If gays were born gay, were pedophiles born pedophile? What's the difference in the attractions and desires that these two groups feel? Don't explain to me that one is between adults and one with underaged children and that's why one of them is right and the other wrong. My question is, if one is born with sexual feelings to be gay, is one also born with sexual feelings towards children or animals.
If being gay is not a choice, are alcoholism, obesity, smoking, etc, not choices as well?
If someone is born pre-disposed to these "abnormalities", are they forced into doing them, or do they CHOOSE to act upon them?
Are surgical gender reassignment individuals uncomfortable at birth with their sex, or are their feelings generated as a result of society and their environment?
Would our creator be so cruel as to cause confusion? 1 Corinthians 14:33. NO.
I know someone with diabetes. She craves sweets like they're going out of style. She has a strong desire just as strong as gays have a desire and nymphomaniacs have a desire. Infants are born with diabetes. Do they have a choice to refrain from the activity of eating sweets as they grow older? Yes, even though they were born with these "defects", they can turn things around.
These are nothing but excuses, "I was born this way, God made me this way, I've tried to change but I can't." Yessssssssss, Youuuuuuuu Cannnnnnnnn. Weren't you ever told that you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up? Sometimes it takes years to overcome addictions and OCD activities. It's like a diet or lifestyle change, if you give up, it's because you had no intentions of ever following through or completing the task.
Are you being serious? I'm assuming your heterosexual. If you don't know how homosexuals feel, how can you speak for them? Let me ask you this. Would you be able to turn into a homosexual? What if being straight was not considered to be "normal" and you were pressured to "turn gay"? Could you? Seriously put yourself in a gay person's shoes. Being gay is something you ARE. There's a difference between choosing which career you want and who you are attracted to.
