>>4048355 >>4048356Glad to hear it. I'm aware of many thinkers who project homosexual ideas in inappropriate places (the relationship between Jesus and his disciples, for example) and I've never been about that, especially when it comes to children. This mentality has literally been weaponized against fathers in modern day and is a large part of the reason why so many people grow up without them.
The only time I have a problem with the orthodox conception of sexuality ("orthodoxy" being something that's been influenced by modern ideas either way) is when people get it into their heads that there is only one way to live consistently within God's plan, which is foolish and short-sighted. All of us are different and live under different parameters, and in my opinion at least this is not a corruption of God's plan, but a feature of it. An organism that can not evolve can not adapt and will die, whether it be an individual or a collective.
This is far from unique to Christians, either. People who believe in "the gay community" are equally preachy about the One True Way to live and it's all hogwash. At least the Church has a tradition which upholds social stability to back itself up.
This is slightly off-topic, but a friend of mine showed me a YouTube video that I think you might find interesting. It talks about the importance of the concept of friendship, especially among men, and how it's been distorted by modern social pressures. I think it demonstrates that a lot of modern attitudes about homosexuality are completely warped, even among homos themselves.
