Poor guy was born that way, and so was his victim. Don't you know that homosexuals get their sexual orientation at, or before age 8?

[Eric Esot]

We should all be more tolerant about Rolf Rathmann's sexual preference – no matter how deviant.

His victim must have been homosexual too. After all, we hear that homosexuals aren't attracted to heterosexual males. That is why we have nothing to worry about in locker rooms and common showers.

But, of course, if they were 'born that way', then God would have mentioned them in book of Genesis as part of the "many genders" He created. And doctors would announce in the delivery room - 'look, it's a bouncing baby homosexual'.... But then, we know that "male and female, He created them"....and everything after that is a choice of the heart.

Now, someone will come along and argue that 'orientation' is inborn, even if behaviors are chosen. But then, since we are thinking animals, even 'oreintation' is a fabrication of the mind. A pyromanic is 'oriented' to setting fires. Even if he doesn't act on his 'orientation'....he is nevertheless not mentally healthy. However, we have (as a society) decided that this particular deviation (and adult-child sex is the next one to fall) is not mental. One would have to have scientific evidence that it is genetic to draw such a conclusion. And, of course, there is none. Just as there is no gene for pyromania.

Homosexuality as 'normal' is nothing more than a societal compromise (defining deviancy downward) since there is no science to it.
