Dude, read the topic title. It's about civil unions. It could also be about SSM. Is that an activity? Is it a choice? Uh, yes it is. Just as being angry with someone is something you may naturally feel in a given situation, acting out by punching that person is an activity that comes following a choice.
I notice in your profile you describe yourself as a Lutheran. I assume you are against sin as God is. Am I wrong? What does God say in His word about this subject? Here's a few verses:
[FONT="]Leviticus 18:22 [/FONT][FONT="]You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. [/FONT]
[FONT="]1 Corinthians 6:9-11[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Romans 1:26-28[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Leviticus 20:13[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. [/FONT]
[FONT="]1 Timothy 1:10[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]The sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine[/FONT]
[FONT="]Jude 1:7[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. [/FONT]
