<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"></p>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>The debate still flares with such passion in a modern context, in regards to homosexuality coinciding with religion. Love being the main underlying factor of both of these attributes of humanity creates a tension between the two.</em></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>From a Catholic perspective the church condemns the act of homosexuality, that is the act of sexual relations between a man and another man, or a woman and indeed another woman. The church however does not condemn same-sex attraction or personal desires so long as they are contained to within the person. For most this is completely outrageous, as they should be able to express their sexuality in a way in which they feel comfortable and safe. But before one can place the blame entirely upon the church one must understand that the church also condemns sexual practices for mere pleasure (therefore the banning of contraception). It is stated that every act of sex should be open to the creation of a human being, which is the church’s main defence when dealing with matters of homosexuality.</em></span></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-size:x-small;">There is no doubt, in a Catholic belief system homosexuality is intrinsically &#8220;wrong.&#8221; However, there is a <strong>direct lack of evidence why</strong>. It is almost as though if questioned, a believer would merely say (in a more eloquent manner) <em>&#8220;because God said so.&#8221;</em> If as human beings we were to believe and worship everything with more power than ourselves then where would I society be headed? Would there be any scientific development? <strong>Would there be any progression of humanity?</strong>This other <strong>terribly discriminatory</strong> ideology that homosexual relationships have the capacity to devalue or in effect hinder a heterosexual relationship is completely <strong><em>illogical</em>. </strong><em>How can a relationship that you have no knowledge of, destroy your relationship?</em> In regards to homosexual marriage, American comedian Wanda Sykes puts it into a humorous colloquialism, &#8220;If you don’t believe in same-sex marriage, then don&#8217;t marry somebody of the same-sex.&#8221; Marriage is another topic that is too lengthy to delve into right now, however, people argue that the sanctity of marriage must be protected at all costs. However, marriage existed before religion,<strong> <em>before</em> Christianity, before Islam, before Judaism. In fact many of modern church practices (the use of candles, incense, etc.) were derived from the more ritualistic services of paganism. </strong>The Church&#8217;s view on homosexuality is clear and concise. Clarity is usually beneficial in most situations. But the passion at which the Church argues that these acts of homosexuality are <strong>&#8220;wrong&#8221;</strong> has a direct <strong>relationship</strong> to the amount of discrimination that exists in the wider society. One might even go so far as to argue that it could be the one of the underlying factors in the higher rate of suicide in gay teens. It an absolutely appalling statistic that approximately<em> <strong>30% of GLBT youths will attempt suicide.</strong></em> The Church is also used as a justification for violent and discriminatory acts. Matthew Shepherd’s death is a tragic example of the extent to which fear and text can motivate someone. Imagine if it were you, tied to a fence post, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die. Why? Merely because of the colour of your skin, the type of men you found attractive, your religion, your political beliefs, the way in which you desired to express your sexuality and who you were as a person.<br />
<a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dark_church_by_loveinelevator.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-10" title="dark_church_by_loveinelevator" src="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dark_church_by_loveinelevator.jpg?w=1024" alt="" width="423" height="279" /></a><br />
<em><strong>This cycle of discrimination has to be stagnated. If not for the safety of the GLBT community, but so that we can function and develop as a species. The Church had made its stance loud and clear, but there must be logical and rational Christians and Catholics that see the flaw and larger consequences that this stance creates, not only for homosexuals, but for the wider human society.</strong></em>&#8220;Homosexuality is a lifestyle <em>choice.&#8221; -<strong>Wrong</strong>. Homosexuality is <strong>not a choice of lifestyle</strong>, but more of a part of a <em>person perceives himself or herself to be</em>. Modern psychology states that homosexuality is <em>at least 30-70% genetic</em>, therefore it can&#8217;t simply be argued that a man or woman wakes up one morning and decides that from this point in their lives that they will be homosexual. This is not to be confused with a period of discovery that many homosexuals undertake, but as Erikson defined in his stages of psychological development that all teens undergo this stage when they are attempting to find themselves and who they are as a person. The <strong>detrimental</strong> influence of society also creates this <strong>fear</strong> amongst many of today&#8217;s youth that instills into them a <strong><em>fear of being themselves</em>.</strong> Not only around their peers, but also with family and even by themselves. Hiding from one self may also lead to many psychological problems in latter life.<a href="http://braidzy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dark_church_by_loveinelevator.jpg"></a>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>To bring up a thoroughly visited topic, I thought I might point out that I didn&#8217;t use any biblical quotes or references regarding my discussion on homosexuality.</em></span></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>One of my intellectual and quizzically inclined readers pointed out some interesting biblical quotes regarding the church&#8217;s stance on homosexuality.</em></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>Let us begin:<br />
<strong>Genesis 19:5-8</strong>-&#8221;Calling to Lot they said, &#8216;Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so that we may abuse them.&#8217;<br />
Lot came out to them at the door, and having closed the door behind him said, &#8216;I beg you, brothers, do no such wicked thing. Listen, I have two daughters who are virgins. I am ready to send them out to you, to treat as it pleases you. But as for the men, do nothing to them, for they have come under the shadow of my roof.&#8217;&#8221;</em></span></span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>To place this in context the quote was articulated to be within the town of Sodom, and the two &#8220;men&#8221;? Well they were said to be angels of God. The ideologies contained within in the quote are not direct and clear. To begin the quote itself does <strong>not</strong> exclusively denote the act of homosexuality. But also in addition to this it does <strong>not </strong>even state that the abuse of the two angels was intended to be sexual. Regardless of the implications, even if this was intended to be sexual abuse, then would this simply mean that &#8220;Yahweh&#8221; as described in Genesis was condemning Rape, Sexual Abuse and Nonconsentual Sex? Rather than jumping to the discriminatory conclusion of homosexuality? Angels were beings completely void of sexual sin; meaning that even if women intended the same actions it could be stated that this would be &#8220;wicked&#8221; in the context as well.</em></p>
<p><em>The simple fact of the matter is, that Sodom was not an exclusively homosexually inclined town, but a cacophony of sinning did occur. Rape, murder, incest, bestiality were all the norms of this province, meaning that one cannot simply jump to the simplest conclusion to merely justify their own beliefs.</em></p>
