[QUOTE="athena, post: 229462, member: 9953"] My reading comprehension needs to be tweaked? I said I was a heterosexual. That should be comprehended as NOT gay. I am not denying that it takes an egg and sperm to create a child. However, I hardly think this is a basis for what should define a relationship. You are stating that uncategorically the biological processes should define human lifestyles. This is not biology, the "basic facts of life", but instead a philosophical interpretation of biology. I disagree with your interpretation. I do not believe that the human design for reproduction is the basis for each individual choice. I thought that the human ability to think rationally was one of the reasons we are superior to other earthly life forms. So, you are telling me that biologists would agree the traditional marriage is the only choice humans should make and it has nothing to do with a belief system? There is scientific proof that heterosexuality is the only choice that is beneficial to society? So, as a minority, I should not expect others to be open-minded about their beliefs. I should not expect others or I might be wrong about the belief systems we have. That I should not try to get to the truth of the matter and expect others and myself to change our beliefs and definitions to more accurately reflect the truth or at least the best possibility. Just because I am a minority? Would you have said the same thing to Dr. Martin Luther King? This is the last post I want to make on this subject. It has been interesting having this debate. I am grateful I live in a country where it is acceptable to have differing opinions. Thank you for the dialogue, Brett. I do understand where you are coming from, I just don't agree. So, let's just agree to disagree, if you will. [/QUOTE]
