So there you go. Give me your bible quotes (which Im sure you have some), and we shall have a great discussion.
How does this make them unbiased? When a person begins a "study" with a certain outcome in mind to prove his theory, you have bias. Universities are most definitely not unbiased based on my own personal experiences.

And the Bible has...
The words of a bunch of long dead village men? I think I'll believe the findings of organizations like the APA, thanks.
Your Bible has nothing. You can put as much "faith" into that as you want...but don't you dare insinuate that that can be a valid substitute to repeatable, proveable scientific studies.
And exactly what proveable science is there to corroborate the story of your bible?
Atleast these organizations have study upon repeatable study to back up their claims. Christianity doesn't.
I'm not trying to prove anything to you other than most posters can debate on this forum without attacking a group of people out of what can only be described as hate. Nobody is trying to force christianity on you and I can't understand why you keep saying that. We have a right to express our opinion whether there is scientific evidence or not. We aren't attacking anyone with quotes of " You gay people..... or " "You immoral, ignorant anti-christians......". There are much more mature ways of getting people to consider your point without say "You people........."
First off, I'm not gay. Secondly, this isn't a debate.
It's me demonstrating to you that organizations like the APA and others who have studied the causes of homosexuality (with a number of hghly qualified psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, etc) all come to one conclusion: it is a normal, valid alternative to heterosexuality.
So there is no debate. Your bible has nothing. You and people who accept your bible have chosen to cast stones at gays....fine. But that still doesn't give you any evidence whatsoever to back up your claims about homosexuality.

The natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are not spiritually discerned.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith as it is written. The just shall live by faith.

How is telling our belief and answering questions about why we don't believe in something, casting stones? I don't need any evidence to back my Bible. I have faith in God, my creator. This is my peace within myself and I'm not casting stones at you because you don't have that faith. You have a right to speak your view, but not the right to condemn me because I speak mine.
