For those who have been raised to believe being gay isn't "natural" or the bible tells them it's wrong. I would ask first to remember that the people who raised you could have been wrong. Yep, we are taught things throughout generations as facts that may not be facts. I would also like to remind you that if you are going to follow one bible ruling, you should then follow the rest and as I pointed out in an earlier thread, no one wants to do that. I would also remind you (while I'm in a reminding mood) the bible says the earth is only 6000 years old and that it's flat. I think we all know that's not true.
Well.... I'm off to the market. Everyone have a wonderful day!

angelfox10: Certainly what you say has some validity but given the recalcitrant nature of young people I would say that despite religious belief or parental views most people form their own opinions.
I was reared strict catholic and was fortunate to have good hearted open and honest parents. Despite all of that at 17 I bolted out of the house to go my own way. I shredded everything I was raised to believe and vowed to start from the beginning. As to race I remained the same that as individuals ought to judged. so bad actors irrespective of what race or ethnicity are bad actors. As to the nature of this topic I hold no malice embrace and would defend and come to the defense of anyone who would take unfair advantage. This also has never changed even as a boy I admonition my friends when the would make fun of the kid that stuttered, etc.
What I am saying is that in most situations we eventually form our own opinions based on our experiences. I have a love-hate relationship with the church because I believe the fundamentals that formed its beginnings have been harmed by bad actors with political agendas. In my view the human race needs God or at least a higher power. Every society that moved away from that concept perished because secularism eventually creates people who only think of themselves.
In summary, I do not base my position on God or my parents opinion but on my view concerning this topic and only to the sociological aspects. For a preview of what might be just look at earlier societies and the effect of lifestyles on their great nations.
