Discussion Question: Evolution and Homosexuality

I have a few good posts that I haven't gotten to in a while, but that isn't happening today either.

This is something that has been on my mind the last few weeks, but no one out there in the atheist, gay rights, or evolutionary realm seems to want to address... Here is my thought, and then I want all of yours...

It seems to me that the biggest anti-religion movements out there are consistently teaming up with the gay-rights movements. This IS understandable in that according to the major religions, and Christianity especially, since it is dominant in America, homosexuality is a sin. Now, it can and should be argued from the pulpits of America that homosexuality is no worse of a sin that gossip or gluttony, but we have done a very bad job at loving these people like God loved us "in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."

My problem is that no one seems to address homosexuality from an evolutionary view point. Let me begin this train of thought by using the holocaust as my example. Hitler's views were evolutionary in their basis. Now although I am not making a judgment of the Jewish people here, it is enough to say that if evolution is true, then eugenics programs are necessary for the continued betterment of the human gene pool.

What I do observe is that in the view that the goal of life in this secular view is to protect the future of human life (which is why global warming is an issue as well as curing cancer), then from this view, homosexuality must be viewed as a weakness in humanity in that it is not necessary for the procreation of life and adds to the continuing spread of deadly disease such as AIDS. Now, since there is no benefit to the human race from homosexuality, and it does contribute negatively, then why shouldn't Hitler's programs be applied to the homosexuals as well?

Now, please don't hear that I am supporting killing all the gays. To the contrary, I am Christian, and my desire is to see them made right with God and pursuing holy living through community and worship. My question is, why doesn't the atheistic, evolutionary mindset hold more hostility to the gay community since it is a weak spot in the continuation of our species?


Your thoughts, please!
