ok, first off i would like to point out that i am serious this time, i know i've asked a few stupid questions about god...
but really, im not religous, but opparintly being gay is a sin. so my question is why am i gay, if people arent suppost to be gay. and have prayed (although i dont know how) to ask god to make me straight, i wish i was, but im still gay.... and i dont like it. why has god made me this way? can he make me straight?
and before you ask, i AM gay... i know i am attracted to men, and not woman, there is no quetion about it, i've already attempted suicide over it.

There is no god. You're gay because that's how you were born. The only reason you're unhappy about it is that some people make life so hard for gay people. They're wrong, not you.
Just in case anyone tries to tell you that believing in their god can "cure" you, check this out:
http://www.beyondexgay.com/article/apology
"As former leaders of ex-gay ministries, we apologize to those individuals and families who believed our message that there is something inherently wrong with being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. Some who heard our message were compelled to try to change an integral part of themselves, bringing harm to themselves and their families. Although we acted in good faith, we have since witnessed the isolation, shame, fear, and loss of faith that this message creates. We apologize for our part in the message of broken truth we spoke on behalf of Exodus and other organizations.
"We call on other former ex-gay leaders to join the healing and reconciliation process by adding their names to this apology.
"We encourage current leaders of ex-gay programs to have the courage to evaluate the fruit of their programs. We ask them to consider the long-term effects of their ministry."

God has not made you homosexual just like he didn't make anyone a murderer or a drunkard. Some believe there is a gene that makes you gay. There has yet to be good evidence for this but even if this was true it doesn't mean God made you that way and that you can't help it. Scientists also say some people have a gene that can cause them to be drunkards or to have the urge to kill. That doesn't make those things right. We live in a fallen world. We all sin. Even if you feel an attraction towards other men you can CHOOSE to not act on those emotions just like I can choose not to get drunk on weekends and someone else that has anger and murder in their mind can choose to reject those thoughts. There are good groups to help you approach this from a Biblical view. I pray that all goes well in your walk. Please check out the source below. Many people I trust have told me this is a good place to refer people too.

definite, God did not make homosexuals. Sexual deviance which includes homosexuality,pedophilia and animal or merchandise-relatives is the effects of the Curse in Genesis 3. Sexual immorality is defined via God as **ANY** sexual intercourse exterior of a a million guy- a million woman marriage. Hateful murderous suggestions are additionally a results of the curse, yet we've defined harming different persons as a criminal offense punishable via the state. God's wrath is lots greater extreme, yet he's likewise long suffering, not desiring that any ought to perish yet that all and sundry ought to come to repentance. yet while they don't... "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord- i'm going to pay off"

Human Beings are A-O.K. when GOD Sends them to the Earth to be Born.
Then we ALL get Messed Up. All of us.
Some more than Others.
Not GOD's Fault.
GOD is Bound by Spiritual Law to send an O.K. Human Being to the Earth when Sperm Meets Egg.
Adam and satan teamed up and Cursed the Earth. That is why we all get messed up.
Jesus can Help AnyBody Figure themselves out---and HE (Jesus) can do it Alot Better AFTER you get Saved and are on your Way to Heaven.
EveryBody is Welcome to get Saved at this Time.
EveryBody.
Romans 10:9 (In The Bible) will get you Saved (no kidding around when you do it either) Mean It. From your Heart.
After That, Your In Good Hands with Jesus!!!
There, I have told you The Truth.
Jesus Loves you.

God did not create you a homosexual. Homosexuality is an abomination. Homosexuality is not natural, for homosexuals cannot reproduce, i.e., they cannot procreate.
Some factor or factors in your development after being born has led your sexuality to become deviant from normal, so instead of being heterosexual as God created you, you have become homosexual.
You have responsibility for the conscious decisions you make. Knowing you are presently homosexual and not as God created you (heterosexual) it is your responsibility to pursue the psychological help you will need to turn from the homosexual and to the heterosexual.
People will tell you that is not necessary for you to change from your homosexuality but it is if you want to be happy with your natural sexuality. The constant tug of war between your natural heterosexuality and the deviant homosexuality will take an incredible toll on your psyche.
In time you will understand what environmental factors led you towards homosexuality, and that understanding will help you pursue your natural, God-created heterosexuality.
Trust in God to restore your heterosexual nature.
In the meantime, do nothing to jeopardize your return to your God-created heterosexuality.

I'm sorry you're feeling so torn about this. I'm also kind of confused... you say you aren't religious, but you seem to be very angry about your circumstances. If you're not religious, you should realize that being gay isn't some terrible sin, so why are you still angry? Why don't you like it? Nothing to be angry at but nature.
I think you should accept the fact that you're gay. People try to suppress it and ignore it, and they end up miserable for years. You can't change what you are. I'm sure you can find people out there who don't care if you're gay or not - I think a lot of people in our generation are cool with it, at least, a lot more than in our parents' generation.
But if you're having suicidal thoughts or are feeling depressed, please get some help.

It depends on the religion. In many of the NeoPagan faiths, including Wicca, homosexuality is accepted as a naturally occurring orientation, with no "sin" attached to it or to acting upon it.
Sorry to hear you were feeling suicidal. I do hope that you're dealing with things better now.

Hi Guy
I have no answer for you> I'm usually on this section goofing around.
By all means ask this stuff on R&S but you're gonna get all kinds of wierd stuff here.
If you post this Q on the gay, lesbian and transgendered section you'll get different perspectives.
Seems like you have a journey ahead of you.
Lots off stuff to discover.

Please do not commit suicide. Please read Kaits answer. He is correct. Just confess your sin and give your heart and life fully to the Lordship of Christ and He truly will make you a new creature with new desires. Just do these things... tell Jesus, I am sorry for my sins,I give myself to you and will live my life for you. Come into my heart and live inside of me.Thank you for dying for me to pay for my sins. If you mean it He will do the rest. Check out this web site, it may be helpful..http://www.exodus-international.org/
God bless!!
