A priest serves a function in his group that increases group cohesion and the likelihood of shared genes surviving

Not all religious institutions require or encourage celibacy

Then again

By your definition

Orthodox priests marry and have lots of children

I'm not arguing for, or against. Just asking the question.

I would argue that catholic priests are currently degenerate

A celibate priest is acting in a way that will increase the likelihood that his genes will survive, because his siblings, cousins, and entire extended family which shares genes that belong to his group benefit from priests promoting social norms in the group

I see.

Also the term degeneracy doesn't apply to the absence of good behavior. It is used to identify behavior that is similar to good behavior but misses the mark

But snake is right

No.

So gay sex is like regular sex but it misses the possibility of producing offspring

It's the signs of decline.

what i've learned from this server is that "degeneracy" is anything you don't like and can't think of any actual argument against

Evidence of decline.

Gay sex has many issues.

Which is subjective.

@ham addition libtard

@ham addition well I just joined tonight but I think my case for it is quite coherent

1: Unhealthy
2: Symptom of the breakdown of social morality.
3: Fucking gross

Degeneracy is whatever one views as the evidence of decline.

Inherently hedonistic

In a sense gay sex is very close to being a procreative act, but the factor that keeps it from being procreative is what makes it degenerate

Where did you pull evidence of decline from?

The dictionary.

@Snakeisninja are you a fag

@Deleted User no lol

<:hmmm:459545659972911114>

What if the gay people did procreate?

What if pigs flee

@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 they don't/can't

Flew

Uh...

That's what makes it degenerate

@Deleted User what makes gay sex any less healthy than straight sex

Well, I could have sex with a woman.

If they could it wouldn't be degenerate

And have a baby

Degeneracy is the use of a thing in contradiction to it's telos
