But that's beside the point.

I don't look at it that way. The act of gay sex is voluntary. The act of adultery is voluntary. You can't choose not have the thoughts or urges, but ya have the choice whether or not to act on them.

Again, you're entitled to your opinions (which I hope, for your sake, will evolve), but please think before you express them.

The only 'right' I can tell ya is that I choose to follow the principles I find in the Bible, but I don't want to force that on anybody, it's my personal belief. According to the Bible, it is a sin to engage in homosexual intercourse, so I believe you should abstain from it.

I know it's hard to come across as genuine through a post on a message board, but I don't want to cause anyone pain. I'm not saying any of this flippantly. I just joined into the discussion to try and clear up what I considered to be misinformation about the bible. Maybe it wasn't wise of me to also give my opinion on homosexuality, so I want to apologize if I came across as insensitive. Hope you won't hold it against me. I don't think I 'know it all', and I do take into account what you're saying.
