I'm not trying to convert anyone but I simply want to express my views and feelings.
We are born a certain way, and with some people who are born homosexual I think they only hurt themselves not to be who they are, usually because others have hurt them by trying to force them to be something different than who they naturally want to be.
Perhaps there are other people who don't have as much of a homosexual genetic disposition, some part of them is so disposed, and environment and personal choice comes into play and they eventually choose to be gay or straight or bi.
Another person may be born with a heterosexual disposition and the choices are probably a lot easier for them. Nevertheless environment has lots to do with the choices everyone makes and I think even a person whose has a strong genetic heterosexual makeup, through the development of bonds of love with someone of the same sex, they may choose a homosexual relationship.
In other words, my belief is that it's just not right to say that someone is a sinner for being homosexually disposed and/or for making that choice. They simply don't need a Christian arm of brotherly love put around their shoulder to bring them to the alter of "repentance and forgiveness" so that "Christ can change them".
My beliefs on this don't come from being anti-Bible or from being an atheist because I believe in God, a Great Creator, a positive Energy, Love. I like term Amerindians use, the Great Spirit.
