    Warning - Topic Drift
    Message 1 is very specific on the direction of the topic.
    Why is homosexuality immoral?
    I understand that "the Bible says so". The Bible also says don't cut your beard.
    One can easily make an argument for why murder or theft or rape are immoral without having to rely on a "Bible says so" type statement.
    What would be the non-literalist argument for why homosexuality is immoral?
    This is not a general discussion of homosexuality. Discussion of same sex marriage and homosexual rights are really off topic.
    Please get back to the topic.
    Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.
    Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour timeout.
    Thank you Purple

    Thread Closed
    This thread has digressed into a general discussion on homosexuality.
    Since participants seem unable to return to the topic, I am closing this thread.
    Anyone wishing the thread to be reopened to discuss the original topic, please post a request in the "Thread Reopen Requests" thread listed below.
