ah, israel. Just another justification for my thesis that religious belief should be treated the same as any other mental illness. But that's another discussion entirely...

Ham explains in this chapter that the majority in power in many of our Western societies once believed the institution of marriage should be one man for one woman. But this has changed. Many are now allowing “gay marriage.” So how long before polygamous or pedophiliac relationships are allowed, which some people are starting to advocate? Who is to say they are wrong if the majority agrees with them?

According to the Bible, Polygamy is not a sin. The New Testament does condemn homosexuality, several times. Some Christians do eat Kosher and circumcise their sons (since the Bible says to do it).

In the same way, homosexuality if allowed to spread would mean the death of our species. Homosexuality has no competitive advantage from an evolutionary perspective. Therefore, we should not allow them to spread their lifestyle through genes, or influencing others.

Naturalism makes no moral claims. You can be a bigot if you want but don't drag the rational into this.
You also disgracefully misrepresent the Humanist position.

Thus, homosexuality can be condemned if enough people (a democracy) or the right people (other forms of government) decide that it is wrong.

Therefore, we should execute or isolate murderers to eliminate their genes and their influence over others.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

Gremlin, Hit1er himself didn't kill any of those people - just as Bush didn't torture any of those detainees... Hit1er was a hypochondric, abstinent, faithful vegetarian - and very sick in his head... It's good that he's no longer around and it's good that (thanks to democracy and an educated public) none like him get into powerful positions anymore...

In case anyone was confused, I agree with the critics of Naturalism and humanism. I do not believe in Naturalism or Humanism, and think that their claims about morality should be rejected.

New Testament on Homosexuality:
Rom 1:26-27
1 Tim 1:10
1Cor 6:9
As far as condemning homosexuality on other grounds… there are a few ways to construct a moral framework, such as:
God’s law
Man’s law
Natural law
According to the Bible, God clearly condemns homosexuality. Since God defines what is good and evil, it is evil.
From a humanist perspective, homosexuality is wrong if it contradicts the morals that society has invented for itself. Thus, homosexuality can be condemned if enough people (a democracy) or the right people (other forms of government) decide that it is wrong.
From a naturalist perspective, actions can be judged “good” or “evil” based on whether they contribute to the fitness and survivability of our species. Thus, murder is wrong because if a disposition toward murder was allowed to spread through our species, our species would die. Therefore, we should execute or isolate murderers to eliminate their genes and their influence over others.
In the same way, homosexuality if allowed to spread would mean the death of our species. Homosexuality has no competitive advantage from an evolutionary perspective. Therefore, we should not allow them to spread their lifestyle through genes, or influencing others.
Of course, from a natural law there is also no reason not to condemn something unless it is positively contributing to the species. Therefore, we are allowed to condemn whatever we want unless there is some reason not to. Unless we can find some reason why homosexuality gives us a competitive advantage against other species, we should feel free not to encourage it, or even to discourage it for an arbitrary reason.
