RE :”“The overwhelming scientific evidence is that people are born with their sexual orientation, that it is not a choice,” the church contends. “Fully accepting one’s sexual orientation and identity is key to leading a normal and healthy life. “Forcing people to act against their God-given sexual orientation will lead to disordered lives. Allowing people to act in accordance with their God-given sexual orientation leads to reconciliation ...; Believing sexuality to be a “good gift from God” – or as they declared yet another way in God’s infinite diversity – CUMC defines sin as denying who God created them to be.....“Holding people responsible for matters in which they have no control is irrational and immoral,” the church declares. “We believe that both those within and without the Church are hungry for dialogue about homosexuality that reflects compassion and humility rather than intolerance and strife”

I thought the above positions on sin and choice were interesting. Do hetrosexual men have a 'choice' when they 'harrass' women on the job by hitting on them for sex? Isnt that our male nature? sexual gratification?? Is it wrong to restrain that too?

I still remember the 1980s when these liberals were blaming Christians, more specifically Reagan, for that ‘gift’ that homosexuals were spreading to each other called HIV, in spite of being warned not to by the Reagan administration.

O Lord, please forgive me for acting against you by wearing eye glasses and thereby denying your gift of myopia.
