  1. It illustrates we are more belief than evidence seeking beings.

  2. Because the humans that wrote the bible said so.

  3.  @bluecannibaleyes  Why a defect? define defect for us.

  4.  @bluecannibaleyes  Being born with a tendency to embrace homosexuality in later life could be considered a birth defect. But if so, it's a harmless one in the sense that it's not associated with any proven, inherent behavioral or mental disorder.

  5. Maybe so. But there would be no need for such marches to begin with in the absence of past (and present) bigotry.

  6. Agree. Let kids have a real childhood for cripes sake. No trans seminars for 1st graders please. If Kevin wants to change his name to Caitlin, then you can take 30 seconds to tell your class of 1st graders and leave it that.

  7. Doesn't really do that for most gays though. The unraveling and collapse of the "ex gay" movement and its recanted ministers is the hard proof.

  8. Well since the bible was written by humans, it's hardly surprising the door is narrow.

  9. But it doesn't necessarily mean it in itself is a sufficient condition for being gay.

  10. The truth seems to be there's no evidence of a gay preference in animals, but there's plenty of documentation of "gay sex" in animals.

  11. Never. For one reason, it's more than just that, though it is that too, to be sure.

  12. They do it to everyone for the most hard to fathom reasons. Not just alleged cultist conspiracy crackpots (no offense) but for even the most innocent website names that are posted.

  13. But we may be born with tendencies toward becoming gay or straight. The whole subject is till fraught with uncertainty.

  14. I would would say Brandan and Candice are also in that category. What the discussion says to me more than anything is we humans are more in seek of belief than the hard evidence that underlies those beliefs. For example, little if any discussion of the evidence the Bible is God's word here. That is simply taken as given by believers. The hard evidence is frequently asked for, but so far as I am aware, never been proven by the standards of today's 21st century standards of evidence. If I am wrong, do direct me to it.
