MegaTherion777 My Hollow lotusvoid MegaTherion777 My Hollow MegaTherion777 and just like all christians really, truly, deeply love their fellow man. We are supposed to, doesn't mean we do. It takes practice. LOTS of practice. I'm still extremely resentful for my mom's old friend's family. They treated her and I like crap. Utter CRAP. I'm working on forgiving them, but it isn't easy. It takes prayer and practice. actually, that was an indirect jab at the gay-hating, racist bible belt christians around me who claim to love everybody and then preach nothing but hate to others. not directed at christians who actually make an attempt to follow the teachings of christ, rather than bend said teachings into hatred Are you against Same sex relationships hollow? I see where this is going, but I will answer your question. Do I think homosexuality is immoral? Yes I do. Do I think it goes against how God designed us? Yes, I do. Do I hate them? Of course not. Ever hear of the saying love the sinner, hate the sin? I don't agree with that aspect of their lives, but I don't hate them as people. I have had friends who are gay and I don't hate them. I love them. that's what i've always though, but so many of these bible-belt assholes just HATE gays, period. although i do have two questions for you. do animals have free will? if they do not, and homosexuality goes against god, then why is homosexuality visible in animals as well as humans? i have never gotten a clear answer on this, and i'm curious to know how it fits with the christian viewpoint. In general, in the animal kingdom the majority of animals mate in pairs - male and female- to produce offspring. Instances of any instances of any sort of behavior between males and females is rare. However I do believe that there's a distinct difference between human beings and the rest of the animal kingdom. That we are moral creatures who follow God's moral law as set forth in His scripture. Though I don't think I answred your question there..it be late, I R tired. Is this what you are getting at: Basically from the Christian perspective, there is sin in this world, and it perverted things. Basically the world is not as it should be, imperfect. So why do some animals show signs of homosexuality or why even do they eat people (I have heard some interesting topics on this)?? Because this worl is JACKED up.

Isn't there a species of lizards that's all female? Basically they're able to stimulate each other in order to have babies, despite both being female.

As for the soul thing, That in and of itself is a hawt mess. Debates and debates and debate on whether animals have souls or not. I know what I believe personally and I know what others believe. It's really a moot point. Whether animals have souls or they do not dpoesn't change the fact that sin/evil whatever you want to call it is messing with the wrold. Whether you be an atheist or theist, you have to admit there is some seriously jacked up stuff happening on this earth.

So God not preventing it is NOT malevolent, but is allowing us to have free will, and what he does is works through it to make positive differences. I've yet to see an act of evil that didn't have something good come out of it. Other people bring up natural disasters, like Katrina, but they don't realize how much that kinda brought our country together, and how many people go on mission trips over there and such. It really brought out the best in a lot of people. So basically, evil IS going to happen, regardless of if they have souls. Personally I believe they have free will, but that does not necessarily mean they have a soul. A computer, essentially, has free will. You can do with it what you want within its capabilities, but it doesn't have consciousness. But it is not limited by God or anything besides its physical capacities.
