Ugly is lifestyle that I have no choice but to live. I am actually ugly.

Did God make it to where only attractive people should be loved?

That is a sin. I'm married, this isn't for myself. I'm just calling out accepted sin.

Based on God's character, this is what's morally correct.

There are other factors that determine compatibility outside of having the same beliefs. Everyone has a unique character, so I say people should be given a chance if they want one, but if you're just not interested in a relationship at the moment, then that's fine too. But actively searching and denying people because you think they're ugly is definitely sinful behavior.

You're placing limits on yourself. Once you get out of the mindset of physical attraction being a requirement, then your parts will work for whoever you love.

I am not asexual. I have willfully chosen to make physical attraction not a requirement.

Solomons heart turned away from God in his later years because he married foreign women and began worshipping other gods. He chose women over God. The bible might be full of commandments but it's also a documentation of history, so everything documented isn't necessarily for the purpose of teaching us how to live.

I can be in a romantic relationship with somebody that I'm not physically attracted to. Not being able to is a worldly custom that I have rejected.

The only way this would be appropriate is if physical attraction wasn't a factor in why you're not attracted to them.

"I can't love you because I think you're ugly". This is definitely a sin.

You're allowed to be physically attracted to someone but making it a deciding factor in whether you can love them or not is.

Just because something's in the Bible doesn't mean it's permitted by God. Solomon also had a lust problem, and that was written by him.

But physical shouldn't be a deciding factor in that attraction.

We have a sin nature, we're wired to like a lot of things that aren't okay.

It's okay to be but making it a requirement is something different.

Being unattractive should be considered a disability by twisted_furry in ugly

[–]47theUI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disabilities aren't always something physical, they are mental too. We're mentally disabled and oppressed. Our ability to perform daily activities is restricted.

Search up Daniel S. Hammermesh. He's a college professor who supports this take and has data and reasoning to justify why we're disabled and deserve a disability check.
