Quote: Pariah said: Without getting too in depth with your comment because I'm still [writing/finding the time to write] a rebuttal for your post: Your perception of a "violation of human rights" is so specious that one could logically reason a person killing himself and getting a blessing from the government. And because said person is a cog in this little society of ours, one could logically extract a blessing for killing others--Especially with the grounds you've set.
The grounds I set, when I try to explain my meaning, get TANGENT!!! rages from you. Unless it is a violation of human rights to allow a person to smoke a cigarette or take an asprin or ride a skateboard there is no reason for sodomy to be a violation of human rights.
Quote: My "not good" arguments against sodomy have been met, by you, with circumstancial reasoning.
I'll wait for you to explain that.
Quote: Trying to assert the logicality of one thing simply because another thing doesn't always work the way it is supposed to is flat-out deceitful and fallacious logic--Especially considering the said "one thing" (sodomy) doesn't even begin to resemble the true (biological) nature of "another thing" (vaginal penetration)--Not even in the face of common terminology (even though it's labeled as a "sexual" act, "anal sex" is a flawed phrase in lieu of the act's non-sexual nature).
I didn't compare sodomy to vaginal sex. You're thinking of most of the other posters on the thread.
Quote: This paired with your "natural" reasoning as well as your attempted repel of my prophecy of a hinderance on society through the mass act of sodomy, which consists of 'The body's gonna get legally hurt anyway. It might as well legally get hurt from an ass-fucking,' you create a ludicrous double standard.
I don't really see it as a double standard. Please try to explain this view further.
Quote: So....yeah. You saying, "You have yet to make a good argument for why sodomy should be banned for public engagement." doesn't mean much to me.
But as I said, I'm not done explaining myself, so I'd advice you hold off your reply until I post my full article.
Thanks for the advice.
Quote: P.S. You were the first one to bring up the Church.
Yes. I was. In a localized argument. You were the one to bring it into every aspect (ok, that might be hyperboly - maybe not every aspect) of my arguments.
I look forward (kinda) to continuing this discussion.
Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!
