This may not be the thread for it but I must ask, since the purpose of sex is reproductive and pleasure is to encourage the notion of reproduction, what exactly is wrong with BDSM so long as the sex involved is being used for its intended purpose?
Serious question, should homosexuals be put to death?

The death penalty is perfectly legitimate, hippie

Catechism of the Council of Trent
The power of life and death is permitted to certain civil magistrates because theirs is the responsibility under law to punish the guilty and protect the innocent. Far from being guilty of breaking this commandment [Thy shall not kill], such an execution of justice is precisely an act of obedience to it. For the purpose of the law is to protect and foster human life. This purpose is fulfilled when the legitimate authority of the State is exercised by taking the guilty lives of those who have taken innocent lives.
In the Psalms we find a vindication of this right: “Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all evildoers from the city of the Lord” (Ps. 101:8).
Your heart, filled with malice, wants people to reject just punishments.
Jose Wilson
So do you not believe any crimes ought to be punished by the state? If it's okay for the state to punish murder, why do you draw the line at the state punishing prohibited sex acts? Just secular libertarian reasoning about it being victimless? Was Moses wrong to punish these acts, as God told him to? And if not when did punishing these acts become wrong?
Jonathan Evans
I’m against the death penalty, actually. If you guys would drop your medieval larping crusade fantasies for just a minute, you will notice that capital punishment does not deter criminal activity and potentially results in the execution of innocent people. Who cares about what ancient Israel and Moses did; they acted under the direct authority of God. You are placing a secular government in the position of God by saying that they have the power to execute criminals. Again, we should punish people, but killing them in this day and age is just not expedient.
Aiden Cruz
Not what I asked, but okay. What other laws would you support to restrict homosexual acts, then? Assuming a Christian government and majority Christian population.
Adrian Watson
yes

Read Romans 13.

If you had a gun and I was tied against the wall, would you shoot me? I haven't had so much as a kiss in terms of sexual, just the thoughts.
Would you shoot me? Would you get someone else to shoot me?
Andrew Ramirez
For some reason Christians are for corporal punishment, but i don't think homosexuals should be put to death, part of the difference between God and Satan is that God gives you a choice.
Connor Price
The state has responsibilities that clearly fall under the "give to Caesar" clause. Fags are poison to society and should not be tolerated in any healthy society. Christians should help conflicted gays, but the ones that are open about it should be subject to whatever the state determines needs to be done about them.
The current pedo situation could have been prevented if people would socially quarantine fags.
