Why would someone use the word fault? There is no fault...it is like saying who's fault is it that you are a woman....a man...

its my fault sorry, after i sleep with someone it usally turns them gay.

It's no one's fault that your DNA is sequenced in a certain way. It is just they way the amino acids combined in your case. It's no big deal.

So I guess what all of you are saying is that our Lord has destroyed two cities for homosexuality and condems it. But at the same time creates a human being with this vile structure designed into them. So as to create something that God him self hates. That does not seem correct to me.

To address your answer, which I've quoted here: "So I guess what all of you are saying is that our Lord has destroyed two cities for homosexuality and condems it. But at the same time creates a human being with this vile structure designed into them. So as to create something that God him self hates. That does not seem correct to me." ~~~~~ Respectfully, when you view homosexuality like that, of course it seems incorrect. But, in my opinion, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because He hated lust and promiscuity's corruption of love, not because He saw gay people as sick or twisted. Most gay people sense they're "different" when they're young. And most people who believe homosexuality is a choice are those whose understanding is limited by what they've read or heard. Being gay is not defying God by choice. Living openly as a gay man or woman is about understanding and accepting yourself, even when our culture still scorns, ridicules, and ostracizes. Even though God's people scream, "You're going to Hell - you CHOSE to be gay. You're an abomination in God's eyes because your love is WRONG." A choice? Only a masochistic fool would choose a lifestyle subjected to hate. You wrote, "...creates a human being with this vile structure designed into them". "Vile"? Wow. I read that and feel like crying. People are gay because of who they love, who they connect with, emotionally, spiritually, mentally. Sex is an incidental. Love is the strongest, most positive, life-affirming force in the universe. Two people, gay or straight, who genuinely love each other, sharing each other's lives - how can that possibly be vile? I applaud you for asking this question. My truth about choice is this: asking who's at fault is making a choice. You're choosing to focus on and dwell in ego-centered negativity. You're choosing to ignore God's words, "Love thy neighbor as thyself" and "Judge not, lest ye be judged". And, in a sense, you're choosing to ignore the spirit of the First Commandment, "Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me". Why? Because you're choosing to put your time and energy into something God never intended: Using your limited human intellect, influenced by emotion, to judge other people. And for what? I suspect at least a few of The Faithful subconsciously feel, "God, I've got my flaws, but at least I'm not one of THEM. Since you hate THEM, I must be OK, which means I'm not going to Hell, right, God?" All I can say to that is >> if you're basing your eternal security on what you're NOT - somehow, you're missing God. Deep down, you're living in fear. In her June 9, 2008, Newsweek column on gay marriage, Anna Quindlen asked this wise and wonderful question. Please consider her words: "...is there so much love and commitment in the world that we can afford, as a society, to be contemptuous of some portion of it?"

Thankfully, the majority of Christians I know were not taught that it was OK to be intolerant and preach hatred. I never learned any such nonsense in church/Sunday school growing up. I was always taught that God created and loves us all. Anyone who uses religion to justify bigotry is nothing but a hypocrite. Being gay or lesbian is no more a choice than my being tall, having blue eyes or being caucasian. I didn't "choose" my sexual orientation any more than a heterosexual did. I had straight parents, didn't know anyone gay growing up, and was never raped/molested. I could rattle off all of the other nonsense lies and stereotypes most people use as "reasons" for why someone is LGBT. It's no one's "fault" for being the way they were born...the way God created them. Being gay is not something that can be taught or learned....but being bigoted is!

1) First of all, homosexuality is not a "fault." It is one of the many blessings that brings diversity to our world. If we were all straight, white, uni-cultural, middle-class folk...oh the world would be beige and boring indeed. 2) Secondly, if one believes in God, then it is God's "fault." God made us all. Perhaps the gays, who have wonderfully enriched our world in so many ways, are here to thrush-out the assholes. So that God knows DIRECTLY where to send his lightening bolts. So...if I were you, I'd be careful! 3) Thirdly, if there is a God, by definition, s/he does not make mistakes. We are humans. We DO make mistakes. One of those mistakes is assuming that the laws God applies to himself should be followed by men. The Bible says that there will be a final day of judgment when GOD judges all men. Unless we think that we are as knowledgeable as God on the final day of judgment, we should reserve judgment to God. Haven't the many homosexual Republican scandals taught us at least that much? Often it is the ones that are the quickest to judge others that have secrets of their own that they would not want judged! And, short of a gay scandal in your own closet, perhaps no one has followed all the rules of the bible. So, whenever one jumps on another: race, sexual identy, or any other individual, one should probably take that time to invest in worrying about their own ethical problems. "Are YOU being the best YOU can be?" is the question. Or are you tap-tap-tapping your foot in an airport men's room stall?

lola, I’m probably taking a chance by responding here—I know that plenty of intolerant people will downrate for a difference of opinion—but I just answered a similar question elsewhere. In short, if one defines “being gay” as “finding people of the same sex attractive,” it’s nobody’s fault; we’re all born with imperfections. If, however, one defines “being gay” as “engaging in homosexual activities,” then it is most definitely the fault of the individual. God will only hold us responsible for those things we can control, i.e. our *actions*, not our predispositions. While Christ states that “even [our] thoughts will condemn us,” I’m certain that when an aberrant thought pops into one’s head, Father will look differently upon the individual that shoos it away than He does the individual that acts upon it.
