If being born homosexual is against God, why does God let them be born that way? Don't tell me it's just a lifestyle choice; a man doesn't "choose" what gives him wood and what doesn't. It's built into him.

Proof that homosexuality isn't a choice is the high rate of suicide among gay teenagers. They kill themselves because they're taught to despise fags, then grow up to realize they're one themselves.

Homosexuality is fairly common in nature, too. In wild ducks it's a survival advantage. Why? Because the two bonded male ducks usually also take a female mate. That means she, her nest and her young get taken care of by two males instead of one, and the offspring stand a better chance of growing up.

This is just about the best old thread I've read in some time! but, sadly, i noticed, there are a lot of members who aren't here anymore. i wonder how they are. i wonder if they will ever return. some were pretty smart and had great ideas. Not that there's anything wrong with the present crop of members, I'm just saying.....

Oxford you are totally first class in my book, I feel the same as you do in regards to your post.
I would like to see our country to be more MORALE, were becomeing desensitized. I hate the idea of Gay marriage and at least would like to see HOMO's get back in the closet. Our children are exsposed to a lot of vile crap ! My list of issues could go on, but bottom line, I hold our Government, Sumpreme court, ACLU, a small handful of Atheis and Christains responsible for the ills in the United States.
On the other hand America is full of wonderful good people, such as here at Gun and Game that are able to live with the good and the bad we face daily, I would'nt want to live any where else, but the U.S.
I do wonder what life in America would be like, if we returned back to what this Greatest Nation was founded on, and that is the word of God and his son Jesus Christ...A.H

No disrespect to your faith, AH. But the country wasn't founded on the word of God and Jesus. The founding fathers went to a lot of trouble making sure we had a secular government.

Our country was founded by a bunch of old Christian,white men,who had enough of the church controling gummint,hence the secular gummint,although they did keep a few valuies that have been discarded lately.

Don't get me wrong; I think Christian values are a good thing. It's hard to see how a man could get go wrong applying them in his own life.

The trouble comes when people start trying to force their narrow version of Christian values onto other folks, instead of letting them and God sort it out.

Remember, our problem with Muslim fanatics isn't them trying to live by their beliefs; our problem is with them insisting WE live by their beliefs. And there are a countable number of Christians out there who'd be just as fanatic at forcing their beliefs onto others, if they could get away with it.

That isn't pointed at anyone who's been posting on here. Your normal good Christian makes a good friend and neighbor, in my experience.

Why not just kill them? I'm just plain tired of hearing about the poor muslims that are so misunderstood.
