I became less religious when I went to High School. My Primary school was religious- Assembly was called Worship and the headmaster used to sing the Neighbours soap Theme tune and replace "neighbours" with "Jesus"

Have you ever thought he could have been living a lie?
so he was living a lie and he didnt know he was? hes admitted it was a lifestyle change. its a preference. a bad one if you ask me. i already stated the health risk factor. not to mention its just...well...gay.
Incidentally, Dr. James, if you were grouping eye-for-an-eye with the people who believe the world was created in seven days... I just want to point out that they believe you aren't supposed to give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You're probably thinking of turn the other cheek, which is the exact opposite.
The government is already too involved in every single little detail of every day life. You can't even own a dog without registering and paying for various fees for goodness sake. It has no right telling you how you should be educated. Granted, it should be required that you are educated... Meh. It's too complicated.
In my opinion being gay is a lot more natural than getting married. Like Adam said, there's gay animals, in ancient Greece it was totally ok for men to shamrock each other and Julius Caesar had fun with boys as well. Marriage is just made up by people, and those people where massive homophobes, right?
I am a Christian, and I think that God doesn't condemn people being gay, because they were made that way. The thing that is not right is when someone doesn't try to seek help. We can't help how we are born, but we have the power to change ourselves. These days, however, people are encouraged to be gay; i'm not sure I agree with that.
I hope this doesn't sound close-minded and arrogant, it's just my opinion . Maybe i'm wrong, but who's to judge?

But they do. As I said, there are many ways of teaching art, music, talent and opinion based subjects which produces varied results from school to school. But maths, science, english... The core subjects are exact and faultless. Science says you can't turn water into wine or walk on water without some kind of apparatus or magic do-hicky. That is what should always be compulsory (to a certain age). Else you get a divided population which foolishly leads people into believing creationism and other joke sciences (for the record my educated Catholic friends don't believe an ounce of creationism, or the whole 7 days thing). And that's bad. It's good to question founded science as it leads to further discoveries, but no Toytown 'science'.
This is ridiculous, how can someone choose to be gay.
You either like women or men.
Being a homosexual is about as wrong as being bald, yes some people choose to become one or the other but straight people don't choose to become gay because thats not how it works. You have to be gay to choose to be gay.
I'm straight ok, i like girls. I didn't choose to be straight, i just am... But if society told me i was wrong to be like this i would tell society to fuck off because i am the way i am.
It's the same as Racism. Learn to love your fellow man... er but in a platonic way if you're not gay.
Do people honestly think a straight man would choose to want to make love with other men and put up with the crap from homophobes, just to be controversial?

It still doesn't explain why God makes them gay in the first place, it doesn't seem fair he gives some people the disadvantage of being gay and having to seek help to get straight. Why would he do that?
Wow i'm impressed, even after 5 pages we are actually having a deep discussion on the dc, without people being disrespectful to others, while some have different views you guys are respecting the posts being made even if you do not agree with them. This must be some type of record
Impressive
