If Alan Turing, one of the inventors of the computer, was gay, why do so many Christians use his evil device?

Question

Eds: Alan Turing committed suicide after being sentenced to prison in England for homosexuality. I know what I am talking about, do you?

Answer 1

Should we decide if we like a song or not by the song or the religious inclination of the singer? Don't really care who invented the fridge.. I want one! Devices are not evil - not even a gun - devices are amoral. People use them for good or evil but only humans are concerned with moral distinctions.

Answer 2

I do not agree with homosexual adoption. It has been proven in several studies that the mother and father play very significant roles in the childs life that helps them to build future relationships from observing the interaction of their parents. Having same sex parents the children are deprived of same sex parents to use as role models. The relationship of homosexual parents is based on lust not love as a mother and father experience and demonstrate to their children. The roles of mother and father are not there and it cripples the children. The dynamics of an mother and her son or daughter, a father and his son or daughter are not the same as those in the same sex, same sex, or opposite sexes they can't be. There are lots of traditional parents that want children because they can't have them so your last question is a play for sympathy that is based on a false premise. As for loving or not loving a child that can happen in a homosexual home just as easy as a heterosexual home, also either can be an abusive home, so your argument doesn't fly.

Answer 3

fci pitch: you miss the point entirely. when was the last time you heard an atheist condemning a car, or a pile of cash, etc., to hell?

edit: i think it is a legitimate question. christian organizations frequently call for boycotts (most recently for a boycott against a movie about penguins, for crying out loud) against anything they have any type of a problem with. why don't they also call for avoidance of computers and the internet? lots of 'sin' promoted on the internet, after all. maybe it's because they can also use it to promote their views, thereby keeping the money coming in. hmmm...

peace.

Answer 4

A man's sexual preference is not to be considered in things like that. That is between him and G-D and no other. Society had no right to stone Mary Magdellan either, remember? She was a prostitute? Sex is personal just like religious beliefs, to promote them is wrong, and to trespass on others for their personal beliefs and feelings is wrong as well. Does anyone have a right to tell you who or what to believe in when it comes to G-D? Nor does anyone have the right to impose upon you their sexuality and visa versa. God luck

Answer 5

The computer isn't evil.

The way some people use the computer is.

Alan Turing, as a homosexual, wasn't a sinner.

To the extent that he engaged in sex outside the confines of a one man/one woman marriage, he did sin.

Answer 6

He was a mathematical genius who broke the German "ultra" codes and saved the lives of thousands of allied servicemen. Given that fact I think we can overlook his unorthodox sexual tastes.

Answer 7

Well it's like this:

There was a woman who everyday came outside and jumped up and down on her front porch and praised God and thanked Him for everything she had even though she was poor and destitute. She lived next door to a man who was evil and did not believe in God, and he said to himself that he was going to show her that there was no God. He knew she did not have any food in the house, so he went to the market and bought 6 bags of groceries and set them on her front porch in the middle of the night when she was asleep. She got up the next morning and went outside and saw the groceries and started jumping up and down, and giving thanks to the Lord for the groceries. The man next door came outside and watched her, and when she was finished, he told her, "see I told you that there was no God, I put those groceries on your porch myself" Then the woman started jumping up and down again, and said, "thank you God for making the Devil pay for them" Nuff said.

Answer 9

I had no idea that Alan Turing was gay. Thanks for the info.

Answer 10

I am a Christian, and I am neither anti-gay, nor anti-computer. Are you sure you are not letting a very very very small group of mindless bigots prejudice your overall views on religious groups?
