Cruel Joke or Medical Anomaly? Proponents of same-sex "marriage" owe us an answer

The Physiology of Mankind
"Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell ya, brother, you can't have one without the other." Neither can you have a marrriage without a man and a woman, unless youre the Massacheutts Supreme Courtto whom I ask the following question.
Why is one hundred percent of the homosexual population physiologically heterosexual?
When I asked that question before a group of university students, one said the question contained a presumptionthat homosexuals were physiologically heterosexual. I am always open to differing views, yet he offered no explanation. In postmodernism one need not waste syllables buttressing ones viewsverbalizing a belief automatically makes it factual. Hubert Humphrey said, "The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously." The student reminded me of a man who, on another occasion, steadfastly disagreed when I said that at conception the man determines the sex of the child. "Every man has a right to his own opinion, but he does not have a right to his own set of facts."
My statement regarding human physiology is neither sexist nor politically motivated. It is a fact.
Look at this statement from two perspectivesfirst, a theological perspective and second, a medical perspective.
If in fact God creates some people as homosexuals, we must conclude that God has played a cruel joke on them. He has engineered their minds and emotions for attraction to the same-sex and yet created their physiology to be in direct opposition to that attraction. Such an act would be malicious. Only a sadistic god would conceive and conduct such a horrific deed.
Look at the statement from a medical perspective! If homosexuality is a naturally occurring phenomenona legitimate alternative to Mankinds expression of sexuality, we would have to conclude that homosexuals bear severe physiological anomalies.
I am aware the previous conclusion may infuriate some; few things anger people more than uttering a logical thought. Truth has always angered peoplewhich is why some wise sage cautioned, "Tell the truth and run!"
But alas I do not believe the conclusion because I do not believe homosexuality to be moral.
If for no other reason, homosexuality is illegitimate in that it is anatomically unsuitable.
The Ingenuity of the Physical Body
Regardless from where you believe Mankind originated, we must agree that the human body is the work of a genius. How do we account for tear ducts that automatically flush the eye when a microscopic grain of sand invades them? Who can fathom how an arm or leg produces chill bumps, which in turn raises the hairs on those limbs in order to reduce the amount of body heat being expended by a cold wind?
These mysteries of the human body include libido. When sexually aroused, the womans body changes through a series of preparations. Her vagina lengthens for a distinct reason. Her body, equipped with Bartholins gland, produces lubrication for a distinct reason. More intricate than any scientific invention ever conceived or constructed, the outer third of her vagina swells with blood for a distinct reason. The Psalmist was correct--we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14)
But these incredible workings lead us to another question which refuses to be ignored--why would such physiological changes occur in homosexual women when the changes do nothing to assist sexual interaction?
One cannot simply dismiss the question as irrelevant. If God makes no mistakes, and He does not, what accounts for this dichotomy among homosexuals? If homosexuality is "natural" why the inappropriate and unnecessary body changes?
No legitimate answer exists. God desires each of us to become personally what He has created us to be physiologically, biologically and anatomically.
The Universality of Sin
The answer to why homosexuality exists is sina universal condition unconfined to homosexuals; one hundred percent of the worlds population are sinners. " for all have sinned and come short of Gods glory." (Romans 3:23)
And the answer to sin is Jesus Christ who, by the way, performed His first miracle during the marriage of a man and a woman.
The proponents of homosexual "marriage" appear to have all the answers. What say ye? Is this phenomenon a cruel joke or a medical anomaly?
Not one with comprehension skills.
The Jews don't have a different opinion on the OT and NT as I laid them out for you. For the Jew, the OT is about waiting for the promised Messiah, just as it is for the Christian. Their history is our history. If the Jews accepted the NT as the fulfillment, they would be Christians. I agree that their not accepting the NT means they do have a different interpretation of the work--but not in the way your comments connote.
Are you going to provide names, or do we have to take your word for it.
Ever hear of Stephen Bennett?

You either have really horrible comprehension skills, you're playing games or you're just trying to push the homosexual agenda. You appear to be blatantly misrepresenting what I say.
Don't do it again.
I wonder if you have read much of the tremendous mass of information that scripter has on his links. If you have read much of it, you will see that some homosexuals make the claim that they chose their life. Obviously not all, but some do make that claim.
BTW, an opinion, if based on personal emotion and not facts, is just that - an ill-informed opinion.
"Every man is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own set of facts."
I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that ill-informed opinions abound, but if they are not based on facts, wouldn't it be better to read up first and be truly educated about a subject before determining opinions?
And you're going from that to the claim that most chose their life? If you'll read my post carefully, I said or implied that probably some chose their life.
I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that ill-informed opinions abound, but if they are not based on facts, wouldn't it be better to read up first and be truly educated about a subject before determining opinions?
I'm not trying to be mean either, but it looks to me as if you are guilty of what you're accusing me of.
I suspect that when someone finds the definitive cause of homosexuality, it will be big news - but until then, all any of us has is opinion.
It is also my opinion, based on Romans 1:20-32, that as society becomes more sinful and turns away from God, God allows more sexual sins, including homosexuality. (If you'll read that section, however, you'll see that homosexuality is by no means the only sexual practice God disapproves of.)
I was asking a question.
Don't do it again.
If someone asking you a question is to extreme for you, then you won't make it long on FR.
Oh I forgot, asking you questions are to extreme for you.
That is the exact point I am trying to make.
I was not talking about 'government', read what I said, I was talking about 'trade'.
As far as Leonardo, he was a great artist and genius who unfortunately succumbed, from what I have read, to his homosexual attractions. Just imagine how much greater he would have been if his character and behavior had been more healthy and virtuous!
Well considering who he was rumored to sleep with, I doubt he would have gotten as far if he had be straight. Anyway, he was a genius who understood more about human nature than you or I. His codex and he studies on the human anatomy for example
Don't play games and don't misrepresent what I say.
I mistakenly thought you could put some things together for youself.
