is homosexual really immoral?does is refers to a defiiniton of a person or how the society defined it?

Question

it really is confusing,how do we know if WE are defining it, or if we are basing it on how the society defines it.

Bible? how do you know it's even true. I am a deist. I mean let's think reality here. Bible is a creation of Man. Bible explains a GOD who is cruel and who is jealous. The bible even contradicts its own verses. GOD is simple..he created the world for us to live it and experience it. Why base our life in a bible? should't we base it on how we lived our lives?is being immoral based on the fact that that's what the bible say?

Answer 1

Loving another of the same sex is not immoral, if you are a good person then who cares who you love, God loves everyone. Society can be really rough when it comes to our lifestyles, but there is absolutely no harm in loving someone else, though it is wrong to hate and judge. :)

Answer 2

I think that to some extent morality is relative. The immorality of homosexuality comes from the half dozen or so scriptures in the Old Testament and New Testament in the Bible. These scriptures very clearly make homosexuality sound like sin. It is immoral because God says so. In the thousands of years since then we have come to better understand mental illness and genetics. Some behaviours are not a result of people deliberately making choices that are bad. Some behaviours are innate. And so it is with homosexuality. A person's sexual orientation is who and what he/she is. There isn't a choice in what you're attracted to in your heart. You can choose your actions (stay in the closet or not). But in your heart of hearts your attracted either to the opposite sex (hetero), your own sex (homo), or some degree of both (bi). I think homosexuality and bisexuality ought to be thought of as being more related to a type of eccentricity rather than mental illness or some other abberation. It's benign. Now back to sin and morality. A more mature view of morality should place more emphasis on social value of a behaviour. That is if a behaviour tends to be socially destructive then think of it as immoral, such as murder and robbery. If you meet a homosexual and he is a great interior decorator and wears terrific clothing should you think he is immoral? God says yes.
But he's not hurting anyone. He's merely unusually well dressed and kind. Is it any skin off your teeth? No. The homosexuality per se is none of your business. It is not inherently socially destructive so no, it is not immoral. The religious aspect of the question...people shouldn't be fundamentalist about it. Practice another part of the Bible...judge not lest ye be judged.

Answer 3

I subscribe to Objectivism, a comprehensive philosophy that defines morality, aesthetics, ehtics, metaphysics, and so on based on objective reality- that which can be observed and proven. It is the basis for morals, which are very important to have. I disagree with those who say that "Love is all you need"- we need morals in our society. However, deeming something immoral is not the same as hating it, perpetrating violence against it, etc., etc.. But every act has a corresponding value judgement placed upon it.

In my view, homosexuality is not immoral- it is on level par with heterosexuality, bisexuality, and any other sexuality one may have. We base our answers on society's viewpoints on things- which are religion, tolerance, the naturalness and superiority of heterosexual relations, the ability of heterosexuals to reproduce, etc. However, there is nothing that I can see that gives one's sexual attraction an inherent immorality. What one chooses to do with it- be promiscuous, etc. is a different matter, but simply having a minority sexual orientation is not enough.

Of course, those referencing other sources of morality, like their religions, will probably feel differently.

Dear Hippnos, I think it's immoral, no matter what's the poiont of view. Human beings are human beings. And for so long a man and a woman will exist above earth, there's a concept we call in portuguese as "Classic". Poets are classic when they sing l ove as it always has been, since the beginning of times. Aand the classical appointment for it is: love is real when it is going to haappen between a man and a woman. Another experiments will only be this: exteriments. Someone can try a homo relaction for many reasons: curiosity, a wild feeling or something like this, rebellion... no matter the reason, it will only be experimentation (and it may grow to something else) but along life, he or she will get in touch with thinkings about the failure of his (her) sexual right orientation. Nature speaks aloud... And our head has definited frontiers. Our mind has limits. Over going these limits brings consequences... Happiness will not be a good fellow in a homo relaction for a long time. Sleeping on a soft pillow will not be the same. there are right things and wrong things in our lives, and we are concerned to think about them. And it's sure - you will!!! Then, to have peace in your mind, try the right way always. Walk the classical trails, just like a train - we're built do be so. The thinking of moral or immoral acts is such a normative rule that concerns to "MORAL" laws. I understand moral or "character" on a basis of: habits; good habits - a good character - Bad ones, automatically, a bad character. A wrong and ill moral. So human beings are concerned to grow good habits. We're concerned to be better persons than our parents were. Our times are changing ethic and moral do a "decadent" concept. People are questionning everything, and everything is seeming to be right. I take care with these concepts. we are going to have a feedback sometime, and then, old ways will be seen as they always were: the correct is not travelling that homo highway. The right way is not so large - it's a bit tight than oour times are announcing to the wind. Dear Hippos, forgive me for my English - I'm a Portuguese native speaker. I did my best to espress my real feelings and beliefs about your question. My keyboard is also a bit in a hurry, so it goes. Big embrace to you! And, remember: choose the right way, yeah!

Answer 5

It is immoral to people who use the Bible to think for them. On the other hand, I think it is immoral for people to let the Bible speak for them. I support love. Is that really such a bad thing?

Answer 6

The question of morality is entirely based on an individuals understanding of it. As far as who's defining it, does it really matter? We are who we are and how we live our lives is up to us and whether or not we want to live in a society that embraces our differences or simply tolerates them--or worse case scenario, punishes us for those differences.

Answer 7

Morality is not about who you love just the fact that you love.

For those bible thumpers. Let me just say God doesn't care about our sex lives he only cares about our hearts.

Answer 8

If GOD had Wanted Men to be with men and Women to be with Women he wouldnt have made it so it was necessary to have a man and Woman to have kids. Yes its morally wrong. Yes I do have Homosexual friends and they know that I don't agree with what they are doing. BUt they are still my friemnds. I truelly believe its a choice and I dont like it but what are you gonna do. All you can do is to accept the people but not what they are doing. Look inside yourself to define it. Think labout it for a while and it will come to you.

Answer 9
