Stop It, You Homos! Don't Make Me Come In There!

Guy Adams decides to redefine "common sense" for the new millenium:

Logic and common sense has all but disappeared in America in some circles. For example, homosexuality is not "gay." There's nothing 'gay' about it. It is a lifestyle of misery, loneliness and extraordinarily high medical risk. All of nature tells us it is wrong. God is not schizophrenic. If you believe in God, you'd agree that it's impossible to believe that God made a mistake. Otherwise He's imperfect, and at the worst, a liar. How can God call homosexuality an abomination and order us not to engage in it and then turn around and create a small group of people who can do nothing but engage in it? If you're an evolutionist, the continuation of the species doctrine proves that Bruce cannot, and should not, mate with Steve. Consider that over thirty years ago America was able to get two spacecraft, each going approximately 17,000 miles per hour, to dock perfectly in space using technologically male and female engineering, yet we can't seem to see that God did not intend male-to-male docking, so to speak. If it doesn't fit, you must quit.

From what I understand, Mr. Adams, it "fits" just fine (CYMBAL CRASH!). The moral high-ground that Adams takes here is awe-inspiring in its hubris. It's breathtaking, this certainty. What pushes it over the line from "just plain offensive" into "bigoted hilarity" is Adams' seeming-solution to the "problem" of homosexuality: "JUST STOP IT!"

Well, gee, thanks Mr. Adams.

But seriously, folks. What worries me about Guy Adams (and the numerous people Guy Adams represents in terms of general thought), is that they've made up their minds about homosexuality without actually considering whether its "natural" or not. They know that its wrong. And no amount of high-falutin', namby-pamby, liberal hoo-ha is gonna convince them otherwise. To wit:

Make no mistake about it; homosexuality and the homosexual agenda goes against all that is decent and moral. It also goes against all that nature teaches us. When is the last time you saw two male songbirds having sex? How about two male grizzly bears? Get the picture?

Well, no, actually. I mean, I get that you're a bigot, but I don't get "the picture."

I suspect this has something to do with the fact that you're wholly, completely wrong?

From National Geographic:

[A]ctually, some same-sex birds do do it. So do beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, and orangutans. Zoologists are discovering that homosexual and bisexual activity is not unknown within the animal kingdom.

Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. They display classic pair-bonding behavior—entwining of necks, mutual preening, flipper flapping, and the rest. They also have sex, while ignoring potential female mates.

Wild birds exhibit similar behavior. There are male ostriches that only court their own gender, and pairs of male flamingos that mate, build nests, and even raise foster chicks.

According to Mr. Adams, these animals are willfully choosing to go against their hard-wired instincts and defying their Creator all at once.
