tribulation easily, seeing it but putting his trust in the Lord,

...don't make us start the whole "Who created Steve?" thing. Because if G-d didn't make homosexuals, and homosexuals exist, then they are uncreated and co-eternal.

__________________ It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, oppressive, insipid. When faith is replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion -- its message becomes meaningless. - Abraham Heschel

Yet it is very practical and sensible a position. And of course it is a fact.
Because if G-d didn't make homosexuals, and homosexuals exist, then they are uncreated and co-eternal.
Hmm, I can think of a lot of examples of different kinds of sexuality that exists in human beings, but I'd get in much trouble with the mods if I start offering up certain ones as also being created by God and therefore to be celebrated.
Also, it seems rather clear in the Bible that God created all of the peoples He subsequently judged and destroyed for doing abominations before Him. Were not these people also "created" by God?
In your logic, "anything goes" really does, as long as you make it out of the womb for a period of time.

conspiracy theories replace the creation story? hardly....
So no God created male and female.. Homosexuals are the ones who decide to 'chose" not to be that what God intented them to be
It is pretty simple... You are a female you have female organs that function as such and you mate wtih a male. The same for males. Again if the intention was not to create two sexes we would be basically have the same sexual organs and we could mulitply regardless what sex we are... It is not algebra ...(thank God) but pure logic here...

All I know for definite is that I didn't choose my sexual orientation, and that when listening to homosexuals describing how they first realised that they were homosexual, there doesn't seem to be any basis for assuming that they chose their sexual orientation either.

I'll second that. I didn't choose to be heterosexual. It would be stupid of me to assume that homosexuals choose.

So, was that tongue-in-cheek or are you too saying that a homosexual is no more than a deviant heterosexual?
Homosexuals are the ones who decide to 'chose" not to be that what God intented them to be
They decide to choose? Do they choose to decide to choose, too? What about deciding to choose to decide to choose? I bet those darn homosexuals do that, too.
