beleive me, I don't think of you any less a person because of that. I guess I have placed homosexuality in the same boat as race, age or gender. It's a nonissue with me. And I'm not sure if it should be, because, as I said, I honestly don't beleive it's a choice, just as race, age and gender are not either.

But IF you believe in God and the Bible, it is quite impossible to believe homosexuality is the same as race, age or gender, because that would require that God deliberately put people in a catch 22 where they had no choice in what they were but were still judged for it. God creates us male or female, black or white and we are born when we're born, but He does not create us to a certain sin. As I alluded to in a previous post, I will concede that the possibility exists for a predisposition to homosexuality in SOME cases, but in that case, it would really be no different than than someone who may have a genetic predisposition to alcoholism. It doesn't mean that it then becomes okay to be a drunk, just that the individual might have to work harder than the next guy to resist the temptation to drink.
