Homosexuality: Chosen or Genetic?

Started by Silver Stardust324 pages

I believe a round of applause is needed for Adam...

I don't know if homosexuality is genetic or due to a chemical imbalance or what...but I sure as hell don't think it's a matter of choice. Like Tpt said, you don't just go "Well, I choose to be straight!" or "I think I'll be gay today..." It doesn't work that way. One of my good friends is gay, and several others are bi. And I KNOW that they just didn't decide out of the blue to be that way.

Adam-Poe: When God asked Abraham to take his son up there, Yes to sacrifice, God wanted to KNOW if Abraham loved him that much, and YES he did, HE was willing to give his only Son for God, God never intended for Abraham to Kill his son, he only wanted to know if Abraham loved him that much. So, God gave us all the ultimate sacrifice and gave his Son to be sacrificed so that all may be saved.

FINTI: the bible is judgemental if it is against homosexual and I am that way towards christians cause the follow it. But your book also says it aint up to you to deceide if that is right or wrong casue that would be to pass judgement, so if you quote the bible where the bible passes judgement well then you are judgemental too.
Your book also teaches you tho love your next one as you self. Your saviour jesus took the side of the weak and the outcasts of society. So why is it that the chrisitans often seems to ignore that thing.

Who is ignoring LOVE? quoting the bible, stating what it says, does NOT mean you don't love, just cuz you don't agree w/what the bible says. The bible is a guidline like i've said many times, YOU will know if someone is a true christain or not by knowing what the Word of God says. Being gay is NOT natural, if it was they wouldn't have to try to promote it so much and try to be excepted and they do. They want everyone to Say it's "OK", and that will never happen, there will always be someone against it and that will never change.

Star: about the natural thing, I don't think it's Natural that they are gay, the bible speaks against that, NOW I would NEVER treat someone diff cuz they were gay and unless they asked me my feelings or God lead me to speak to them, I would never say anything to them, that is there Life and I don't go to HEAVEN or HELL for them, the best thing I can do is live my life in front of them, pray for them and hope my life is a testimony for them.

FE...I'm not trying to offend but I really want to know...do you have any opinions that AREN'T straight out of a bible?

Hmm.. I'd have to say it was slightly genetic..
'slightly' because I think you dont literally attain that preference through genetics... or choose what you prefer for that matter..
but it may have been brought on by a traumatic event, or perhaps lack of a father/mother figure, or had a hard time making a solid relationship with the opposite sex.. so I think its more of a 'has or hasnt your psyche been damaged' kind of a question.. because like someone before had said "You dont just say "Oh I think I'll be gay today" " etc..

Even when I wasn't a christian I still thought it was NOT natural, and I know a ton of people that are NOT christians, that feel that same way. I mean if it was natural, why do they have to fight so hard to try to convince people other wise?

Mostly one decides whether or not they like homosexuality is done much in the same manner as trying a new food... you have a spoonful and you say "Damn this is disgustin as hell.." or you say "Damn this tha bomb diggity!".. thats kinda why I dont think its chosen 'or' genetic..

interesting cuz if you take that bite of food, YOU choose to take that bite, to try something different and if you like it, you again chose to keep eating it.

FE, you seem very good at dodging questions.

And if people would stop believing that it is unnatural, then homosexuals wouldn't have to fight to fit in! I bring back up my argument from before that you ignored; people of other races have to fight to fit in, but going by your logic if it were natural they wouldn't have to.

There is nothing, I repeat NOTHING unnatural about loving someone, and it shouldn't matter what their gender is.

And no more bananas.

Oh for goodness sake! Stop nick picking and leave her alone! Its just a stupid banana. If it annoys u so much, stop looking at it. Why is everyone always picking on her! Just leave JM alone.

I didn't mean to dodge the question, sorry about that, posting in other threads to 🙂 That is a very good point that you brought up, especially when we've had so much rasism in America. But besides that fact that they try to fit in so much and be accepted, are bodies are different for a reason. Two males don't go together and neither do two females, it does't add up. Even in nuts and bolts and lawn hoses, ect. (maybe these are bad examples sorry but....)you have to have a male and female end to match them up, that is Natural. You can't put two of the same together it won't work and it doesn't work now, if they want kids, they have to adopt, they can't have one Natural, together. Why? it doesn't add up.

FE -- it does add up, though, to one very important thing: love. What gives ANYONE the right to tell someone else that they're wrong for being in love? Nothing does.

I agree. Its just what they do that is icky. That part isnt natural - - similar to what FE said - you need both sexes to have kids.

So having sex is 'icky' and unnatural? And since you guys like the bible so much...doesn't it say that a man and a woman having sex is a sin? But then again, I forgot, according the bible, everything is a sin!

Hmm good show.. 🙂 I hadn't thought of it that way, but what I mean to say is that I think we have an internal preconception of what does or doesnt 'taste good' to us.. which is why I voted slightly genetic.. because that taste can somehow also come from experiences

Star: now look who's dodging the question. You wanted me to explain how it wasn't natural and I did, now you bring up what about love, if it's not natural, it's not natural. we all have choices.

Good point,

You bring up Natural FE,
News Flash, You arn't natural! The clothes you wear: Not natural, The Computer you sit at: Not natural, The food you ear: not natural, The Church you go to:Not natural.
Everything about your life is unnatural, It is human essance to be unnatural, why else would we invent and build massive citys?
THere is none, we try to improve, and not create equilbrium. (Smith's Virus quote in M1) The very essence of being human is built around overcoming natural barriers and being what you want to be, ANd if you want to be gay, and you think its not "Natural" Than Damn if It ain't human!

LOL it's only a sin if YOU are not married, other than that NO where does it say it's a sin if you are married.

I didn't dodge the question. You asked why and I did answer: it's about love. People aren't gay just to spite those who've swallowed a bible or are so rigid in their mindset that they can't accept it. They do it because they truly have feelings for each other. And like was brought up many times, homosexuality occurs in nature. If it occurs in nature, how can it be unnatural?

can u please expand your views on it happens in nature?

It's been posted in this thread numerous times, if you really want to know read through it and find them yourself, I have better things to do, honestly.
