This post is for BadMojo. While I understand and respect your particular beliefs, I must disagree with your method for arguing your point. God, in
fact,
does create homosexuality. It appears in other species besides humans. Read here:

As a practicing Christian (I'm assuming based on your references to reading the Bible) you should know that God is perfect. We will accept this as
fact for the purpose of this debate. As a practicing Christian, you should also know that
ALL of the texts of the Bible were written by men.
Men are not perfect, becuase they are not God. We will also accept this as fact for the purpose of this debate. My question to you is
HOW can
you accept, blindly and without reason, the Bible as 100% fact and the word of perfect God, when it was in fact, written 100% by
imperfect men?
Your entire focus on the wrongness of homosexuality is based entirely on an imperfect literary work. Because the authenticity of the Bible is a
matter of
BELIEF and not
FACT, it is not an acceptable resource for a scientific argument. Based on your previous statements, I will
assume that you also disagree with Evolution theory and Relativity theory, as being fundamentally against the teachings of the Bible. Therefore, sir,
your arguments are irrelevant and unwelcome in a standardized debate format.
It is exactly these kind of statements that ruin the advancement of knowledge. The same Bible that advises against Homosexuality, the same Bible that
describes the world was created in 7 days, also advises that you should never eat pork. When was the last time you had bacon with breakfast?
IF we accept the book of Genesis as fact, Eve ate the apple of the tree of knowledge. Therefore, while the penalty may have been expulsion
from paradise, knowledge (and the pursuit of it) are what we are left with. Therefore, a debate of this sort, while you may disagree with
homosexuality, does not have room for your anti-homosexuality rhetoric as the Bible cannot be counted as irrefutable proof other than in your own
belief. Therefore, please take your closed minded hate mongering elsewhere, otherwise provide some substantial, factual, scientific evidence
that supports your belief.
