I'm not saying I don't believe homosexuality exists, I'm just saying I don't believe in the concept of it. Kind of like how I believe Scientology exists, but I don't believe in what it stands for.

Not respecting something and disrespecting something are not related in any way.

One can be neutral, just not respecting, having no opinion at all about something without actively disrespecting it.
Disrespect is actively feeling negatively toward something... two very different things.
How can you not understand that?

BigV · 08-09-2007, 01:18 AM

"not related in any way"? Seriously? or was that SATIRE?

Come on.

"I do not respect you."

"I disrespect you."

Not related in any way? I don't think so. You may. But you won't convince me. Sorry.

BigV · 08-09-2007, 01:20 AM

Furthermore, neutrality is a form of respect. It shows room in your own psyche that you provide for an idea that you don't actively endorse or condemn.

Can you read?
Try again, perhaps slow down this time.

I do not respect the idea if it does not make sense, still respect the person.

It is easy.

But what if the very idea is what makes the person who they are ie. religion.

So rk, what you're saying is that there is a difference between "lack of repect" and "disrespect"?

DanaC · 08-09-2007, 12:42 PM

I don't think homosexuality stands for anything.....it just is..

Happy Monkey · 08-09-2007, 12:57 PM

Yeah, I realize this is a real tangent, but I just don't know what there is about homosexuality that can be believed in or not.

As far as I can tell, the "concept of" homosexuality is that some people fall in love and/or are attracted to members of the same sex. What's not to believe there?

Rexmons · 08-09-2007, 01:09 PM

maybe i was being a little vague, I believe homosexuality exists, however i personally do not agree with it. Kind of like someone saying "I don't believe in hitting my children". Does that kind of make sense?

What is wrong with it? Specifically.

Personally I believe it's both unnatural and unholy.
