The bible isn't a reason to do or not do anything. What's so immoral about gay people?

sodomy is defined as any sexual act that is not missonary. so not only anal sex, but oral sex, woman-on-top sex, doggy-style sex, etc. plus, straight people have anal sex ALL THE TIME. discriminating against people who love each other and want to get married and calling it sodomy... you're a hypocrit unless you are only having missonary sex. the bible also says you're not allowed to eat pork, and that you can stone your neighbor.

Our definition of sodomy is completely different than the Bibles.

The bible is explaining anal sex and domination

Concerning Gay ‘s in the military?

Did we forget that there are laws concerning Sodomy?

Think back to the Whig’s and the issues of Ferm’s and Merm;s. The categories Herms (named after "true" hermaphrodites), Merms (named after male "pseudo hermaphrodites"), and Ferms (named after female "pseudo hermaphrodites").,

Gay’s have become political organizers lobbying physicians and politicians to change social treatment . More generally, the debate over our cultural conceptions of gender has escalated. In 1843 Levi Suydam, a 23-year-old resident of Salisbury, Connecticut, asked the town's board of selectmen to allow him to vote as a Whig in a hotly contested local election. The request raised a flurry of objections from the opposition party, for a reason that must be rare in the annals of American democracy: Only one vote decided the Whig’s election. The Whig’s won the election based on that one vote.

Even as strange as he was he still voted against Sodomy.

In the bible, Even God was against sodomy. Along with (later) Jesus Christ and the new (covenant) testament. The laws concerning sodomy delve into the ways society deals with domination. To be dominated means The act of domination

exercise of power in ruling; dominion; supremacy; authority, often done in an arbitrary or insolent way. From Latin dominātiō (“rule, dominion”), from dominor (“domineer; rule”). Spanning hundreds of years, discrimination, oppression, torture, brutality, and tyranny remain all too common features of the human condition. This nearly ubiquitous barbarism surfaces in cultures consistently across the globe. Why is oppression so hard to eliminate? What is our own human capacity to torture?

These are just a few of the questions that we tried to answer while doing research and surveying for our project on the essentiality and existence of dominance in our society.

Our group believes that peopleÕs morals are in direct correlation with their views on torture and dominance. In order to prove this hypothesis we surveyed over 150 people to see how moral or immoral they thought certain subjects were, ranging from littering to war crimes to committing adultery. We hope to prove that what individuals think is moral and immoral is a direct reflection of what society has deemed right and wrong. Along these same lines we also hope to prove that dominance (and the acts that go along with it, such as torture) are not only necessary in our society, but that human beings are very capable of assuming this role.

Introduction:

As animals, we all have the capacity to be either dominant or submissive. However, in human society, dominance and submission become much more complex than genetics. Genocide, prejudice, and torture do not exist in the animal world, nor do the motivations behind them. Although there are similarities, dominance in modern human society is no longer restricted to competition for resources/wealth/mates. Often times, it is the product of ideologies, values, rationalizations, and beliefs. These belief systems are built into the infrastructure of human societies (laws, rights, religion, socio-economic status, education, etc.), and are used by the people at the top to keep other people at the bottom in submission. Advances in technology and weaponry have also radically changed our ability to dominate and destroy. We believe that dominance is highly situational, which would mean that it could be both controlled and induced. We are interested in examining what in our biology allows us to be so malleable, so capable of becoming the oppressor or the oppressed. In conjunction with avenues of social control, this is a scary combination, which can have horrible implications. We will examine specific cases where the dynamics of the culture determines where one stands and who prevail. We will do a case-study analysis of honor killings in Pakistan and Nazi concentration camps and see how the maintenance of and motivations behind the dominance differs from that in the animal world. This research is interesting because the question of how humans are capable of committing unimaginable atrocities against one another remains unanswered. Does our increased capacity for intelligence bring with it an increased capacity to justifiably harm and manipulate others?

"Dominance is almost invisible in human affairs and yet arguably present everywhere." (Conniff, p. 1) It is very true that dominance, as well as submission, can be found in absolutely every situation, and is therefore, essential to our world. Although there has never been any scientific research done on the subject of dominance, scientists have come up with several qualifications for identifying the dominant animal within in social groups (including humans). These criteria come from and article by Richard Conniff, "I want to be boss? (The Psychology of Dominance)" in Discover magazine:

1. The one that can beat everybody up Ð but doesnÕt necessarily need to

2. Displays the most aggression

3. Who the others pay the most attention to

4. The one who gets first pass at resources

By using these principles to determine whether or not there is an existence of dominance scientists found that some form of social hierarchy is present amongst children as early as age three, and it continues to mature as individuals grow older. This helps to reinforce the hypothesis that social hierarchy is necessary for groups to function properly, and it helps to smooth social interactions. Although it seems that scientists think that once dominance is established the dominator becomes less aggressive, evidence shows that it is not so. Viktor E. Frankl, in The Politics of Pain, shares with us that authorities use torture as a way of control amongst a big group, one of the most extreme form of aggressiveness. By looking at the history of devaluing the Jews we can find a prime example of this societal predisposition towards group violence. A brief overview of the relations between the Nazis and the Jews is listed b

What a person/[eople do or do not do, is between them and God, not you, not Gov't, nobody but God. Equality under the law. NO discrimination.

Yeah and I hope you can find an immoral Judge or an immoral priest or minister or pastor who is willing to go against God and the morals he is supposed to be representing.

I pray God forgives you when you go to meet him.

It's not our job to teach other countries anything.

You think just because of some "law" there are now gays in the military? They've been there for more years than you've been around.

Nobody appointed you God. He/she is the ONLY one qualified to judge.

Who judging? I'm Just stating that History Repeats itself.and that we're not being a very good example to other counties we have attempted to teach them a better way to live.

I disagree if the issue is civil rights. Imagine if they had left the civil rights act up to the individual states? No way would that have passed in a majority of states, and African Americans would still be riding at the back of the bus.

Grow up and learn a few facts.
