Can Homosexuality and the Christian Faith Exist Together?

If not, then what are you saying causes one to be gay?

Nobody knows. To bad no one is actually satisfied with that answer, despite it being true.

Stating the gay gene is in fact a myth does not mean I am saying they are lesser in worth than everybody else.
In fact, the only thing I am saying is just that, there is no gay gene.
What difference does it make that they are born that way or not?
They are productive members of society either way, so why would pointing this out be homophobic?
Your adding your own perception of me to the context of my post, which is absurd.
If a person wants to be homosexual, or becomes homosexual, or is somehow born that way is irrelevant
to their worth. They are no less, and no more than you or I.
But there still is no proof of this so called gay gene.

I understand your point of view. I'm saying you're wrong about the science. Genes cause being who you are, as in being gay. When you claim it's a choice, you give homophobes a reason why they are 'correct' about it being a choice and a sin. They then use that to discriminate. How can you not understand these simple statements of fact???

Homosexuality is environmentally produced, in the sense that sexuality and gender is a spectrum and bisexuality exists in even greater numbers among humans than one-sex homosexual orientation, according to the largest study done on human sexuality, per the Kinsey Report on Human Sexuality.

In that sense one can go one or both ways, so in part that makes THAT part OF THE HOMOSEXUAL equation a potential choice..

Additionally, there are current primitive cultures that exercise free sex from puberty, where the culture is one of making babies for survival, FOR greater numbers of humans, FOR greater effectiveness of the sum of social cooperation in what is described as the 'work of the night', where there are no words for homosexuality or masturbation in the language.

But of course, culture and religion AND even recorded written and spoken language CAN BE powerful repressors, oppressors, and subjugators through illusory fears, of GOD given human nature, per natural feelings and senses.

Perhaps, the most well known example of this is FGM, Female Genital Mutilation; still a widespread practice, in some African Muslim countries, where women see taking away a GOD given organ of the clitoris that is only evolved for pleasure, as a sign of self-esteem.

That's just insane, and proves that culture, religion, and even written language that supports these mutilation practices is the same, in this way.

The Bonobo, is the only primate, except for humans, that share in face to face kissing for pleasure, oral sex, and front to front sex.

The difference among Bonobos and other primates, other than humans, IS that the Bonobo obviously has a much greater propensity to share feelings of emotion and senses through the AFFECT and effect OF EMOTIONAL CONTAGION through MIRROR NEURONS.

NOW TO BE CLEAR, SCIENCE DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY PROVE THE DEAL ABOUT EMPATHY and mirror neurons among Bonobos; but I have enough frigging affective empathy by way of mirror neurons myself, to see it in the 'eyes', uniquely the similar to human primates, in Bonobo eyes and other facial expressions.

When a human can share in the pleasure of others, and truly cares about others this way through affective/emotional empathy, much of the pleasure is in giving others pleasure, in all ways that can happen. So many sexual practices, alternate to procreation become the norm, as pleasure given in all ways of human reciprocal communication, is a way for peace instead of strife.

Make Love NOT WAR, is a REAL DEAL FOR BOTH HUMAN PRIMATES AND BONOBOS, WHO ARE FREE TO DO THAT IN ALL WAYS THAT CAN BE DONE. SO YEAH, IN THIS WAY, PORNOGRAPHY IN most all the VICARIOUS AND VIRTUAL MIRROR NUERON WAYS IT IS PROVIDED CAN BE AT LEAST ONE POTENTIAL ANSWER , FOR PEACE FOR HUMAN BEINGS, unless violence is promoted in it, of course.

It is transparent as hell to me, when I 'hear' and 'see' a psychopathic leaning mind, in metaphor, in ways of not sharing this affective empathy by the 'cold hearts of eyes, ears and tongues', and other senses and feelings, and even the cold hearts of words that can reflect those 'cold eyes of human being death in life'.

This happens for many reasons, from childhood neglect in the first two years of life and or through social stress, and or generally speaking chronic stress before and or later in life.

But seriously for this deficit of humanity, this is where most hate is generated, in the eyes of 'cold dead hearts and souls, out of mind and body balanced in both emotions and senses; losing the ability to connect in the emotional and affective empathy of love in all associated senses and feelings.

And on top of that; a major 'cause of human misery and suffering is over-population, globally speaking.

MOST, Any turn away from intercourse, is a way out of human misery and suffering for the human race, overall, in the
long term..

3500 years ago things are not the same;

But times are A changing and not to evolve with GOD AS IS
IS
FGM-like Insanity..

Nobody knows. To bad no one is actually satisfied with that answer, despite it being true.

Ok, time for some clarification.

What do believe is that we shouldn't accept lgbt folks purely on the basis they are born that way.
If they aren't, people will try to change them, if they are some lgbt will think they are trapped.
What I am saying is, we need to accept them on the basis they are human, living and breathing.

As for the gay gene, I tend to lean on the it is a myth side because I believe to not know and to still accept
lgbt folks as equals is more compassionate than accepting them purely because they have no choice in the matter of who they want to have sex with.

To know would mean many people may say they accept lgbt folks as equals, but only because they can't help it,
and that isn't genuine.

I am by no means a homophobe, nor do I think of lgbt folks as lesser, I would just rather their own choices define them, not the chemicals in their body.

I think it is chemical thanks to DNA.

"To have any part of me defined by something as insignificant and worthless as DNA,
makes my blood boil."

What nonsense. Without DNA, you would not exist at all!

I know that. You are not getting my point.
It is as enraging as the predestiny myth to have someone say, "oh its just your DNA"
To have my choices, my values, my favorite foods, my skills, and my love for any woman chalked up to DNA makes no sense at all. To have who I molded myself to be chalked up to, "Oh you were born that way" is infuriating.

I'm not nice to people because of DNA.

You just got lucky (at least for the things you like) in the DNA lottery and you want to take all the credit for it. When a person is born on third base, he or she can't claim a triple...
