funny, i always figured the purpose of humanity was ya know. to be humane. to use the gifts that people have to raise families, have friends, love life, help others, make a positive imprint.
if you treat humanity as nothing more than a self propagating animal, well
medical advances have led to higher birth rates in nations across the world then any other time in history
what this leads to is nothing but extremely awful results for the environment, and society
developing nations are crippled with an ever expanding lower class of disenfranchised people. people can actually get born without dying in the first six months of life and the mother's tend to die less due to biotics, sanitation, etc. however then they end up in many places in teh world suffering through years of malnourishment, disease, inaccessiblity of healthcare and education, unemployment, war, terrorism, all sorts of bad stuff.
our environment is in shambles due to that lovely beast that is the human. the same kind of clowns that try to pass legislation outlawing gay marriage and denying gay citizens equal rights and equal protection as any others, are the people that say global warming is a sham, for instance. boy i am sure we will all appreciate those upholders of traditional, conservative values when farming, fishing, quality of air, affordable energy, wildlife and society in general are devastated.
but while all of that goes on, at least adding a new billion people every couple decades is part of God's plan, socio-economical destruction of the world be damned!
Besides, humanity is a species long past the need biologically to ensure its survival through breeding or anything like that. We are just gonna run out of energy on the earth or nuke ourselves or some shit like that long before gayness ever destroys society, that's for sure. Unfortunately one of those events is fantasy and the others are in the realm of probability.
do people really think the world would be a better place if gays didn't exist or were denied the rights to marriage and ability to express themselves? god damn.
genuine gay bashing is going on in this thread. i mean, really. the thing is our casual use of bundle of sticks and stuff like that, and trying to demean people who take insult to it.. people like "jezzus" slip through the cracks. people with perverse, hateful world views that get reinforced by everyone's nonchalant reproach of the subject.
this obviously isn't the venue to have a meaningful conversation about social issues, but honestly I suggest anyone with a passing interest try to read up on civil rights movements throughout history, including the gay rights one. maybe you will end up with better perspectives in the long run
