Funny how both of you just completely ducked his very relevant questions. Seems like you're both at a loss as to how to answer the questions to those Biblical passages. And yet we're supposed to just rally around the anti-gay passages because 'the Bible says so'? Are you ignorant of those other passages? How must people proceed? If you're so confident in the anti-gay passages, why aren't you as confident with the others? And yes, they are very relevant to this thread, and not the religion forum, since it seems they all come from the same book of the Bible being used here to put forth your arguments.

First, there was gay marriage. Now, we have men authorized to compete in mixed martial arts against women, because they believe they are females. Their argument ? I was born a female. Example, fallon Fox:

"there are probably several genes that affect sexual orientation. We don't know where they are yet."

Same as usual.

As it turns out, this "scaffolding" functions as an interface that interacts with your environment. Based on the lifestyle choices you make, the epigenome has the power to turn genes on or off, changing the way your body translates your genetic coding into the proteins that make up YOU.


Your Genetic code can be changed and is not set in stone
Show me the study....All I get from this site is changes that affect offspring in mice...It says nothing about the ability to change anything after birth.

Never mind, I found the study...It is about inherited genes. C H O R I | Current News

While many studies in humans have hinted that environmental agents – such as diet, or exposure to toxins – could also result in changes to epigenetic states, none of these studies had the genetic backing to prove it.

Did you purposely omit mentioning the two they did find?

I read back over your posts and don't see where you addressed it.

Tell you what, sport...If you don't like gay sex, then don't have gay sex, and if you don't like gay marriage then don't marry the same sex....Why can't people like you mind your own business anyway?

If you're not gay yourself, it's not your place to say that homosexuality is a "choice". Only an ignorant sheltered person would think that it is a choice.

This video does not mention at any time that any gene was found. You must be confused.

I guess former homosexuals are ignorant and sheltered too. In the original post I linked their testimonies, and those testimonials sure angered a lot of people who are currently engaged in the homosexual lifestyle.
