Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

>Does the craving legitimize the behavior?
No, nor does it condemn it. If it is legal and moral (or more accurately not immoral) then that, not the craving, legitimizes the behavior.
>Or do we just need a certain number of people all wanting the same thing
>to make the behavior acceptable?
Nope. It doesn't matter if one person or 300 million want the same thing; if it is legal and moral, it's acceptable. Want to have sex in the missionary position under the covers with a consenting adult? No problem. Want to roll your girlfriend in axle grease and foam peanuts? No problem, as long as she's OK with it too.

Again, no. Random resequencing has nothing to do with it. Legal and not immoral does.

QuoteOr do we just need a certain number of people all wanting the same thing to make the behavior acceptable?
Certainly, the church has tried long and hard to dictate what is acceptable. Who are you to say? Or the church? Or anyone other than the people directly involved? If they are not hurting others, why do christians seem to care so much? If your god is omnipotent and omniscient, why do you spend so much time on this earth bleating about something that you believe he will take care of anyway?
I can only say what is acceptable for me. Homosexual behavior is something I'm not interested in, it's just not how I'm wired. If that's how you're wired (general "you"), great. Be happy. Don't hurt others, but otherwise, enjoy life.
Ron wants to keep calling it a choice, so he can continue to see them as different from him, and then easy to marginalize. Since I have little else to do while at work, I'll take every opportunity to point out the simple failings of his logic. In this case, calling it a choice is ridiculous. He didn't choose to be straight, but contends that homosexuals are choosing their sexuality, and in that choice, choosing to sin. They aren't choosing any more than he is, he just needs an excuse to keep spewing this bile.
If you want to evolve that use of the word "choice" into "acceptable behavior", that's fine. You define what's acceptable, and I'll do my best to tell you why it's bullshit. Unless your idea of acceptable christian behavior stops with "love others", in which case, BRAVO...
Say what you mean. Do what you say.

That is all
Everybody living has desires and or obsessive cravings to deviate form acceptable behavior. Does the craving legitimize the behavior? Or do we just need a certain number of people all wanting the same thing to make the behavior acceptable? Or maybe we can simply it by saying, any behavior resulting from the random resequencing or mutation of genetic material will be considered acceptable.
"Acceptable" is an objective term.
Here's a thought: Let's just let consenting adults do to each other whatever they want without trying to "change" or "fix" them by guilting them into thinking they're "broken."
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
