Presumably DQ you view any person/couple who choose not to have kids as equally unnatural?

The Catholic Church and the Vatican in particular were very sympathetic to the Nazi's and especially the SS at the end of WW2 because of their fear of the "Godless USSR". They supplied false documents for many SS criminals to escape to South America.
Altogether an unsavoury bunch IMO.

Worker ants and drone bees/wasps aren't exactly prolific maters, are they unnatural?
There is a whole range of theories about what drives procreation. You find altruism throughout nature, creatures in animal groupings that don't have children of their own.
There's the idea that perhaps homosexuality has evolved to stop the continued growth of the population thus giving others a chance. I mean, there are some studies that suggest younger brothers have a higher chance of being gay (something to do with hormone make up in the womb being affected by previous pregnancies). This would mean 50% of the genes in the younger brother will we passed on by the older brother, because the younger brother isn't going to mate it provides less competition for resources.

At least the Catholics don't execute them like Islam
Have many British muslims executed a gayer or two then?

No just mentioning the fact about the executions of gays in such countries as Iran.

1) Didn't some of the Allies think and do very something very similar?
2) The 'bunch' you refer to are, by and large, everyday people much like you and me.
But that is about Iran, and their ruler and the ruler's interpretation of islam, not about the religion itself.

I "got" this straight away, Buzzer (honest!)
Pope Ian's comments about maintaining procreation look absurd considering World population is 6.7 billion and rising.
So the Koran says that being gay is OK then
I don't know, I've not read it, have you?
I do know the koran is as set in stone as the bible.
There is so much in pretty much all ancient religious texts that is ignored because the people that follow these religions think they are outdated. We no longer stone people for wearing clothes of mixed material, I'm not allowed to buy slaves as long as they're from a neighbouring country, nor can I sell my daughter into slavery, I can't kill someone for working on a sunday, eating shellfish is considered an abomination, but christians do not follow these rules anymore. They do not fit with modern life.
There are many christians who realise that homosexuality is part of life and that the bible's stance on it is as outdated as it's ban on contact with women during "that time of the month".
As there are with christians, there are with muslims.
The idea of "it says so in the bible/koran" is a cop out. It is taking all responsibility away from the individual and forcing on an inanimate object. People don't hate because the bible or koran says so, they hate because they are sad angry individuals.
It isn't islam that hates gays, it is some people who hate gays and use their religious text as an excuse.
Surely if the tomato boat has docked you just have to grin and bear it. I agree it's no fun ending up with a raspberry moustache, but it's for the LADEEZ innit.
