From the is gay a choice thread, since science seems to be leading to a combination of factors from genetic to birth conditions to influences?
Why is it immoral to be gay, if your stuck with it from birth why is it immoral to have these feelings or to act on them, what religion asks is that you act like a eunuch, and pretend your sexuality deosn't exist.
Here's the quote from the other thread since it is OT, and I don't want to get off the beaten track there.
Poll coming.

Think about yourself though, had you been born straight in a world of homosexuals where straightness is morally wrong, abnormal(I know ridiculous situation) How would you feel if you were told that the way you felt naturally was immoral and that being attracted to a different sex is morally wrong?
Also think about exactly how it harms anyone? Let's face it AIDS is now pretty much a sexual disease not a homosexual one, so apart from it's the fact that two guys sleep together and have a relationship how is it doing damage from a modern perspective, who's suffering, what harm and what foul? Do you not thinking it's just an example of human practices, also do you think if it was so morally repugnant would not of Jesus mentioned it directly?
Why does it take a man a hundred or so years later to add this addendum to the bible, an addendum that specifies particular types of gay sex? No not homosexuality per se, but certain forms of it, which also happen to be the same as Jewish custom of the time(and which aren't any more, well apart
from the pederasty bit) Now you spring forward 2000 years and all homosexuality, whether from a married man or between two gay people is wrong? And the only really damming account is in Leviticus and let's face it no one follows all the odd Jewish laws in there, why didn't God say though shalt not sleep with a man of the same sex? Why does it take a set of archaic Jewish laws to pronounce this?
Frankly most Countries in Europe and some of there churches are going to hell, because they tolerate, even accept that something you are potentially born with, should not be discriminated against? Why did God put homosexuality in nature if it was wrong? Did he screw up, why do almost all sophisticated mammals indulge in it and many other non-sophisticated animals? Why do we, why is it in our genetic code?
What sense does it make to put something that is inherently sinful in man? Just to wind up religious bigots and fundies? It makes no sense?
