FE> So by saying “Homosexuality is wrong because God says so” you are NOT putting other people down?
Find one error in the above. You are condemning people on grounds of something that hurts no one nor causes anyone any harm – yet you say it is WRONG.
“lol i guess you thk you're the only one thats suppose to voice an opinion.”
(Slaps forehead) Am I telling you NOT to voice your opinion? Please point to where I do so!
I know you can’t – you know you can’t, so quit this “Ieewww, you disagree with me, so you’re saying I can’t voice my opinion.” BS!
I’m voicing MY opinion in regards to YOURS. In case you didn’t know.
You say gay people are BLINDED by SATAN. Now, last I checked YOU would view Satan as the Lord of Evil. Thereby you’re saying that being gay is EVIL – as in your opinion homosexuals are the way they are, because of SATAN. Ergo: Homosexuality = evil, that’s what you’re saying.

Couldn't have explained that any better myself 😊
A4E> It may be a mix of both. When we’re are foetuses and a few weeks old, we’re flooded with testosterone. How much decides how “masculine” and also how “feminine” we can become later in life.
And it may possible determine if people become gay or not. You’ve probably met all kinds of girls and guys in your life, that didn’t fit the stereotypical male/female categories, right? Very masculine girls, and very feminine men?
Is it so difficult to accept, that sometimes a man becomes so “feminine” he becomes attracted to other men? And the same for a woman?
Seeing how Christians and other hate-groups lurch themselves at homosexuals it surely isn’t just something you choose. No one can chose who they become attracted to…
Life would be much easier if we could…
And a lot more boring! 😉

Being blinded by someone does NOT make them evil and I never said it did, so you just added that yourself. A person that is blinded well means they can't see, they don't know it's happening to them, that does not make them Evil. Alot of people are blinded by Satans tactics. Satan came to steal, kill and destroy and HE will use any tactic he can to accomplish that. How can a child molester get a child, umm thru using candy and any thing that would intice a kid, they don't use evil to get them, they use something a kid will want, Satan does the same thing.

You implied it.
If you do not fit in with your idea of a "good" and "moral" life and you are "blinded by satan" I don't understand how this could be interpretted differently. I came to the same conclusion Omega did here. According to gay people they do live a good and moral life, or believe they are not acting immoral or wrongly by being gay. They think that straight people are quite capable of acting good and leading moral lifes too. Contrast this with the Christian view where they are living the only rightous way, and everyone else is "blinded by satan." Being blinded by satan implies that they are either not good or are immoral people. Being blinded by satan can not be interpreted much differently than that.
The gay way - accepting of all sexualities
The Christian way - exclusive of all but the mainstream
commiting sins is not evil, then why do people go to hell? Is it because you have sinned or is it you are evil?
If you don't believe that commiting sins is evil, I think that there are a couple million Christians who would argue that with you.
While you may not consider those that commit sins evil, you consider what they are doing to be evil. Or don't you? You are saying that homosexuals are not evil people, but the concept of homosexuality is? If they are being blinded by Satan, what are they being blinded from? I know many homosexual christians. The church I go to in Minneapolis with my parents for on Christmas Eve and Easter is a church with a large and diverse congregation including several non-traditional couples. While I don't go all that often, my parents do. They know these people as people who know Christianity and are people who believe in God. These people teach sunday school lessons, they give communion as challace bearers, they are vestry members, and lead worship as readers from the scripture, and from the gay priest who is the priest in charge at this church. I don't think they are blinded by the devil. I think that maybe people who judge homosexuals as homosexuals and not as humans beings no differents than anyone else are the ones who are truelly blind. I've seen this before where a religious group will invite members of the gay community to join them for worship. "Oh your not evil, its just you cant see that you are not following the way of God, If you want to save yourself from eternal damnation you need to see that God says that you need one man and one women in order to love one another. So as long as you dont reject what God says, and stop being homosexual, and repent for once being that way, you too can come to God's kingdom." I think that that kind of arguement is easy to see through, and is equally as hateful.

But you insist that gay people are blinded by SATAN, the Lord of Evil (cue scary music) - and it is in their blidness that they, according to you, CHOSE to be gay. So - following that logic GAY is evil, as only those blinded by SATAN himself are gay.
And your child-molester analogy: So the child in this case is BLIND? Or is the child-molester blind? Or where is SATAN blinding someone.
And what is Satan offering gay people to blind them into doing something which you still deem wrong - despite that fact that it hurts no one.
How do you know we should take the Bibles "homosexual is evil" literally?
