Question: If God is so great and wonderful, why would he create homosexuality in the first place?
When
you answer that question, then you may earn the right to judge. Otherwise, you better leave that job up to God.
Answer: First we must answer the question of whether or not God did in fact create homosexuality.
Since when did God create issues and personal passions? He created the capacities and abilities for these things: "the Heavens and the Earth" - the human body. In short, God created people and things; He didn't create homosexuality any more than He created homosexual marriages,
abortions, lust, incest, or the love a man
may have for golfing, racing, dancing, track & field, or Anna Kornikova.
Did God also create every other sexual deviation from straight relationships, including polygamy, swinging, bestiality, prostitution, pedophilia,
incest, pornography, infidelity, and rape? Many people would consider one or more of these as normal. Does that mean God created
them to think that way?
Did God also create homophobes, perhaps?
If
the answer is yes, then we can easily conclude that God also creates alcoholics (hey, they aren’t hurting anyone else
either, so let them make their own decision right?), and flashers, etc. Why did God create thistles, anthrax, poison ivy,
and hurricanes? Poison ivy is not a normal plant, and hurricanes don’t show normal weather.
Clearly
the argument that God made homosexuals that way and it’s therefore OK doesn’t seem to hold very much logic. God created the human body; he created
the chemicals in the human brain; he created us with choices to make, and health concerns to take abnormal, unhealthy, inhuman, or unnatural turns. He did not, however, create mankind
with those choices and health issues automatically in place, as long as there’s something we can do about them: a response.
Homosexuals,
just like pedophiles and porn addicts, should
be respected as human beings, abide by the same law, and be given the same rights. That doesn’t mean that, just
because they’re part of God’s creation, they’re perfectly healthy.
About
homophobia:
In
modern society, there is a great need to eradicate heterophobia and homophobophobia, and put an end to the societal progression
toward omni sexuality.
Perhaps
people are born homophobic also.
Just
as alcoholism comes from three different causes (according to
Alcoholics Anonymous), one of which is being born with deficient
levels of dopamine, all of which are related
to chemical imbalances of the neurochemical dopamine, scientific exploration of the biological anomaly known as homosexualism
clearly points to its very probable cause being a treatable case of excess or lacking genetic substance, element, or compound.
If people can use a 12-step program to treat themselves – albeit with some difficulty, resistance, and challenges -
of a disease called alcoholism which they may or may not have been born with, then one can easily deduce…
Homosexuals
are in fact not born homosexuals; they are likely born with a treatable deficiency or imbalance of one or more hormones, neurotransmitters,
or other medical chemicals (one of them possibly being testosterone). Conclusive evidence has yet to prove otherwise, as repeated
attempts to duplicate a study which claimed otherwise, has failed to reproduce results in favor of a “gay gene” and other eccentric hypotheses.

But
… the sanctity of marriage…!
Avis and Lauren, as married folk, don’t you realize that all those same-sex marriages are making a mockery of your respective marriages? They’re ruining it for everybody!
Another
argument I’ve heard advanced on the Fox Channel is: if you redefine marriage to include people of the same sex, you would also have to redefine it to include
a union between: (1) committed multiple partners (polygamists);
and (2) a person and animal (bestiality);
and (3) a person and an inanimate object (is there a word for this?).
***Logically,
Numbers 2 and 3 can be ruled out because an animal and object can’t consent to marriage. The polygamy argument is more
difficult to deal with, however…"
Actually,
not true... no very not true. People have been having happily (and not so happily) *arranged* marriages for thousands of years. One person, usually the woman, is
so far from giving consent it's not even funny.
So if an 11-year-old girl from Fackistan, Analia was to be given in an arranged marriage
to say... her father's clover field (hey, if it’s legal, why not?), what else might be on the horizon?
Yes,
the Fox Channel is 100% correct. Arranged marriages
happen all the time, and they don’t involve consent. Neither would the legalization of marriages to plants, animals, cars, and who the heck knows what else,
or of bisexual threesomes, polygamists, swingers, buggers (people who practice bestiality), prostitutes to pimps, non-violent
pedophiles to consenting children, “funny-uncles”
in consenting incestuous relationships with their nieces, and, while we’re at it, rape, as long as she grows
to like it after a while… since obviously, our society doesn’t see anything, consent, morals or otherwise, as
much of a baring on what is accepted. It all
has to do with how much propaganda and legislative power any given minority group may poses.
