Why would God go and create all these millions of Homosexuals?
Surely if God didn't want gay folks, he'd have surely not created so many of them, only to damn them all to hell. What the hell kind of a sick twisted god would do that?

10. No, no you got it all wrong...
God created the people, then the devil made them gay. He turned them into evil sinners, you see.

4. Gay people are God's natural population control.
Think about it. How many people can this planet possibly support? He had to figure at some point there needed to be an equalizer to the horny heteros reproducing like Rabbits. :rofl:

5. And why would God use heterosexual couples as the means?
Does God think heterosexuals need to understand things better? :shrug:

6. It's not God's fault...it's Bill Clinton's fault.
Clinton created a nation of homosexuals so that he could destroy America from within.

I thought that was common knowledge?

9. Satan got to them
Which would make God not all that all-powerful.

Or God just gets tired of knowing everything, being everywhere, and doing everything, so it damns a few of us to hell just for a laugh.

If you believe in the God written about thousands of years ago by men who thought the Earth was flat. Not that they were stupid, just ignorant on some points. Although they did know how powerful fear is. Just think, if not for a system set up for control, we'd all be killing each other like animals.

18. The same reason he made all those drugs on the planet
To tempt you, as my mother's Southern Baptist church mates would tell me. So, apparently, as well as being an omnipotent granddad in the sky that gave everything life, God is also a prankster.

:wtf:

22. What a God!
Puts all that good stuff within hands reach and tells you not to touch. He does that in order to tempt you and cause you to sin. When you sin, he can then punish you forever in Hell, but he loves you. He really, really does. Hmmmmmm. I'm glad I'm an atheist.

29. That's God for you: always playing jokes
Some scholars believe that the whole destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah incident was just another example of playing with matches that got out of hand.

20.  I have a thought on the issue
of why there are millions of homosexuals. God didn't do it. Evolution did it. Nature has ways of compensating. Perhaps evolution is increasing the homosexual population to decrease the birth rate and counteract rampant overpopulation (although I'm certainly not sure that the homosexual population is actually increasing as a percentage of the heterosexual population). Anyway, just a thought. I'm sure, though, that toasters aren't involved. ;-)

21. Fundies see homosexuality as a choice -- a sinful behavioral choice.
They're big on conversion of homosexuals, or "reparative therapy," to "cure" homosexuality.

Just another way they ignore reality, reason, scientific facts and data.

24. I always like to ask those types
when they "chose" to be a heterosexual? At what point did you look at a boy and a girl and CONSCIOUSLY selected to be attracted to one or the other? If they can cite a struggle, therein lies their issue with homosexuality.

26. The choice is not being gay. It's what you do with it.
Edited on Mon Jun-05-06 12:12 PM by HypnoToad
As with emotions.

We can choose to kill despite our instinct to. Or we can choose not to, no matter the provocation. Ergo, a homosexual can engage in those feelings or not. That is the choice.

While poorly articulated, whether they care about the instinct is immaterial; acting upon it is.

I am not advocating one side or the other. I am making an attempt to point out an angle few people have fathomed. And that includes those who advocate against the acceptance of homosexuals.

30. there's a good book called "Sex in History" by Tannen
I read it years ago, that homosexuality has been around for thousands of years. She quotes in her book that during the Golden Age of Greece an edict was initiated that stated you must have sex with your wife at least once a week, since there was a lot of male on male stuff going on. She also wrote about the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church--it was more of a sin for a priest to be caught having relations with a woman than a man--her proof was in the punishment meted out for such transgressions. We have two talented cousins in our family who are homosexual--I definitely know one has been different since he was under the age of five. He grew up in a small cowboy town, his dad was a cowboy ( a very patient, compassionate man), and since he was about four years old all he wanted to do is learn how to dance. He became a professional dancer in LA--to me, in his situation, environment did not make a difference. I believe this is the way he was born to be. Some Native American people believe that it is because a male can have a female spirit and a female can have a male spirit. In reincarnation, it is believed that the previous life could have been male or female and the soul does not recognize or refuses to recognize it's new incarnation. Oh yeah, my best friend's sister is gay, and she told me at a very young age, before five, she refused to put on a dress. Still wears jeans and cowboy hat, works with horses. I don't care what the explanation, people have the right to be themselves, as long as they're not harming others (don't want to encourage any Ted Bundy types)!!!! Our cousins, one a dancer and one a historian, have added to society with their talents and have harmed no one's marriage--so maybe if some are worried about homosexuals threatening wholesome, god-fearing marriages, maybe they better look at themselves. Because I know of quite a few other things that destroy marriages, and it's not GAYS!!!!!

33. but, I enjoy having sex with my husband
should I live like a nun, I may as well become a nun. Oh, and we're having sex without procreating--we're sinners!!!! There is nothing wrong with two consenting adults being together. It is not my business. How can one equate it with murder, if they are consenting and not harming anyone? And, if they having a loving, lasting commitment and wish to take vows for that commitment, I don't see a problem--it harms no one.

28. What else is new? That's how they do things.
Technical support or any form of helping others is vile to them.

It's their own power base, with everyone else being paid as minimal as possible. Ethics and morals are not factors; it's just business.
