You keep arguing a non-point. Since you don't actually READ my posts, I'll say it again. MAny, many gays are NOT actually gay...they were trained that way.

Some, however, ARE. Not EVERYONE can be changed.

BTW - how do you feel about Hermaphrodites. They're out there. Breasts, penis, vagina...the whole works. Just the way God made them. How do THEY fit into your "small little box".?

In fact, in college, I did a paper on a small island in which due to a VERY rare genetic disorder, 10-15% of the children are born female. At puberty, they become male. How do THEY fit into your tiny little box??

There are NO absolutes in nature. There is no "perfect genetic human". There is no "perfect" tree. There is no "perfect" anything. Life does NOT fit into your tiny little box - no matter HOW hard you try to cram it.

For religious folks, you sure don't understand God or this universe.

It's true. In fact, we're flawed. Every one of us. That is the one doctrine of Christianity (The Fall of Man) which is proved on a daily basis. Just watch the news.

It takes an effort for ANYONE to abstain from morally offensive thoughts, words, and deeds. And not just in the realm of illicit sex, but also in relation to other issues like pride, anger, envy, gluttony, greed, laziness, and the one which brings down so many otherwise virtuous people, (ta-daaah!) self-righteousness.

That being said, every one of us is in charge of learning to master their own appetites, overcome their own flaws and weaknesses, and be reponsible for their own behavior. Nobody is "born to be gay" and more than they're born to be pastry chefs. Or bank embezzlers. Or sculptors. Or sluts.

It's always an interplay fo heredity, environment, grace, and choice.

Let's try to help each other be our best. That seems the most decent thing to do.

If you want to call your statement that "some are born gay" a non-point that's entirely up to you. That's what I'm arguing. Your "non-point" isn't supported by science but you KNOW some are born that way.

I've asked you to provide a reference, any reference, that supports you statement and you didn't. Well, you can't. You know it. I know it. And now everybody knows it.
