^^ haha, nah you don't have to worry about me getting mad.
but I do think gay tendencies most often are nature over nurture- not 100% as my case can atest, but I do think it's usually nature. who the hell would choose this, other than those gay guys on tv who choose it for attention
edit: I mean the queer eye guys

Why are you bringing the bible into my question? Can you not think for yourself? Your statement has nothing to do what what I asked. Leave the bible out of it for a minute and see if you can answer my question without quoting the bible.

If it is a natural thing for some creatures to take part in homosexuallity, and humans can be homosexual,how is it different? Just because animals are inferior, does that have to mean we can't have similar charistics as them?

You don't have to go to a church or get married bu a religious person though.

I cannot "leave" the Bible out of it as you say because I believe what the Bible says. How can I leave it out? I refuse to leave the Bible out of it. Just as you refuse to bring the Bible in the conversation.

I'd have to disagree, Dakstang. I look at my husky Angel and she is the most compassionate, loving, caring dog I've ever seen. She also knows when she's done something wrong (after all, owners are supposed to train their pets as to what is wrong and what is right). Animals have souls, all living things do (well, not so sure about plants).

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28

But I didn't ask the bible, I asked you for your take on it. Not what the bible says about it. Why would I bring the bible into the conversation? That is like saying I wouldn't bring a garden hose into the conversation. I am not asking you a religious question.

I understand that the bible has it's say on the matter but I am not referring to it.

Right but the basis for his oponion is what he's been taught from the Bible. It would be like you saying "well I agree with so-and-so when they say thus-and-such." Just because someone/something else has said it before and you agree with it, that doesn't mean it's not the oponion that you hold to.

AudioSavior

That is not how I saw it at all. It sounds like he believes it only because it says so in the bible, not that he agrees with what is being said. It comes across as though he believes it BECAUSE the bible says so.

I wanted to know what HE thought of what I was saying which had nothing to do with anything that was in the bible. He took examples of something different in the bible and applied it to his answer.

It is like if I asked you some random question and you started quoting the bible as your anwer.

Abel M

Well I guess I should throw my two pennies worth in too huh?

If people want to be gay, let them be gay. If people want to kill other people, let them kill other people. If people want to steal goldfish, let them steal goldfish. If someone does not hold to the beliefs of Christianity then Christians have no right to impose those beliefs on them. Is it still sin? Yep. But do they care? No, cuz they don't hold to the Christian belief system. However, if you are a Christian and you are involved in homosexuality, then you're committing sin; sin that you need to get straightned out because you say that you are a beliver of Christ. With that said, let me say this, I think it was The Dude that mentioned that God is disappointed with sin but that dosen't mean that he can't love. Good point. I'll give an example: a father tells his kid to not set the family cat on fire. The kid does it anyway. The father is angry and disciplines the kid. Does that mean that the father does not love the kid anymore? No, the father still loves the kid. He displined the kid, he didn't disown him. That's how God is. We do dumb stuff and we pay for it but that dosen't mean that God dosen't love us. I'll finish with this old Christian cliche: "Love the sinner; hate the sin."
