\u201cHomosexuality is not the cause of a society\u2019s decline, but it is a symptom of it; it is the result of people making themselves the final authorities.\u201d \u2026 Lucy, this statement is so ridiculous that it is almost not worth refuting, and yet I realize that there are still some folks out there who believe such nonsense, and so gently-yet-firmly clarify it I will \u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*First<\/strong> of all, once again \u2013 as I have stated over & over & over & over again in this very conversation \u2013 there is nothing wrong with homosexuality itself, and nowhere in the entire Bible<\/em><\/strong> will you find a single verse<\/em> that says otherwise \u2026 You yourself admitted this was so (twice in this very thread \u2013 once on the afternoon of June 16th<\/sup> and then again the day following \u2013 see pages 118 & 122 herein), and you were quite correct to do so.\u00a0 As such, in the future, please refrain making this blatant misstatement of Scripture \u2026 Thank you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*Second<\/strong>ly, homosexuality cannot be a symptom of a \u201cdeclining society\u201d, if for no other reason than homosexuality has been prevalent in human societies since the dawn of time (with ancient copies of \u201cThe Epic of Gilgamesh\u201d recording the existence of open homosexual relationships as far as back 2100 B.C.) \u2026 Homosexuality has endured through many societies that have risen (and it had nothing to do with their rising), and it has endured through many societies that have fallen (and it had nothing to do with their falling).\u00a0 Indeed, modern-day science is finally beginning to support that this is simply an innate fact about human populations \u2013 namely, that a sizeable percentage of humanity always has been (and always will be) born homosexual (see the dozen+ studies evidencing the same cited on pages 78-80 herein).\u00a0 As such, we are still left to wonder:\u00a0 How can a just & loving God punish any<\/em><\/strong> of His children for living the very way He made them to live & love in the first place?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*Third<\/strong>ly, homosexuality is prevalent not only in humans, but also in over 1500<\/strong> other species of animals that God supposedly created that way \u2026 Seeing as how animals puportedly do not have the capacity to \u201csin\u201d in the manner required to \u201cchoose to be gay\u201d, how can we explain this scientific fact?\u00a0 \u00a0Well, one way we can explain it is by setting aside our uncomfortability & our fear and finally admitting that homosexuality is simply a normal and natural occurrence in 5-10% of the human population as well.<\/p>\n
