Since a large percentage (studies vary in numbers, read up on it via the homosexual archive of articles to see for yourself - the numbers are large) of homosexuals were molested at a young age, it is clear that most of it is learned.
Combine that with the also undeniable fact that at least one third of all child molestation is same sex, with homosexuals comprising around 2% of the population - and there you have it.
And the cherry on the cake, so to speak, is the huge onslaught of homosexual indoctrination going on in public schools as we speak - voila.
Not only is it learned, it is being rammed down young throats this very minute.
I find it hard to accept that this friend of yours is so important to you that you would rather accept his perverse lifestyle than to lose him. Going to church alone will not give a person salvation from their sins. And I also don't believe that he is now happy.
Your need of this friend seems to have compromised what you originally saw as the truth. So are you going to believe him or your lying eyes? Will you now root for same-sex marriage and gay adoptions? Believe me you're not doing your friend or society any good by your tacit agreement with this "abomination" like behavior.
"I find it hard to accept that this friend of yours is so important to you that you would rather accept his perverse lifestyle than to lose him."
Only becuase you don't know the history. Trust me, this guy would step in front of a moving bus for me.
I'm against gay marriage, but I support civil unions.
I can only tell you what I have observed about male homosexuals so far. It appears to me that half are born homosexual and the other half, at some point in their lives, get sucked into it. Thank You.
God = Good things and the other things you mentioned more reflect things that the Devil AKA Satan would be a part of. Evil is not a part of Jehovah God in any way shape or form!
Well, I think God does do certain things we sometimes perceive as "bad" or "unpleasant."
Ask Job.
For example, Babies are aborted --- murdered through no fault of their own. They go to Heaven. If they grew up in the likely liberal ---- and probably non Christian --- household, they very well may not have.
Same idea with cancer, alcoholism, and various other items.
Recall the man Jesus healed who was born blind (in John, maybe the others, too). The diciples and others were all saying "what did this man do -- or his parents do -- to deserve to be born blind?" Jesus scoffed and said the reason he was born blind was so that Jesus could heal him and bring Glory to God.
I suspect something similar may be afoot.
I like to use science to strengthen my belief in God.
Likewise. However, I will use the Bible to prove the science and in that way faith is strenghtened.
It is good to use both. The very order and laws of nature attest to being of God's creation.

I am in total agreement here.

Thanks. I really can't see it any other way.
I read Job as well... you will make note that SATAN wanted to "TEST" him. It was SATAN AKA the DEVIL who pettitioned Almighty Jehovah to do to him what GOD didn't. GOD= GOOD always and forever!
