You can only change your mind about an opinion. These are facts. God never said left handed people are evil. God said homosexuality is bad. God can't get smarter. (really lazy here so going for the obvious answer instead of avoiding religious) No. No!! THESE ARE NOT FACTS. So are all other religions just "opinions" that are wrong? ThFS? (sorry, just had to use it  , but I'm being quite serious) We all have a right to our own religions, and if that's not true, I will gladly spend an eternity in Hell.. Which I really don't think exists, but if it does.. And God isn't the only one entitled to say something is "bad." If that happened, there would be no jails.. I really do think we need a court system for the world, not just have God "smite" whoever.. So if God can't get smarter, he also can't get dumber.. He's at a 0 IQ?
And the left-handed thing is just a simile.. If God said in the Ten Commandments that we should all do the hokey-pokey once a day, around 75% of the world's population would. And if he said that "being Zang is terrible," what would you do? I totally respect your religion, but you (and not only you) really need to be more accepting of others.. Boy, I hope I haven't alienated you completely.. |

IF there is one God his IQ is 100 as that would be the average of the total population of Gods (from a group of 1). |

... Looking back at it, it makes perfect sense. Except for the IQ comment. Dunno..

Although certain aspects of a person's being will be affected by the environment they grow up in, I don't believe that a person's environment is the only factor in determining who they are.
I think homosexuality is one of those qualities that some people have, regardless of their background. To those who believe its a choice, the only choice is between accepting who you are as a person and making that horrible decision to deny who you are.

Let's not get offensive here... It's not offensive at all. He used "if", meaning he didn't flat out say God was an ass. Also, I agree with him. I'm a she :3 |

@ Quinn - it's never to late to post in a debate topic. So long as your post is thought out and addresses the subject it is welcome. Please see the guide to Necro Posting Debates. Anyone is welcome to revitalize and post their opinion - you'd be wise not to discourage them. |

Anyway, it's not a choice, and it's not a sin.
It's completely normal, and I'm not sure why it's so under attack...

Because people are scared of things/ideas that are different from them or what they were taught.

well in my religion it tells us that loving someone is not a sin but having sex with someone who you havent married even if its male or female is a sin (btw heterosexual marriges only) it tell us that we shouldn't have sex with everyone we love and that we need to control our desires.
believe it or not im talking about islam

That does not relate to this discussion. The debate is on the nature of sexuality specifically if that nature is determined at birth, not the moral associations of whether or not it's ok.

[offtopic] @mohashki I'd believe it.
Even though it's not my religious belief, it has very good values. Even if there's that restriction, which I don't like much, but it's still a step forward.[/offtopic]
Anyway, yes. People are born gay.
