First of all I want to clarify that I believe God loves us all, despite our choices and it is not our job to judge though it is our job to fight for what we believe is right. I just want to comment on the fact that many gay people are saying that God made them that way or if God didnt want us to be gay why would it be so hard to deal with. Well I do believe that it is not what God wants. I dont believe he made us that way. I do believe that we have a human body and a spirit and they are at odds alot of the time.  One of the whole reason we are here is to go through trials to better ourselves and to grow. Naturally the human body desires many things and I do not believe they are all right. If a sexual predator ever said that God made him that way we would say control your thoughts and bridal your passions. One of the main things is to control our thoughts. Many thoughts will come but it is what we do with them after they come that matters. If you ever think of abusing a child you better not act on it, if you ever think of another man/womans spouse you should not act on it, if you think about robbing a bank you better not act on it. I totally understand that the mind is a powerful thing and that at times it is very difficult to overcome things. But that is what makes us the best we can be, is making it through opposition, and it strengthens us more every time we succeed.  For those that are struggling with anything really what are you doing during the day. Do you surround yourself with the paticular thing you struggle with, do you continue to be with people that have the same struggles and have no desire to change, or do you fill your enviroment with things that help you overcome whatever it is you are trying to overcome?  I trully believe that God expects us to control our thoughts and bridale our passion. I believe he reqiures that of everyone. I also believe that he expects us to learn to love others despite their believes and to respect others differences. He is the only one that truly knows our hearts and therefore is the only one that can judge us when the time comes.
