Wrong. Thats what current media etc want you to think because if they can make you think they were born that way, then nobody can tell them to change. The truth is, the entire reason homosexuality is unacceptable to God is because in doing so, you violate His divine design. Im glad Im on God's side instead of popular culture.

Oh, and btw if your going to priests for answers, its not surprising to me you are confused. Go to the Word.
sweet, another looney fundamentalist on the board! open-minded and modern thinking be damned!
What is life like in the year 1650?

This conversation should move to the other board but what you just said is complete crap.
This has NOTHING to do with media, this has to do with the many gay friends I have had throughout my life. None of them would have chosen to be gay. They struggled growing up, they were not accepted by society nor their families. That is not a life someone chooses.
The divine design argument is also wrong otherwise God would never create a human that lacks the ability to procreate. Yes... people are born that way too.
This has all gotten way too involved for me.
My god is not in church because my god is everywhere.
My god doesn’t care if you are white, black, brown, yellow, purple, green, or some combination thereof.
My god doesn’t care if you are heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or asexual.
My god doesn’t care what two or more consenting adults do.
My god doesn’t define marriage; loving people do.
My god doesn’t care what you do so long as you don’t hurt any innocent life or property.
My god says you are responsible for your own life and the choices you make.
My god values honesty, integrity, and decency.
My god is tired of special interest groups running around saying “look at me.” Your business is your business, keep it there. You are owed nothing.
My god says there is no such thing as a hate crime, all similar crimes are equal, moral relativity does not exist.
My god doesn’t care about silly games, he doesn’t pick sides, and he doesn’t root for either team.
My god adheres to the ten commandments. Not because they are in the bible but because they are moral and ethical.
My god abhors sins and sinners.
My god says everyone deserves a second chance. My god says fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
My god says if you are lonely or need a helping hand, call me up.

This needs to be moved to Life off the Ship please. Not sure why folks keep responding to this nutburger.
You have made up your own God then the way you have mixed in your opinions of what you wish God was with some true things. Good luck with that. I hope your god can save you when this life is over. If you want to debate Bible, we can do that. But once you go out of the realm of scripture and into your imaginations of what you would like God to be, then it is no longer a conversation based in reality. All I have said is what is blatantly obvious in the Bible. If you dont believe in the Bible, then fine, I understand why you do not agree with what I said. SPK, i admire you taking the time to detail all those things you believe god is. However, knowing God myself and knowing His Word and how many of the things you said directly contradict God's Word, I cannot agree with you.

This is as stupid a thread as they come. I come here for some valuable info on hoops and I see a gay fight. Anyhow, let him do what he wants to do but theres no need to promote it. It was stupid of ESPN to put it on there and it's stupid for any newspaper to carry stories about gay's coming out.

People are born with the ability to choose whether or not to follow down that path just as they have the choice to give in to ANY sin. Some people have predispositions to homosexuality based on environmental pressures or circumstances. You are a product of your environment. Thats why so many people turn to homosexuality after being abused, molested, raped, and disappointed. The devil may tempt different people differently, and place different pressures on different people. Thats why some people become drunks, while some are not tempted by alcohol but rather become strung out on drugs. Many times during youth the devil will float homosexual thoughts in your mind. No thought can hurt you until you accept and/or believe and embrace it. It is the power of choice. It is what separates us from animals. It is part of our god-like nature. We are created in His likeness. The power of choice is a god quality.
Thats fine, call me whatever. Dont mind me if I take God's opinion toward homosexuality instead of yours.
Which one are you, the pot or the kettle? All religion/the bible is based on a belief system, not rooted in reality. That's the beauty of religion, BELIEVE whatever you want or don't BELIEVE anything. And leave everyone else out of it.
I have to answer to my god everyday.
Believe whatever you want?? Ok so then your admitting you dont believe in the Bible then right? Because if you choose to believe in the Bible, you lose the freedom to believe "whatever you want". If your going to call yourself a Christian, you must of necessity believe in the writings of the Bible. That is what MAKES you a Christian. Just as believing the writings of Buddha makes you a Buddhist. And btw the Bible IS reality. There is only one reality. And many versions of it, but only one truth. But thats a different conversation. If you say your not a Christian, then hey fine cool I understand why we disagree on this issue. But you should also understand why I cannot agree that homosexuality is okay, when the Bible blatantly says those who practice it have no part in the Kingdom of God. If your gonna be real, you have to be real all the way. Nobody even appreciates or respects someone for being real anymore or standing for something. Everything is moral relativism. No wonder our society has gone into the toilet and continues the rapid downward spiral seemingly daily.

this is my favorite thing in this thread. the visual is great.

As you said the Bible is reality. And you are right in Leviticus it does state that homosexuality is an abomination, however as you critize others I wonder if you actually read the entire bible instead of focusing in on just that.
In Exodus 21:7 selling my youngest daughter into slavery is sanctioned, does that make it reality?
<
Exodus 35:2 states you should be put to death for working on the Sabbath, does that make it reality?
In Leviticus 11:7 state touching skin of a dead pig makes you unclean, does that make it reality?

I'll leave you with one last verse John 8:7 'Let Him Who Is Without Sin Cast the First Stone'

For once, you've applied the term "fundamentalist" appropriately. Congratulations. For the record, and Source mentioned it, Catholics are not fundamentalist; the term implies taking all of the Bible literally.
