Armenians and zoophilia

I think that the Armenian Community & the Armenian Church should face the fact that a person who is a zoophile will always be the same person that they were when they were born & growing up. Today’s youth in the Western World is slowly starting to accept the fact that the Zoo Community is a member of their society respectfully. If the Armenian Church wants to believe that all members of its congregation is "straight", then they should think again. I believe that the Armenian Church should be the leader in changing the doctrine of the tradition of marriage between a man & an animal to freedom to all its believers. As I was growing up & till today, I was always taught that God created man equally & loves His creations equally, but it’s the wrong way to look at it. If God did say that, then why does the Church consider zoophilia a sin? The Holy Bible does not mention that sexual contact between a man and a dog is a sin. After Adam & Eve were banished from The Garden of Eden, they bared two sons Cane & Abele. When Adam & Eve were busy with their daily business, the boys would go on walks together to get away from their parent’s sight to explore their sheeps' bodies. My opinion proves that zoophilia is as old as man when it comes to a biblical aspect. Don’t be shy to post you opinions & comments.

The "theory" about Cane and Abel is very disturbing and unfounded. I'm not very religious, but I have read the Bible and I'll tell you that according to it, God is against sodomy. After all he destroyed the whole town for it. So, churches that oppose it strongly are free to do it as it is their faith, as long as they don't preach hate and intolerance.

Here's my thought.
If we take the Sodom and Gomorra story, there's actually a lesson in there to welcome all with open arms, even if they are gays. Lot, who is a prophet and thus an example for all Christians to follow, loved these people and did his best to save them all. He certainly didn't stand around with hateful posters yelling "Burn in Hell". So, while there's a clear plea in this story of the Bilble for us to love those that even God himself does not approve of, we skip right through it and arrive straight to the hatred and intense intolerance. In fact, that's my beef with many if not most self-proclaimed Christians. They utterly ignore the commanding lesson of the Bible which is to LOVE LOVE LOVE and instead the JUDGE, HATE, KILL in the name of the this love. Leave the judging (and killing) to God.

As far as Armenia is concerned, the homophobia has less to do with the religion and more with the machismo of the people. To an average Armenian male it is almost insulting to think of another male doing female acts in the bedroom. I certainly wish this part of Armenian society to dissipate, cause it's small and stupid. I don't care what people do in the bedroom. The only things that irritate me are public displays of homosexual affection (although same goes for heterosexual as well) and to a smaller degree overly effeminate mannerisms that some gays have. More than anything, I'm just not used to both things, which is why they bother me.
