hmmmm.... not really liking where this is leading to...but i'll play along.
First of all, mentaly ill people can't sin. If you sin, without ever knowing that it was a sin, then it is not a sin. The seriously mentally ill people can't even tell right from wrong, so how could they ever sin? They can't, even if that person kills 20 people it is still not a sin; because he has no way of knowing that it is wrong. If i was from a different country where the custom was to punch you in the face as a friendly gretting, and i come to the US and the first person i meet i use my countries way of saying hello by punch the guy right in his face. Would that be wrong on my part because i didn't know that this was "wrong" in the US, heck no. that was an example, there is no country with that custom (that i know of) it was used purly as an example.
Also, you are born gay. Simple as that. You don't just wake up one morning and go "hey, i'm gay".
Let me explain that alittle better. Do u (and i am assuming that u are straight, u may not be, i don't know... this is an example and i mean no offence by it) ,as a straight person, deside that you like the oppiset sex? Do u have to wake up each morning and make that choice over and over and over again? Probily not. The same goes for everything in your psyci, what are your likes, your dislikes and everything that makes up your personallity.Granted up bringing DOES have an influence on how you think and act, so it is also possible to not be born gay and still be gay.
The reason why I think that everybody, namely religion, has a problem with being gay is because it is not procreative.I can see where they are coming from, but also the bible tells us not to judge people, but to treat everyone with the same respect as you would like to be treated.Therefore, i really don't have a problem with gays. I wouldn't hate you for being gay, you can't hate a person soly on the fact that they are different and you don't like it.
God is not "cruel" because he makes people with handicaps, he makes them because he has to.Think of it this way, there HAS to be evil in the world to know what good is. How horrible would it be if EVERYONE was perfectly healthy and not a thing wrong with them and nothing ever went wrong, we could never apprecate how truely good we have it because we wouldn't have anything to compair it to because everything was always at its best.
Drac, man, you take bible stories way to literaly. Of course you could never ever ever fit all the animals in thwe world into a boat, hell we couldn't even to that now. Hell the bible said that Noah lived to be 900 years old. It was a story made to make a more abstract point, not be 100% fact. Its like saying the 3 little pigs couldnever happen because a wolfs' lungs could not produce enough force of blowing air to knock down a house. of course it couldn't have happened, its a story that teaches a lession.

Educated masses seek answer and further science in the search for knowledge. Uneducated masses must resort to religion to find a reason for life. Educated masses can choose their future, whether they believe or not, whether they will search for answers or not. Uneducated masses are not allowed to choose
