Some wisdom on sodomy from the ancient philosopher Philo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy

Quote
The Hellenistic Jewish philosopher, Philo (20 BCE – 50 CE), described the inhabitants of Sodom in an extra-biblical account:[5]

"As men, being unable to bear discreetly a satiety of these things, get restive like cattle, and become stiff-necked, and discard the laws of nature, pursuing a great and intemperate indulgence of gluttony, and drinking, and unlawful connections; for not only did they go mad after other women, and defile the marriage bed of others, but also those who were men lusted after one another, doing unseemly things, and not regarding or respecting their common nature, and though eager for children, they were convicted by having only an abortive offspring; but the conviction produced no advantage, since they were overcome by violent desire; and so by degrees, the men became accustomed to be treated like women, and in this way engendered among themselves the disease of females, and intolerable evil; for they not only, as to effeminacy and delicacy, became like women in their persons, but they also made their souls most ignoble, corrupting in this way the whole race of men, as far as depended on them" (133–35; ET Jonge 422–23).[25]

If you need to ask these questions, you won't understand the answers anyway.


I'm genuinely curious your perspective. I think it's a very fascinating, existential question and one that is increasingly being talked about as our species becomes more and more intelligent and meta-cognitive.

Why is "continuation of the species" important? What is our species working towards that justifies continuation?


It's really telling how all these people are depressed misanthropes yet they want to dictate how you live down to the speech you use.

The gay "community" is such a nightmare, for the people in it more than anyone else.

We all post silly things and are wrong about things from time to time. It's not embarrassing to say that you made an inaccurate claim about monkepox, and you can still retain your umbrage with sodomy.

Gay Island would be much more fun, that's for sure.

Well, to me, it just is. It's kind of like asking me why it's good for me to live. I don't have an answer to that, it just is.

Hope this answers your question.

You're putting meaning to my questions that's genuinely not there. I'm neither depressed nor misanthropic. Those questions are common in existential philosophy, and increasingly so.

It does answer it, and if it "simply is" then I accept that. I appreciate you sharing your perspective.

This is a really disgusting post. It baffles me the cruelty with which some people view others.

I'm highlighting a pattern I notice, and you stating you aren't those things doesn't really change my opinion
