..........and if you can get aroused by a man you are either bi or homosexual. i presume its bi as there is a mrs carrobie (unless you are living a lie).

im sure it is considering all the directions you can swing in. especially if who or what you sleep with is just a matter of deciding.
Originally posted by stellspalfiewhat i actually said was that anyone as a free moral agent can engage in any kind of sexual act, are you disputing that? on what basis are you disputing it? If you are not disputing it then your words make no sense and you seem intent to believe nothing but your own propaganda.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieit would seem pretty obvious to most people. a free moral agent is restricted by biological make-up. i for example (unlike your good self) would be unable to get an erection if i attempted to have sex with a man.

Originally posted by stellspalfieSo your biological make up is preventing you from engaging in all kinds of sexual acts. Is that really what you are saying?

It is in fact demonstrably false. Prisoners who are incarcerated and who may have been heterosexual their entire life may be coerced to engage in homosexual acts not by some biological causation but by mere expediency.
Why does their biological make-up not prevent them from doing so, because predisposition is not the same as causation and your vain appeal to genetics, the typical materialistic dogma is both philosophically and scientifically unsound.
Further to that if genetics was such a determining factor as you have erroneously assumed then humans could not be said to possess free will but to be at the whim of their genetic make up, is that really what you are saying?
When will the next criminal claim that he was coerced to rape someone because of his genetics, according to your theory, he should be able to make a viable defence, if its valid. Is that really the case? is it?
Originally posted by RJHindsAn acquired taste suggest that snot eaters didn't initially like it, but through group pressure and/or out of necessity forced themselves, until they eventually learned to like it. I'm sure that's not the case, anywhere in the world.
Some people seem to enjoy eating their boogers. Others, not so much. It may be an acquired taste. Who knows?

Originally posted by stellspalfieI am quite sure if two dandy shandy drinking ballet dancers like you and divesgeester snuggled up to each other in a cosy prison cell it wouldn't be too long before you forgot your genetic predisposition and became amorous towards each other despite your vain protestations to the contrary, after all, unlike me, you have no moral imperative not to.

This is what I hate most about some atheists in this forum.
They tend to lump all theists together in one big pile, all having the same beliefs, same preferences, same knowledge, same everything.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

yes.

i work in a prison environment. i can tell you, the straight guys dont have sex men due to the lack of women. there are some men who profess to be heterosexual but engage in homosexual activity (im simplify things a little) but a quick look in their files usually tells a different story.
using your prison 'logic'. if you were to take random heterosexual men and lock them up with children do you think 'mere expediency' would turn them to paedophilia?
When will the next criminal claim that he was coerced to rape someone because of his genetic
what??? genetics are not a legal excuse. if a guy rapes, then he has committed a crime regardless if its caused by genetics.
i work with several guys who commit extremely violent acts due to issues with the development of their amygdala's. they still receive prison sentences regardless if its a genetic issue.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieExactly. Clearly, unless you live in a very weird culture, this is not the case with snot eating. So, as someone who doesn't enjoy named practise, I am apparently denying the purpose of my design, by sonship's logic. Finger fits nose, snot is rich in proteins, proteins are required for survival, hence, I was designed to eat snot, and yet I have no desire to do so. Same thing with gay people. They don't want to eat sn... have sex with the opposite sex, because they're not attracted to the opposite sex, purposeful design or not. How hard can this be?

Not saying there's anything wrong with snot eaters either, of course. I may have taken this analogy just a wee bit far now. 😕
Originally posted by C HessSonships basis was not made on a preference or a desire but in the physiology of the human body which is rather damning evidence for it can be empirically demonstrated that certain orifices are not suited to sexual intercourse. What this means is that certain sexual practices are contrary to nature. in fact I think the point that he was making was that desire or preference has no bearing on this, it is what it is, a phenomena of nature.
