What is the Christian perspective on animal homosexuality?

Animals don't have souls, nor do they have a concept of right and wrong. Adam and Eve sinned, animals haven't.

As someone who has no stick in the gay issue fight, I'll try to answer. I'll start by saying that I really don't care what is up in the gay community, I see it in two parts: those in the Church, and those outside the Church. Those in the Church need to speak on the issue privately with their pastor. Those outside are outside our jurisdiction and only our problem when they make themselves so.

But to the specifics of your question: On one level, animals don't count. Dogs don't mate for life, does that mean that religion is supposed to start accepting one night stands as just as legit as marriage? Ducks migrate every year, does that mean that we're all supposed to start buying two homes? Ducks will do the things that are natural for ducks, dogs what is natural for dogs. Humans are unique in the animal world in that we can more or less define what is natural for us. We aren't born knowing, we learn from our parents and society.

For the ducks, be sure you know what you're looking at. I've seen male ducks that don't have mates yet who will stick close together for a while. Ducks are social creatures. But once they get a mate in a few years, they usually drift apart. I'm not a duck expert, but I've seen it a few times so I wouldn't read too much into two male (or female for that matter) ducks sticking close together.

I am less than surprised that you've received so many pat answers. We have here another case of the faithful having an answer to everything. We say that homosexuality is natural, supply evidence, and all they can come back with is, "are you saying you want to behave like an animal?"

Many of these people have clearly missed your point. The fact is that homosexuality happens among non-human species. Decrying it as "unnatural" is simply denying the facts.

The whole "behaving like an animal" argument is pretty non-sensical, as it wholly ignores the fact that people are, indeed, animals. That may be a tough nut for some bible-literalists to swallow, but there is really no way to argue with that one.

That we now recognize that homosexuality occurs in non-human species leaves the faithful scrambling for an out. Sadly, for them, there is none. They cannot avoid that god made gayness. That pokes a hole in the entire idea of faith. It's a small hole, but it's certainly there. Now, this is an instance where they cannot expect the world to conform to their worldview. They need to fit their worldview into the world. It's a tough fit and many of them are resistant to cram their ideals into place, but to choose not to is to admit that they are wrong, but refuse to accept the truth.

I don't envy their position.

Do you really want to imitate animal behavior? I don't mean to sound crass - but I've seen dogs AND cats eat their own feces. So????

The fact is Mankind is superior to animal kind. Whereas animals go by instinct, we humans are more guided by will, power of conscious decision. Man does not need sex to survive. Its a choice, given the fact we don't need sex to survive - it rules out the genetic garbage certain scientists with an agenda has tried to pass off.

Nature - the way living things are made - tells you there is a master design; Male to Female. Those asexual creatures don't apply because, hello, we humans are made with male and female genitalia and cant by course of nature reproduce without a male and female. There are birth defects that make the exception - key word, birth defects and people born with those defects are still human. These and only those hermaphrodites are able to decide which sex they are and will within their rights to relate surgery IF they so desire.

You may not like what I had to say - but Its all very logical. God didn't make us to abuse the way he designed our bodies. Humans made the choice to go against nature and they try justify it to ease their consciences.

it has nothing to do with 'dominance' it has everything to do with genetics. sheesh! ppl are BORN gay. animals are born gay. look up the "Bonobo Chimps" and you will see that a great deal of research went into the discovery that animals are also gay. female seagulls will share a nest together ( that has nothing to do with dominating anyone) female hedgehogs performing orally on each other, male giraffes necking, female cows mounting each other on the farms etc. In fact, farmers will put a chalk stripe on the cows backs so that when another cow tries to mount her, the chalk will rub off. the farmer then is alerted that it is time to have ol' bessie bred by the bull. Some cows and horses absolutely REFUSE to allow the opposite sex to breed with them and have to be artificially inseminated.

The bible thumpers ( no offense intended) mean well, and are trying to do good work, they just dont realise they are barking up the wrong tree and wasting thier time trying to change what God made the way He wanted in the first place. God made all the gay ppl the way they are. GAY. who are WE to argue with God?

Catholics for one don't believe that animals have souls, so they're free to do whatever the heck they want (lucky ducks!)

Incidentally, I've noticed a lot of homosexual activity in cows - namely humping. You can't drive past a field without seeing at least one cow mounting another.

Which reminds me - a while back I came across a site that listed all of the animals that are known to masturbate. Don't even ask me why I was researching that.....the one that surprised me was bucks. I mean, how? No thumbs? What?

They are animals, they don't have a soul and they have no ability to know right from wrong.

This is an entire issue, do people, want to lower thierself to their pure animal seuxal lusts and desires, or has man ( if you beleive in evolution) evolved past that point.

This is a prime example of what was warned about in Sodom, where the mens sexual desires were taken to a level so extreme, even after being blinded, they still only cared about thier sexual lust and still wanted and tryed to find the strangers.

So if they gays wish to say they are merely animals and wish to practice base sexual practice without thought to moral values and conscience. And perhaps they are indeed an example of reverse evolution, returning to animal behavior.

That relies upon on which Christian you confer with. mostly, maximum prepared sects of Christianity condemn gay habit as a sin, because of the fact it is expressly forbidden in Leviticus. some sects, on a similar time as condemning the strikes, do no longer condemn the folk who're gay only for being gay. it is in simple terms a sin to dedicate the act, to no longer be of a definite nature. This makes a good number of expertise, once you think of approximately it. If gay kinfolk are a sin, why could a gay who has by no ability acted on their desires be condemned? if you're going to try this, you may desire to sentence each single heterosexual as a fornicator, despite if or no longer they have ever had intercourse or no longer.

nice girl :) How can you say animals don't have souls? Then we don't have souls either, I mean how do you test or prove that statement. All living creatures have souls. My dog is also Lesbian. She hates male dogs and every time my brother comes to visit she "humps" my brother’s female dog. She also regularly humps my other female dog. My male dog don't get any attention from her (he climbs over the wall at night to go look for female dogs)

There are thousands of animal species which have been discovered to have homosexual tendencies.

I'm also curious as to where the first poster got her information on the subject, because I have never heard of any expert making that claim.

Dogs also eat their own vomit and feces. Ducks spread diseases that kill and infect other human beings. Such things are also natural. What would your child say this is proof of?
