This must be the best thread in the history of the Forums.
I believe homosexuality is something that one is predisposed towards from birth. This doesn't mean that somebody is born homosexual and will die homosexual. I think a person could be born predisposed toward homosexuality but maybe if they were never exposed to the concept it would never surface. On the other hand, someone could
appear to
develop homosexuality, when in fact something has simply come to the surface that has been present the entire time. So maybe it's a combination of "nature" and "nurture." . . . Okay, that sounds pretty unfounded. But there has been no scientific proof as to the nature of homosexuality, so I don't think anyone can conclusively say I'm wrong. Unless they were, themself, homosexual and could scientifically analyze their own life and come up with something. Anyway.
I've probably said this before, but I don't think God is any kind of authority. I think that, if God does exist, it is the product of a collection of human minds, and not the source. Whether it is real or imagined makes no difference, because the only impact it has is on the minds that create or recognize it.
And besides, I've always hated authority.
Maybe if God does exist he should mind his own damn business and let us get on with our lives.
EDIT: Interesting factiod that I just learned from my mom. Apparently Muslims believe in the same god as do Christians and Jews. Somebody should tell all the soldiers going over to Iraq that little bit of information. It might slightly alter a few ideas and perceptions. Of course, 90 percent of the people who learned that would probably blatantly deny it and angrily declare it an attack on Christianity, but somebody should still try.
