I see sexuality as amoral. I don't see a rational way of placing a value judgement on a natural tendency. I am naturally attracted to the opposite sex. Some people are naturally attracted to same sex, or both. In what possible way could I reason any of it being `good` or bad?` That's no different than placing a value judgement on the color of one's hair, or the size of their feet.

@Leith_Crowther 2 месяца назад

There are lots of natural tendencies we can place moral value on, such as carnism, pederasty, or murder. What really makes sexuality an amoral issue is that it neither necessarily benefits nor harms anybody.

@somersetcace1 2 месяца назад

@@Leith_Crowther Before I got half way through your response I was thinking, (but it's victimles....err...oh) Yeah, you're right. Oh well, I'll leave it as a dunce moment. 😏 Edit: As I think about this a little more, I'm not so sure you're right after all. Take the example of Pederasty. It is defined as an act of what we would typically call pedophilia. It's not a `natural tendency,` but an act `likely` the result of a natural tendency. We could argue that even the natural tendency is immoral, but if it's natural, then what would be our basis? It wouldn't be that person's fault, in that case. We can certainly place a value judgement on the act, but no, I don't believe we would have a basis for judging the natural tendency itself. `Assuming` it is a `natural tendency.`

@ChristianCatboy 2 месяца назад

When I came out as trans, I did "convert" from Conservative Evangelical Christianity to Progressive Ecumenical Christianity. Part of my reasoning there is that I want to be able to fling my vast knowledge of the Bible back into Evangelicals' faces. If I still identify as a Christian, then they have to argue with me on a theological level based on shared basic premises, and I believe I've got a lot of ammo to use their beliefs against them. Sure, there are some awful verses in the text that bigots can cherry-pick, but the overall message is supposed to be "love your neighbor", right? There are even some wild verses that can easily be used to support trans rights, like "there is no male or female, for you are all one", or "there are eunuchs who have "eunuchized" / castrated / feminized themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven." So, I often dress as a flaming nonbinary femboy, with a flashy cross or graphic crucifix around my neck! My concept of God is kind of materialist now, though, so I affirm secular humanism. I guess the "faith" bit is just that I do believe in the afterlife, which is unprovable of course. That's based on the "vibes" I get from my experience of existence as a whole, not on reason.

The only way that morality impacts sexuality is in terms of consent. The most obvious way is in the case of rape/sexual assault, including child molestation. But cheating also falls under violating consent because your partner can't give informed consent to have sex with you if they don't know who else you're having sex with.

the thing to note, for any Christians stalking the comments, is that all of these things are actions, not states of being. being LGBT isn't immoral because there is no harm to be evaluated from an innate quality. there's nothing immoral about a rock being gray, there's nothing immoral about water being a liquid, and there's nothing immoral about a person being LGBT.

"The only way that morality impacts sexuality is in terms of consent." That's not exactly true. Google the Cannibal of Rothenburg and keep in mind that everything he did was consensual. Causing harm for pleasure, consensual or not, is immoral in my view.

It's clear that Dingleberry is struggling with the consequences of his actions on RU-vid. His repeated violations of community guidelines and subsequent temper tantrums speak volumes about his inability to handle accountability. Based on information shared by QC, it appears his father is very successful. This, combined with his behaviour, suggests that he grew up in an environment where he was given everything he wanted without learning essential values like kindness, respect, and humility. It's likely that his parents' influence shielded him from the consequences of his actions, allowing him to bully others without facing repercussions. He's spent his life assuming he could get away with anything because he never faced real consequences. However, RU-vid operates differently. Here, his parents' influence means nothing, and he's held accountable for his behaviour. That's why he constantly complains about being reported-he's not used to facing the consequences of his actions.
