Okay this thread has gone on for many many pages already so it feels pointless to even post...
But you seem to be yet another Christian who doesn't have the first idea who or what Satan is in the Bible and how the figure was changed.
Today Satan is the end-all-be-all Nemesis to God, the closest thing to a rival that God actually has (which itself is ridiculous because an all powerful being cannot be rivaled).
In the Bible, particularly the Old Testament, Satan WORKS FOR GOD as a prosecution attorney who convicts humans of their sins. You can see this in the book of Job very prominently when Satan is escorted by angels to God and begins accusing Job, that's why the word Satan means accuser or adversary. He wasn't GOD'S enemy he was mankind's enemy meant to find our hidden sins and expose them.
The notion of Satan as arch-evil nemesis of God comes from Christian teachings and writings and a melding of numerous myths throughout the centuries. They combined Lucifer, Baal (Beelzebub), and Satan to create this character. So please before you blame Satan do some research into who and what Satan actually is in mythology.
Now onto the part about gays. I have no idea what you're on about in this OP in regards to the genetic code. We still haven't found the so-called "gay gene". Homosexuality, however, has been observed in dozens of different species so at the worst its evolutionarily benign and, in fact, it may have advantages. For example let's say you have a fairly large family with 5-10 siblings, one might well turn out gay thus upping the chances of the others in passing on their genes (because they no longer have to compete), a sort of sexual altruism.
I really can't understand why people think social progress is a sign that the "Powers that Be" are at work doing something sinister. Would you say the same thing about the Civil Rights movement, racial integration and the decriminalization of interracial marriage? Would you see something sinister in President Lincolns move to abolish slavery. And yet here's a bunch of people who just want to be able to get married but can't because of gender discrimination and discrimination based on sexual orientation and you see some dark agenda moving in the shadows that involves both the Elites AND Satan. Sheesh.
I dont care about Satans detailed history, knowing all that would do nothing for me, just waste space in my mind. I do not need all the answers, all I need is my faith, and to cherish this gift of a life I am fortunate enough to have.

Gosh darn it I am not homophobic,
I was more curious about genetic manipulation, .
yeah. sure youre not.
you have a gay friend and he is cool.
more concerned with genetic manipulation but you dont really talk about it.
up till this point i have not seen you answer boymonkeys direct question. i will assume you have not answered it in later posts so i will ask again.
why do you cherry pick things from the bible? why do you pick and choose what to believe?
im sure you wont answer.
also you say you are not religious but you follow christ. here is a secret. that means you are religious.
however, you like most everyone else pick and choose what parts you want to follow and believe in.
kind of a drag.
you said you are about to hit 30 and your big ass epiphany is that the gay rights movement is a sinister agenda...
that totally sucks and i feel bad for your gay friend.
matter of fact, how can you feel like the gay rights movement is sinister yet be friends with this person?
you sure dont sound like any friend i want to have
There, and elsewhere, we see, among other things, a fanatical push to abolish all right of inheritance, to end home and religious education, to dissolve monogamy in marriage, to pursue pre- and extra-marital sex, to foster and “tolerate” (as Engels put it) the “gradual growth of unconstrained sexual intercourse” by unmarried women, to nationalize all housework, to shift mothers into factories, to move children into daycare nurseries, to separate children into community collectives apart from their natural parents, and, most of all, for society and the state to rear and educate children
As Engels envisioned, “the single family ceases to be the economic unit of society. Private housekeeping is transformed into a social industry. The care and education of the children becomes a public affair; society looks after all children alike, whether they are legitimate or not.”
grand plan of Marx and Engels: They wanted “free education” for every child in “public schools.” No more of what they denounced as the “hallowed correlation of parent and child” and “bourgeois claptrap about the family and education.” Overall, stated Marx and Engels, “The communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional relations; no wonder that its development involves the most radical rupture with traditional ideas.” Yes, no wonder.
Among those ideas, at the epicenter, was natural, traditional, biblical family and marriage. It had to be targeted. Alas, only now, two centuries later, is it finally being redefined.
Students are tested on their understanding of sex issues every year for the 12 years they are school, and the views for each student on sex issues are being tested, recorded, and retained by Washington bureaucrats.
There is a heavy socio political content of sex throughout Common Core curriculum being taught in every grade and in every subject, the student is taught that there is a sameness of gender, there is no longer simply boys and girls according to Common Core. The sexual content of Common Core crosses into every curriculum taught, from teaching sexuality skills in sex education courses by specially skilled and trained sex education teachers. Sexual activities and content in included in every subject taught.
Look around, the heterosexual family unit is seldom the ideal model you put forward
yeah. sure youre not.
you have a gay friend and he is cool.

First, your Chromosome argument is flawed, there have been cases where a "Male" had two X Chromosomes ( de la Chapelle syndrome) , there have been Cases where a "Male" has had "Female" reproduction systems

You have no interest in truth then, only your preconceived biases. I'd invite you to open your mind and learn about your own Bible and how the beliefs regarding it have changed and diversified but you seem happy with your empty-headed ignorance.
Enjoy your lack of enlightenment
