What do religious conservatives say homosexuality is caused by?

Answer 1

Eric Cartman,
They say that it is a choice, and that it is a sinful choice.

Answer 2

Overall, it seems that "choice" is the canned word for religious conservatives. And by that they mean the personal choice of the gay person. They do not take into consideration biology or social forces that might have mold the gay person's sexual orientation.

They cannot accept the fact that genetics or hormones had something to do with it because they believe God only created straight people.

They cannot accept the possibility that social forces had something to do with it because then part of the cause could be laid at the doorstep of parental upbringing itself, social isolation, and other factors that they themselves had a hand in.

For them to actually "think" otherwise (using their own minds) would mean that they would butt heads with the religious powers that be in their own congregations, and that is something they cannot do -- that would mean they would be set up for ostracism in the social club atmosphere of the church.

Religious conservatives are rarely knowledgeable about any true aspect of human psychology; their ignorance of sexual orientation is just the tip of the ice berg.

Answer 3

first of all i do no longer think of ninety 8% of your community think of homosexuality is a call or a sin seeing as 40 5% of yankee think of it rather is not a sin, 17% are uncertain, and purely 38% think of it rather is a sin. Infact maximum folk won't care that your gay. I actual have continuously lived in a conservative and non secular section and the majority I actual have met do no longer care relating to the reality i'm gay. yet while i replaced into youthful i presumed rather everyone replaced into against it. I actual have come to locate that nonetheless thats no longer actual. Now on your truthfully question it rather is been based to be brought about with the help of the circumstances interior the womb. It occurs, in men anyhow, with the help of how the mother's female hormones work together with the male fetus while his suggestions is forming and coming up. So confident it does ensue till now beginning. it rather is organic and random. yet learn have shown the extra boys a female has, the better the her possibilities are high of giving beginning to gay male (this with the aid of fact her hormones strengthen into more suitable and extra appropriate at interacting with a male fetus). Homosexuality isn't a call nor can it get replaced.

Answer 4

When I came out at 16, my very "Born Again Christian" Mother was told my being Queer as 3 dollar bill was because I possessed by Satan. No Joke. I don't think she ever actually really thought that was true, but the only way to save my soul according to this idiot, was to have me 'deprogrammed' by some guys he knew. At this point, she went and looked elsewhere for answers.

Ten years later she admitted she had realized I was gay when I only 3 years old. (I knew then too I think) and that God must have made me that way and God doesn't make junk. I took her 10 years to admit she didn't know the answer of why, and that is difficult for most religious people to cop to, they need to think that know everything! That is how they get to be a little bit superior in their minds.

Answer 5

Anything they can think of to avoid the obvious - that it is innate. This includes everything from wanting attention

to making a choice (apparently gays are ALL masochists too lol)

to being a pawn for big bad Satan

to sexual abuse as children (yeah, according to some ALL gays have been abused)

to a defect in the genes (this is only if they grudgingly respect science and then it can only be a DEFECT)

to environment (never mind those 7 other brothers/sisters who are straight)

and on and on and on and on....ignorance never takes a break.

Answer 6

Well, like everybody else has said, its considered to be a choice...

Unless you were living pre 1960's, then this video here explains how homosexuality is a mental disorder... and assumes that all gay men are peodophiles... I guess its anti-gay campaigns such as this that have stirred conservatives into being so closed minded. idiots.

Answer 7

What excites you isn't always your choice, but what you do about it is. We're not allowed to beat or kill each other, but wanting to put the smack down on someone is also a "natural" reaction.

God gave us moral laws to keep us safe. The changes in our society in the past decades shows us how dangerous it is to put aside God's laws about marriage, fidelity, and family. The biggest danger in the world today is generations of children who have been raised without the tender loving care of a mother in the home and the firm guidance and example of a father who provides for and cares for his family.
