It has recently been brought to my attention that I might not have stated my position clearly in previous blogs.
Allow me to start by saying: I am conservative.
This statement does not make me "judgmental" or "closed-minded;" it is what it is.
How do I feel about certain issues? That we can explore more deeply.
As the daughter of an Anglican Catholic priest (yes, they can marry), I cannot in good conscience say that homosexual activity is an acceptable behavior. Does this mean that I judge people who take part in these actions? Absolutely not. It is not my place, nor the place of any other human being, to judge the actions of another. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." In fact, many of my close friends are homosexual. I do not love them any less than my heterosexual companions.
The reason I view this behavior as immoral lies in the fact that it presumes that sexual interaction outside of the context of marriage is alright. Last time I checked, under the teachings of Christianity, the primary purpose of sex was procreation. Now, under natural conditions, it would be impossible for a homosexual couple to procreate. Again, I am not judging, but rather, stating the logical conclusions which can be reached through this common knowledge.
Well, I hope this has cleared up the confusion which seems to be shared by some readers. I am more than happy to address any "flaws" you see in this reasoning, and will do so gladly. It's always a pleasure to further my ability to defend my position and to gain knowledge of my opponents' perspective.
