it necessary to repeal DADT?

if all sin is sin and its all the same.. why would going to a queer wedding and trying to win them to the Lord be any different then visiting a pedophile and watching what he does when he does his sin.. you know we must show love and try to win the pedophile too.. we cant judge the different levels of sin. ohhh.. no answer.. delete the post. AFF hasn't changed much. if you don't or cant come up with an answer it must be an idiotic statement and I must have a mean legalistic spirit.

People are so afraid of offending people they have offended God.

Even in non-Christians cultures, homosexuality is not the norm.

See this was the point I was trying to make. No one can say what they would believe if they believed differently because everything they have learned made them who they are now and to try and flip that around you can't because you still would be using what you were taught.

Re: Was it necessary to repeal DADT?

Are y'all seriously going to try to argue that throughout history, Christian or non-Christian, mankind has not known that heterosexuality is the norm?? Homosexuality has always existed, but it's always been known as going against the norm.

I am not arguing that homosexuality is the norm anywhere. I am saying that the norms as we know them are framed by what we are taught. Period.
