Genetic test may predict homosexuality with 70% reliability

Because unless it's a mutation then it would be a trait passed down through reproduction.


This dichotomy does not make any sense to me. There are many genetic variables which have nothing to do with mutation. I think you might start by reading the link.

But regardless, if something is passed down to an offspring during it's parents' reproduction, wouldn't that have the exact same implications here?
Because it would be a nonsensical concept to say something passed down to a human during reproduction would be a "sin". That would be like saying when alcohol or drug addiction is passed down to a fetus in the womb, that the fetus is committing a sin by accepting what was passed down.

The American Indian has a terrible problem with alcohol and it's genetic...

It is not a sin anymore than a blind child is a sin.

Brown eyes

According to this, eye color is determined by genetics...

There are several genes which influence the color of a person's eyes. As a general rule brown eyed genes are often dominant and blue eyed genes tend to be recessive. These factors of genetic dominance are added to the complex genetic equation that our bodies use to determine our eye color.

So in this case if alcohol is genetic, how could alcoholism passed down to that Indian be a sin? Does God think that Indian fetus should somehow reject it? How would a fetus go about doing that?
If that's the case, then we need to get Michelle Bachman and her husband on this so they can convert that fetus away from alcoholism in the womb. And convert him off queer too.

Does racism stem from low intelligence? It's not entirely clear, though recent research found links between bigoted thinking and low scores on I.Q tests. But a new study points to an even deeper explanation for xenophobia and intolerance.

It suggests that prejudice is programmed into our genes.

But of course that also raises the question about why Jesus converted water into wine.  Doesn't that make Jesus be an enabler no different than the bartender?

Apparently the Baptists and methodists believe that because they serve grape juice at communion instead of wine. They don't want to be enablers like jesus.

William Shockley was a racist. But if he had a low IQ I don't know how he could have managed to invent the transistor.

Actually nature is rather easy to interpret if you just watch it. When a male lion takes a pride away from another male he immediately kills the young lions from the previous dominant male. The females go into estrous and he mates with all of them and has his own young. It means his DNA will go forth. Likewise Germanic men want to breed with Germanic women and keep their DNA pure and continue the strength of the breed. It has been found that mix race breeds are more likely to be unstable and criminal. Of course the DNA thing is a simplification.



IQ by race...

Wow that lion is committing sins galore.  I imagine there will be a special place in hell for him.  
But if I was that old devil I'd be careful.  He might end up the same way Roy did with the lion's jaws around his throat and the lion kicking HIM into the eternal hellfire.  
Or was it Seigfried.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

A devil prowling around like a roaring lion and wanting to devour people is a whole lot scarier than that dude we usually see with the red skin and horns. That one looks like something dressed up for a gay halloween party.

Only problem is, Jesus done turned a whole lot of water into wine. So the staying sober part may be the deal killer.

Wrong.....this Germanic man bred with a Lithuanian and Polish/Belgium woman, and my strength of the breed got stronger. You know who else shared your nonsense......yea......the other little guy. Pure bred is weak and sickly.....mutts are strong and getting stronger.

By the way, is there anything in the Bible about Jesus himself drinking that wine he made? Or did he just get others drunk.

Well Halloween does deal with demons and devils...

And if after the flock drank the wine Jesus made, if they then got onto a goat and rode it slam into somebody on another goat, could Jesus be held liable?
Or does he have sovereign immunity like the government?

Matt:11:19
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is proved right by her deeds."

That makes jesus okay in my book.  If he ever stops by here I'll set him up with a Crown and water and we'll shoot the shit.
But don't tell the baptists.

Oh my your race pride is showing seaoat...Sorry I have to admit I was baiting you. I love when you go full Hitler

Logical....Seaoat believes mutts are better, and I am compared to Hitler. oh my.

No you weren't compared to Hitler you just like to run to him to insult others. As far as race mixing I haven't seen much in the way of negatives. The offspring are attractive and seem quite healthy so why not....One guy I read a lot has provided some data against mixed race breeding but he's a Jew and I think he may be prejudiced...

Not sure I understand.  If it is genetic,  and your genes determine what your sexual orientation is,  why would it be diminishing?

Here are some theories... so I guess it could be genetic: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26089486

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/10/10/color-blindness.aspx?e_cid=20151010Z1_DNL_art_2&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art2&utm_campaign=20151010Z1&et_cid=DM87237&et_rid=1163526958

This condition is often inherited, passed from mother (who is typically a carrier of the gene but not color blind herself) to son, in which case it will occur in both eyes. Color vision deficiency caused by injury or illness, which is less common, may impact just one eye.
