The context of my definition applies to this whether or not you want to believe it.
And now the narwhal. They're not unnatural at all since they normally grow only the single horn. I would say that narwhals(and them growing one horn) are natural, don't put words in my mouth. Now if a narwhal deviated from this and say grew no horn or two horns, that would be unnatural.
Homosexuality is the same type of deviation from nature, it's not normal, it's an anomaly. And now you're going to say that anomalies are part of nature yada yada yada. And yes, anomalies do happen in nature, but that doesn't make them natural. Any deviation from naturality is unnatural.
Now I'm sure tons of people are going to think I'm homophobic because I think homosexuality is unnatural. Honestly I don't like gay people, but I don't hate them either, they're pretty much a neutral nothingness to me since they don't have any significant impact in my life. Just because homosexuality exists in nature, and has for a long time, doesn't mean it's natural.

And yes I said I was going to give this thread up, but when someone tries to put words in my mouth I'm going to respond.

1. having a relatively great height; of more than average stature: a tall woman; tall grass

4. extravagant; difficult to believe: a tall tale.

Inbreeding is also "natural," but that doesn't mean it should be an accepted thing. Having sex with thirty of your sisters while in the womb and being born dead is also "natural," but that's neither acceptable nor physically possible for humans!

What I've been wondering is... if the Bible says to put to death anyone who says anything against the word of God (A bit of an exaggeration -- I mean, instead, prophets and family you feel is turning you away from God), wearing clothing made of 2 kinds of cloth, and... well... I think we can all agree that many rules in Leviticus and Deuteronomy are ridiculous... We realize they are, and we do not practice them.

So...

Why do we pick something we interpret as "homosexuality is a sin" to follow? Why homosexuality?

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:


Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?


I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?


I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.


Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?


I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?


A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?


Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?


Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?


I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?


My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)


I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.



Your devoted fan,
Jim
