Yes it is a sin. No-one is born gay. Being gay is a choice.
Why would anyone choose to be gay.
Seems to me, if the bible was right and considering all the persecution that exists there is no upside to being gay: therefore, why would anyone choose to be gay?
edit: on the billboard itself, it's likely they see all obstacles as gifts from god. Gay thoughts are just another obstacle to some religious folk.edit on 6/1/2011 by eNumbra because: (no reason given)

Will you forfeit wordly desires to love God? that is the main question God is asking through homosexuality.

Are you seriously saying - - - god made homosexuals as a test for them to not have sex?
If so - - - that is some serious brainwashing.

well... to some it may, but this is my belief:
the road is narrow... there is more to christianity than merely saying you are... you must bare your cross as well... i believe that the homosexuals path to eternal life is to throw away the desires of the world... just as mary magdalene gave up her job as a prostitute; although her job was to help pay for her wordly needs, she gave it all up just to follow Christ... says a lot, IMO.
and... Christ does love the sinners and did not come to call upon the righteous...

After becoming interested and reading everything about homosexuality for 20+ years - - - I no longer care what someone like you believes.
The homosexuals I worked with were all Christian. The idea that they should deny themselves the same life and opportunities as heterosexuals is not only ludicrous but insulting.
You still believe the prostitute story? Really?

first question: do you know me? personally?
i can attack you by using vulgar and derogatory words as well, but i choose not to. i can choose to condescend others by saying their opinions are not valid, but i choose not to. i can talk to you the same way you talk to me and you would hate it.

You shouldn't believe everything you read unless it was said by God... & God definitely condemns it as unnatural more than once... It may be natural to humans now, but it's not our standard we should be concerned about...
