Ah. So now he Godwins by bringing in pedophilia and bestiality. You really don't know anything about this issue, do you? Perhaps you should read the Hooker Study... oh wait... you'd probably dismiss it without a shred of evidence, just because your ignorance on this issue wouldn't allow you to even consider understanding it. Silly me.
There is nothing intelligible in this post. Just saying.
What in the heck is a "sexual preference disorder"?
Let me be clear on this much. Animals cannot consent to sex. Children cannot consent to sex. I am ordered enough to understand something that simple.
Seriously, watch the speech, it will bring tears to your eyes. So happy and proud of her. You can tell she was very nervous and this meant a lot to her.
Actress Ellen Page: "I am gay" - CNN.com
Not incapable just unwilling. Of course it would require a moral lobotomy to make me capable, but it could be done.
You're opinion of that person may not change, but it isn't really equivalent. Someone coming out as gay is usually new information, but in most situations most people, especially straight people, assume others are straight.
Not really. Kid's don't get thrown out of houses for coming out as straight. Comments similar to the hateful ones in this thread aren't said about straight people due to their sexuality.
How so? Does she recognize her temptation and chose to overcome it instead of living in that sin?
It's YOUR opinion of sin. My religion does not consider it a sin, therefore for me, your point is irrelevant.
I haven't read the whole study, just the summery of it on Wikipedia and another site. I however have a question. She points to there being no developmental issues or other psychological issues as proof. However, the same test results could also "prove" that depression, sociopathy and others, are also not mental issues by her standards. The lack of additional issues does not prove or disprove whether something is a mental disorder.
Wow, I am so proud of her, she joins three percent of the population and gets touted as a heroine. Why don't you people just STFU and stop flaunting your sexual activity? This is unbelievable and no wonder it is a polarizing issue. Keep your sexual activity to yourself. I am so sick and tired of this issue and people who "come out" being treated as someone special. With all the problems facing this country some people have interesting priorities and a different definition of what is important and worthy of hero status. You people are something else
In other words, you are unable to answer the questions posed.
No, it's God's view of sin which is absolute. All other beliefs and religions, when contrasted with truth, are simply just wrong. God doesn't judge sin based on what Digsbe, CaptainCourtesy, or what anyone else believes. He judges sin based on what He has set forth as absolute truth that we, as individuals, can either accept or reject.

Then don't comment. Real easy concept to grasp.
Personally, when I hear about someone "coming out" nowadays, usually I think two things:
1) No big deal... to me, it's equivalent to someone coming out as straight.
2) Somewhat brave in this climate, when even though there is more acceptance of homosexuality, we still see hateful, ignorant, bigotry around, similar to what we see from some in this thread.
Did God say this to you personally? Or have you interpreted your knowledge from a 2,000 year old book that was written in three different ancient languages and based on stories that were passed down orally?
No, it's YOUR interpretation of God's view of sin. My religion's view is correct, and all others are simply wrong, since it is my religion that sets God's absolute view of sin.
Now, we know that morals are not absolute, but relative, but if you want to play the absolute game. you'll lose there, too, since MY religion is what is absolute.

It's plainly in the Bible. Do you not believe that God can preserve His Word? We still have the original languages to reference by and there has been nothing to the contrary that God now approves of homosexual sex. The Bible is the Word of God, we have manuscripts of in the original languages that we translate by.
I believe that humans wrote the Bible, who may I remind you have free will. We humans then edited it, and re-edited it a whole bunch of times and it's mostly filled with irrelevant stories and myths from the bronze age. Yes, their is a main truth I believe that is in the Bible, which boils down to basically not being a dick and loving people as yourself. Which certainly doesn't leave room for believing that homosexuality is a sin, because that is kind of dick thing to believe. It also doesn't leave room for believing that people that don't believe in the exact same thing you believe are going to hell, which I believe is totally made up by humans because to me a loving God would never do that. It's all about how you treat people and how you live.
2Ti 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
Keep throwing it in my face and all over TV and I am going to comment. I don't give a damn what your sexual orientation is, quit flaunting it and quit acting like flaunting it is something to be celebrated.
People are born with a sinful nature, I never claimed that having same sex attractions was a choice by the person. However, how someone lives and what they do with their temptations is their choice.
