I consider homosexuality to be genetic (and it's certainly not a handicap except as a result of social prejudice). I don't consider autism a handicap in the way most people do, in my view the problem lies more in the way that people refuse to adapt or try to understand people who are different rather than in the particular difficulties posed by being autistic.

So you squarly place homosexuality at the feet of the all-knowing and divine god, right?

No. That doesn't even make sense. Homosexuality is a concept, you can't place it anywhere. Even taken as a metaphor there are a lot of different things it could mean.
Not to mention that I don't believe in the existance of a meaningful God.

As long as you dismiss the reality of Jesus Christ as the all-knowing god of every human being that does or ever has existed, then we have no argument.

I do happen to think there really was a religious leader named Jesus (or the Aramaic equivalent) at some point in the past. I don't think he was omnipotent, omniscient or omni-anything.

I agree half though. If the guy wants the fetus to be aborted the woman should be forced to have it terminated.
