I'm not dense and I would remind you of the ToS. I really do not have any advice for you, your sexuality is yours alone.
Nope, Conservative/Fundamentalist Christians cherry pick whatever they don't like, and condemn others with verses that support their beliefs. Studies have already shown people create God in their own image. Whatever you don't like, is what God doesn't like.

Conservative Christians are generally ignorant, poorly educated, self-righteous, and hateful.

I'm not sure I've met one that doesn't fit that description, especially on the gay issue.

Jesus was not a Conservative by any stretch of the imagination. The Pharisees that he criticized were though.

This is exactly why I have no respect for you, the bolded esp.

I said nor implied any such thing. It's just kind of an arbitrary structure to compare. The brain has many structures and functions.

No one has a choice who they fall for. You just fall in love. You don't choose it--it just happens. Whether that person is the same sex or opposite sex is of little relevance.

My degree is in psych.

Why are you taking the low road here? You and I usually can talk amicably.

Which beliefs are those? Point out my posts for reference as well, to prove your point. You can't, b/c I have said nothing contrary to what God represents.

You are so far off, it's hilarious. I have a bachelor's degree, my IQ is in the gifted range, I am not a hateful person at all. I challenge you to give me an example of how I supposedly hate gays. Seriously. I even typed out a whole post about how I don't have a problem with gays, I just don't think it's right to be gay. If you want to keep putting words in my mouth, you are going on ignore and I will no longer respond to you.

We can? Most thinks you post, I find incredibly offensive.

I'm not taking the low road. I just find it presumptuous when heterosexuals think they know more about gay people than gay people themselves, including the gay people who have also majored in psych and even gone on to get doctorate degrees in psych.

No. Not one person has said that. I have repeated this time and time again on these forums...I do not give a crap if someone is gay, I don't treat them different, I don't think they are bad people, I don't think I'm better than them...I really do not care. I just don't think it's "right." I don't even think about it unless someone puts it in my face and essentially forces me to think about it. Y'all are so good at that here on C-D. You really need to stop with all this hyperbole and maybe you will get a better reception from us.
