Isn't it irrelevant to be arguing about whether or not being gay is a choice?

Question

BTW I believe it is NOT a choice.

Even if it were, isn't our society all about freedom of choice, as long as we do no harm?

Answer 1

I agree with you. The whole argument is irrelevant. Especially with the more important issues the world is facing today.

Answer 2

Isn't it irrelevant to be arguing about whether or not being gay is a choice? Yes

but it is annoying to constantly made to justify yourself when you and only you can know the truth. I always find interesting that a straight can tell me he knows I chose to be gay but will not acknowledge the converse of the statement. Of course the reason for that would mean he would have to admit to being gay at some point.

case in point: sweetooth, a person who clearly falls back on regurgitation and cut a paste than actual discourse.

Answer 3

It is personal choice to believe there is no difference between right and wrong. Ok, so questioner concludes that life choices no longer include consequences and should be exempt from guidance and love....possibly that the voices of spiritual human beings are irrelevant. Everyone has the "freedom of choice" to reject loving guidance and many do. Perhaps those who do not trust choose to base their lives on irrelevance but I'm curious how some intend to spend the rest of their lives attempting to control others to believe in false doctrine?

Communicating isn't irrelevant, unless of course, some are not into freedom of choice...which includes freedom of speech. Even with speech there is good and there is bad...like answering with a giant middle finger on everyone's question. It's clear cut what it means, it's clear cut it's innappropriate but here is a lesson learned: Some people will step forward and model others will just gripe, whine, and think ignoring it will work miracles although I see this as many lacking in guidance and love along with allowing themselves to become paralyzed spiritually because they internalize.

Answer 4

Yes and so right, On that note:
Choices freedom of ones right. Diffidently a privilege in today world or country.
So many choices so little time - We were all given the gift of life.
It's the present- So except that gift for the present time and stop picking and choosing for others?
Life for today like no tomorrow

Answer 5

I think it matters, because there are so many people who think "being gay" is defined by what kind of sexual acts a person does.

Being gay can mean only that one is attracted to the same gender. A person can be gay and a virgin, or gay and celibate. But why should they have to live a life without love just because it makes someone else uncomfortable?

Even if they are celibate, it doesn't stop other people from denying them equal rights. You can lose your job, your home, your safety, and custody of your kids if you are gay, or even perceived to be gay. That has to stop.

Answer 6

It seems to me that sweettooth was stating something and found some scriptures to back up what he was saying, he had a source he put it in his statements. As Christian myself i agree a 100% with him and find these scriptures very enlightening. We are here to give the best possible answer to help the person with their question regardless if its something we know or if it comes from a source, so i don't think we should be picking on someone for copying and pasting what seems to be a very good source.

Answer 7

Our society is all about freedom unless more people disagree with it, which isn't freedom at all. I think you can be born this way or you could chose to be this way. I myself have chosen to be this way but I know a lot of people who feel they are born this way.

Answer 8

society seems to think that being gay is wrong or "not normal" so they want to try to prove a theory as to what's going on.

funny they are so worried about sexual orientation, yet they don't seem to care about switching left handed people over to right handed, like they did 50 years ago..

but yah, this world is about freedom of being who you are.. who you or i choose to date or sleep with is really none of any body else's business..

Answer 9

Many of the arguments fundamentalists make, not just the gay issues, are irrelevant to everyone except themselves.

**Not intended to inflame the fundamentalists, but probably will anyway.

Answer 10

it is a choice, but its also irrelevant to argue about it because people are going to do what they want to do despite the obvious truth. If Gods purpose was for man and man or woman and woman to be together he would of made it that way. However he wanted to fill the earth so he created a man and a woman to do that, but over the time man have corrupted this world with their immorality and completely ignored God's purpose. This world has become another Sodom and Gomorah and soon God will put in endto it just like he did back in the days. God intended marriage to be a permanent and an intimate bond between a man and a woman. Men and women are designed to complement each other so they may be capable of satisfying each other’s emotional, spiritual, and sexual needs and desires.

The well-known Biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah reveals God’s feelings about homosexuality. God declared: “The cry of complaint about Sodom and Gomorrah, yes, it is loud, and their sin, yes, it is very heavy.” (Genesis 18:20) The extent of their sinful depravity at that time was apparent when two guests visited the righteous man Lot. “The men of Sodom . . . surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one mob. And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: ‘Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them.’” (Genesis 19:4, 5) The Bible says: “The men of Sodom were bad and were gross sinners against Jehovah.”—Genesis 13:13.

The men became “violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males.” (Romans 1:27) They had “gone out after flesh for unnatural use.” (Jude 7) In countries where homosexual rights campaigns are pervasive, some may object to using the word “unnatural” to describe homosexual behavior. However, is not God the final arbiter when it comes to nature? He commanded his ancient people: “You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.”— Leviticus 18:22. Furthermore, Our Creator established rules governing marriage long before governments began regulating the institution. The opening book of the Bible tells us: “A man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24) The Hebrew word “wife,” according to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, “connotes one who is a female human being.” Jesus confirmed that those yoked together in marriage should be “male and female.”—Matthew 19:4.
