@@bobthellama6988 good point. I've been thinking about how religion and choice mix together, essentially I don't think you can really CHOOSE what religion you believe in. Sure you can try to pursue evidence for a certain religion in an attempt to believe, but you can't fake true belief. I can't just today decide to be actively a Christian again because I don't believe, and no matter how hard I try, I can't change that. I wonder if being homophobic is like being religious in that sense. I don't know why anyone would choose to actively try to be homophobic, but I wonder if you really can. You can try to keep an open mind and research, but if at the end of the day all the evidence you find leads you to the conclusion that homophobia is justified, then I don't think you can just choose on a dime to stop being homophobic. If that makes any sense. You can be convinced you're wrong, but that's not much of a choice. Honestly that probably made 0 sense, but I'm gonna go with it.

@NewsRedial
@NewsRedial Жыл бұрын
It's a weak argument. Weak because morality is not actually about legalism so the logic of legality does not suffice. It's about mechanics. Something is either mechanically viable or it is not. If it is then it is moral. If it is not then it is immoral. Humans assess what works for them as individuals, families societies, nations and the world then codify that wisdom into laws, rules and morals. But something is not moral because of a code, but rather what precipitated that code. The foundational question is not if homosexuality is moral according to the group code, but if it is actually mechanically viable/beneficial, neutral or detrimental. If it is detrimental then it is immoral. But actually, even some immoral things can be absorbed by individuals and society. Not everything has to be condemned.

That’s a question that stems from a misunderstanding of Christianity’s position on homosexuality.

Very inappropriate for you to be expressing such mixed-up feelings in so brazen a way. Alex O'Connor did a bad job here, his argument for why homosexuality is not an action which can be morally judged is flawed. He is an acclaimed intellectual but we still need to weigh his arguments against the light of reason and not elevate his opinions into oracles from the god of logic. He is a human being and his logic is only useful in so far as it enlightens whereas here it obscures. On both criteria he wrongly classifies homosexuality as an amoral action. First, it is an action which affects well-being by damaging one's true sexual capacity. Secondly, it is a conscious choice to indulge in sexually gratifying actions, even though it is not a conscious choice to be inclined towards them. You cannot judge me for being sexually attracted to someone else's wife but you can judge me for gratifying that attraction by gazing at her.

His reasoning is wrong. While the state of homosexuality itself can not be judged, performing homosexual acts totally can.

Nothing we do can be for certainity claimed to be absolutely consious, I'd even argue that for most people most of what they do in life is not completely consious, and it can be simply proved by asking any person questions about any of his deeds (and the related circumstances around it) which are claimed to be conscious by said person, like "why did you put it exactly here and not there? are you even sure you put it here and not there?" and the more specifics you dig out of this deed the more likely you will make the person just admit that he wasn't entirely aware of everything he did while doing the deed that is under question.. The definitive division of the mind and its activity into strict 2 categories of unconscious versus conscious is unscientific and there isn't any evidence to back it up, as far as the science of the mind goes - our mind is super complex and consist of many levels and divisions, some can be claimed to be more conscious and some are less, but the idea of an absolutely consious mind is more in the realm of Buddhism (and even there only few people in this entire franchise claimed to reach such level), and so is the idea of an absolutely UNconscious decision, even things you do in sleep are not completely unconscious, for example when you realise that you are dreaming it can be said that whatever you do in the sleep or in the dream (and sometime you can make real moves OUT of a sleeping state, especially if you're lunatic) is more conscious than sleeping while NOT realizing that this is a dream, but can it be said that it is AS CONSIOUS as something you do when you're not in sleep, that you should take the same responsiblity as if you did it awake? I doubt anyone would want to claim that, and then there is also the question which state of sleep? As sleep itself is divided into several phases, more or less consious, and moreover even the awaken state of a person is divided into various phases throughout the day, in which we are also more or less awake/consious. There is even a thing called day dreaming, how you should deal with that? "Honey I just undressed that woman in my mind, but that was day dreaming don't worry, I am not morally responsible for that more than I am during night dreaming"... Yeah sure, good luck having such "morally responsible" relationship with your wife, I am sure it will create a wonderful and "well being" of a relationship! Bottom line - when you claim your subjective mind to fall under ABSOLUTE categories such as consious/unconscious, when it clearly SHOULDN'T, while on the other hand taking morality in a relativistic way and saying that there isn't anything absolute about it - this is the definition of being an immoral moron. Now when it comes to homosexually or any sexuality - you can't claim that it is completely unrelated to our consious decisions!! On basis of what?? There are numerous studies that people are capable of consiously influence their sexuality! Following such logic any pedophile can say - "sorry that's not up to me, this is the sexuality of my body that I have no control over whatsoever!" Do you really want to follow that route?? Or same with incest - "Yeah I'm gonna jerk off at my sister what's the problem with that? it's my sexuality, I didn't decide that, that's at least what my father teached me..." good luck raising your kids with such understanding of sexuality. Just don't be surprised if one day you caught them having sex with each other. Also you are a moron if you think only about your own "well being". The most "well" state of a productive and prosperous society is when each person realizing his personal duty to multiply and make kids so that the society grows. Sexuality can be consiously influenced, at least according to my own experience, I am heterosexual and never ever experienced attraction to same sex even for a slight, but one time I decided to experiment with it and see if I can squeeze out of myself some arousal towards a guy, and to my surprise I could! It was very hard though, but on the next experiment I noticed it went a little easier, so I dropped the experiment out of fear of perverting and ruining my sexuality.

@@supayambaek The whole thing? no. only what comes after quoting an "immoral moron". If you fall under this category or not depends on what you would answer to your partner if let's say you day-dream about another person in a sexual way and she/he notices and asks you "what are you thinking about?". You basically have 3 options - you can lie to her/him - this would be immoral, especially when it comes to personal relationships with your significant other. (An argument can be made for morality of a lie when it comes to "lying to nazis about some jews that you hide in your closet " or something of this sort, but that's obviously not the case here). Or you can admit, but either you admit while being sorry (acknowledging that it is wrong on your side), or you can admit but justify it with the mind set from this video which brings arguments like "babe, this is day dreaming just some thoughts that pop up from my subconsciousness over which I have no responsibility (according to this video), for example I also was dreaming about f**king my ex last night when you was sleeping by my side, even came in my pants from that as you may have noticed, but don't worry babe it's all subconscious sexuality which I have no control over..", now commenting this without sarcasm - such a position of an immoral moron would lead to a failed relationship, and you SHOULD feel guilty about that. OR you may find another immoral moron like you who would be ok with f**king anyone around and won't demand any sexual dedication (what you'd call "open relationship") - but this is a case of 2 completely immoral morons who may some day even by a "mistake" get an innocent child involved inbetween such a f**ed up relationship, and in no way that "mistake" (a torn up condom) would justify what the child would have to experience growing up in a house of undedicated parents, or in orphan house, or experience getting cut into pieces (in case these morons would go for abortion). I may remind you that this video arguing a "well being for yourself or another one", a baby in a womb of a woman is another one, but what even the point of trying to argue that to a bunch of nihilists who have no distinct point that makes "me" as a subject another one in relation to him/her, as we are all bunch of meat with neural structures that came out of the same monkey pussy, with no absolute defining point between that monkey and our current form..

My grandmother is naturally left-handed and in school she was always forced to write with her right hand. They even hit her hand with a wooden stick if she dared to use the left hand! The reasoning behind this was exactly what you said: using your left hand for things like writing is a sign that the devil or some demon is trying to get hold of you. So those teachers probably really believed that they were saving her from the devil's influence by forcing her to write with her right hand. I'm left-handed too and when I broke my left arm, I had to write with my right hand for a few weeks and it was horrible. It just felt so unnatural! I know this is just some more anecdotal evidence, but to me personally, it's real evidence, because I know my own grandmother would never lie about something like this. She's turning 90 next year, so this happened between 1935 and 1945, in South Africa.

I think it is a good video, however it misses an important point. While your sexual desire is outside of conscious control, sexual activity is not. I'm not saying two men having sex is immoral, but it does fall within the moral sphere, as it is a conscious decision affecting well-being. Homosexuality as a sexual orientation is in the amoral sphere; homosexuality as an action is in the moral sphere. You can make a comparison to pedophilia. Attraction to minors is not a conscious decision. Acting on that attraction definitely is and deserves to be punished severely, as I'm sure we all agree. Same with homosexuality, except for the punishment part of course. All I'm saying is that the argument presented in the video is lacking, as the action itself is conscious.

Science is not regional, but what it achieves in all things can only be done in a society where religion is shoved into the ground enough.

Statistical analysis shows this as does genetic studies thus far.

People who believe it is immoral DO believe it is a choice. The best response to them is "why would anyone choose that?". If being homosexual leads to lower (institutional) social status, an inability to procreate and causes stress on a daily basis... why would you *choose* this? The answer is you wouldn't. Simply as you didn't *choose* to be born to a poor family or be born with 10 fingers and 10 toes. Sexual orientation is not black/white, but rather a scale/gradient and we all find ourselves along this scale. For all intents and purposes, it was a blind throw of a dart and we live with where it lands...for better or worse.

Ari Onassis-Sugen, you're oversimplifying the complexity of existence. None of the things you've listed as even partially equivalent and it is debatable "why" a person would do any of them. If you take the time to analyze why a person would do each, then you can decide if they are doing so of sound mind or if by some kind of mental illness. I suspect though you haven't thought through any of this and are just passing through with a silly thought never to return. With that in mind I just want others to realize that life is not simple. You cannot give simple prescriptions for complex problems.

During the time you pretended to be "gay", did you genuinely develop a crush on another man? Or simply started finding men attractive in a sense that you were attracted to the idea of being in a relationship with man? Most likely not because you are straight so you are only attracted to women.

The problem is that those condemn homosexuality have a completely different opinion regarding the two criteria of morality as applied to this question. They believe (or have been told to believe) that homosexuality is a "lifestyle choice". And they believe that the presence of this phenomenon has a negative effect on society, perhaps similarly to extra-marital sex in general or gambling or drug use. It seems clear to me that while they have used scriptural references to assert this, it is really just a desire to maintain conformity in the society. (Mind you I'm not saying conformity is always bad, but, as Alex points out, if a person has no choice over the characteristic or behavior in question, it is wrong to condemn them for it.)

Three years ago I hated myself for the gender dysphoria I was experiencing on a daily basis. I was seriously suicidal. I had this belief that what I was feeling was morally wrong. This way of analyzing morality helped me so much. It only took a couple days to realize that what I was feeling was perfectly ok. Since then I have come out as transgender to most of the people in my life. I may still have limited options due to living in Alabama but I now have love and support and the assurance that I am valid. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

We've just now elected the first openly gay governor here in Colorado which precipitated an interesting discussion with someone I know who is Russian regarding the "morality" of being openly gay. It seems that the Russian mentality of homosexuality is pretty much back in the 1950s if she is at all representative. After many rounds of trying to get her to explain why being gay was wrong, she ended up by arguing that being gay was OK but that being a gay governor was not. She was unable to tell me how a governor's sexuality would adversely effect their performance in office, and after going round and round in circles, she ended the discussion. My point here is that so much anti-gay prejudice is irrational at its core, so attempting to use logic to displace it aims at a target that doesn't really exist. Still, that's no reason not to try.

RyanBrown94 if we live in a society where we have natural, biological inclinations contrary to what we 'should' be doing, and are thus scrutinised under tyrannical leadership, we may as well be dead. I don't think homosexuality is damaging to the advancement of the human race, realisticly (if that's what you mean, i'm sorry if i've butchered what you meant). I believe in each to their own; if you're racist, don't hang around other races; if you're homophobic, stay away from gays. My problem is where freedom of speech is used to damage others on some delluded idea of morality. Which does happen. In terms of an absolute rectitude for people, homosexuality doesn't harm others directly and as long as men and women are still making more humans, we're fine. There's over 7 billion of us.

The RightStuff You speak about a god who condones and promotes rape, slavery, genocide, prejudice, and murder. That’s all okay. But when it comes to homosexuality, that seems to be the immoral aspect of life. What you’re saying is that people shouldn’t be given the right to be themselves and have to sacrifice their sexuality because of the beliefs of others? For example, I’m wrong, criticized, and demonized because I don’t believe in the god of the Bible, Quran, and Torah; and wish to be who I am and love a man as you would the opposite sex. That’s a threat onto your way of life and existence. However, you’re actively preaching that gays are immoral and worthy of death, that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with that. We’re supposed to nod are heads and say, Yeah you got a point. Seriously dude?

RyanBrown94 no probs. Firstly; as an athiest, i may not share your idea of meaning (assuming you're thiest) but i think we live in a chaotic reality that we assign meaning to (not saying there is no god but i just don't base my life on the assumption there is). I would just like humanity to continue to grow and expand and i don't think everyone being exactly the same is the way forward; rather, everyone is different and thus helps our race to progress through various, operational means (like a jigsaw puzzle). Bringing me on to the next point, if everyone was a homosexual; yes, we'd die out but i think that's hardly relevant as i have no reason to suspect we are all going to be gay. Again, we all play roles, small and large. Gay people can be good engineers, scientists or factory workers; they don't need to breed to be useful. As long as people are breeding, we're fine. For example, we don't all need to be doctors for medical care to be available. I'm not sure about your second point as i haven't really looked into it but i'm guessing you said it because you're concerned it's a cultural change that might; in time, set everybody to gay. I suppose that raises an issue whether a social force that keeps homosexuality at bay brings balance to humanity's survival. Hmm interesting.

I must confess, I'm one of the countless individuals who fell prey to the deliberate click-bait title of this video. A few years ago, as a young gay person struggling to reconcile my identity with the dogmatic dictates of my faith, I stumbled upon this video in a desperate attempt to find justification for the self-loathing and repression that had become my constant companions. I for one am very thankful, that it was actually quite supportive as this was one step to accepting myself.

Ngl I relate to this a lot. I am bisexual, but I always tried to repress myself, tried to force myself to be unattracted to men. I got radicalised during the lockdown(thanks edgy memes and 4chan) bc I was an edgy teenager, and started maintaining alt right beliefs, which made me even more depressed and anxious than I previously was. It is only recently that I started thinking about it logically, and have been exponentially happier ever since. I hope you have a happy and joyful life. Peace 👍

@Luke Lemmon There's a lot of projection in your comment. You also seem to be defending something without actually coming out and stating what your point is. It seems like you are defending hate, and the implication is that you are defending hate of non-white people as a survival technique. I also read your second comment to Gareth Sheals and it seems pretty much the same. While Gareth was making the constructive comment about ignorance before malevolence, you reply with what seems to be an argument supporting the "art of destroying the human spirit and causing pain and death for its sake". It was the second post that confirmed my suspicion that you are either a drunk guy goofing on people or an unstable person who enjoys hate, like some of us may enjoy an ice cream or a day at the beach. Either way, I don't enjoy communicating with irrational people, so bye.

Just because we haven't found out why people are gay vs straight doesn't mean people choose to like a certain gender. And really, homosexual relationships help the Earth. They adopt kids apposed to having them, which will slow overpopulation.

+CamoMGO Just repeating this answer for your benefit: It's true that to engage in a homosexual act is a choice, but not in the way that you assume. It is a choice between a) pursuing pleasure, and b) denying yourself from having what's attractive to you. To take the latter is a decison that creates psychologically uncomfortable cognitive dissonance - one want's something, put tells oneself not to pursue it, for likely externally originated reasons. (Like if you want to get rich, which is obviously appealing, and then taking actions to avoid that. If you perceived a chance to get rich, it would be uncomfortable to avoid it right?) What's NOT a choice, is that each of these actions has a psychological result - pleasure or psychological stress respectively. So by a simple 'if this then that' logical extension, a person in actuality is choosing between pleasure, and psychological stress, which is really not a choice at all. Also, it doesn't inherently have a negative effect on society. Do some research. There's a good TED talk on homosexuality and evolution.

I'm gonna try to fight those points: 1. No. The point of life is not to reproduce. There is no objective point to life, a person can make their own though, although that means that the "point of life" is a subjective idea, and therefore should not be imposed on others. Some may think the meaning of life is to reproduce. I find that to be sad, but sure, just don't use your opinion to put others down. 2. AIDS is NOT exclusive to homosexuals, that'd be falling into what I believe is a stupid misconception in and of itself. Anyone can get AIDS, and proposing a worst case scenario, it's possible that certain LGBT cultures could have more cases of AIDS popping up than other groups, though I don't know much about that either. I'm somewhat misinformed, but those are my rebuttals.

Reproduction isn't the point of life - that would mean stuff that happens without any intelligence around has a point, which is silly. In any case, life and reproduction co-depend on each other. Purpose is something else that doesn't exist without intelligence, so unless you're talking about why your parents decided to produce you, your life doesn't have a purpose until you give it one. Oh, and I seem to recall hearing a while ago that these days, AIDS is more likely to be transmitted ny heterosexual sex - presumably becaus there's a lot more of that.

I've seen people from the LGBT community have their identity questioned after disagreeing with people who are "fighting for them", as well as LGBT people using their identity as a shield when being called out for the bad things they've done.
