[Larry King] asked how homosexuality can be called a sin, "if we don't know what causes it. You don't know why you're a heterosexual," he added. "There's a lot of things, Larry, and I don't understand — so I just don't want to preach on it, preach about it," Osteen replied.

What the what?

There’s no sense in making people feel bad about themselves. Sure it’s wrong but just remember God loves us just the way we are. That’s why we are going through that BIG WIDE gate instead of that narrow winding one that is more difficult.

The Osteen/Lakewood Creed

This is my Bible.
I am what it says I am.
I have what it says I have.
I can do what it says I can do.
Today I will be taught the Word of God. (Except for the parts dealing with homosexuality)
I boldly meekly confess.
My mind is alert.
My heart is receptive. (Except to homosexual being sinful)
I will never be the same.
I am about to receive the incorruptible, indestructible ever-living seed of the Word of God. (Except the part about homosexuality being sinful.)
I will never be the same.
Never, never, never. (What is this, a Taylor Swift Song? )
I’ll never be the same.
In Jesus’ name. God bless you and you may be seated.

We don’t know what causes pedophilia, necrophilia, or whatever attracts men to sheep, but none of the above is going to result in a human birth.

Homosexuality is an inversion of the miracle of reproduction, and a subversion of the nuclear family. Mom’s can’t do what dad’s are supposed to do, and vice versa. You can argue all day about pinch hitting in those roles, but at the end of the day, my daughter isn’t blocking out time on her calendar to go bra shopping with Pop.

The problem we have now with this issue is that even proposing any sort of scientific inquiry as to what DOES cause homosexuality is now out of the question. Same is true with pedophilia as well, because if the research suggests any sort of link between the two and the lavender mafia will go after your family.

It’s why Larry’s question is unfair.

Anybody caught trying to actually use science to explain homosexuality is going to meet with, at the very least, no funding, and at most, death threats.

Larry King is right sort of. Homosexual attractions are no more sins than heterosexual ones. What are sins are acting out homosexual attractions or those attractions to fornication, child abuse and adultery to name a few. Another sin is to celebrate and approve of those acts. A further sin is to condemn the person who engages in the acts.
