Quote From: pbdaviswhy does religion have to play such a large part in this topic. If there is a God do you really think he is so concerned about 2 women sleeping together? Perhaps if people were less worried about other peoples' private lives and more concerned about ways to make this world a better place, clean air, food for everyone, jobs, the homeless etc... people would be happier.
If you aren't gay then you don't know if it is a choice or not! I believe people are born either straight or gay, and whatever you are is cool with me!
We were left with a book of instructions that has 66 books. This book covers every aspect of life, no matter how insignificant we think it is. So, what does it say about homosexuality?
Romans1, starting with 18th verse: (18) For God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way ...(24) Therefore God, in keeping with the devices of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them (25) even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created ... (20) That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; (27) likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving to themselves the full recompense which was due for their error...(32) Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them. I implore you to read the entire chapter so that no one will say that this was taken out of context. Please note that those that consent with these practices are as guilty as those actually carrying out these acts.
This is not anything new. These same practices existed in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and both cities were destroyed by God. Read the account of Lot and his family. Where do you think the word "Sodomy" comes from? The angels of God who were sent to warn Lot were attacked by the homosexuals of the city. Lot offered his virgin daughters, but they refused them stating they wanted to have sex with the angels. Even after being blinded by the Angels they groped for the doors of Lot's home trying to get to the Angels.
As a society we have become very lax on caring what God wants from his creation. We are little by little indoctrinated or brainwashed into accepting practices that are very much in violation of God's word.
We are all free to choose what we want to believe or accept. I, for one, accept God's Word and accept it as my guideline. Judgment is not up to me. What I have quoted is directly from God's Word. Each one of us must answer for our actions.
(Original Air Date: 10/19/05) Sexual orientation used to be something kept hidden from family and co-workers, but now more and more people are "coming out" and finding acceptance. Anjela says her mother and sister don't support her sexual orientation, and feel she can't be Christian and gay at the same time. Can they reconcile this touchy issue? Then, two men debate whether a person can go from gay to straight, and parents of a 4-year-old boy fear their son's desire to play with dolls and wear heels means he'll grow up to be gay. Are they overreacting to his wishes to be a princess instead of a prince? Talk about gender and gay issues here.
