Phrase it as a deductive argument, smarty-pants. You are asserting premises and conclusion(s), so you have all the ingredients you need to construct a good, deductive argument.
So show me! This is your opportunity to organize your points in a way that is Universally recognizable, according to the very same rules of logic and reason that your creator endowed you with.
Go ahead. Make my day
Edit:
Here, I'll get you started.
Premise 1: (Insert here)
Premise 2: (Insert here)
Premises 3, 4, 5, etc., or however many you need: (Insert here)
Therefore: Homosexuality is unnatural and bad.
All you need to do choose your premises and fill them in!
Shouldn't take you long.
Easy to do. In fact, I have already done it. Simply go back and read what I have written in my previous posts in this thread.
No -- see, that's the thing; I already read them. However, as you know, I've already asserted that I believe your arguments don't make sense because I believe they are unsound, and I've told you why, point-by-point. You also know that I understand what your conclusion is, but I believe your premises not only do not lead to your conclusion, but also are untrue unto themselves. Therefore, I believe your argument is not only unsound, but completely invalid.
So, because we both know what your conclusion is, and we have both read your premises, I am simply asking you to restate them in a way that soundly leads to your conclusion that homosexuality is bad and unnatural. If you can do that, then I *must* concede to a superior argument. I'm just waiting for you to do that. This is your chance to prove once and for all that I am wrong, and since you seem so confident in your knowledge of the topic, it should be easy for you. You know this like the back of your hand, right?
However, if you will not, I (and anyone that understands how deductive arguments work) will assume that you
cannot, and thus also will assume you concede to my superior argument. That might give you just enough time left to work on changing some things so you can live with your conscience.
Okay. I will restate briefly, talking about people.
Sexual process is for procreation.
Same-sex sexual process has no procreation in it.
Same-sex friendship can be almost as intimate as opposite-sex sexual process, but without having same-sex sexual process.
Because of the above, there is not only no need for same-sex sex, but it is perverted against nature, at best useless.
I don't necessarily concede to anything that you have to say. However, I wouldn't want to deprive you of your right to assume anything.
If you approve of homosexuality, perhaps it is because you have so hardened your conscience to what is right that you don't feel it any longer.
Responding to your points in order, for your convenience:
1) Your statement that sex is "for procreation" is, at the *very* best, unclear. First, you do not specify here whether you believe it's *only* purpose is for procreation, or if is merely one of its purposes. But, even if could prove this premise, it does not follow that it is wrong to engage in sex if procreation isn't the objective. Here, you would need another argument to prove this premise is true.
2) I agree with your premise that procreation does not and cannot result from homosexual acts. At this point, you're 1 for 2 with your premises.
3) I also agree with your premise that same-sex friendships can vary in intimacy and so can same-sex sexual activities. You're 2 for 3 with premises.
4) Here you restate your conclusion that, because of the aforementioned premises, homosexuality is not only unnecessary, but it's perverted. So, let's condense what you said:
Premise 1: Not included because it is provably unfounded.
Premise 2: Homosexual activities do not an cannot result in procreation.
Premise 3: Same-sex friends can share a level of intimacy that approaches the intimacy of same-sex sexual partners.
Therefore: Homosexuality is unnatural and perverted.
So, there you go. There's your awesome logic. Wow, what a huge load of crap.
You REALLY want to continue to defend your position with this pathetic argument? Like, in front of people? You actually want people to think that this is what you produce when asked to bring your highest level of reasoning to the table?
I'll give you a chance to reconsider if you'd like a second attempt. Otherwise, it's safe to say that your argument has been shown to be based upon untrue assumptions that, even if entirely true, do not lead to your conclusion.
Thanks for playing!
