I have, and do read the Bible, and nowhere in it does it say that homosexuality is a choice.

Well, most are just that. Stories. And I'd like to see the passage in the Bible that suggests homosexuality is a choice?

Religious people - Christians are not alone in that - have to make it a matter of choice, otherwise there would be no guilt and thus no hell

The Bible sums up homosexuality in 12 words: Thou Shalt not lie with mankind as with womenkind; it is abomination (Leviticus 18:22). Because of these 12 words I am hated and death is wished upon me by my family. Because of these 12 words I am told I am demon possessed and if I would just get an exorcism or go to an Exodus International camp, I would be cured. Because of these 12 words I am told that everything bad that happens to me is something I deserve and it will all end with God laughing at me while throwing me into hell. Because of these 12 words I live in fear every day because what if the religious radicals are right....God may soon pour out his wrath on me. Because of these 12 words I feel worthless as a human being because I can't just wake up one day and be straight like the church says I can. I know for a fact that I did not choose this lifestyle but I am not sure God even cares. The God I grew up to believe in is a hateful, vengeful, vicious God and I have a hard time wrapping my mind around any other version of "God". I am borderline atheist but I fear God too much to go the whole way. What if they are right?

Amazing how in today's world there are still some morons who think Homosexuality is aquired and not biological.
Shows how the cuts in Education are affecting America.
