Your statement is something I have a hard time wrapping my mind around. As a conservative Christian, are you saying God created gays to send them straight to eternal damnation? Are you saying there is no hope for them at all? I disagree. I understand that an argument can be made that because they have been given over to reprobate minds, their brains don’t function well enough for them to make good decisions, but I still disagree that they cannot choose to do what is right. Every human being capable of thought can choose whether to act on sinful thoughts or not. It does not matter whether they are “hard-wired that way” or not. Just as we all have the ability to refuse to act on sin, they do not have to act on their contrarian, anti-God, “instinctual attraction.” So yes, choosing to be a homosexual is a choice.

Yes, I am saying they were made, or “wired” that way and YES I am a conservative christian. I can’t believe why it would be so hard for someone to understand. You don’t think God would create a being that is hard-wired to want to have sexual relations with their own sex but you would admit that God does “make” people who are hard-wired to commit any multitude of other sins wouldn’t you? I don’t know how this is unclear. We are sinful. In the Bible we are all called filthy rags. Wretched. There is none without sin, no not one. And so on. Did God create people with deformities? Psychopaths? Autism? Hermaphrodites? What about the kids who get Leukemia and die? This life is full of struggles, heartbreak, and sin. DO you think God created it all? I can ask you that same question about any abnormality or mindset that anyone might be born with so why would you think that, if God can allow people to be born with faulty genes, propensity for certain sins and not others, and abnormalities of all kinds, why would you think that the organic homosexual brain is the one thing which God would not allow to happen? Is it somehow different???
