That is the common, Christian viewpoint traditionally. I just wonder how many of you who condemn homosexuals carte blanche as being perverse, abnormal, etc will feel if when you die God tells you he made them that way on purpose? Ever stop to think what population problems there would be if EVERY sexually mature adult on the planet were heterosexual and creating more offspring? It is my honest opinion, and has been for some time now, that homosexuality is a natural mechanism for population control. Have you ever studied the works of Robert Thomas Malthus? He was an 18th century economist interested in the economic effects of growing population. He surmised that humans multiply at a geometric rate while our ability to sustain ourselves with food supply merely multiplies at a mathematical rate. In 1999 we reached the 4 billion mark in world population, chilling numbers considering what the population was only 100 years ago don't you think? Ever wonder why so many men/women in the arts are gay? I do. It seems to be an inordinate percentage to me, which leads one to speculate why? Why are such talented people oriented different sexually? Maybe God gave them the artistic talents since they would be free to pursue such things without being burdened with offspring? Now before anyone goes ballistic on me I state this as merely my opinion, not as a fact. As a gay friend pointed out to me, a long time ago making me view gays quite differently than before: "Why would I (or anyone) "choose" to be gay?" Very valid point, why would anyone "choose" a stigmitizing, considered perverse and separated from the pale of "normality" way of life? Why indeed unless that is simply -who they are and have no say so in the matter-. Now I am not talking about cross dressing, acting like a "fag" and being a flamer. Those ARE choices. But a person's sexuality is not their choice IMHO. But like my older gay friend said, what you do in your bedroom shouldn't dictate how you present yourself to the world. Being gay shouldn't mean being "weird" or a freak.

According to my Malthusian calculator, the last human being on earth starved to death about 150 years ago. That man was a genius.
