Have you ever really thought about how much 'trouble' we'd get ourselves in, if we lived completely by our feelings?!?!?
(I have the same question for those who consider homosexuality to be 'natural' and not being something you have any control over.)

"Godless" and "Manic.Fruits" you are both completely out to lunch!!!!
The question is: Should people live according to their feelings? (Get off the '****' kick.)

No, that is very dangerous and you lack self control when you act on emotions and feelings. It always causes more harm then good, in the long run.

No. We are social creatures and it would infringe on other peoples right to exist. You don't feel like going to work, you call in, your boss gives your workload to a co-worker, she gets off late and misses her kids soccer game. That is a mild example. Your actions affect others regardless of your intent. By all means explore your feelings, however respect the people around you too.

Your phrasing confuses me. Are you really challenging the accepted fact that a person's sexuality is not something that can be changed?
If so, you are a bigot, and I dislike you.
If not, ignore the above comment, and no, I find people who exist on the basis of feelings rather than facts and logic to be annoying and mostly useless, though such living often turns out excellent poetry or art.

Living by your feelings is to live without reason and mental capacity isn't that what animals do?
god gave the animals instinct and they move by a certain order. Not that we look like God because he is a spirit person but we have a mental capability to think and reason.
Thinking would that be a good idea?

If living completely according to your feelings was what we all did, things would be terrible. Anger is a feeling, and many things such as abuse and murder are done in anger. Lust is a feeling and if acted upon many people would be sexually harassed or raped.
I think that feelings are important, but shouldn't prevail.

If one is by nature a charitable, honest person, then living according to one's "feelings" would be a good thing.

If I had gone with my Feelings Years Ago, I would Either be Dead or in a Rubber Room.
Thanky Jesus, for Showing me the Truth about alot of Things and Showing me How Not to follow my Feelings, but What "GOD Said".
Thanks!

Homosexuality has nothing to do with "feelings". What you are talking about is emotion. Sexual orientation is not an emotion, any more than skin color, hair color, or anything else that is genetic.
