? Where did my proposition come from?

   The statement that homosexuality is a sin can be easily proved by picking
up any Bible (don't ask me to quote, it's in there).  What I believe you
are REALLY asking is, "Why is homosexuality wrong?"

   No, I will not respond with "Because it is a sin." There have been
many arguments pro and con, but if you want my reasons, here they are:

   1.  It is not natural.  The process of evolution has determined that
to procreate the species a man and a woman are required.  Homosexuality
defeats this purpose.
   
   2.  Sex in the United States has been blown all out of proportion.  If
you went to a country where people read dirty books consisting of pictures
of food, went to x-rated pictures that consisted of nothing but food, told
dirty "food" jokes, and got strange pleasure of doing unnatural things with
food, wouldn't you say that the country's craving for food was unnatural?
The cravings (or lusts) go beyond that which is required to insure the human
body operates properly.  This statement encompasses much more than homosexuality
but certainly includes it.  (This argument has been used by another famous
Christian).
