Lol, the main problem is that rape and pedophilia are harmful. Homosexuality is not harmful. The very fact that you even compare pedophilia (a fetish) to s sexual orientation is laughable, and shows you are desperate in trying to convince other people of your bigoted views.

I'm sorry, but science proves you wrong. See, unlike religion, science relies on facts, not unprovable myths.

Homosexuality is not a choice. Just like you don't choose the color of your skin, you cannot choose whom you are sexually attracted to. If you can, sorry, but you are not heterosexual, you are bi-sexual. Virtually all major psychological and medical experts agree that sexual orientation is NOT a choice. Most gay people will tell you its not a choice. Common sense will tell you its not a choice. While science is relatively new to studying homosexuality, studies tend to indicate that its biological.

There is overwhelming scientific evidence that homosexuality is not a choice. Sexual orientation is generally a biological trait that is determined pre-natally, although there is no one certain thing that explains all of the cases. "Nurture" may have some effect, but for the most part it is biological.

And it should also be noted that:

"It is worth noting that many medical and scientific organisations do believe it is impossible to change a person's sexual orientation and this is displayed in a statement by American Academy of Pediatrics, American Counseling Association, American Association of School Administrators, American Federation of Teachers, American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, American School Health Association, Interfaith Alliance Foundation, National Association of School Psychologists, National Association of Social Workers, and National Education Association."

But we don't need scientific evidence for this.

I shall ask you this. Are you male? (If not, reverse the questions to the other gender) If so, Are you sexually attracted to other men? Would you be able to enjoy sex with a man? Do you get sexual urges with a man? Do men turn you on sexually and emotionally? Could you be happy with a man sexually for the rest of your life?

If you are heterosexual, the answer should be no. Otherwise, you might either be bi-sexual or homosexual, and might want to re-evaluate your sexuality. It is well known that a lot of homophobes deny their homosexuality by being aggressive towards it, until they finally accept it. Most people know this is not a choice, and it would be ignorant claiming it so. I know a few gay people who went to a straight club when they were figuring out their sexuality, where women were putting their naked bodies all over them, giving them naked lap dances, not once did the gay men get it up or aroused. But just the picture of a naked guy gets them up easily. Tell me thats choice. Also, why would a gay person, knowing that you will have a rough time in society, knowing that you cant get married unless you live in certain places, knowing that people will pick on you for it, knowing that your closest friends and families might completely turn their back on you, choose to be gay, if they could easily be satisfied by the opposite sex? Because they can't. Simple logic there.

Lol, another bigot trying to bring irrelevant variables to condone their bigotry. The problem with your answer, is that the Bible clearly says you shall not harm yourself nor do drugs. However, the Bible NEVER said homosexuality or gay marriage was a sin, unless you try to twist verses out of context. Also, homosexuality is not harmful like drugs are. bigot logic never wins, as shown by your response.

Actually, i already know where you are going with this. I've just dealt with a few people like you on other forums. It's obvious you are asking that looking for an opportunity to twist the words. Sin? Its something that is wrong and harmful to others. Now go ahead, go try to show that homosexuality is wrong. Ill be sure to disprove everything you come up with :) Btw, this isn't "my" blog.

Actually, you were implying those things in the post. The "feel sorry" for me card never works. I have read both sides. The fact is, there is more evidence with relation to the historical times and proper interpretation of other passages that explicitly show the sins had nothing to do with homosexuality in those lines, but idolatry, prostitution, and rape.

First off, homosexuality is not a choice. You should scroll up and you'll learn that. Common sense will tell you its not a choice. Second of all, there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, with or without the Bible, as the Bible doesn't mention it, but mentions idolatry, prostitution, and rape. Sin denotes wrong. There is nothing wrong with homosexuality, hence theres no reason to prove it right, just like theres no reason to prove someone with blue eyes right. Lol, every religious person i debated on numerous forums all fall into the same pattern, and sound exactly the same. Do you guys have meetings or something to condemn homosexuality? But the result is always the same, they lose the argument, and leave the thread. All i see you doing here is further trying to twist the words. Its not wrong, or a sin according to the bible. Oh, and go OBAMA!

Homosexuality is not a sin. Many Christians misinterpret cherry picked lines either intentionally or unintentionally. Scholars who have recently studied the Bible in context of other lines and of the times have shown those passages often cited, such as Leviticus's "man lieth with man" have to do with idolatry, rape, and prostitution. Thats why Jesus never mentioned homosexuality as well, but clearly

mentions love for everyone.

Various books have been written on this issue. Real Christians dont need links though as proof, as homosexuality is not wrong, immoral, and doesnt harm others.

No its not wrong.

Read my reply on what this passage really means. Leviticus 20:13 refers to idolatry, not homosexuality.
