    Just wondering... We've got certain posters here(that I cant mention or ill probably get yelled at) that'll make up crap like that and have nothing to back it up or base it on.

    I think a lot of people wouldnt admit to having homosexual friends for fear of being criticized. Although I have to say, I havent seen too much of that on this board. Then again, I AM a semi-new member and havent really said anything to piss anyone off. So I cant really see anyone comming at me like that. Im sorry. I thought your post was a segway into you degrading me for having homosexual friends.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>No, we learned about this last month. It is something in the brain that attracts to things. It is the same oh how some guys prefer blondes over brunettes, and others prefer red heads. It's the way you brain funtions, and it also can change. Your brain could like women today, and like men tommorow.</div>Research...links...please, show me evidence. You can't prove anything of what you're saying.By the way, a few years ago, our church had a series about medical issues, and we talked about this very thing...I would post what we said, if I could find the notes...

    It's a choice. That will remain my view until some medical research proves otherwise.

    You guys have to remember that there isn't just Gay and Straight. There are guys out there who sleep with men but wouldn't consider themselves gay. Now that is a choice. But being attracted and having deep feelings for someone of the same sex is a little more complicated. Not too many people can choose to do that. A man falling in love with another man is in most cases not a choice, it's how that guy feels.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Rok @ Oct 2 2006, 08:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>:HAHAHA: I have to agree with BCB on this one. Reason being, most homosexuals do indeed say they did not choose to be gay but were in fact born gay. It's coming straight from their mouths.</div>I am skinny but I am straight. I agree with BCB as well it just happens, I know this bi girl, who just says she just is gay and has been that way.

    Some people maybe do choose.. like those people who have a hard time with the female. that never seem to have luck....But I would say 99% of the time your born with it . Even though it can take you a while to figure out your gay

Anyone with half a brain or knows gay people knows that it's something they were born with. Your opinion would be agreed with in most retirement homes.

    OK, I'll go more in depth later, but just two things:1. If homosexuality is a choice, and isn't a choice, then how are gay people who become Christians able to stop?2. This whole thing is based on the so-called "pioneering" work of Alfred Kinsey, who was a perv to the worst degree. He used children in his sexual experiments, and also called rape an experience "easily fogotten."

Wow, thats kind of ironic (Considering all the gay priests that raped little boys). Gays that become Christians are a very small percentage and are probably in denial or surpressing their homosexuality...If they do 'stop' they are still probably homosexual, they just don't act out with it... Alfred Kinsey was a sicko...I don't see how he has anything to do with this debate.

Homosexuals that turn Christian and say they are no longer gay in my opinion are just covering it up a vast majority of the time.
