Really? You think sodomy is God's plan, if this is the case why did He go out of his way to forbid it? Why did he destroy Sodom and Gomorrah?
Man sinned in the Garden and homosexuality is a sin that some CHOOSE to commit, this is Satan's plan.
The gay gene would cause a firestorm. What will you do with gay people who don’t have the gene?
That’s why we will just stay with the “born that way because I feel that way” belief because.......science.
Here are some other things that exist. Are they part of God's plan, because they exist? Polio, ebola, cancer, eczema, pneumonia, scabies, addiction, leprosy, allergies, psoriasis, retinosis pigmentosa, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, neurosis, psychosis...
God gave us free will. Temptations, obsessions and wrong actions that hurt others happen in this world because it is the domain of the devil, who lures us into sin and disorder. God will judge us for eternity for our response to the earthly situations into which we are born or thrown, and the choices we make.
Gays aren't the only ones who must channel their drives and limit their sexual actions. For instance, many heterosexuals are born with a high sex drive; but if they want to be in a right relationship to God, they confine it to marriage and do not give in to promiscuity, porn or rape, even if they are single, divorced or widowed.
Homosexuality almost always results from being raped as a child by a same sex family member or same sex friend of the family.
**In his research, Bailey and other scientists examined the DNA of 400 men who described themselves as homosexual. Ultimately, the researchers concluded that homosexuality cannot be traced to specific genes. **
Just as celibacy is a decision by a man or a woman, so is homosexuality a DECISIION by a man or a woman.
I believe it is connected to the family, particularly the role of the mother in that family.
“No, G-d said we were likely to sin,”
Poor design?
Free will.
” To which another pundit replied by pointing out that blood doesnt come in molecules. “
Molecules are the basic building blocks of matter. Molecules consist of combination of atoms. Everything consists of molecules except for the distinct atoms as listed on the periodic chart.
And what do you mean by being “part of God’s plan”? Does that mean that it is a positive thing? If the requirement for being part of God’s plan is mere existence, then can we say that murder is part of God’s plan? And does that mean that murder is a good thing?
I don’t think your logic holds up.
“Free will.”
Even with free will, a good design would not chose to perform evil acts.
I guess you’ll have to take that up with the Creator.
Perhaps; but most heterosexuals can remember "choosing" whether to have unmarried sex in a variety of situations, singly or with a member of the opposite sex. Most can remember that for whatever reason, they chose to go ahead when they knew it was wrong, or to resist until or unless it was right, such as being with a person to whom one is thoroughly committed (this latter is admittedly on a sliding scale since the 60s, down from virgin marriage, to a mere agreement between consenting adults).
If a person is not what you call a thorough heterosexual, why would people who populate the clinical observations of the past several decades before gayness has been "cool" reveal their uncertainty unless they had an overwhelming desire to commit social suicide among potential hetero mates? They might discuss sex role anxiety with a counselor, but even if they resolved it to the point of marrying or having children, would not be eager to advertise such doubts. As part of resolving it, they might even create a benign denial or self-forgiveness for having been tempted to transgress due to past abuse, neglect or bullying.
So, can "research" into the labels of sexuality ever be 100% accurate? The pure scientific model cannot escape the issue you raised earlier: the role of free will in self-image and behavior.
After the past 20 years of relentless gay propaganda, it's a certainty that demographers will see a "puzzling" rise in the incidence of "gay identity." It will be a crock; but they will never have lived in a time when society was safe in frowning on unhealthy, disordered behaviors.
“I guess youll have to take that up with the Creator.”
He is not returning my calls.
“Man sinned in the Garden and homosexuality is a sin that some CHOOSE to commit, this is Satan’s plan. “
Who created Satan?
Keep trying.
Yes. That's particularly galling to me and others who lived through the early days of the 60s assault on American values in which feminists routinely chanted "Biology is not destiny!" when demonstrating for unlimited access to birth control, abortion, and an end to "sex roles" in marriage, or the end of marriage itself as a "patriarchal, oppressive institution." In fact, gay or bisexual women have largely formed the leadership of the National Organization for Women and other lefty feminist lobbies. Yet GBLT's see themselves in the same leftist camp with feminists.
Very good, except that there’s no such thing as a “molecule” of blood. Blood is a heterogeneous substance comprised of many different molecules which are not tied together by molecular bonds. Consider a house. A house is an entity comprised of wood, bricks, nails, wires, pipes, etc. Yet there’s no single component of that entity that can be defined as “house.”
