If they are "born that way", then how does that explain the 'LUG' (Lesbian Until Graduation) crowd? :-)
Big time wrong on one of your points my friend. God cares very deeply about your sex life. If you think otherwise, you are reading the Bible with a very big eraser in your hand.
>> As far celibacy goes, this is not something that is mandated for priest in scripture at all. <<
Well, actually Paul DOES recommend chastity for those who are capable of controlling their passions and wish to devote their lives to the service of Christ. The Roman Catholic Church's Western (Latin) Patriarchy, in its prudence, decided that it would be best to choose such people for the priesthood. The matter is strictly prudential, and is not doctrine. But it is a prudence which adheres to the advice of St. Paul.
At the same time, the Catholic Church has emphasized that one need not be a priest to demonstarte devotion to God. Men and women who chose parenthood over the "religious life" have been made canonical saints (a recognition that they have placed service God above all else in their lives). But a father must place the needs of those whom God has entrusted to him through parenthood and the sacrament of marriage above the needs of everyone else, and so the Western Church deems it best to select those who have placed parochial ministry above all else.
What IS truly tragic is the notion, which was apparently commonly held among religious Catholic homophiles in America that being a priest is a fall-back position for those who are incapable of marriage.
From the time my younger brother was about 6, we knew he was a fruiter. He didn't disappoint. That boy is queerer than Liberace. And he would tell you that he was always ALWAYS a fag, and that it was never a choice.
I've gone through one analysis of studies from Colombia & Yale and another from Cambridge. The latter concludes that, "…it seems reasonable to conclude that male homosexuality, or, at least, some 'types' of male homosexuality, are under some degree of genetic control, although various problems with this data prevent more precise conclusions from being drawn.
The former goes a step or two further toward environment and says that the data is inconstant with a simple genetic influence model", that "there's substantial support for the role of social influences ", and that "its consistent with a general model that allows for genetic expression of same-sex attraction under specific, highly circumscribed, social conditions." "
Since they weren't born that way, were they sucked into it? :^D
I have a relative who has said the same thing. He says that he has known from a very early age.
You mean the ones observed in zoo's or in the wild? See any parallels from prison inmates in long term incarceration? You've been had.
Ummmm... what else do you expect them to say?
If a thief tells you that he just knew that he was meant to steal since the age of 4 do we then accept what they say as truth and help them lead their "genetically forced lifestyle" of stealing?
What about the people who have sex with farm animals and claim that they wanted to do Porky Pig since they were three? Should we accept and endorse their behavior? It certainly "does no harm" to others, as the homosexual lobby would say.
Oh yes..The only thing that heterosexual guys envy about homosexuals is the ability for Queers to come on like gang busters straight to the point when there looking for some extra curricular activity....
No beating around the fluff and stuff bush with them...
Baby raping pedophiles believe that they are born that way
So does hog and horse lovers, simply madness, these people once worked in the circus...
And you just accept that at face value? What did you do to help your brother turn away from his perversion? Nothing? I suggest your were either too lazy or too indifferent to help him, it must be easier to believe homosexual propaganda than to investigate the root cause. Too bad for him.
What behavior did you observe a 6-year old kid do that convinced you he was gay? Did he install track lighting in Star Wars Death Star action set? I can't help thing of the Saturday Night Live ads for "Homocil."
There is a birth defect in some Spanish peoples where a male's genitalia do not descend until the child is several years old. As a result, little boys are mistaken for being little girls, and are often raised as girls for several years. Homosexuality is fairly prevalent among children with disorder, even though there is no apparent linkage to hormonal levels. When I had most recently read about it, it was thought that the homosexuality was a result of literal gender confusion.
I have been concerned that the homosexual fixation Western society now has results in sexually ambigous, effeminate children assuming homosexual identities. I would, however, presume that most such children would tend towards bisexuality, not strict homosexuality. So I ask this to be informed, and not to make a rhetorical point: Is he bisexual, or strictly homosexual?

Hate to rain on anyone's parade, but studies indicate there are both genetic and environmental factors involved in sexual orientation. This would mean that for some inividuals, genetic factors might be predominant. Why does it matter?

I don't know, there was this kid I went to grade school with who is gay. It was pretty obvious from day 1. the same can be said for my wife's 8 year old cousin - That kid is GAY!
