The rules of natural selection do not change and I can assure you that the laws of God also do not. What rules of natural selection and laws of God men to chose to ignore varies with each individual.

I stated facts or obvious conclusions or rationale based upon natural law and natural selection. Then I stated a fundamental tenant of all major religions. One's soul is more important than one's corporal life. From that normal and deviant is clearly obvious to me.

What prejudice do you speak of. What science did I state that is false. I presented a clinical case based upon a perspective that life of ones line and family for generations requires following certain norms and that which will end a line, especially in that it stops natural procreation activity is deviant.

As to definitions, I followed the dictionary. Productivity or usefulness of a citizen having nothing to do with their sexual practices seems not to have any relevance to a definition of deviant in terms of their sexual activity.

And Christians do not throw out sinners, even those who have a need to bury there penis in another adults feces for sexual pleasure or practice other morally deviant behavior.

However taking reasonable careful and loving steps to protect innocent youth from being culturally infected by a disease that is the death of a family seems prudent to me.
To not protect ones children from such a danger seems deviant to me.

In many Jewish customs and law one finds a continuous association of rules or norms of conduct that assist in multi-generations family success. The family values and religious and moral tenant of Christian religions also support that perspective. I would guess Islam is similar but cannot speak to that.
