None of the christians I know (and I have an extensive family of them - over 30 aunts and uncles, over 70 cousins - most of which are "the christian right") advocate "curing," killing, harassing, altering, coercing, or otherwise effecting any kind of change in homosexuals.
This silly stereotype comes from Hollywood and a few baptist whackos who don't understand what christianity is.
I'm a Jesus freak; ask the avowed homosexuals on this board how much I've harassed them.

I simply do not give a shit (and neither do the christians I know or have listened to or met) about the existence of homosexuals.
What angers me, if anything, is the forced indoctrination of second graders that homosexuality is a valid choice when all the hype is that homosexuals are born that way. If it's genetic, why the indoctrination to choose? Leave my kids out of it and let them develop on their own.

Actually, a fallacy is a component of an argument that is demonstrably flawed in its logic or form, thus rendering the argument invalid in whole, except in the case of begging the question, a false analogy and other informal fallacies.
"If we genetically engineer out the homosexual gene, the Christian Right will put a seals of approval on your birth certificate."
Not fallacious at all. :gagh:

Fallacies do not require arguments.

In debate or rhetoric, the slippery slope is an argument for the likelihood of one event or trend given another.
An example:
"If we genetically engineer out the homosexual gene, the Christian Right will put a seals of approval on your birth certificate."
The argument takes on one of various semantical forms:
- In one form, the proposer suggests that by making a move in a particular direction, we start down a "slippery slope". Having started down the metaphorical slope, it appears likely that we will continue in the same direction (the arguer usually sees the direction as a negative direction; hence the "sliding downwards" metaphor).
- Another form appears more static, arguing that admitting or permitting A leads to admitting or permitting B, by following a long chain of logical relationships.
Not to mention the others you've committed. I don't think you are very familiar with debate.

An argument is a statement (premise) or group of statements (premises) offered in support of another statement (conclusion).Cranky Bastard said:
