I thought it was Robin.
Explain. How is evidence of societal understanding of the concept of God, not considered evidence when refering to society's understanding of the concept of God?
I'll give you another example...
Batman has a cape. Evidence Batman has a cape comes from the first comic book released where he is depicted as having a cape. Therefore when depicting or referring to Batman, one should consistently depict him in a cape. Evidence here is strictly societal...i.e. evidence of perception.
How am I a hypocrite. Do I need a snazzy graphic or picture book to help you with this concept?
Sorry, I updated my previous post:
"If you think sexual preference, arousal, or fetishes are not choices then here is a list of people genetically "born that way":
Obeseophiles (Chubby Chasers)
Necrophiles (dead people)
Paedophiles (Children)
Zoophiles (Animals)
Agoraphiles (Outdoor spaces)
Cacophiles (Ugly People)
Catagelophiles (Humiliation)
Coprophiles / Scatophiles (Feces)
Cyprinophiles (Prostitutes)
Gerontophiles (Elderly People)
Hemophiles (Blood)
Hypsophiles (Tall people)
Iconophiles / Pornophiles (Porn Addicts)
Mastigophiles (Punishment)
Merinthophiles (Bondage)
Paraphiles (Perverts)
Peladophiles (Bald People)
Proctophiles (Anal)
Urophiles (Urination)
Yep.....must be born that way! Not anyone's choice or fault. Queue Lady Gaga / diva house anthem."
To respond to...
"If all it took were simple "encouragement", then I'm sure most of us homosexuals would have followed society's expectations for us to lead a heterosexual lifestyle."
Explain the above list. People often love to be "different" but really just in a "different" tribe.
People can be convinced of anything! Ask the Nazis!
Sexual arousal and preference are choices to you.....you should see a someone about your mental issues.
...
when do you get alarmed? when your 7 year old comes home and tells you its okay to be trans sexual?
...
not sure what you mean here?
are you saying some one that likes chubby woman or some one that likes feet etc. at some point did these people not decide that this is their preference?
if not.. lets say what you and others are saying is true. lets say that you ate born that way.
so then is it only applicable to sex and being homosexual... what about thieves, rapist...OR i like hamburgers you like pizza i like harleys you like hondas...
are we all born with these decidions and choices or did we not make decisions in our lives to choose these. are we all born programed as to what we are going to like and dislike?
why cant a bank robber say i was born this way i had no choice in court a court of law?
why when a criminal from the ghetto says, i was born into this life of crime.. everyone laughs?
You mean growing up to be tolerant of others? ...OH THE HORROR!
So how did you pick your preferences? Do you wait for a magazine to release their top 10 most beautiful people in the world and think "this woman is apparently the most beautiful in the world at this point.....I choose to be attracted to her!"
I usually don't like to get into my opinion on this topic, steps on too many toes.
I dont believe sexual preference is a choice, and I don't believe your born that way either.
I believe it is developed. This is hard for many to accept because people don't want you telling them they made their child gay....BUT its far more complicated than that, no one fully understands it.
To me, the only thing separating any sexual preferences is consent. If you hurting anyone or anything else you have no right to do what your doing....if not go right a head I don't give a ****.
YES i did look at magazines and said dam she is sexy as hell i want to be attracted her!!
am i the only one? you re tellin me you didnt?
i'm completely fine teaching tolerance for other people's ..."differences" as long as they're not thrown our faces and paraded around like some sort of circus side show. If more tolerance and respect was prevalent in our society, things would just be better from the top down.
When I start to have a real problem, is when acceptance is demanded of me. I DON'T have to agree with what you do or how you live your life, DON'T alienate me or label me as a bigot or bible-thumper with antiquated views because I don't embrace your "alternative lifestyle" and cheer you on with a pat on the back and say, "GOOD FOR YOU! YOU SHOW THE WORLD!"... forcing these kinds of views on anyone but your own children (and even then....) makes you as bad as the religious right

no doubt, i shouldnt be forced to accept blacks or asians either. they should stay home and be black in their own homes, not parading around being black in front of everyone. they did choose to be black after all.

funny how society can pick and choose which sexual perversion/deviancy people were 'born with' and accept (homosexuality) and damn you all the way back to Dark Ages if you dont welcome or support it with open arms but yet it still manages to thumb its nose at 95% of those other "conditions" listed above and label those people as sick or demented.
