Discussing a possible evolutionary basis of homosexuality in a thead titled 'Belief in God'I dunno.Actually, not to be a nazi, but further posts on the matter should probably go in the science forum. Let us agree, there is no one single reality. Not upon this stage, not in this world, all is in the mind... imagination is the only truth. Because it cannot be contradicted except by other imaginations - Richard MathesonThere are no conclusive indications by which waking life can be distinguished from sleep - Rene Descartes

We should discuss this in the science forum; that is why I created that thread. Mr. P.

A more appropriate subject for this thread might be whether or not God made certain people gay. But who am I to condemn tangents? On that particular count, I disbarred from casting the first stone.

Hi, I'm new and first of all, thank you for all the insight and "food for thought" that your discussion has given me. In fact, that's what made me interested in joining.I must say that the whole fuss about "God" puzzles me. Most Christians I have met, no offense intended, get very defensive when you ask about their religion and how they explain controversial facts. After a couple of hours I usually ended up with the "well, better safe than sorry" attitude. That is very sad, especially since I grew up and lived in a communistic country all my live and have never really understood the need for a supernatural parent figure. Anyway, thanks again for a couple of hours well spend.Kate

Hello,I like to state for the record that there is no god.All religious faith is more or less a severe schizophrenic thought disorder.So put away those fantasies and revel in this real life HELL of a world called Earth.Kyle
