It is a sin, no matter what way you twist it, pure and simple, no question about it. Most of the world's religions would agree anyway.

Are you sure about that? There are over 12000 faiths on this planet, not all believe in the doctrine of Sin my freind. The concept of sin has entertained constant rebuttle and variation of interpretations in this thread by many members, and each as it seems, layed to waste of that argument.
Most of the worlds religions are unheard of, so how can you speak for them?

The reason most people believe it is wrong because evolution would tend to try to eliminate non-reproducing portions of the population. One would hope that at some point people would have intellectually evolved far enough to realize that humanity is not at risk of extinction with 6 billion and counting. Trouble is evolution is just a complex set of simple mechnisms. Instinct is the base mechanism of evolutionary pre-programmed behavior and attitudes. The utilization of creative minds to improve the human condition serve humanity almost as well as evolution and at some point may be more important. If you can get beyond your easychair instincts you might find a new perspective on this and many other subjects.

I'm NOT gay and personally I think this whole argument is stupid. The sole purpose of life is not to procreate and pass your genes on to your children. If anything the purpose of human existence is developing meaningul relationships and making a difference in other peoples lives. Last time I checked you didn't need to be heterosexual to accomplish this.

Great comment, I couldn't agree with you more.
And Tachyon, get over it. You have 'evidence' about AIDS in ONE COUNTRY on earth. You didn't post the statistics from African countries, where far and away AIDS affects primarily heterosexuals. Come back and post the world AIDS data that shows heterosexuals across the WORLD are infected with AIDS at a higher rate than homosexuals (even though admittedly the gay population is just an estimate since many remain in the closet). Then try to explain that off.
You need to stop using grand generalizations already. People like you are the worst to debate with; you don't care if you are proven wrong, you use words such as 'most' and 'the majority' without really researching into the subject at all and instead preach it as fact, and you don't really listen to anything anyone else says. So I'm through with you. I hope the invisible man you pray to every night will set you straight someday, it seems like he's the only person you will listen to anyway

Let's -whatever we say- keep in mind that being gay is not a choice or lifestyle, it's a state in which some of us are born.
It's as unchangable as the skin of your color. (exceptions ignored)

Everyone knows that a lot of the time children do the opposite of their parents, especially when it comes to religion.
