What do you believe is the root cause of homosexuality?

[StawberryCough]

sure.. sure... and what is it that gays are afraid of ... the opposite sex?

Gay hating for Jesus.

Examples of clinical homophobia please...

I wasn't talking about clinical homophobia where people are afriad to come out of there house because they might get "teh Ghey!" I'm talking about people who believe in some great homosexual agenda to overthrow Christianity, molest their children and make them gay, turn the Bible into hate speech, and don't want gays to serve in the military or oppose gay civil unions, ect, ect.

 

[DarkLegend28]

I believe that it's very possible for both genetic and environmental factors. You seem homosexuality all of the time in nature. Just because we are humans doesn't make us all that much different. If it was really wrong then you would not see it in nature to be honest. I used to think that it was a person's free will, but it makes more sense that it could be a little more than that. There is honestly nothing wrong with it but people are going to be predjudice about anything no matter what it is.

I agree somewhat, but don't think that the fact of certain behavior in the animal world has anything to do with whether that behavior should be considered acceptable in human society.

I suppose that's fine if you would be one to figure that human society is any different if not worse.

Gay hating for Jesus.

Are we supposed to like it when people promote gay sex?

I wasn't talking about clinical homophobia where people are afriad to come out of there house because they might get "teh Ghey!"

What's that?

I'm talking about people who believe in some great homosexual agenda to overthrow Christianity,

As in splitting the church - yeah, I see that happening all the time...

molest their children and make them gay,

I can't say I'm too worried about that because we are careful anyway.

turn the Bible into hate speech,

I'm sorry but you lost me on that one altogether.

and don't want gays to serve in the military

They're already in the military. It used to be an easy way to get out of the military draft. Count your blessings.

or oppose gay civil unions, ect, ect.

OK, so you are talking about copy cat marriage that doesn't procreate the human race.

 

[selfinflikted]

Are we supposed to like it when people promote gay sex?

You don't have to like it. Just shut up about it and leave us be. You do your thing, and let us do ours.

As in splitting the church - yeah, I see that happening all the time...

If anyone is causing a split in the church, it's those churches who don't accept gays - would christ not let a gay person into his church?

They're already in the military. It used to be an easy way to get out of the military draft. Count your blessings.

As long as no one knows. Then, when they do find out, they're either kicked, kicked out, or both.

OK, so you are talking about copy cat marriage that doesn't procreate the human race.

Do you really think such a small percentage of the population that happens to be gay is a threat to the propagation of the human race? LOL

 

[Peach81]

As in splitting the church - yeah, I see that happening all the time...

I guess the secret's out. The gays are trying to split the church.

They're already in the military. It used to be an easy way to get out of the military draft. Count your blessings.

What blessings? Things aren't any different now then they were before. The only thing that has changed is that no one can question a servicemember about their sexuality. But gay and bisexual servicepeople still have to keep their sexuality a secret or they will be kicked out.

OK, so you are talking about copy cat marriage that doesn't procreate the human race.

Gay couples have children. They either have biological children or adopt (just like hetero couples). The only real difference is that gays don't have accidental children.

 

[spartacus1984]

What do you believe is the root cause of homosexuality?

Just a poll.

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to add an actual poll

you don’t think it is these things?
Mental or physical
Abuse, mistreatment, cruelty, ill-treatment, violence, maltreatment, neglect, exploitation, misuse,

Wow, that's actually very profound, and have never thought about that before. As far as I can tell, you're absolutely right

you do think it is these things?

 

[spartacus1984]

you do think it is these things?

Yes, don’t you?

 

[beechy]

Yes, don’t you?

I think certain feelings or behaviors by certain people may be caused at least in part by certain of those factors some of the time. However, I do not think your laundry list represents an exhaustive, or even accurate answer to the OP question for all people all of the time, my dear little Bot-head.

Is that a yes?

No, it's a: I think certain feelings or behaviors by certain people may be caused at least in party by certain of those factors some of the time. However, I do not think your laundry list represents an exhaustive, or even accurate answer to the OP question for all people all of the time.

Or, in brief sum: No.

It shouldn't bother you one way or the other. Straight people aren't going to turn gay because some queer said to.

As in splitting the church - yeah, I see that happening all the time...

Gays aren't splitting the church, the gay haters are. They're the ones leaving, they're the ones who are unwilling to compromise.

I can't say I'm too worried about that because we are careful anyway.

So you think gays are more inclined towards pedophilia and child indoctrination?

I'm sorry but you lost me on that one altogether.

There are a lot of Christians our there under the impression gays are attempting to turn the Bible into hate speech in America. I don't see how you could possibly be ignorant of that claim.

They're already in the military. It used to be an easy way to get out of the military draft. Count your blessings.

Yes, there are gays serving their country, fighting and dying despite the military's bigotry.

OK, so you are talking about copy cat marriage that doesn't procreate the human race.

It's only "copy-cat marriage" because bigots won't allow gay actual marriage.

And what does procreation matter anyway, there are plenty of hetero couples that don't procreate. What is it with this obsession over procreation when we're already overpopulating and a third of the population goes to bed hungry every night.

Besides, just because they can't procreate with their partners, doesn't mean they can't adopt children and raise an, otherwise, parentless generation.

 

[StawberryCough]

And so you just don’t agree that these things are the root cause of homosexuality?

No, because they aren't.

Silly bot, insults are for kids.

 

[Peach81]

And so you just don’t agree that these things are the root cause of homosexuality?

They aren't. According to the American Psychological Association, "most scientists today agree that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors. In most people, sexual orientation is shaped at an early age. There is also considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality. In summary, it is important to recognize that there are probably many reasons for a person's sexual orientation and the reasons may be different for different people." Nowhere does it say or imply that people become gay because of mistreatment or abuse... or anything negative, for that matter.

Don’t you understand that some become homosexuals as a result of being victims of paedophiles.

Don't you understand that you have absolutely zilch to back up that ridiculous claim?
