• Every single person definitely have a parent, wife, husband, child, relative of some kind, friend, co-worker, minister, pastor and all other walks of life that ARE homosexual in their life. I was raised mostly overseas and was very lucky to have been exposed to many different religions. I have to tell you that most of them are way off when it comes to the times we are living in. As far as Leviticus 18:22 tells us "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." “Abomination” I can think of thousands of tings that people, religions, leaders and politicians do on a daily basis that actually constitute abominations (according to the bible). Our religious and political leaders always find a way around an issue or very creatively they justify there current issue and the majority of followers just take there word as final and suddenly it is truth, without questioning it for themselves. The entire religious world today has completely twisted everything around to fit whoever or whatever there agenda is, political or otherwise. All of our great religious texts were written at different times by a completely different people who lived very different lives. There ways of life and thinking have not existed for thousands of years. Times have dramatically changed sense they were written and if any religion wants to move forward with its people and the times, they will have to find a way to inspire positive changes and can coexists with natural human nature and evolution. Even with all of its differences and imperfections. I know most religions do not want to hear this. However, homosexuality naturally occurs like many other human issues. Like the many disorders, diseases, infections, birth defects, etc. As a species we are just at the beginning of understanding how we even exist in the first place. Meaning when we try to interrupt text written thousands of years ago by people who’s life’s and existence were day by day, hand to mouth and desperately difficult. It can not compare to how we have progressed over the last 2000 years. The church always chooses what they want to fit whatever issue is in front of them. Remember when the world was flat, earth was the center of the universe, medication was evil, saves were used for labor, sex or whatever there god loving masters wanted and of course the inquisition? Well you were burned, tortured, beheaded, starved to death and allot of the time your lineage was punished for generations. My point is that every human is influenced from birth on what is good & bad, what to believe and how to act and treat our fellow human beings. So from history and modern knowledge we ALL need to continue to grow and understand the differences that God and Nature has given us. Homosexuality is not a ticket to hell; it is not a choice or something that can change. It is one of two things or both. God’s plan, which made every single individual exactly how he wanted us and or genetically, chemically, physically there is something happening different from the time we start growing in our mothers. At some point as an intelligent and inquisitive species, our brightest minds will figure out what is happening that makes a good portion of the population homosexual. In the mean time the more people fight against people that have no choice but to be who and what they born to be, the more hate and separation there will be in the world. Religion needs to grow with the human species just like it had to from the Roman times to Medieval times to the discovery of the new world to modern times. We no longer believe act on or do thousands of the horrible things that the churches, mosques or synagogues supported or did themselves. All of the great books have been interpreted by person after person after person. We need to move forward not look back at what was said, interpreted, written, re-written and picked apart to create interpretation after interpretation. It is human nature to quest for knowled
