Are you saying that people arent born gay, but their "environment" causes them to be gay?

So, can I marry my cow now?
Seriously, children, to even have this debate shows just how utterly clueless this generation has become. Marriage is much more significant that two people getting together for while it works, and its purpose is much more significant than sex. It is much more than about getting on health insurance plans and such as that. It is specifically designed for the procreation and raising of children, and that is a thing that only a man and a woman can do.

Just think if everyone were gay, swoosh. You know what our population would be in 100-110 years? Zeeee-ro.

IF someone is born gay, do u think God would be against them for being gay?

Hypothetically if they were born gay (which isn't possible because it is a choice): All humans are born into sin. They are condemed just as much as you or I are when we are born. But they can turn away from and reject their sinful ways and accept Christ. But Jesus will never turn away from them and will always accept them if they accept Him.

nowhere near everyone would be gay. Plus, where's the proof that a child being raised by gay parents would turn out gay?

AIDS, what a joke!
1) It's the most preventable disease i know of.
2) Not only gay people can get AIDS. It all comes down to responsibility.
Don't blame gay people for the present spread of AIDS.

first thing, maybe you guys could come out from behind this religious ******, and give some logical answers.
second, you're born gay. It isn't a choice. Why would all of those people choose to be gay. it makes no sense.

And that's about as likely as everyone in the world deciding to become a nun or a Roman Catholic priest -- in which case, the world population in 2024 would also be zeee-ro.
(Shall we abolish the Roman Catholic Church?)
It just boggles my mind that, in a world with people as offensive and ignorant as you, people would somehow *choose* to be gay. You really think people choose to risk being disowned by parents, to risk threatened and attacked in our streets, to risk be discriminated against in the work place?

So you say.
Many Christians disagree with that interpretation.
After all, as you probably know, the Gospels record Jesus saying nothing at all about homosexuality.

Just cause Jesus doesn't say anything about it doesn't make it right.

The question called for a religious view on the question. You preach about tolerance, but when people are religious, you tell them to "come out of hiding behind their religion". Things you believe by faith can't always be explained with logic.

First of all, I'm not religious, I'm a child of God. My answers are very logical, you just don't want to accept them. And I won't accept your answers. I will never accept homosexuality.

Of course not, but just think about that. If everyone decided to become gay, would you be okay with it? I don't think so.

You act like I hate gay people. I said myself that I love them. I've never called one names, beat them up or discriminated against them. I want to see them inherit the kingdom of God. But they won't if they continue in this lifestyle.
Oh yeah, it's pretty ironic that you "tolerant" left-winger call's me offensive and ignorant because of my views on this issue. That's not the "tolerant" attitude I remember.
Hypocrite!
