GAY SHEEP -- Scientists look for "cure." (page 2)

misguided

I feel this shows that if animals that are not tainted with Adamic sin, then homosexuality can not be considered a sin.

Profound statement..so true...

imho...

I don't see the difficulty in this study being conducted.

Of course not...you're not a !

If it proves that there are genetic or chemical reasons for homosexuality it doesn't alter the individuals' sexual preferences.

As long as the sheep are humanely dispatched and eaten by me or my pets... I have no real moral objection to the experiments. I think the 'big question' might just be answered finally by research like this, regardless of what may be bad motives by some. If it is, "genetic or chemical reasons," it can and should be thrown into the faces of the fundies.

Down the road however, if they ever do find a way to "cure" it -- what will the fundies do then ? Demand inoculations? Genetic rehab treatment? Social pressure? Hate will find a way, I'm afraid.

I find it easier to just accept that people are different and won't judge them about something so personal.

Isn't it amazing the basic things you learn...when you exit a cult ?

Dear God, I'll never look at Lamb Chops the same way again...

By the way, can we leave the gay sheep alone?

It's bad enough they have to get sheared every few

months and have to walk around naked

More interestingly, why would God create "gay" sheep?

Surely you know the JW / fundamentalist answer to this, don't you?

Sheep only started to become gay after "the fall" in the Garden of Eden. The same "genetic changes" that made Adam & Eve imperfect also were performed on animals, such that Tyrannosauruses & tigers suddenly switched from a vegetarian to a carnivorous diet, spiders stopped spinning their webs as a hobby & started using them to catch & eat insects, and, yes, sheep became gay.

All of this is firmly Bible-based!
