Homosexuality is clearly a sin for any believer. Sin is a choice. Yes, there are those genetically caught between. Some eunuchs are made by God, some by man.
I can’t compromise on what the Bible says- that is my religion. I can compromise on politics- it’s of this earth and not strictly of God. As much as is possible, I am encouraged to live at peace with all men.
If they wish to vote with us, they can. If they wish for me to endorse their lifestyle, I cannot.
A Free Republic by definition implies a certain tolerance. The Founders included Deists, and others. Mormons are a conservative block that I disagree with on a religious level, but I welcome their support against the destructive tide we are facing.
I compromise politically, but not on doctrine religiously.
They can all vote conservative. Fine by me. But I will oppose their agenda vigorously. The Log Cabiners only pretended to be conservatives. This new group, I’ll bet is in the same stealth mode.
Do you imply then that heterosexuals are making a choice to not be homosexual? Freud felt similarly I think. In his book "Totem and Taboo" he described primitive aboriginal tribesmen and their various taboo prohibitions. According to him, touching a religious idol, for example, was prohibited to everyone except a priest of sufficient rank or, possibly a king. He believed that it was prohibited because once common tribesmen saw other common tribesmen touching the religious idol without any divine consequences, the power of the God would come into question as would the power of the priest and the King. What's more, the violator himself would become taboo. To look upon him would invite further violations and, as such, violators of the taboo prohibition had to be punished lest the entire tribe succumb to their temptation. Punishment typically meant death of course. It's an interesting book chocked full of useless tidbits like this.
