The American Psychological Association has concluded that, scientifically speaking, people are not born homosexual. (link)
Homosexual activity is a choice, the same way eating is a choice.
Not all choices are equal.
If you choose to eat filth, you will get horrible diseases and die. If you choose to have sexual relations outside of the bonds of traditional marriage, you will get horrible diseases and die.
Truth hurts.

I disagree so very very strongly. Sexual relations, ‘choices’ as you say, are all part of our individuality. Okay, so they are not born like that. But I wasn’t born liking the style of heavy jewlery and dark jeans either. Everyone grows differently. They have different tastes. In music, in clothing, in friendships, in sex. It is just the way of life. You think that everyone in all of history has been straight and traditional? There were no homosexuals in Jesus time? I think not. Homosexuality has been around before you were born, will be after you die. Its part of the uniqueness between individuals.

So you disagree with reality? That’s fine. You’ll have no one to blame but yourself when you are miserable, sick, and poor.
Choices are great too. Just remember that if you make bad choices, you suffer the consequences, as well as people around you. We may be able to make choices, but we cannot choose what the consequences of our choices will be. Nature (God) does that for us, with catastrophic effects if we make terrible choices—like that freak who thought it would be fun to hang out with bears in Alaska, until one ate him. Or those people who practice homosexual anal sex and contract AIDS. Or the people who practice sexual relations outside of marriage and wonder why their lives are miserable and no one loves them. Ot the people who condone the proper exercise of sexual practices and wonder why society is falling apart.
What you do with your sexual organs is a choice, a God-given (or natural) choice, and there are a lot of bad choices you can make. It is always a bad choice to have sexual relations outside of marriage. It helps no one. It hurts everyone, especially you, your partner, your spouse, your children, and society.

By the way, just because something exists doesn’t mean it is good. Yes, homosexuals exist. So do murderers, thieves, and tyrants. Does that mean we should tolerate them?
May 20, 2009 at 12:17 pm |
Yes, they do exist. All of the criminals you listed. And yes, to an extent we should tolerate them. For they are people too. Because they live differently then you they shouldn’t be tolerated? Well that’s ridiculous. I am not homosexual, I am not sleeping outside of a marriage, I am not any of the so called ‘sins’ you listed directed at me. I simply wanted to inform you that there is no hope, and absolutely no possible change in a completely closed mind.

So, if a murderer roams around our streets, we should tolerate that? After all, the chances of him murdering anyone I care about are really low, right?

And another thing, because I happen to not judge people on the choices of their life and individuality, I am going to be miserable and sick? That’s a bit extreme. I do face reality. I just handle it differently then you.

Your conflating two things. We can’t judge people. (Only God can see and weigh a man’s heart.) We can judge actions. People who do bad things need to be stopped because bad things are bad. We don’t have to pass a moral judgment on the soul, just a moral judgment on the action.
I’m not saying we should punish anyone for being anything. We should punish people for doing bad things because the bad things are bad.

When do people ‘choose’ to be straight?
