I believe God has revealed, that certain forms of sexual behavior are immoral. OK. My thinking is that sexual activity between parties of the same sex is amoral and becomes immoral only when there is some other ethical lapse such as one party using the other, cheating on a third party, inflicting bodily injury, etc. You're telling me that the sexual activity itself is immoral absent any ethical lapses because your deity revealed so 2000 years ago. I think you also implied that being a homosexual is not immoral as long as one abstains from sexual activity. I hope I've understood you correctly. Let me ask you this? What would you have society do about these ethically practicing homosexuals? Karen

<objective moral standards exist> Greg, where is the demonstration of the correctness of the above claim. We haven't gotten out of first principles, yet you've jumped ahead assuming these objective moral standards exist, and then further assume they apply to sexuality. But I'll let that go for now, and give you something very concrete to answer: How is the sexuality of people fundamentally different from the sexuality of animals? Hint: it has to be something measurable.
