We can see beauty in many things, it cheers us up but is not the same for everyone and it is usually transient, or our appreciation is. I remember an old hymn, 'God is Love, God is Truth, God is Beauty, praise...'

First of all, don't get me wrong. This is not intended to insult or debate anyone or anything. I just want something to make sense to me, that currently does not.
I've heard a major argument to the question "why are you gay?" is something like "I was born being attracted to the same gender". But ultimately, it's a choice, isn't it? I could see how a straight person could, under pressure, become gay. People break and create new habits and change their ideas all the time. I've also heard that it's a chemical imballence, but so is everything labeled as a mental disorder. I mean, I believe people when they tell me the story of discovering they were gay... but it doesn't make sense. Could someone (perferrably someone who is gay and knows firsthand) explain?

I don't care if you believe in God, I just want to know what you think the best argument you've heard against his existence. For the sake of this question, assume that God is:
1. Eternal, or at least as old as the universe
2. Omnipresent, or at least capable of being many places at once
3. Omnipotent, or so powerful that we wouldn't understand his limitaions
4. Sensient (no Hagelian "Geist", I mean a god that knows he exists and that he is God.)
5. Purposeful.
6. Not "created" or "evolved" or other things that would make him just a better version of us.

I am also asking the opposite question, and I would appreciate people answering both questions.

Was not the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, morality? Before they ate of it, Adam and Eve were innocent - innocently naked, for instance. They were, to use Nietzsche's phrase, beyond good and evil. But the serpent gave them the teaching, *seduced* them to adopt the teaching, that certain things were right and certain things wrong: for instance, being naked before someone else than your own spouse (including before God). So what really *spoilt* their happy innocence, what really made them lose Paradise, was morality - Judeo-Christian morality, to be precise. And is not the following teaching the fruit of the tree of life?

"1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul[...].
2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body[...].
3. Energy is Eternal Delight."
[William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.]

Take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.

This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not be false to any man.

FEAR

This is fear based world
it is every where,
but,but,but,
not the only thing that dewells,
for centuries we survied,
became most evolved species

crave for attention
perform different acts
followed by appreciation,praise
for every step you move
depending up on audiance.

something comes in your way
it's named most mystrious names
always holding you back
but it is still masked
who masked it?
who is more powerful than it?
isn't it a more logical question?

i dont expect you all to say "I'd quti talking to em" ir I'd ignore them, but if a parent was later declared paranoid after many years of intstucting you, and they shaped all of your beliefs, what would run through your mind? would you reevaluate your thoughts? Would you go on to believe what they told you as right as you once did? Serious answere please. Not making any judgements...just curious
