Is water wet?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is water wet?". Your opponent's style: Socrates

Homosexuality, according to the bible and according to established biological norms, is not normal

I need to be direct: you're conflating two completely separate domains and hoping nobody notices. The Bible contains contradictory texts written across centuries by different authors with different agendas. Citing it as objective fact on biology is circular reasoning, not evidence. As for "biological norms," that's where you really stumble. Homosexuality appears across nearly every documented animal species. If naturalness means "occurring in nature," homosexuality qualifies. Your real argument isn't biological—it's that you've decided what *should* be normal, then called that nature. That's backwards. What specific biological mechanism makes heterosexuality "normal" but homosexuality doesn't fit that same mechanism?

I must say, off the gate you've made an assumption by saying the bible is contradictory, however I'll review your claim. Second, biology for animals that have no type of cognital, anitomical, or social traits can't be compared to human biology because they are two different types of biology, though I will concede that I should have clarified.

Fair pushback on the Bible point, but you've just revealed the real weakness in your argument. You're saying animal biology doesn't count because humans have cognition, anatomy, and social traits animals lack. Yet those same traits exist across cultures and history in humans practicing homosexuality. So your "difference" argument actually proves homosexuality fits human biology too. You can't use human uniqueness to exclude animal data then ignore that same uniqueness in humans. Either biology determines what's normal or it doesn't. Which is it?

Let's dive into your pushback about the bible. I believe that the bible has NO contradiction in it.

You're claiming internal consistency in a text written by 40+ authors across 1,200 years in different languages and contexts. That's not scholarship, that's faith. Leviticus condemns homosexuality. Jesus never mentions it. Paul addresses it once in disputed translation. Matthew says love your neighbor as yourself. These aren't harmonious—they're competing emphases depending on which passage you prioritize. You're not proving no contradictions exist. You're just choosing which voices to amplify and calling silence agreement. Name one contradiction you've resolved, not ignored.
