Do you believe your God controls nature or is it random like we atheists believe?

I believe God doesn't control nature but he put the laws of nature in place. Things like natural occurrences are a result of theses laws in place. God has the power to but he doesn't.

naijaboyof4life:


You say they from your personal view but it doesn't mean it is case. That is like saying married couples cheat after years of being together. It happens but it is not the majority.

Not all married straight couples cheat. I'd expect that cos they are married to the gender they are naturally attracted to. It isn't same for gay people in Nigeria. The pressure from all kinds of people and society forces us into getting married...to the opposite sex, which most times we aren't attracted to.

So by your own admission your God placed the occurrence of homosexuality in animals, because if God didn't put it, it would not not occur right? most things we deem violent in nature help foster the survival of a species but homo sex? and why didn't your God take it out of the equation completely to teach man that it is evil/unnatural etc.

Cheating happens, doesn't matter the preference. That would mean that all the men and women that have cheated are gays? Cheating comes simply from not being satisfied.

My statement doesn't mean that God placed occurrence of homosexuality. I said God set the certain laws of Nature. Example of a natural law is mammal being able to procreate only sexually requiring one male and one female. Just like natural disasters, God didn't put it there but natural disaster are a result of nature laws when in conflict. Believe it or not, animals do have a certain level of consciousness. They know what they are doing. So it is not like they don't have power over their actions. It is a good thing that you brought up the survival of a species because one of the reason one atheist I met doesn't like homosexuality is because he said homosexuality doesn't in any way foster the survival of humans. It is just that religious people tend to use plainly beliefs. Saying that why didn't God remove it? Well it is a desire and believe it or not, it brings that idea of choice. Desire is one of the reasons why we are living breathing things and not robots. The same can be said about pain or death. If pain was removed , how would you know how to fit in other people's shoes. If death was removed, how would you learn to respect life.

You aren't getting my point. No need going further on this. Safe.

suppose your parents were gay....

would you be alive today?

And what's so special about being born into this world??

Luchiana1:

Of course I'm unique, and the fact that I'm not the way some warped-minded people see me doesn't change that fact.

I'm living my dreams, what many people my age can only envy, and there's no where else to go but up.


Thanks.

masonkz:

We are both not getting each other's point but same to you. Goodluck.

masonkz:

You could as well end it...if you find nothing special.

Please, tell yourself the hard truth.

If your parents were gay, would you have been born?

If everyone or most couples today were gay, I tell you, there would have been serious threat to man's survival. You wouldn't have been alive.

It is not about being attracted to either sexes but keeping the human race.

Then again, why do you think the society abhors such union?

This your reasoning sha...

Everyone cannot be gay.

Everyone must not give birth (Lawd knows there are millions of people looking for kids)

If I wasn't born I wouldn't have any knowledge of this world, so why should I be worried about if my parents were gay or not??

You must be kidding to be worried about the world's population. Despite gay people being around, there is still the geometric growth of population.


Please, come up with something else.

Like you do not care about the world's population. The world has also put in measures to check the growth of gay population, just like here in Nigeria.

if you weren't born, the world would have progressed towards being a better place...as your existence (by being gay) is a threat to its survival.

Millions out there want kid. Because they want to keep the race alive. Because they have a legacy and name to keep and protect. But you, you want to destroy it. You want to kill yours and by your action, put to threat this survival instinct of man through the very many as confused as you. So if you do not want kids, well, 24, you probably have better goals like marrying a man.

There's a reason they say you should consider doing that thing which you'd ordinary not tolerate. Have you wondered why the society abhors such union?

Probably having kids is not your dream. So you can continue having your affairs with men.

I know the feeling (us being wrong and you being correct). But someday, you'd be an advocate of anti-gay campaigns.

Life is all about surviving. Not affection. If you're a threat, you'd be taken off.

If you feel threatened, then have as much kids as you want. There's room for that. If you like you can have 20 kids, and they can in turn have 20 each. No one cares. Leave gay people alone. We don't threaten your existence, and if you think we do, then there's really something wrong with you.

Sheesh!

Like I said, you feel you're right and every other person is wrong.

I wonder how a young guy like you, with p.rick feel attracted to another guy.

Maybe you should start by telling us why?

Dude, please you can unfollow this thread immediately. I never begged you to comment, neither am I after you. If you wanna know about me then go read my diary or read my posts from inception to date, if you are that bored.

Bye!

masonkz:


i actually haven't told them about that yet, which is another reason I moved. I want to be at a safe zone when i do tell them eventually, and not be sent "parking".

masonkz...i dont think u av to tell ur parents u ar gay....d reactn may be killin....and u will still need family support one time or d oda...a ghanaian friend of mine almost committed suicide due to such vilificatn...u know d disposition towards such here in ds country....asexuality is better condoned.
wen d pressure begins to mount abt marriage etc and dey sense u dont av any interest....dey may jst find out systematically...and d rxn wil be milder

.......and den dey may be willin to lend sime form of support even tho doesnt work

masonkz:


Smh. And you think it's a status thing for one to be gay?? I'd blame this on your ignorance.

No one chooses to be gay, especially not in a nation like the one we live in.

Thanks.

why do u keep explainin to pple.....u think dey wil eva undstand

masonkz:


I'm not rich. Anyone holding a comfortable post in any of the multinationals should be able to afford a mini flat at Oniru and still live comfortably. Young people my age and less are living there, and other ok places in Lagos.

Thanks though.

Bruh pls do you have any idea how much a miniflat costs (including agency fees and all) in Oniru? Thinking of moving there soon. Cheers...and by the way it is very ok that you have moved out at the age of 24 cos it shows independence and maturity on your part. Nice one.

yeah,thanks masonkz for once again ,successfully, pulling 2geda all the educated but yet bigoted illiterates of nairaland in a single post,bravooo!!!!

well-done bruv,u've really out-done yourself this time!

i've been following from the sidelines .

You better stop behaving like a spoit child. A child refusing to suck breast milk.

There's a reason this place is called a Public Forum. And you can't tell who should or should not comment because u don't own it.

Forget your diary because if your 'problems' (I see it as a problem) were stated there, this title should have reflected your need for an advice. Heck, you did not ask for an advice for quit being gay. Instead a public approval to have a space and 'discover' your sexuality!

Did you not know that mentioning your sexual orientation (gay) would attract comments and different interpretations? Or you want us to pat you?

Take a poll of the responses here and see those who have a reservation about your sexual orientation.

I'll ask again.

Why gay?

Why attracted to MEN?

What's your emotional and SEXUAL benefits in a gay relationship?

opensecret001:

Mason, your decision to move isn't faulted. Our parents always have problems with our logic, they always "know" better. With time, they'll come to accept your decision.
It's sad that people have hijacked this thread for their homophobic logic...

Lawd have mercy!. It AMAZES me that you think I owe you an explanation about my life.

Read the title of the thread again, read the initial post again, then respond accordingly.


I do hope you stop quoting me.

Leave goshap... I hope to have nothing to do with him on this forum again. That's how much I've come to hate his persona.
