	I don't see where any religous argument is used in this
	statement at all.  The fact that evolution requires a man and a
	woman to procreate is a fact; why are you adding a religous
	argument to it?  This argument does not state that it is a sin
	at all; it merely makes a statement on "the natural order of
	things"

I agree entirely.  Furthermore, evolution requires that the man and woman be
unclothed at the time of procreation, so the wearing of clothing is
unnatural.  Also, watching television does not directly aid the procreation
of the species, so it is unnatural.  In fact, come to think of it, most
things that people do are unnatural, according to this argument.

	I stated personal observation on my belief that homosexuality
	is unnatural due to the way nature works; even though I am a
	Christian this shouldn't allow others to make this kind of a
	logical error.  I am willing to debate just about anything in a
	logical argument;  however, once others begin to add new
	meaning to the words to suit their own argument logical
	reasoning falls apart.

Now, wait, Dave.  Christianity is unnatural, since it does not directly
further the procreation of the species.  By a consistent application of your
principle of unnaturality, Christianity is completely unnatural, as is
speech (except pick-up lines), reading, throwing garbage in cans, and
turning on the lights.  None of them directly further procreation, so they
are unnatural.

I am glad to hear that you are willing to debate logically.  When do you
plan to start?  You could begin by admitting that your prejudice against
homosexuality is older than your silly argument for its "unnaturality".
