Re: Moral codes
Written moral codes have no more value than written manuals for chariot repair.
So, you're telling me they have some value?

I think we should quantify homosexuality into lust.
Quantify means to give a quantity to, like say...5 Quantify into lust really is a meaningless statement. Did you mean qualify? Or are you just trying to sound smart? (no offense)
I suspect that homosexuals really are not born "gay." Before you jump all over me, I didn't understand what sex was until I was around 10 years old, much less what being gay meant.
Being born gay means there is a genetic component. You don't have to understand what sex is to have that component.
My point to this is: Lust must be the deciding factor in homosexuality.
I think lust is a big part of a lot of homosexuality (and heterosexuality) but I don't find it impossible for a genuine loving homosexual relationship to exist. You seem to think it is impossible. Why is that?
However, if two men "love" each other, they probably don't want to have sexual contact.
How do you know?
Sexual interaction stems from the natural desire to procreate, not to pleasure oneself or a partner.
Wow, not for me. Sex feels good and I don't want to procreate at this point in my life. My desire for sex stems from the pleasure, and the displeasure of getting "backed up", if you know what I mean.
You're pretty much just wrong in that statement.
How can I substantiate this claim? I am not sure I can
Which you seem to realize.
however I have heard that the strong natural desire to have sex is for the purpose of procreation and is associated chemically in the brain.
That, and it feels good.
I place the immorality of homosexuality on the same level as fornication.
But I don't have a non-biblical rational for the immorality of fornication nor homosexuality, which is what the topic of this thread is, so I don't have much to say on topic.

I meant what I said, just because m-w.com isn't up on slang, doesn't mean I will stop using this word in my own context.
Well, you can use words however you want, but if nobody understands what you're saying then its only your own fault.
Slang ...my ass. You were trying to sound smart. How old are you?
I meant to make it into a smaller quantity.
A quantity is a number...
If I half the quantity of homosexuality (and not the number of homosexuals), how much or how many do I have left?
I think lust is a big part of a lot of homosexuality (and heterosexuality) but I don't find it impossible for a genuine loving homosexual relationship to exist. You seem to think it is impossible. Why is that?
Did I say that? I seem to remember my conclusion...
Then I guess you just conflated some meanings for "love". I mean, why the need for the quotes, right?
But whatever, I don't care.
However, I did not mean to limit it.
I misunderstood.
So what is your opinion, scientific or not, on the fundamental function of human desire pertaining to sex?
That procreation has nothing to do with the desire.
Presumably, early man didn't even know that pregnancy was a result of sex. Their desire couldn't have stemmed from the want to procreate.
Having sex is instinctual.
So, what is your opinion relating to the topic? Do you think there is any non-biblical rationale for the immorality of homosexuality?
