God condemns alot of things...but he also taught us to hate the sin, and love the sinner.

I don't believe in persecuting homosexuals.

I disagree with you. I think homosexuality is a choice. If it was not a choice, then God would not have condemned it.

Oh, well, you're in luck because the Bible never condemns lesbianism. It only condemns sex between men. I guess you are now free to choose. Would you choose to be a lesbian? I suspect that you can't.

If homosexuality is a choice, then God must have created us all as bisexuals. Do you believe that? I don't feel I have a choice. I'm a heterosexual. God made me that way, and I thank Him for it because that means I don't have to deal with hate from people like you.

You mention elsewhere that you were beaten by your husband for 21 years. That's was terrible and no one deserves that. However, you did divorce him, and I'm afraid that the Bible condemns divorce as harshly as homosexuality.

Who are you angry at, really?

From my observation, in most cases it is not a choice. I know someone who was Christian who thought her same-sex attractions were sinful, who fought against them for years, who wept over them and prayed constantly that God would take these feelings away. It would have been so much easier to choose heterosexuality and get the white wedding, handsome husband, little house with a picket fence, two kids, and a dog. I see no conceivable reason why someone would choose a sexual orientation that resulted in such personal suffering (due to her and her family’s religious beliefs) and rejection by others (due to theirs). Moreover, this woman has never had a girlfriend, so she’s certainly not chosen this orientation for licentious pleasure.

I can’t say that I chose to be heterosexual, either. I just started being interested in boys when I hit puberty. I’m sure some people are mentally flexible enough that they can be interested in either sex, but most are just hard-wired to prefer one or the other. There’s not much they can do about it.

There are many good theories as to the cause of homosexuality, but choice isn't one of them, just as with ANY physical or mental illness we get, it is not a choice but is mostly due to extraneous factors. But just as we all try to get healed from illness or affliction, the same should be toward the homosexual affliction and indeed that was the status quo in this society toward it not so very long ago.

The choice comes when one decides to either embrace this illness or one decides to seek healing from it. Of course the ultimate 'grace-robbers' are those who say there is no need to get healing because they are not sick, truly the work of the change agents of Beelzebub.
