God did not put in us the desire to sin. That is handed down from Adam and Eve.

It's odd how these threads always turn into a bible-thumping "sin" "god" fest. That sort of argument is not logical when you resort to "because god said". Here's a thought: why not take this god & bible out of the equation totally & think for yourself?

The point is that God commanded Adam and Eve (and indirectly their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply. We are equipped to fulfill that function. All men are not sterile and all women are not barren.

Men who are sterile can't reproduce. They do not sin in their sterility. Sexual conduct outside of a God defined marriage - hetero or homo - is sin.

Sorry, not everyone believes what you do, and for a country which constitutionally guarantees freedom of religion to withhold the right of marriage (something which has absolutely no effect on anyone no involved in the relationship) from gays is pretty despicable and hypocritical.

That said, I wonder whether this revelation is indicative of a deep-seeded personal denial, or a more cold-blooded matter of political exigency.

It's a shame that politicians on both sides of the aisle learn so quickly to put aside their real beliefs and feelings in order to remain political viable within their respective parties.

It's hard for a dude to come out of the closet sometimes. While his hypocrisy is gross, I hope he feels some sense of relief for "coming out." Probably should help clear up a lot of the confusing sticky messes in his personal life now.

I didn't know people still believe in fairy tails. Where is the DNA evidence to support this Adam and Eve theory? Because I see a lot more DNA evidence that points to us evolving from animals.

Be fruitful & multiply...like fruit flies? Like the Duggars? Hell no, why can't you people contain yourself? Keep it in your pants for gods sakes, therein lies the sin. You can't control yourselves.
