So if we want to go with they don't choose it we have to let pedophiles and rapists do their thing too and give them rights...cause it's genetic and they can't help. RIGHT? If I have an attraction to a 15 yr old girls...(AND LET ME STRESS, I am ONLY USING THIS FOR EXAMPLE) if I have a choice, I can act on that attraction or not. It doesn't mean I am gentically born to have sex with 15 yr old girls. ANd who brought up the bible?? I wrote 2 words. THere goes the trying to force things on someone else. Trying to twist my words? Hard to do with 2 words, but I see you suceeded. GOOD FOR YOU!!

WRONG!
Pedophilia and rape doesn't involve a consenting partner.
Homosexuality often does.
But then, you fundies don't grasp the concept of consent, do you?
It's not unnatural to have some attraction toward a pretty 15-year-old. It's not like women magically and instantaneously grow boobs when they are 16 or 18. 15 is the legal age of consent in many places.
People are not attracted only to 15-year-olds, so it's easy to choose to have sex with older people (and if you really want that girl and she wants you, all you need to do is wait for awhile). Homosexuals on the other hand are not attracted to the opposite sex, so they do not have that choice.
I have this, uh ... friend, yeah that's it, a friend ... and he has this attraction to a 15-year-old girl. Does he have a choice on whether or not to hit on her. I mean, I think she really likes me, er, I mean him. But I think it's really wrong for him to have this attraction, so I pray daily. For him.
Pedophilia and rape are issues of power, not sexual preference. Someone always gets hurt.
Homosexuality is none of those things.
Of course, Isaac isn't going to get that. But it comforts me to at least say it. Idiots like this really irritate me.
solomongrundy, not just the middle east and not just the first century. Women were often married off as business deals before they reached puberty in europe, right up until... well, at least the 18th century.
Slippery slope! I agree, there is a line that should be drawn: beyond this point is intolerable . I just think that acceptable behavior should include consensual sex between two adults. I'm not going to stand for people coming into my bedroom and seeing what I get up to, and on the flipside I'm not going to go mandating what two other adults can do.
But then, you fundies don't grasp the concept of consent, do you?
Frightenly no, most of them don't. Just one of the reasons controling and abusive marraiges abound in the "Christian" realm in the name of a holy unity.

I must echo Mister Spak here:
WRONG!
What part of "consenting adults", and the fact that homosexuality (usually) involves them and rape and pederasty, by definition, do not, is escaping your comprehension?
@dykittyRape is not a genetic pre-disposition and neither is pedophilia, you piece of shit.
I wouldn't be so quick to say that pedophilia isn't, but it's really beside the point. (Frankly, I'm of the opinion that even if homosexual attraction were a choice, homosexual acts between consenting adults should be legal.)
Where I live, there's no law against having sex with that 15-year-old girl ... provided she consents.
Oh, and pedophilia is attraction to pre-pubescent kids. Fifteen-years-old are typically sexually mature.
So if we want to go with they don't choose it we have to let pedophiles and rapists do their thing too and give them rights...cause it's genetic and they can't help. RIGHT?
WRONG. Nobody says we have to let gays "do their thing" because it's genetic. What we say is that what gays do is none of your business, so leave them alone. Pedophilia and rape are our business. They involve forcing sex on someone unable to give consent.
Consent is the legal issue, not whether or not it's genetic. That's why it's legal to tackle an opponent on the football field, but not to tackle a stranger on a city street.
Actually, yes, yes you are, because pedophilia is caused by similar factors that cause homosexuality. Unfortunately, we can't legalise pedophilia because it's harmful to children. Pedos deserve rights, yes, like rehabilitation and drugs.
Rapists are completely different.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
