1. If you don't want to have sex or live in fear of your own sexuality fine don't have sex, but other people's sex lives is none of your business
2. Ditto for homosexuality
3. If you really want to prevent the need for abortion you'd be advocating for cheap, easily available contraception.
4. Self centered? You mean like demanding how everyone else lives their personal lives?

Homosexuality is caused by fornication? Well, at least he's admitting homosexuality isn't a choice in this regard.

Just stop fundicating. That's all that needs to be done!
You refuse to stop?
Now are you beginning to understand why your so-called solution is actually part of the problem?

Tell your god that if he doesn't like it, he can do something about it.

Just stop fornicating!
Stop having sex outside the confines of God's guidelines.
No more homosexuality.
No more abortion.
If you don't like these things just don't do them. It's not that difficult.
But until you can prove beyond reasonable doubt to all people that your God exists, that he doesn't like these things, and that we should pay the slightest attention to what he wants, let other people live their lives as they choose.
That's all that needs to be done and these things will stop.
What, you think if gay people stop having sex they'll stop being gay? And if "God's guidelines" means marriage, then gays in countries where same-sex marriage is legal are fine right?
Or were you referring to the American Bible Belt states, where conservative religious dogma regarding sex leads to such low abortion rates? (Hint: I'm being sarcastic, it doesn't)
But people don't want to give up their vices, do they?
And you don't want to give up your religion. And in terms of the harm that causes, it's infinitely more of a vice than the things you mentioned.
Greedy, selfish, self-centered, and thereby hypocrites.
Greedy? Don't see any money involved.
Hypocrites? That would only be true if the people doing these things pretended to oppose them. There are many people like that, but they're not on our side of the isle.
Selfish and self-centered? Only true if they harm someone else. The first two clearly don't and while you can contend that abortion does, the contention becomes rather weak when you remember the fetus in question has, during the period most abortions are performed, less concsiousness or self-awareness than a fish.

Well, they haven't since the dawn of history, so it's not going to happen. You wouldn't either, if you had the opportunity. It's easy to whine about other people getting laid when you're not.

Are people forcing you to fornicate?
Are people forcing you to have sex outside your God's guidelines?
Are people telling you not to be straight?
Are people forcing you or your spouse to have an abortion?
Well, stop telling others what to do. God didn't appoint you to be Judge Jury and Executioner of other peoples sex lives.

Fuck you. I don't care what "your God's" (read: "your") guidelines are. I don't believe in your God and neither do millions of other people. We are fucking adults and we can decide when we want to have sex and if you don't like it you and your God can kiss my ass.
No more homosexuality.
Homosexuals are adults too so you can kiss their ass as well.
No more abortion.
I'd like that, but that involves comprehensive sex ed and birth control, But that's not what you want, is it? No, you probably want a government ban, which only forces abortion underground where it's more dangerous and less regulated. I'm just as pro-life as anyone but I'm not stupid. I know people have sex and I want a practical solution not some pie-in-the-sky ideal that denies all real world evidence. I also know that adults are capable of making their own decisions about their own bodies.
That's all that needs to be done and these things will stop.
I have a better idea: get off your high horse and stop being such a sanctimonious prick. YOU can go ahead and follow your God's rules but don't for one second think that your religious nonsense gives you license to tell everyone else how to run their lives.
Greedy, selfish, self-centered
Says the guy who thinks his opinions should be forced onto everyone else...
[...]and thereby [a] hypocrite
Exactly.

Pitching a bitch about what your God wants everybody else to do isn't exactly a virtue.

If you seriously think that you can stop people from having sex by using religion, you're totally deluded.
If you think that other people's sex lives are any of your business, you're an asshole.
No more abortion.
You're making the incorrect assumption that married women never do and never have ever had abortions.

Except for married people who, for one reason or another, abort.
FYI: God's guidelines sucked when they were new, and are now so obsolete it's not even worth discussing. It's like saying we should all go back to using old Sinclair calculators to do word-processing on. We can do better, and we should.

Fighting instinct is a losing battle -as thousands of years of history should demonstrate along with a population of seven billion. Understanding the instinct, making responsible choices is an acceptable form of selfishness and self-centered behavior.
God had sex with a young teen girl without her consent. Not only that, she was engaged to be married in a religion that, if it had really stuck to its laws, would have stoned her to death.
Homosexuality doesn't cease to exist if a homosexual does not have sex or has sex with the other gender.
Throughout the OT, god was perfectly okay with the destruction of heathen and pagan children, babies, and pregnant women. What makes you think abortion concerns him at all? Furthermore, with the case of Sarah and Mary, pregnancy seems to be something god controls, therefore, an abortion is god's will if the woman's heart is hardened to do so.
I reject your over simplification of complex issues. I reject your crazy ideas about the bible. And I would ask you not to break one of the ten commandments by taking your god's name in vain.

No, you don't get to tell people what to do based on your interpretation of 2,000 year-old myths. Selfish and self-centered basically mean the same thing you twat, and being greedy and selfish has nothing to do with being a hypocrite unless you call others greedy and selfish while being greedy and selfish. Since you're trying to tell people how to live their lives you are greedy and selfish, and you are a hypocrite.

Aw, Lighthouse doesn't get much sex and doesn't want you to either. Maybe Lighthouse would be less uptight if he or she got some mind blowing, hair pulling, loud, monkey sex with a consenting adult.

Your omnipotent deity is perfectly capable of enforcing his own rules in regards to fornication.
After all, he did consume four cities at once in fire and brimstone and is able to turn people he doesn't like into pillars of salt.
The fact that your deity isn't doing anything must mean that he approves. So what are you complaining about?

As long as Lighthouse is addressing his/her remarks to people who claim to follow one of the Abrahamic religions, I have no problem with this. All those people should stop fornicating. Then all their religious leaders should meet up at Har Megiddo and kill each other.

Gay marriage exists.
Married couples get abortions, as well.
And "fornication" is only a sin amongst Abrahamic religions, last I checked. In case you hadn't heard, the majority of people on the planet do not belong to that set of religions.
In other words: you're an idiot, and you're out of touch with all of reality.

Human beings are the only creatures that have sex that isn't fornication.
Why are you opposed to natural sex?

Ever notice how these fundies never specify which god's law they are demanding you follow? I am pretty sure Zeus has some wild parties and I am pretty sure Shiva is cool with most stuff. Why should I give a crap about Yaweh?
