So as far as you're concerned choosing to be a homosexual is absolutely no different from choosing to murder someone. Some people are going to choose to become murderers while fully aware serious repercussions from society will come about if exposed.

As would you.

Please read that before you insinuate (yet again) that I am a liar.

Sure it is. I associate with women in non-platonic manners, date, and choose to remain celibate until marriage.

Sex is not the end all of everything, nor is it the sole identifier of sexuality.

If you think that it is, I feel sorry for you.

You are missing out on the beauty of a relationship based on mutual affection.

From the viewpoint of sin, this is true.

There is no one sin that is "worse" than another.

All have fallen short of the glory of God, and all are in need of a savior.

Jesus Christ came to be the sacrifice for the redemption of the world, and all who believe in Him shall have life.

In order to repent, one must confess theiir sins.

This is what many murderers do, and they are no different that any other sinner from a spiritual standpoint.

The serious repercussions that you mention have nothing to do with being "exposed" - that takes place when a person is unjustifiably killed, and the act is exposed before the eyes of God already, and he knows all our hearts.

Finally we agree on something! A man who is attracted to women has a heterosexual orientation, whether he acts on it or not.

I'm glad you now comprehend the difference between sex acts and sexual orientation.

Off-topic. This belongs in the Religion forum.

"Sin" is a strictly religious construct that has no bearing on those of us who choose not to believe in your flavor of religion.

I comprehend the difference between sex and sexual preference.

Sexual orientation is a term invented to brainwash people into beleivng that there is a biological process responsible, not a learned and chosen behavior.

Don't put words into my mouth.

When I realized I was attracted to guys, I was completely unaware that homosexuality existed.

Please explain how that constituted "learned" behavior.

Complain to Stillwater.

I only answered her question.

I generally leave religion out of things unless I am directly asked about spiritual matters or asked a question that can't logically be addressed any other way.

The exception is when I am in the religion forum, which is a very rare occurence.
