For homosexual-behaviour, of many different kinds, is found in Nature after all, and in many species, not just in human-beings (Sonoron skinks, several species of fish who reproduce asexually, and Bonobos, to name just three species off the top of my head). The very fact that it is found in abundance in Nature means it is natural, and there is nothing “unnatural” about it … just the way God intended, I assume. I think God loves unending, limitless variety in all things ~ ’cause that’s what It created … and the bible (what I like to call the “buy-bull”) doesn’t have much to do with It.

Why is that? In the closet are we?

“Sorry Martina, point of correction – the Bible has not “evolved”. The Word of God does not change. Don’t force the issue. God’s love for everyone is not in doubt, but He hates sodomy.”

Do you even know what sodomy means? You don’t think straight men do that? You’re a fool. Of course the bible has changed over the years – get your head out of the sand. And if it hasn’t changed, why are blacks and mixed race couples allowed to marry? Hell, why are you even allowed to SPEAK and voice an opinion, woman?

The concept of sexual orientation – gay, straight or otherwise – is not in it. It’s irrelevant to my life and about as useful as a 2,000 year old medical advice book.

The Word of God is the ONLY thing we have that will stand forever. It is immutable and does not follow the fashion trends and whims of fallen mankind. America will one day soon realize why our Creator was so adamantly opposed to homosexuality. It is abominable to Him because it opposes His design for a man or a woman’s natural desires, thus hindering his purpose regarding the procreation process. This is neither a political nor ethically biased statement, but the truth.

Ed: Of course you are assuming that God exists Dr John. And while you may believe he does, as is your choice, do you think it is fair to impose your choices on others?

I think anyone who would stand up for what they believe in and that’s not hurting anyone is a great model since nowadays everyone’s taught to follow the herd in their thinking…

Everything – phylosophical, physical, spiritual, artistic, EVERYTHING needs balance, defined rules. Now if heterosexuality is normal – a proper balance and a defined rule by human nature – then why should we be homo?

I have no problem with gay people. Au contraire, I don’t give a damn about gay people – get as gay as you want – but I think it’s about time we considered the implications of where this is going for the human race.

Lesbian couples can have children through medical technology, but not so for the gay ones. If every family is projected to have 2.2 children and and 1 out of 10 couples are gay men and women, we have a bit of a problem.

I’m not homphobic – I just love the world as it is, and would like to see it remain that way thank you very much.

Not one person has made an intelligent and accurate remark on this feature.

1) You dont chose to be gay. Those born with one too many X or Y chromozomes have no choice.
2)There is nothing “wrong”, with being gay or lesbian and if two guys or girls fall in love and wish to share a home together, go ahead.
3) To attempt to bring another human being, a child, into that union is fundamentally wrong and violates the rights of that child to be brought up with a Mum and Dad as “the ideal” even though we all know marriages can and do go wrong. The child has no choice and may not be gay itself so to introduce it to same sex relationships immediately is just warped.
4) The bible hasnt “evolved,” and that’s the tough part about Christianity: God’s laws are set in stone, are unchanging and cannot be manipulated to suit modernity. Gays or lesbians should not get married in Church as this is simply against God’s laws which are sacrosanct. By all means, wed in a registry office but to do so in a Church is simpply audacious and we have no right to do that.
5) Finally, as a lesbian Christian, I know Christ loves all of sorts of people (even murderers whom he cries out for) and isn’t against my being gay. However, I wouldnt dream of getting married to my partner in a church or trying to bring a child into my union; Christ and I have too much respect for each other to do that.

LOL that homo-hating bitch. Just ignore her. She needs to evolve and openly welcome homosexuality as more and more open minded people already are.

Many species go about having intercourse with anyone they see but for Christians fornication is condemned. Why the big deal in relation to homosexuality? Why so many fanatical gays today?

Actually we’d all rather have opposite sex partners, but you know it’s kind of fun to choose one of the same sex. It’s particularly fun when you’re a teenager, as is topping yourself when the taunts and bullying get too much to bear. You really are an astute judge of human nature, nice one, Madge!

Firstly, she believes that allowing gay marriage would ruin society yet she assumes the right to set up her own church, an act which would have been considered heresy in another age (and probably punished by death). So her brand of religious change is good, but any other is evil?
Secondly, any time someone claims that people choose to be gay makes me question whether that person has homosexual leanings but has chosen not to act on them, and by extension believes that if she can resist her natural inclinations, then so should the rest of us. Surely if you are 100% heterosexual, it would never occur to you that you could choose to be anything other than is your natural inclination.
