And I know even more people who begged God for decades to change their orientation and he said no.

Basic logic Tara. It doesn't matter if humans were made higher. If God created homosexual animals, that means homosexuality is part of God's design, and thus cannot be inherently wrong, unless God can be wrong.

If God never intended homosexuality to exist in his creation, it wouldn't exist among the species that can not choose it, or understand that it's wrong.

Well, since Biblically, Satan is controlled by God that's not exactly surprising. However, in 99.9% of humanity, God does not change anyone's orientation.

Let me guess, you're going to claim the millions of gay believers who have spent years and years ruining their life over praying to get God to change their orientation, with absolutely no change just didn't pray hard enough?

So according to the word of God, slavery and rape is okay in the name of having children. Yeah, that's really a book I want to live by.
God is not mocked. You have chosen to use God's word against the word of God. This is nothing new. Satan did it time and again talking to Jesus about the word of God.

As I said. God will do what he wants as God does for his creation. God is not mocked.

Satan has created your sexual orientation to the unnatural. You defend your gayness because you have made it your complete being . There is a reason God said he gave them up to a reprobate mind.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Furthermore, because they did not think it worthwhile to keep knowing God fully, God delivered them to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done.

And because they decided in themselves not to know God, God handed them over to a worthless mind so that they would be doing whatever is inappropriate,

Kindergarteners don't need to learn about homosexuality, or heterosexuality. I don't think that kids should be told what to think about homosexuality, let them form their own opinions.

You atheists are fighting an impossible uphill battle. 83% of Americans identify as Christians. Only 1.6 million (0.5%) identify as Atheist
