  34. As a bisexual guy I've been wrestling with this question myself. I've never given up on my faith but I'm trying to work through it and figure it out, and I came to the same conclusion as you that trying to do a buffet of God's teachings to match our modern values (like many denominations that try to contort Christianity via selective verses to be pro-gay) is a mistake, yet at the same time it's hard to square how to handle the situation other than being celibate towards the same sex. It's easier for me because I'm bi and mostly into women, but it's even harder to imagine how to square that as someone who's truly homosexual. Do they just give up all romance and love, and become celibate monks as the Bible says? Maybe that's the hard truth of it. I'm not sure yet. I do feel that the solid doctrine and tradition of many ancient faiths are a guiding principal that shouldn't have been abandoned. Even if, as atheists say, none of it is real, it has to be measured on the actual physical benefit. And believing there is no God largely leads to pointless hedonism, nihilism and self-aggrandizement with no thought for the future. People who are religious are statistically more happy than those without, so at that point what does the "truth" matter when people are doing things like killing themselves at an unprecedented rate because of believing there's no hope or point in life? The answers non-religious philosophies give are always high minded but never practical for the average person compared to the tenets of religions that are founded on thousands of years of deep thought and introspection.
