Whoa, hang on... I don't understand. You are saying it is a choice, that people can choose who they are attracted to, but at the same time, they are naturally predisposed toward the opposite gender. So... Why, if they are simply choosing to be gay, WOULD thay want to be gay? If they are...

Regarding the edited bit, my apologies, I didn't realise it was offensive. You assuming they thought between being attracted to their own gender and the opposite gender. Then they decided that homosexuality was better for them and whent ahead with it. In this case, are you suggesting that...

They are stating something they believe. I've been reading Kidan's and Bill's argument and from what I can tell, there is simply no way I can state homosexuality is genetic, but if you read my posts, you'll find I never implied that I thought homosexuality was entirely genetic. I have never said...

Where does God get His music ideas? Seriously, if playing harps up in heaven is all the rage, He must have good music connections. Does He download?

My top three scores (assuming you are remotely interested) Unitarian Universalism 100% Secular Humanist 98 % Liberal Quakers 88% Unitarian Universalism seems quite weird and airy-fairy to me. It doesn't have many specifics.

So then, you chose to be heterosexual because you chose not to be homosexual? Heterosexuality wasn't 'in-bred' or came naturally? Is sexuality truly such a simple choice?

If they lack this 'other half', do you believe they will grow up to be emotionally different or inferior?

Kidan, I think you are frustrated because you feel homosexuals are attempting to muscle in on the life and society you know and cherish. Truth be told, On the first points, I dislike those who wear their sexuality as a thing of pride, something to flaunt, but be aware that many simply want...

I apologise, I never implied you did, but I clearly gave the wrong message. But my point was that some view homosexuals as being weak against temptation, unable/unwilling to control themselves or quite simply acting in defiance. I see where you are going, but this is not the point I was...

And I am against blaming homosexuals for being weak minded, incapable of excercising self-control and for deliberately choosing to indulge in something that is veiwed as wrong. Oops, sorry if it sounded like I was angry, I wasn't. I could go on, but I don't want to produce another tangent...

Alright, it may have been an innaccurate analogy, but then imagine you were homosexual. Try to imagine how you would feel if something you knew all your life to be normal was not only considered 'wrong' but was generally treated with hostility. By the way, I'm sure nature would have come up...

Where the difference lies between a disability/ debilitating disease and homosexuality is that homosexuality is not an aggresive disease that destroys life, livelihoods and health, but a state of mind, wether it is choice or not. As a state of mind, the normal function of that person would be...

That is the point that is of utmost importance to me. Whatever anyone thinks of homosexuals, it is not right in a democratic society to legislate against anyone, regardless of the religious implications.

Good point. But will everyone who has never known what it is to be heterosexual choose to be 'cured'?

Perhaps it is more palatable than being called a deviant (actually has been called that) who chooses to do something many view with revulsion. If you like, I can ask. (Can't promise he will allow an answer, though).

I know someone who has had crushes on males since as far back as he can remember. He has never, ever, had any crushes on women. Ask him and he will tell you he never chose.

Byblos, I am not at all insinuating you are attacking homosexuals as people. However, I noticed you mentioned that you are annoyed when there are classes on this sort of thing, and when they go on marches. My main problem is when ordinary homosexuals wish similar rights to other people and are...

Not everyone is like that. If God made them that way, why? Pure sex and lust happens among heterosexuals too. Missing out on one or more parental influences? It is better to have two caring parents than to experience a break-up, is it not? But you can bring it into heterosexual relations...

Hmm. While I disagree with Byblos on his religious accounts, I still would like your opinion on social implications. However, I dislike the people who use it as a weapon against society, especially 'gay pride' parades. People who just want to be treated normal, but are met with hostility and...

For fear of invoking the wrath of a moderator, I posted this here to be safe. My questions is more in line with the SOCIAL reasons for opposing homosexual marriages and such like, not the religious side, since I am already aware of the religious reasons for opposing it. A few mentioned outside...
