    Where exactly is the line between “natural” and “unnatural” and why should Humans abide by what is Natural anyway?

      Chimpanzees are one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

      Chimpanzees are known to be cannibals

      Does that make cannibalism “natural”?

      Those who complain such nonsense are almost always those using religion in an attempt to control and/or manipulate others because “God” is in theory “perfect” and therefore unquestionable. They conveniently forget “God” not only isn’t the one making the complaint, but is also the one who supposedly created what they’re complaining about to begin with.

        They always have an answer though. Always.

        I don’t understand how people can be so arrogant. Religious people come in two flavors though; the leaders who tell everyone what god wants (lol), and the people who follow those leaders but aren’t arrogant enough to think that their feelies must be the will of god.

        “‘at queer made me uncomfortable, and my discomfort is god talking to me.”

        “Amen brother dipshit!”

          They may have an answer, but the “logic” behind them is frequently circular/self-referential in nature, and therefore invalid. But it sounds good enough to them so they’ll refuse to even think about - let alone acknowledge - the large gaps/leaps in their so-called “reasoning” that so often completely destroy the foundations of their claims.

          You’re right: they almost always have “an answer” & as long as they’re prepared with something to say, then they’ll never care about how valid it is. They’ve got an answer, and that makes 'em right (wingnuts), goddammit!!!

          Nah, 90% of all christian people are supremely arrogant.

          They believe they are special, and better than every one else by divine mandate.

            TBF, that description pretty much applies to virtually all religious wingnuts, regardless of their specific “faith.” Arrogant fanaticism is hardly unique to Christians.
