Taken from a manuscript in one of my live debates in which you can listen to going to J.Talks to the people YouTube channel.


For the sake of time, I'm posting it so pardon the format.



I'll have an introduction. Uh what I have to say isn't really there's not really much to it. It's pretty straightforward.


Uh so so basically in cons in regards to this topic uh I I say that homosexuality as well as asexuality and really any sexuality

that's not heterosexuality is a disorder.


It is basically a disorder

meaning that it's it's inconsistent the sexuality.... um individuals that use their what you could call sexual organs

or sexual reproductive organs and the functions thereof are not consistent

with the anatomical or biological or

physical makeup of the person.


So a the like the male the the physical uh male organs that are used in homosexuality and and sexual sexual acts and sexual activities. how they are used is not consistent in regards to or not coherent in regards to their their their structure their their physical makeup.



It's just like if you you know a few examples if you would use like

a the structure of a toaster.


A toaster has one slot of that

toaster is structured for one slice of bread.


Not multiple slices, two or three

slices in that slot. Or like a what do you call it?


Like your like a left shoe doesn't go on the right foot. or a like a motor vehicle, the gear selector.


You may notice that the gear selector, if you have it, for instance, if that gear selector is is selecting, you have it in the position of R and the vehicle drives

forward.


Well, that's not consistent in what it's set up to do in that layout.....or if it reverses when you have it in a position that's between the P and the R and it

reverses that's incoherent. And you have another illustration of let's say like a an appliance remote or a TV remote that has

buttons and it's set up to give a particular function and when you press that button it's incoherent to what it's set up to do.


So I mean that's pretty much my introduction as far as this topic is concerned.

Pro claims that asexuality is a disorder, but Jesus was asexual.


Pro just asserts that being homo is disordered with no proof. Pro uses circular logic. Pro makes it sound like homosexuality is a disorder in and of itself but just uses this assumption to prove the point.

Ok. No rebuttals were given to any of my points. Just critiques.


Thanks to the opposing side for making it easy.

I rest my case.



You'll need to present actual proof that it is a disorder.


Is the action unnatural? Maybe.


Is the attraction disordered? Depends what disordered means.

"You'll need to present actual proof that it is a disorder."



All was presented in the first round chief.

So you need to actually debunk everything I said in the first round and disprove it being true.


You gave nothing to demonstrate all that I've said is not true.



"Is the attraction disordered? Depends what disordered means."


Explained all in the first round with the illustrations I gave.


Take a week , think of counterpoints.


I rest my case.


Homosexuality just prevents humans, who are already disordered, from being formed.


All DNA has some mutations in it, which are disordered.


Heterosexual intercourse creates gay kids.


Homosexuality prevents disorders from being spread.

Yes, since homosexuality became “legal” in the US, the new punishment has become homosexuality itself. Imagine engaging in sodomy like that.

Like in what sense? Romans 1 addresses that its when God gives people over to a reprobate mind to do things inconvienent, so technically its a disorder? Or spiritually?

This is a tie because neither side met their bop.

PRO R1: Compares homosexuality to things like putting on shoes on the wrong foot and toasters. The thing that is missing is why does misusing a bodily function translate into a mental disorder? This was never actually presented.
Con R1: This was completely irrelevent to the topic. The topic is about homosexuality, not asexuality.
R1 Pro correclty points out that con failed to engage with their arguments

This is a tie becacuse neither side actually met their burden of proof.
