Sticks and stones...
Date: 2009-11-12 03:32 pm (UTC)I did not "compare Homosexuality to Murder". I used both as examples of behaviors that may or may not be genetically or memetically influenced. I created an analogy that I thought could be grasped by the readers of
My point is simply that some murderers are born that way. Failure to accept that is converse with accepting that homosexuals might be born that way.
This is not comparing one to the other... it's using an analogy to show the underlying truth that behaviors are in some cases not simply choices.
I could have used the analogy that some people are born alcoholics... or that some people are born with exceptional parenting skills... or that some people are born with better athletic ability... or that some people are born with uncanny mathematical ability... but none of those analogies would have rung home as closely as the one I used.
Do you want to debate the underlying point, or just continue to call me names and dismiss the argument with an off-color mistatement of my point?
