So there is no morality at all then. Gotcha.

To say that sexuality has nothing to do with morality is completely ignorant.

It is a core moral issue

and every society in the history of the world has thought so. Suddenly, YOU show up and declare that the entire history of humanity is wrong but you have it figured out.
I've struck a nerve. It's your nerve. Not everybody has that nerve. It isn't the world's job to make sure that nerve isn't struck. That responsibility rests with you and you only.

It does occur for sure. but if you can not conclude that it's unnatural, then can you explain to the rest of us how it is natural?

People may believe the bible is written by men but the bible actually has addressed that issue, question or concerns. The Lord thought of everything to address our doubts. In the end, You either believe or you don't... scripture says tells us "even the demons believe" in the Almighty Lord.
I am not going quote it because you won't read it anyways.

How many of you would trust a gay male teen to babysit your children?
I would, and have. Both of my kids took swim lessons from a homosexual male around 18 or 19. They loved him, and he loved them. He also babysat them a couple of times. No issues.

The fact is a lot of people who are homosexuals were sexually abused as children.
So were a lot of heterosexuals, so not sure where you're going with this.

If we are honest, we all have a sin problem.
Of course we do, which makes it all the more curious that many Christians elevate homosexuality "sin" to a such a lofty one, and use that "sin" to work so feverishly to deny them equal rights. That's why so many are labeled ignorant and bigots.

For you. Apparently that a sexuality is right or wrong is part of the moral code by which you have chosen to live.
It's part of EVERYONE'S moral code.
Unless, of course, you think that it's perfectly fine and "normal" to have sex with goats, dogs, cats, kids, etc.
If you are fine with homosexuality, beastiality, pedophilia, etc. it's still part of your moral code -- it's just that you don't have much of a moral code.

Hell, SR the very essence of Darwinian Evolution - Competition, a form of consequential 'judgement' promoting the survival and prosperity of the fittest (most moral) - could be considered a "mental disorder". Brings out the best in the best of us...brings out the worst too.

Morality is human construct and has evolved and changed within each society. There was a time dating outside of your race was immoral. There was a time sending your kids to school with black children was immoral. There was a time, long ago in other cultures, when it was morally OK for 14 year olds to have sex and procreate.
It's okay to think homosexuality is immoral. Everyone has their own moral code. The morals of a society though are determined by the majority, and right now the prevailing opinion is shifting towards homosexuality being moral.

Most Gays I have met are very nice people...
Most sitters are not 19 years old however...they are closer to 15-16...Regardless of known sexual orientation, I think knowing the family and the teen is best way to have a comfort and peace of who is watching over your children.

And the ones I know from church over a 20 years span struggle with homosexual thoughts from being sexually abused as a preteen by an uncle or another male... these men I know are in the 50's. Been married to a woman for 30 years and have grown children. These encounters haunt them their entire lives. It's a mind game that rages war sometimes.
Look, as a Christian we actually talk to fellow believers beyond the weather and sporting events. We actually talk about our deepest fears and struggles and thoughts that plague us...So that's how I know the impact of sexual abuse. It never fully goes away, it's a life long battle to manage the scars it created...

I am going to agree with you on this one. The issue is the world wants to glorify this lifestyle under the tent of "Equality". It's hard for Christians who also have a voice and vote will show up and vote against things they don't' believe in. Its' direct conflict with their conscious of what society should consider "normal"
the lord Jesus would just say "go and sin no more"... but the world is saying "what are you talking about Jesus, this is who I am".

Why are Christian nut jobs like you so obsessed with homosexuality? Is it to compensate for the pervasive history of priests molesting young boys?

In some states, maybe.
But, when you have to get morally and intellectually bankrupt judges to invent Constitutional rights out of whole cloth to FORCE your social/political agenda on a people who voted (overwhelmingly in many cases) against your social/political agenda, you can hardly make the case that the "prevailing opinion is shifting towards homosexuality." It's being forced upon people whether they agree with it or not.

You're incorrect in two ways and here's why.
Liberal California voted for that in 2008, and so did red Texas in 2005. From 1998 to 2012—not say, from 1870 to 1890, or some other long-gone time period—34 states voted on defining marriage as being between a man and a woman—and only three voted against it.
And now the will of the people is being struck down by judge after judge.
Numbers like those do not lie, the majority of Americans clearly want marriage to remain between one man and one woman but supporters of the gay agenda are usurping the will of the majority via the courts. So not only are you wrong about the majority being allowed to determine the moral code of society, you're also wrong about the majority shifting towards homosexuality being moral.

Living your life based on a book written 3,000 years ago is more preposterous than "believing" in homosexuality.
Interesting in that I did not see one reference to this book prior to your hit job.

How is it "unnatural"? Does it not occur in nature?
I would assume then eating tasty offspring of another member of the group is also natural? I think natural is meant by the former poster as something considered normal and accepted by the group. That being said, natural does not make something good or bad. Homosexuality is a societal more, and as such will be determined by society, with such society receiving the benefits/detriments it brings. We shall see, won't we?

Which is why I said it was shifting. I didn't say the majority is in favor of it as that is debatable depending on which survey(s) you believe. The gap between those that oppose and those that support has been shrinking the past few years.

You are just ignorant of the fine and fabulous essence of fecal coli. You'll get there eventually. It's like hating your first taste of scotch at age 19 and trying it again at 29 and loving it.

Your opinions are based on a foundation made of sand, and that is why that foundation shifts so often.
