[Vision2020] No victims??

[Donovan Arnold]

Tony,
  
  I wish to challenge some of your (mis)conceptions of homosexuals here;
  
  You state, "Have you not   heard of the AIDS epidemic?" 
  
  1) How are two HIV- monogamously coupled homosexuals more at risk to contract AIDS than a heterosexually married couple?
  
  "Surely you are aware of the inherent risks of   anal "sex"?"
  
  2)  Heterosexual couples also practice anal intercourse; while not all  homosexuals couples do. Shouldn't your complaint be about the practice  of anal intercourse, not the gender or sexual orientation of the  individuals practicing it?
  
 3) If unmarried gay men are the  principle cause of the spread of AIDS and HIV in our country, should we  not encourage gays to be monogamously coupled, shouldn't you be for gay  marriage, not against it?
  
  "Choosing not to enable the self   destructive"
  
4)  So you are against the legalization of all things that could be  destructive or dangerous including, fast food, non-helmet use,  abolishing alcohol, gambling, tobacco, pornography, and physical  contact sports?
  
  Best,
  
  _DJA

  Were  you serious when you said that the practice of homosexuality does not  result in anyone being victimized?  Have you not heard of the AIDS  epidemic?  Surely you are aware of the inherent risks of anal  "sex"?
   
  The  human body was obviously NOT DESIGNED to be employed in this  manner.  Therefore, when one engages in such activities, one  deliberately risks his life and the life of his "partner".   If our society genuinely cared for the welfare of homosexuals, it would  strongly advise them to discontinue such unnatural and unhealthy  behaviors, just as it advises against the sharing of needles.
   
  Choosing not to enable the self   destructive,    --Tony

        rvcowboy,

There  are clearly victims involved in situations of adultery, rape, cheating,  and stealing.  Not so with homosexuality.  Are you really  unable to see the difference between consenual adult activity and  scenarios of someone viciously hurting someone else?

I     agree with you that Jesus' overwhelming 
message is that we love one     another.  I just don't believe that loving one another justifies our     
sins.  Please understand, I don't rate the sin of homosexuality     any differently than adultrey, 
rape, cheating, stealing, or any other     sin.
