But see, PCB, that difference in your post and the previous one is that you are saying what you believe and what your opinion is. And you are absolutely correct, no one has the right to call another's beliefs or opinions wrong. It IS wrong, however, to state a belief or an opinion as a matter of fact, as was done in the other post. If you are going to state something as a literal fact ... i.e., "God did not make people gay. It was a way of life they chose.", then you'd better have something concrete to back that up. If you are saying, "My belief is ... My opinion is ...", then that is fine and well, and entirely up to you to belief whatever you choose. You are just stating how you feel, not stating a universal fact.



Who in their right mind would choose to be gay knowing the ridicule and suffering they go through at the hands of people like you? That alone is enough to make me believe that being gay is not something you choose.
I agree. Anyone who has ever personally known someone who is gay knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that they did not choose to be gay, in any way, shape or form. Most homosexuals are tormented by their "abnormal" thoughts, feelings, emotions and attractions, and try to "change" and stay "in the closet" for years, decades, or sometimes their whole lives.

I have a friend who grew up a devout Catholic, and said he "spent twenty-five years praying every day for God to make me heterosexual, to let me find women attractive" Now, tell me, then, KBlaix ... here is a man who wanted more than anything to be heterosexul, to be "normal", to do what was right in his God's eyes. He prayed about it for twenty-five years, daily. He is still homosexual, of course. How can that be a "choice" he made?

Could you "choose" to become homosexual tomorrow?

God also said, "Judge not, lest ye shall be judged." And, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
