• Pope Benedict: Gay Marriage Threatens the ‘Future of Humanity Itself’

  In reply to filiusdracul.

  filiusdracul: I know lots of gay people who ARE happy. Some are in committed relationships, some are looking for one. The saddest gay people are those who feel (based on religious nonsense) that they are not entitled to love and be loved. Which does include sex, by the way.
  Some priests are capable of being chaste; this is a special gift. The idea that all gay people should be chaste and lead loveless lives is ridiculous, and not Godly.

  palerider54: You aren’t making sense.

  “THE SELF GRATIFICATION OF THEIR SEXUAL URGES WITHOUT THE RESTRAINTS OF A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP” This is not limited to gay people. Lots of unmarried people have sex. You did, did’t you? Gay marriage is just the sort of committed relationship that could discourage promiscuity.

  Maybe God doesn’t want every single person to procreate. Judging from some of the wingnut comments here, I can see His point.

  I know it’s politically incorrect to admit it, but there are some frightenly stupid comments here.
  There is no such thing as encouraging homosexuality. Whether you persecute us or don’t, our numbers don’t change, just our visibility.
  And God doesn’t get nearly as upset by illegal immigration as the rightwingnuts do.
  The existence of gay people has not done anything to reduce population growth. 6.8 billion earthlings would argue otherwise. Allowing gay people to marry will never cause straight people to have fewer children. Straight people like having sex, procreative or not. That won’t change. Some people may choose to use birth control; the existence of homosexuality does not enter into that decision.
  Communist governments are more intolerant of homosexuality that democratic ones.
  Polygamy has nothing to do with gay marriage. Even so, it‘s quite possible that God doesn’t send Mormons or members of polyamist societies to hell for this “sin”. We may form opinions, based on our interpretation of translatons of ancient mideast texts. But we don’t Know.
