Then why does this God make people gay if he doesn't like it. God being a dipshit is confirmed.

I'm glad all the liberals showed up to call us religious people idiots and show us how intelligently superior they are to us idiots who have faith.

That's an assumption on your part and the part of those who believe it's not a choice. God doesn't make people gay. Being gay serves no purpose in life, so why would any creature or person purposely be created that way?

Look at nature. The entire purpose of any individual of any species is to survive and reproduce; to pass on their genes. That is the only way a species survives. Thus, homosexuality in nature serves no purpose. If an entire population of animals ceased breeding and chose same-sex partners, it would cease to exist. Although homosexual relationships occur in nature, they are a deviation from the normal.

Humans don't necessarily have the same need, as we are the most numerous species on the planet, and with technological advances such as medicine, there isn't as great a need to reproduce. But that does not make homosexuality normal.

From a religious standpoint (and back to your assumption), it makes zero sense to assume that God would make someone homosexual with the intention of sending them to hell. Say, perhaps, that people who are gay are, in fact, born gay, and even created that way by God. That does not automatically condemn someone to hell. But, if they act on such thoughts, then they have committed sin. It is the same as a man or woman having sex out of wedlock. It is the homosexual act or extramarital sex that is a sin, not simply being gay or unmarried. We are not born to sin; we choose it through free will.

From the very beginning, sin has been a choice. If God did not intend for Adam and Eve to sin, to be able to defy him, he would have made them that way. But he gave them free will, and then instructed them on how to live. "You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and bad. From that tree you shall not eat; the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die." Adam and Eve, using free will, defied that command, and sinned in the process. God could have easily made man not without sin, but without the ability to sin. But he did not. He made man with the ability to choose--to choose God, or to turn away from him.

Whether people choose to believe that or not is up to them. But God doesn't make anyone with the intention of sending them to hell through their very being. It is through the choices we make that our destination is decided.

Funny you should say that because this God you speak of is an assumption on your part also.

It's an "assumption" that has been made for thousands of years. Only in recent human history has the belief that there is no God become even remotely mainstream.

Either way, neither you or I can prove or disprove the existence of God scientifically.

Is choice is to be celibate, dumbass. If a straight person chooses to stop having sex, does that prove being straight is a choice?

When a gluten chooses to eat right and exercise, when an alcoholic chooses to stop drinking, when a drug addict chooses to stop taking drugs. Are they still drug addicts, alcoholics, glutens? It doesn't matter.

They make a conscious choice to turn fron sin. That's all anyone who calls themselves a Christian does. We all sin. It doesn't matter what the sin is, it's when you acknowledge God and make a conscious choice to turn away from it.

I read somewhere once that there are a million ants on the planet for every human. I’m not sure that’s exactly true or not, but I’m still willing to bet that ants are a good bit more numerous than us.

LMAO only in western culture can you find ignorance like this. Buddhism existed before christianity and has always been an agnostic religion. Questioning the existence of a God goes as far back as orginally believing in one.

The only difference in now is the world is more connected than ever before allowing like minded people to share their ideas across the globe. This makes it seem like a new occurrence I can assure you it isn't
