Do Atheists feel obligated to condone homosexuality even though it is against the laws of nature too?

Answer 1

Many will tell you there's new evidence that homosexuality does exist in nature. Supposed new proof about a mutuant gene found in some animals that scientists think show homosexual behavior. Of course, whether they are truly displaying this behavior, or they are merely showing dominance is a question not yet answered.

My question is - are people so desperate to prove this is natural that they are willing to believe that they are a product of a mutuant gene that makes them have the same behavior as dogs?

I have only met one atheist, a man I dated for a long time, who believed homosexuality was not natural. Most claim that they are tolerant and accepting of this behavior, but you never really hear them talk about whether it really fits with the laws of nature. In reality it doesn't - it means that this would be the end of line for that species if homosexuality did exist.

Also, homosexuality has existed supposedly for thousands of years. If humans evolved and learned new behaviors and shed the ones that weren't helpful - then why is homosexuality still in existence?

Answer 2

Why do you think that your opinion about what is against the "laws of nature" (whatever that means) is a fact? I'm not an atheist, but I know quite a few (including my husband) and none of the atheists I know feel "obligated" to condone homosexuality. They are just more open-minded to differences and more tolerant of them. Once again, you try so hard and fail so miserably.

Answer 3

If you really look at what happens in 'nature', you will find homosexuality in almost every species. So it is certainly not against any 'law of nature'.

On the other hand, simply because something happens 'in nature' doesn't mean it is good. For example, disease is a very natural thing, but I think we should fight it. Homosexuality, however, hurts nobody and increases the bonds between people in the same way that heterosexuality does. As long as it is between adult, responsible humans, I don't see a problem with it.

Answer 4

Not every atheist condones homosexuality.

You know, wearing clothes, wearing makeup, using a computer, driving your car, and flying in an airplane are supposedly against the laws of nature? What about medicine, surgery, hospitals - that goes against nature, too?

Do you want to go back to living naked in a cave? Or do you enjoy progress?

Answer 5

homosexuality is not against nature. It's found in every species, including humanity. I do not feel obligated to condone something that is completely natural and should be left alone. Homosexuals do not do anything to you, and they should be able to do what they like. They are human just like you.

Answer 6

By nature, atheists don't automatically feel obligated to condone anything. Also, what specific laws are you referring to? What scientific literature has these laws that you are referring to?

Answer 7

Who told you it was against the laws of nature? Homosexuality has been observed among many species, not just humans.

A better way to phrase your question: Why don't atheists feel compelled to judge and condemn people whom they don't understand, like we do?

Answer 8

I don't feel obligated to condone it being an atheist (as you're implying). I accept it as a part of life. And thus, it is natural.

Do you condone the life of siamese twins? Conjoined pairs who live in one body? They were born that way and their living is completely unnatural.

Answer 9

Hello. It's been shown that homosexuality is a biological affiliation so that would make it part of nature.
However, a single male creation deity is very anti-natural.
Edit: In response to whoever said something about a mutant gene, as 'proof', I have some distant relative (who's quite a lot older) who behaved 'different' as a child. When his hormones kicked in, everyone thought he was such a well behaved boy they trusted taking out their daughter's. He actually married and kept trying to live in denial that he was. He finally admitted it to himself and his family when he was in his forties. He never made a choice to be. He was since birth and society pressured him to live in denial until he was in his forties.
I even knew a kid who was in the same schools as myself and, as we grew up, he always acted 'different' and he was teased so much, before the majority of us even knew what 'gay' meant, when he turned 13, his father moved him to a different location.
I'm under absolutely no obligation to anyone or anything, but I know cruelty when I see it.

Answer 10

I guess this question is more evidence that racist, heterofascist, warmongers are running out of useable land, water, air and sunshine again. Being frustrated in their quest to expand their populations expontentially ad infinitum by the limited dimension of the planet Earth, racist, heterofascist, warmongers such as yourself are looking for excuses to alienate homosexuals from their property and or lives. Do you really think that stealing from homosexuals is going to solve your problems? If ideological authorities who propagate Abrahamic religions continue to motivate communities of faithful believers to out work, out fight and out number competition in a race to Armageddon, then I doubt stopping along the way to steal from homosexuals is going to do much to prevent racist, heterofascist, warmongers from ultimately running out of useable land, water, air and sunshine.
