If the former is true then the latter would be also. This begs the real question of whether and in what way and degree people are born with a proclivity to a wrong type of affection and behavior. This is a moral issue pertinent to the Bible, and therein we see that we are all born with a sinful nature (Eccl. 7:29), which is evident even early on. The 3 basic lusts of men are possessions, pleasure and power/prestige (1Jn. 2:16). And i think it is evident that every one is prone to some type of sin relative to the above more than others, with societal variables factoring in.
As regards fornication, of which the issues at question are part of (God never provided the provision of marriage for either homosexuality or bestiality, but forbade them), the Bible indicates certain other sinful factors are concomitant with at least the former practice (Ezekiel 16:49; Romans 1:18-27; Jude 7).
In short, while there is no real proof that one is born with a predisposition specific to homosexuality, even if one were, then that does not excuse one for his behavior any more than we can justify immoral behavior because we were born with a sinful nature. We need not be slaves to sin, despite our nature or nurture, as we have both a conscience and a will. And by true faith and surrender to the risen Lord Jesus - who gave Himself for us - we receive a new heart, and new desire that we can overcome the old by. Praise the Lord!

Everything is genetic. Even your personality is genetic. Every decision you make stems from your genetics. Environmental forces play a big role as well, but you aren't necessarily in control of those either (to an extent). This is a big reason I don't believe in religion. Your "free will" isn't so "free" after all.
Think about it. Say you were selected to be someone else. Say a devout Christian, who is that way because he is himself through genetics, was selected to be me, and vice versa. Now, is that fair that I now get to go to heaven because I was born with a set of genetics that made me a believer and he now doesn't, just because of genetics.

That depends... most people who practice beastiality do it out of desperation, and not out of a genuine attraction to animals. If the person in question is also attracted to humans, I would say that they were not born with a predisposition for committing beastiality, and therefore they should be able to control this behavior. On the other hand, if they are ONLY aroused by animals and have no sexual interest in human beings whatsoever, I would say that yes, they probably were "born with it".
And as for the religious folk who say that homosexuality is a "choice"... first of all, how many people do you know who would rather be gay than straight? Gee, look at all the perks to being gay, you get to have ignorant theists calling you an abomination day in and day out. How fun and exciting! Second of all, could any of you "choose" to be gay? I personally could not even imagine being attracted to another man (I am a male). If you told me that heterosexuality was an abomination and that I was only "choosing" to be straight, I would tell you to pull your head out of your nether regions. I do not "choose" to be straight just as homosexuals do not "choose" to be gay. I am attracted to women because I happened to be born with heterosexual tendencies.

First off, no one is born a homosexual! That is the biggest lie ever told. Homosexuality is the result of yielding to the Satanic implanted seed of sin. It is in other words, a choice, same as alcoholism. So with that fact stated, your question on bestiality is null and void.

I don't think so because that is considered animals abuse. People who like children aren't born that way. If you enjoy raping, you are born that way.. A healthy sex drive is based on two adults consenting, not in abusing. No one is born to abuse

No. No one is born with the desire to commit rape, and that's basically what bestiality is..rape of an animal. Animals cannot consent.

Knock

Beastiality is NOT the same thing about homosexuality. Not even remotely. You can't compare a human being having sex with an animal to two human beings in a loving committed relationship making a mutual decision to have consensual sex.
You bloody people make me want to throttle you sometimes for your arrogance.

All sexual desires are learned. For example shoe fetishes are learned from childhood, when the child used to masturbate in the closet.
No one is born that way

People are born with a sinful nature (lusts of the flesh) but that does not mean they have to act on those sins. The Bible is very clear that homosexuality is a sin, as is bestiality. Therefore, no one is born that way; it is a choice they make.

...You raise a good point. If perverted lifestyles are accepted and become protected by law, what's to stop perversions of all kinds, including those who prey on children? People will give the excuse that they were "born that way" and can't (really won't) change.
...Don't be fooled, there are groups that exist who prey on children if they get a chance.
