i find it very hard to believe that someone is born gay, but if they are they can choose not to live that lifestyle

They do that on the square outside our office building all the time. Annoys the heck out of everyone!!
Kind of like those street corner bible thumpers... we have those too... and I can't stand them doing that.

Also, not everyone, or even most, gay people were molested as children.
I know it sounds goofy, but many people (including myself) associate being gay with like being a drug addict.
Drug addicts don't just wake up one day and say "I think I'll be a heroin addict!". No, it starts out as "something seemingly innocent... and snowballs.
The stories gay people have told are strikingly similar. It started out as something so minor, they would have never thought it would "lead" to anything more.
- Nuff said on that, as this is too far from OT.

Why does this phenomenon only happen in Humans?
It doesn't actually, there is a scientist right now working on locating the "gay gene" and he is working w/sheep because a certain percentage of sheep show a preference for intercourse w/other male sheep. Search for "gay sheep" and you'll come up w/a ton of listings.
Seriously, the day one of you admits to sitting down and making the choice to be straight you may have some kind of argument, you just say what you want because you've been forcefed the information by someone who wants you to believe that.

Scientists looking for gay genes in sheep. Or maybe gay sheep wearing designer jeans.
Do they use velcro gloves to hold the sheep too?
Besides if sheep were gay, shepards wouldnt have to wear robes. A sheep can hear a zipper a mile away.
Ever thought that if it was natural mankind would cease to exist.

I didn't say that everyone was gay at heart (then it would be pretty hard to keep our species alive) but that being gay is something that happens naturally. It happens in sheep, as well as humans and other animals. If you had read you would have seen that I said a certain percentage of sheep, not all sheep. And if you think that all gay people are feminine fashion freaks then then you are completely ignorant. I live in seattle, therefor I am surrounded by gay people, and they come attatched to all personalities, just like straight people. It's disgusting that you choose to make judgements about a group of people when you don't know anything about. You make assumptions based on something other than experience and it's just making you sound like you think it's okay to just pull things out of the air and call them "facts".

Do you think the sheep were really gay at heart or just posing? A male sheep may be traped in female sheeps body and not know what kind of sheep to have as a role model. That would be baaaaaad. I had a poodle once.
We should be more tolerant of ignorant, presumtious judgemental people also, it may be in their genes too.

The Bible is a reflection of its Author. All books are. The Bible was written by God Himself as He worked through human authors in a process called “inspiration.” Second Timothy 3:16 says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” (literally, “is God-breathed”). See also 2 Peter 1:21 and Jeremiah 1:2.
We believe that the God Who created the universe is capable of writing a book. And the God Who is perfect is capable of writing a perfect book. The issue is not simply “Does the Bible have a mistake?” but “Can God make a mistake?” If the Bible contains factual errors, then God is not omniscient and is capable of making errors Himself. If the Bible contains misinformation, then God is not truthful but is a liar. If the Bible contains contradictions, then God is the author of confusion. In other words, if Biblical inerrancy is not true, then God is not God.

I will only "witness" to people who want to hear it. My beliefs are mine and I do not have to push them on anyone. What I tell people is that I am not better then they… just better off. there is only one person I know that’s going to heaven and that me...not because of what I have done but what Jesus did for me.. and because I believe that He, God promises me everlasting life. The bible and its teachings are for everyone who believes and has faith in Him. God loves all people so I love all people, it’s the sin that tears down and destroys. You do not have to believe anything that I believe but what I can tell you is the Lord has done some pretty amazing things in my life and because of that I know him to be the true and only God. I love to talk to people about my relationshiprelationship with Jesus Christ not “My Religion” the bible told many church's what they were doing wrong, it could only be expected they would continue. We all sin and fall short of what God planed for us.. that includes the chuch.. many would say the church is full of sinners that would be correct where else should they be? :thinking:
