I don't usually get involved ... but erm, what the hell.

Okay, well in cases like this I like to give the example of my mum. She is one of the most devout Christians I have ever known, but she is also a very open minded Christian. And she too holds the belief that people are born with homosexual tendancies, just like people are born with hetrosexual ones. She says that the people are who they are, and if they are homosexual, then that is how they are.

So I agree with this also. One has to differentiate between those who are naturally homosexual to those who just say they are "gay" or "bi" because they think they are cool, etc. I've always said that a person can't help how they feel ... and if an individual is attracted to the opposite sex, then that is how they are. Look at it this way ... how come you as an individual may be attracted to a particular person, but your friend may think they are ugly as hell. Same with when you love someon, you can't force yourself to love them, nor can you force yourself to not love them. So it's the same if you are homosexual ... you have those feelings because they are just there.

On the bible stuff, I'm not very up on biblical stuff even though I went to church as a kid/teenager. But if I'm not wrong, I think that much of the rules in the old testament were over-ruled by the new testament. One of them I know is where certain foods were "unclean" in the old testament and in the new testament there is a part where it says "Jesus declared all foods clean". It's like women weren't supposed to come in contact with other people when it was "that time of month". I don't know what was over-ruled and what wasn't ... but the new testament is a progression from the old, so old laws have changed. So now that we are in a newer age, things are different again.
