10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: appsas

How in the world do you personally know that it's a choice?  I know what the Bible says, but that still doesn't mean that people could not be born this way.  I agree with you that sex should be between man and woman ... no argument there.  I also am completely aware of the whole story of Adam and Eve.  I'm not even saying that I think homosexuality is right ... what I'm saying is that with all of the million of developmental issues that occur in-utero, why can't this be one of them?  I have had many heart to heart conversations with gay friends about this issue, and they all tell me they have felt that something was different from a very young age.  These people come from good homes, no abuse or trauma, etc.  It's okay to not agree with homosexuality and ALSO say ... I just don't know for sure if it's a choice ... because really, none of us knows for sure!!!
Oh yeah? How do you know what God wants? can I come alone the next time you two have a sit down?

10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: riviera

I think being gay is genetic but not a good thing. I don't think it is normal or should ever be considered normal but a biological defect like mental illness. As so many people say they wouldn't choose it .  

A lot of people have experimented with bi-sexuality in their youth thinking gay sex is ok.  

I think if you are gay "that's nice" but I really don't care what you do in private.  I would like to know why so many married men go to parks to pay for sex with underage boys/ 

I would like to know why so many heterosexual marriages fail, why the divorce rate is over 50%, why so many heterosexual men prey on young girls, why they rape them and kill them. Why do heterosexuals do that?

10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: irishmom

The Bible CLEARLY states that homosexuality is a sin.  However, the Bible also clearly states that we should love EVERYONE, as does Jesus.  There were many people in Biblical times that sinned, but Jesus himself said, "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone".  I do not agree with homosexuality, but I have my own sins to worry about.  Who am I to judge another when I walk imperfectly?  If one of my children were to come to me and tell me they were gay, I would be very sad for them (for many reasons, not just because of the fact that they are gay, but because it is such a hard lifestyle to live, in part because of all the hatred toward them), but I would LOVE them NO differently.   So-called Christians who HATE gays and treat them unkindly are not Christians at all in my opinion. 

Those who suffer from mental retardation are going to hell too? They do not love God, they do not repent their sins or pray. They are born with the same defficiency as homosexuals. What a cruel God you worship, bringing life into the world in a certain way then condemning them to hell for being exaclty how you created them.

Quote From: mommyjenna

 We know what God wants for us because he gave us the Bible.

No he didn't. God gave muslims the Koran because he is the author of the Koran, therefore Muslims can safely say they know what God wants. Who's the author of the Bible?

Quote From: mommyjenna

 The divorce rate is high because people don't care about God's laws anymore.

10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: mommyjenna

 Why would people who are MR not be able to love God? I've met a few who do? 

Besides, if they don't have the capacity, I'm sure God will accept them just the same.

I don't believe God anyone to be gay.  I believe the compulsion is so strong that they feel they have no choice. 

I believe in a loving God. If the God I worship condemns people for being exactly how he created them, then I need to find a new God to worship.

Maybe alot of men or women were hurt by their girlfriends or boyfriends and thats why they turned gay, or where abused by the same sex growing up, I dont know.

10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: appsas

I don't think I've said anywhere that I know what God wants.  Again, I'm simply saying that we can be born with every possible developmental issue in the world ... why is being gay the only exclusion?  It's just a possiblilty.  Nice sarcasm though.  You might also consider that if a man is not physically attracted to a woman, that simply making the 'choice' to be attracted to her isn't going to work ... mechanically speaking.  Just a thought.
re read your post. You and your righteous self claim to live in the right way because you know what God wants. Thinking you know what God wants is the cause of your condescending attitude.

10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"

Quote From: melgibson

I just want to say this to you - we are created in God's image.  God is not gay and therefore it is sad that you and so many others think this will save you.  It is not to say that God does not love you - but he does not condone what you are doing.  We are all given FREE WILL - not a "gay gene".  I am pleased you had a good relation with your father/family.  But maybe you had bad expriences with cousins/kids at school - I would not even begin to guess - but your lifestyle is a sin.   

I will pray for you 

MG 

Yes, pray to your God for the homosexuals who are looked down upon by the self righteous Christians who blindly submit to a book with several authors written years after Jesus left us. Yes dear, go pray. Pray that society can finally accept everyone, that society will stop debating whether minorites will have equal rights.

What A cruel God you worship

I thought we covered that all human beings deserve equal rights when we went through the suffrage movement with women (the bible was used to say women belong in the home with no power), and with abolition movements (the bible was used to say slavery was just) but now we need to prove to you people again why homosexuals are no less of a human being than you are? Why would they choose this life when there are people like you in the world hating them and making them think they're wrong? I know a gay muslim and he is so upset because he thinks he is going to hell. What kind of a God do you peopel worship? A life of self loathing because they are not like you is what needs to happen?  

  

My God loves everyone. If two men live together happily in a monogamous relationship, work full time, do volunteer work, treat people they encounter with dignity and respect, are loved by so many people are the ones going to hell? MY God loves them and sees no error in their ways. 

  

Do the heterosexuals that engage in anal sex doomed for hell too? 

  

If I wrote a book now to guide my people and compiled stories and scriptures of what I see and tell the future generationst his is how to be a good ___(insert family name here) and put my current views in there. Okay, today Cyanide acid is lethal. So I would put a story in my book about how horrible cyanide acid is, and to stay away from it or you're going to hell. I would think in 3 thousand years my people would be intelligent enough to use reason (reason is what seperates us from the rest of the animal kingdon) to apply my book to current day issues. What if cyanide was a cure for cancer in 2 thousand years, and my people were too stupid to think for themselves and let their children die of cancer because I said cyanide was bad? 

  

Get the drift? 

  

THINK FOR YOURSELF!
