    If, in your opinion, there is no genetic reason for a person to be gay, then how do they become gay?

    Yes, Homosexuals being Christians is a good thing. Where I live, most of the Christians churches welcome homosexuals.

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    ^^ let the Lord make that determination, but you're entitled to have your opinion on the issue. This is no different than when some Christians felt inter-racial marriages was an unforgivable sin and the legalization of it was promoting immortality. Some Christians still believe interracial...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    The theory that masturbation is what causes boys to be homosexual has been debunked simply because if it were true, all boys would have become homosexual. There are lots and lots legends like that date back centuries, like the one where girls become lesbians if they don't have sex with a older...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    The bible is very much open to interpretation, which is why Christianity continues to evolve for the past 2000 years. Christianity continues to become a better religion because Christians themselves become more Christ like as ignorant beliefs are left behind.

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    At the heart of my effort is combating ignorance. Ignorance is bad for Christianity as it always has been. Its like Cancer, it takes something that is good, and eats away at it. When people set aside what is good in Christianity to endorse persecution and oppression of others, that is when...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    We are all are free to express and defend our personal beliefs, and debate those beliefs. I have no difficulty with people stating their personal opinions\beliefs. Christians believe a wide range of thing things. Its normal and friendly disagreement is to be expected. Personally, It does not...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    ^^^...This is your belief, not all Christians believe this this to be true. What you believe is of no concern to me other than if you take action to harm\harass others or seek to limit to their opportunities\freedom. God will judge each person on their own merits, and how God decides to judge...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    I won't argue that the best interest of the child is the highest priority, it just a matter of how to evaluate the couple. Hate to see that couples are ranked by their wealth no matter how long they have been waiting, and the rich always get higher priority over others with less wealth who have...

    What do you believe causes about 10% of world population to be homosexual?

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    This one example of how Christians approach being a Christian differently. Some practice being a Christian by considering what a person believes is far more important than what a person does, so they focus on their interpretation of the bible with the idea that upon death, God evaluates their...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    And its always better for a couple to plan\want to have children than have children be born to parents who did not want to have children, but weren't properly using contraception. In the past I have semi-joked that nobody should be allowed to have children until they are 25, and have gotten a...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    I think most of what you wrote is reasonable. On the issue of adoption and\or as to who legally is allowed to raise children, it really can't be based on who is BEST qualified because it could be argued that Christians are the better qualified over non-Christians (ie other religions) or...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    My experience has been that if a Christian person, group, or churches has a specific belief, they are able to find support for their belief in The Scriptures. I used slavery as one basic example of where in the past it was commonly accepted (at that time) that slavery was justified. Now 150...

    ^^^.....I have been a Christian all my life, coming from a family for Christians going back many generations. A several generations back (150 years ago), my Christian ancestors bought\sold slaves for a living. Including the buying\selling of children away from their slave parents. I can only...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    Selene, here is example of one Christian who fully beliefs that homosexuals teach\brainwash children to become homosexuals. There are others who share his belief and I would conclude want laws that prevent homosexuals from having contact with children, therefor it would be against the law for...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    I like what you wrote, it reasonable and expects people to live by laws, not the moral expectations others. A few years ago a Fundamentalist Christian organization sued a local school district for not revealing the sexual orientation of all teachers so that parents could make sure their...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    Christians often agree and often disagree, this is normal and common. What you believe to be the word of God is not always what all other Christians believe. Christians believe many different things on all topics, that does not means some are Christians, and some are not, it simply means they...
