Heterosexuality is a Universal Cultural Norm (Part2)

When it comes to our sexuality, is it a matter of personal taste or preferences or is it due to our created gender and created order. Is heterosexuality just another preference, like homosexuality? I think we must be careful here because people will say that its not a preference but is who I am. I did not chose to like the same sex, but this is what I found myself to like and to be.

One must be careful when one says, “This is how I feel or am meant to be”. Does this mean that our sexual preferences are based on “feelings” or on correct union of genders. Is what is right based on what we feel, or does our created nature tell us something about reality. One truth that we can not get away from is that heterosexuality is a universal cultural norm, it is not just a preference. The union of a male and female in a family unit with procreation and kids is what keeps society functioning healthy. Therefore homosexuality is endangering society and humanity. Without this norm humanity would come to extinction and not exist. If homosexuality were a universal norm, life would not continue. If life is to continue the way it always has been heterosexuality must be classed as a universal and cultural norm.

If our sexuality was based on just our “feelings” then who could deny any combinations of relationship, including sisters or brothers. Feelings are a dangerous place to define what is right and what is wrong. What happens if you like animals or young kids, or Grandparents, or even tree’s? Definition should be based on adult consent of correct use of genders according to a universal norm if right and wrong have any meaning at all. A Male and a Females body connects in harmony perfectly, they are designed to connect and reproduce. Our feelings, which can at times be wrong, must be defined by our gender and physical natures.

If our genders define our sexuality and keep our feelings in order, then we are what we have been created to be and not what we feel we like to be. If heterosexuality demonstrates a universal norm, what do we mean by “norm”. Does this imply what is normal, what is right or what is good for humanity, or what works…I think the answer implies all of them in some way. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying homosexual people are evil or perverts, but what I am saying is that they have misunderstood there relationship with reality and our correct function to exist. Some might say we can live how we want, we can adopt children or use artificial ways to have children to keep humanity running. But this again is wrong. Why should we change what is normal and has worked perfectly well since time began. Why not accept that some of our feelings go against our created natures and genders. Some feelings are just wrong, out of correct balance with reality and God.

To say one is just born this way, opens up many questions. What does this mean?
Is this based on your gender or your feelings? If your feelings then you cannot condemn the person that likes to sleep with animals or with kids or the rapist who say’s his feelings come from the way he was born. We all have many feelings, but how are we to know that we were born this way to have these desires, which we class as true and correct, if there is no design or purpose to reality. If any feelings can be classed as wrong, then they must be judged against a standard that the universe is supposed to be following. I mean we were all born, and we all act according to feelings, so does that mean that all feelings have the same value and worth and truth content as each other. To say that I was born this way, if there is no correct standard doesn’t really put any weight to an argument.
