Some people have a genetic tendency to become alcoholic, some have a genetic tendency to gluttony, some have a tendency to steal, some have a genetic tendency to fornication. Yes, that inherent sin nature IS a real problem that must be overcome.

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 you’re the Massacheutts Supreme Court–to 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 presumption–that homosexuals were physiologically heterosexual. I am always open to differing views, yet he offered no explanation. In postmodernism one need not waste syllables buttressing one’s views—verbalizing 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 perspectives—first, 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 phenomenon—a legitimate alternative to Mankind’s 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 people—which 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 woman’s body changes through a series of preparations. Her vagina lengthens for a distinct reason. Her body, equipped with Bartholin’s 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 sin—a universal condition unconfined to homosexuals; one hundred percent of the world’s population are sinners. "…for all have sinned and come short of God’s 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?
Try clicking the links.
And you cannot prove that God doesn't exist, either. You cannot claim the high ground by claiming that your particular viewpoint is the one which others must disprove. Your say-so is not empirical proof either. It is not the Christian who must prove that God exists, it is the Atheist such as yourself which must prove that He doesn't. Because if He does, you're screwed. If He doesn't, the only harm done to us is to have believed in a myth, and acted accordingly.
To look around you and see all the incredible complexity of the cosmos, and to then state that it all "just happened" by random chance requires much more faith in unprovable ideas than to accept the self-evident proof that there must be an intelligence behind the design, and therefore a Designer. The burden of proof is on you!
Well this link, A Pro-Family Organization Advocating for the Traditional Family, the Protection of Children and Proclaiming the Truth About Homosexuality, National Ministry Offices, is one of those bias groups.
It is really sad that so many groups on both sides are so blinded by their bias that they prefer to use emotion to rule their views instead of logical scientific analysis.
So they view the stories that are in the OT as serperate to the NT.
Point to me where that is stated in the FR FAQ.
They can still present it in a bias manner, plus the studies themselves can be bias.
Some things are so obviously to-the-bone wrong and evil they deserve nothing better than immediate rejection and condemnation. The homosexual lifestyle and so-called gay marriage are two such abominations.

Well you remind me of the useful idiots, alway accepting anything that is feed to you by your peers, that Stalin used to commit his evil acts.
I have read some of these studies, the way they work on BOTH sides of the issue is that those who make these studies exclude anyone that does not fit their opinion pf the results of the study and then they present their studies as fact. BOTH SIDES DO THIS!!
Studies are like political polls in that they are usually rigged.
This merely validates my point about the difference between the OT and the NT and how people view both of them.
