Forum Overview :: Biohazard: Code Veronica :: Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post

[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]I absolutely agree with this, and every family member I've managed (with some difficulty) to speak about the topic absolutely disagrees with it. Their holy text, laughable as it may be to you and I, clearly illustrate the consequences of homosexuality in the destruction of Sodom. There is, therefore, no means of persuading them that "there's nothing wrong with it" short of completely demolishing their entire ideology one brick at a time. If you're up to the challenge of rolling back the tide of religious fervor with the light of reason than you have my full support, but I don't think that's what you're proposing to do. Because we cannot override the totality of their worldview with an appeal to reason we are left to highlight the other, lesser, fallacies inherent in their position. The belief that homosexuality is universally a choice reflective of an a priori weak and corrupted character is one of those fallacies that we cannot let stand unchallenged. posted by Ryvar at 7:54 PM PST on May 3[/quote]
