I don't think you should advocate homosexuality based on the fact that it's natural. Oh my no, that's just moronic. There are other, more sane ways to advocate it.
If anyone trys to use the "unnatural" argument, you start talking about all of the other horific unnatural things such as glasses and toilet seats.

uh maybe because it fuels the homophobic stance 90% of religious bigots take?

How so, toilet seats and glasses are by definition unnatural. I was being sarcastic when I called them horrific, if you couldn't tell...

If people are not religious 'bigots' and hate gay people for their own reasons, I think that's alright.

If people are religious 'bigots' and following their fucking bible then It's annoying.

there is no god!

I do not think that it is OK to hate somebody for something that it is not of their choice and I think that there are no good arguments against homosexuality.

people have the right to believe whatever the like to believe right. as long as they dont force there beliefs on other people right. then in saying that the catholic church has the right to believe whatever they want. they do not force individuals to follow them. the individuals make a choice to follow them. if anything the people who attack the catholic church are the one who are 'forcing' their belief on the institution.

I don't think it's unreasonable that some people just feel uncomfortable around people that are different than themselves (hate is a strong word).

I don't have a problem with homosexuality at all, but, I can apply an analogy to disabled people - Yes, I'm going to hell, but I just don't feel comfortable around severely physically and/or mentally disabled people (not something small like paraplegic, but the really crippling ones - cerebral palsy when it's really bad, for example). Yes, I'm going to hell (not that there is a hell)

I guess it's a little different though 'cause gay people are like, the same as straight people but still :p.

Parents force their beliefs on children. Children 'brainwashed' to believe. How many young catholics are there these days that actively went out and joined a church without their parents and/or school. I'd say almost none.

catholic mass and catholic schools do not preach that homosexuals are bad. as for parents if they want to instill catholic values onto their children i believe that they should have the right to. once childs brain has fully developed they can make a judgment for themselves anyway.

considering you're still a catholic, this clearly isnt the case

no because it's not your right to post fucking shit over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

it's your right to shut the fuck up or come up with something half reasonable for people to work with.

it's not even funny anymore, if you're trolling it's not funny. if you're serious, you need your head checked.
