  • Mutations are natural.
  • Homosexuality may or may not be a mutation. It could also be reaction to hormone levels in utero, or any number of other causes. It could be a collection of recessive genes working together.
  • It could help reproduction. Not for the person, but for their close genetic relatives.
    • The same gene(s) that cause homosexuality could help reproduction when expressed differently for heterosexuals.
    • In pre-history, gay members may have provided assistance to their family clans that helped propagate the family DNA.

Yup. It's a safety valve of some kind, I think. Probably why it's to be found so extensively in nature.

You mean it's the queer's fault Mom made me eat the damn Brussel sprouts, saying there was children starving in Asia/Africa/India?

Christianity vs Islam? Didn't they release a whirling dervish remix of 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot?'

I guess that renders "unnatural" a bit useless as a derogatory term.

I suppose the combination of the sad face, the "too bad" and the well placed period threw me.

RK you're an Atheist right? So does the fact that you personally don't believe in God mean that you are judging the rest of us that do?

Not at all. I could care less what you believe in. I only judge people's actions...like when they judge other's for something that is none of their damn business.
Nice dodge on the abominations btw.

right, you could care less what I believe in, BUT you personally believe that what I believe in is wrong, can you really not see the parallel in my argument? and to everybody: who did I judge? secondly, what abomination thing am I dodging? I've answered everything you've asked me to the best of my abilities.

Homosexuality is called an abomination in the Bible, as is cutting one's beard or getting a tattoo.

Happy I'm Muslim, I honestly didn't know which word the Bible used.
