The only reason this is true is because previously, when society was more conservative, a young man who wanted to fuck men or be a woman was told to "overcome" this desire. So he would repress his own identity because that was seen as "normal". We, as a society, was nowhere near as tolerant or...

Yes, it's a shame that some people "conform" to the idea that we should tolerate people who are different to what we personally perceive as "moral", "natural" or "right".

Why is that? And why can't (or shouldn't) we aim to change that? Our cultural heritage stems from Christian values, so of course there is an inherent contempt for homosexuality. I don't understand why a particular denomination of humanity gets the right to decide what is the "natural" human...

No one is born with a sexual identity. Your sexuality does not develop until after puberty. That is why homosexual individuals often describe themselves as "confused", because societal pressure (which they have been exposed to for 13 or so years of their life) to be straight conflicts with their...

There have been many studies. If you are actually interested in the subject a quick google search will provide you with the information you need. Otherwise it seems more likely you just want to attack people who don't follow what you consider to be "normal". But again, why do you care? If...

You could say the same about homosexuality. Unfortunately there was a distinct lack of societal interest, tolerance, knowledge or research done on the subject. So there's no way to tell. In terms of the actual technology, that is new. But it is merely a catalyst for people to find their true...

There's the cynic...and then there's the dick. What do you care if or why people change their sex, or want to do it?

Fair enough, that's what I was talking about.

You have your views. But remember that this in no way makes you entitled to tell others what they should do, or refrain from doing.

...the phantom menace?

It's a person's choice about their life. I don't have a problem with it - and even if I did, it's not my place to tell them they shouldn't do it, if they don't want to.

Already been done. And it sucked

" 'But evolution is only a theory!' Which is right, it is a theory, and I think it's good that they say that, isn't it? It really gives you hope that, you know, they might feel the same way about the theory of...gravity... ... ...and they might just float the fuck away." (Paraphrased quote from...

*The followers and sympathisers of Christian belief. You are right though, progress is relative. Personally I think Christian beliefs halt any possibility of equality or fair treatment of people, liberty and freedom, and most of all it discourages independent thought, something I personally see...

Does society require religious instruction to invent these commandments? Isn't common sense equally adequate sources for such morals? I personally don't believe in objective morality, and while those commandments sound good, in certain cases they may not be quite so appealing. But what about...

If this film were being remade, who would you have direct/write/produce it? I would get David Fincher or Chris Nolan to direct.

Hilarious. Love Joss Whedon, and Robert is fantastic.

So much of this is just wrong. Are we such bigots? I don't think we're bigoted any more than Christians are - bigotry is limited to the individual, not their theological beliefs. And what you said about The Amazing Atheist is just plain factually wrong. I have seen most of his videos, and I know...

By far not significant enough. Christianity slows down societal progress, because it aims to keep society behaving a certain way to "please god"

The point is that you have little knowledge on how things work because of the sheltered nature of your upbringing. Eh...not exactly what I was saying. I didn't say I didn't want sex, but if my girlfriend didn't want sex, I would be just as happy as if she did. There's more to a relationship than...
