Because if being gay is a choice then thusly it must follow that being 'straight' is as well. Did you mark this date down on your calendar. Do you celebrate your choice each year on that day, feeling smug in the fact that you're doing it all for the love of God? Natural and unnatural, my rear. And please, DON'T QUOTE SCRIPTURE! Just answer truthfully.

Def90Dave - You say I must be "another one of those homosexuals" and then claim that you aren't one of the majority of Christians who hates homosexuality (and thus homosexuals, yes). Well, guess what? I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!! Your first sentence alone drips with disgust. "Those homosexuals", indeed.

Unfortunately Christians are forced into the 'being Gay is a choice' position. They HAVE to ignore current medical findings highlighting structural differences in the brain, and studies that indicate that animals have the same percentage of "homosexual tendencies" as humans.
It seams crazy to ignore medicine and science to maintain a belief, but Christians must do it.
If Homosexuality is a something that is determined by physical changes, or hereditary genes, then it means that the Christian God is a terribly mean deity. If Gays are born Gay, and God creates all people, then, according to the bible, he created people for hell.
That is why Christians cannot accept that homosexuality is a choice, it would mean that their contention of a Loving God would be completely false.

Note that it's only necessary to prohibit something if people really want to do it. There's no need to specifically prohibit people from slicing their eyes open with razor blades, e.g. - even though this practice, if it caught on, would be detrimental to society!
The Biblical prohibitions on homosexuality were originally instituted for a tribe of nomadic savages wandering through the desert. Non-procreative sex was literally a "social crime" - but it would hardly have been necessary to prohibit it if people weren't doing it or wanting to do it.
So for practically all of the old injunctions. It's notorious that the prohibition on pork was due to the fact that pork was diseased. The people liked pork, and were too ignorant to fear germs - but they feared Jehovah. Over time, though, the prohibition, having the supposed sanction of their tribal war god, was elevated into a universal rule. It is precisely the same case with the prohibition on homosexuality.
The disgust that many people claim to feel for homosexuality is in many cases demonstrably a function of their own personal sexual ambivalence - this has been proven time and time again and really goes without saying. (See the "Rev Bobby S" for a classic, textbook case.) But it's also due to the fact that the prohibition has become a part of the culture. Just as Jews and Muslims still refuse to eat pork, even though the health risk is no longer a factor, "religious" people continue to persecute homos now that there are over 6 billion people in the world, and maintaining the tribal headcount is no longer an issue. It's the obstinacy of habit produced by generations of systematic sectarian training.

I was debating if I should answer your question. The truth is this God created male and female to be together. He created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. Homosexuality is unnatural. Period. Theres my answer. You are a grown person with your own opinion. I just don't agree with it.

I'm not a Christian, but would like to answer...
For me, I think it was a Wednesday night, and it was when Tom Selleck and his moustache filled my tv screen. I was about 7 years old, and had my first crush. I knew then that it would only ever be men in my life.

Don't you get it? The Christians on here (most of them) would rather die than say being gay is not a choice, they're idiots. I'm one Christian whose straight but knows that we're all born the way we are.

Christ would hate the sin of fornication and whoredom...not the simple love that one person feels toward another person...
...we are indeed encouraged by God to express this love...but with purity; free from sin
It is this love that, I feel, made me realize how to one day move forward in a serious relationship...
