For all others reading these arguments, if they are bothering you (or if you feel we are unduly cluttering up the net), let us know and Tim and I can continue our discussions via mail. Surely you can see the error in your debate of my original argument; you are trying to extrapolate the procreation argument into all other facets of life. "It is unnatural to eat rocks" cannot be used to support an argument such as "We can't watch TV because it is unnatural." The two topics are unrelated. Secondly, how did this start in the first place? I think I stated the unnatural aspect of homosexuality as an opinion; I didn't think I would draw this much flak. However, the discussions have made me do some serious thinking about my opinions (which have not changed), which I am thankful for. Thridly, you proceed on the assumption that I am prejudiced toward homosexuals. This may or may not be true (and would be difficult to prove/disprove anyway), but what has that got to do with starting a logical argument? -- Dave Norris
