In Sweden sex with animals is legal. To all atheists--Do you think it should be legal in the US??? If not, why not??? Man is just another animal anyway, isn't that right???

There are actually several US states where bestiality is legal. The legality of it doesn't mean people approve of it, it just means nobody has put a law on the books, probably because there is no need for one.
Bestiality has nothing to do with religion.
Atheists don't lust after animals. Man is just another animal, but if you look around at all the other animals, they're not crossing the species barrier either. When is the last time you saw a dog fucking horse?
You seem to spend a surprising amount of time worrying about bestiality. I never think about it. Which one of us do you think has the problem?
If you read the thread, he's talking more about how atheists lack a moral code, not that all atheists are goat-fuckers.
What I find interesting is that we find it fine to flay, skin, club, and gut an animal for it's meat and skin, but when it comes sex, that's a definate no-no.
Don't get me wrong, I'm against beastiality; it just seems kinda wierd.
True man is animal. But since the function of sex is for reproduction, and since we can't reproduce with different species for obvious biological reasons, I would say it's wrong. Both morally and biologically.
I think cruelity to animals covers the matter, we don't need individual laws about it.
it's true that we are animals ourselves, but other animals cannot give informed consent to sexual intercourse therefore it's not approrpiate to have sex with them.
Actually, that isn´t quite true.
We had laws controlling bestiality but they were removed when the new laws against animal torture was legislated.
The reasoning is condemning animal torture, and not sexual preferences (however unusual they may be).
Interestingly, the law that was removed (in 1944) was called the law against sodomy, which meant beastiality AND homosexuality.
That said, I believe that animal rights are far to few for animals in sweden (even though we are a vanguard in animal rights in the world).
Weeeeeell, we do have laws against animal cruelty. On the other hand, if laws are not enough to stop pedophilia, I doubt they will stop beastiality.
Hey asswipe, do you think pedophilia should be legal in the US??? If not, why not??? The bible never says a single word condemming the practice anyway, isn't that right???
Ever seen a turkey and a pig do it?
In the bible killing people of other religions is okay. To all christians--Do you think it should be legal in the US??? If not, why not??? It tells you to in the bible, isn't that right???
No. Because animals cannot consent.
The same with children. They're animals as well, but can't consent.
@ Adrian:
"True man is animal. But since the function of sex is for reproduction, and since we can't reproduce with different species for obvious biological reasons, I would say it's wrong. Both morally and biologically."
Careful. The fact that gays can't reproduce is one of the arguments they use against same-sex marriage.
Again Christians, Don't even try to pretend you have a higher moral code.
The evidence is overwhelmingly against that claim.
Confused?
