And for homosexuals, being chaste means being celibate. |

Neither are the correct answer as they can also take a hetero relationship. |

It would certainly be hell on earth. What kind of judgment is it that God would require this or anyone? Perhaps gays are more blessed and can do this. I don't know.

If I have one car and need only one car, it'd be rather gluttonous to have two. In any case, I think anybody who thinks that celibacy is so easy should take that vow themselves. |

And make someone into someone they arnt?
Why have a person live a lie...and take vows on top of that lie (living a lie to themselves is one of the worse things a person can do).
Living a lie kills a persons soul.

It's not a lie, it is pursuing the truth. |
