So according to the bible being gay is a sin. And according to most people being gay isn't a choice your either born gay or your not. So if God created everyone then why would make people gay & then condemn them?

Please don't tell me that Satan created gays he lacks the power nor they there demons going around cursing people & making them gay.


I met one guy who said there were gay demon spider that would bite me hence making them gay. No really..

Occasionally I see posts that ask questions concerning some biblical or religious irrationality. The simplest and most probable (although unprovable) answer is that god did not create gays, or anyone else. Satan likewise did not create gays. In fact, Satan did not create the Connecticut gunman. He was likely the product of his environment, and perhaps something like a brain chemical imbalance, along with various other factors. No devil, no Satan.

"Being Gay" is never addressed in the Bible. Committing homosexual acts is condemned, though.

So is alcoholism.

God creates people heterosexual, and condemns us for having opposite-gender sex outside of marriage. For that matter, lusting after someone of the opposite gender is condemned.

That's the product of a sinful world.

Just for the record, being gay is not a sin. Having gay sex is the issue.

If a person wants to be right with God then one should not engage in willful sin, be it drunkness, judgementalism, unforgiveness, lieing, stealing, fornication, adultry or "whatever" as mentioned in the NT.

People who think the Bible says "being gay" is a sin are ignorant. Gay, as a sexual orientation, wasn't even discovered until 1800 years after the Bible was written. And the only same-sex behavior discussed in the Bible involves heterosexuals engaging in same-sex prostitution, or rape. Neither of which condemn gay people anymore than prostitution and rape condemn all heterosexuals.

But religious extremists need something to hate, so they will continue to cherry pick the Bible to justify their bigotry. They're in for a rude awakening on Judgement day.

Is that why every animal species on earth has gays in it? The brains of gays are physically structured differently. Orientation is something you're born with, so yes God created gays.

Psalm 139:

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

It's the sex act, most specifically anal intercourse that's sinful, not being gay in itself. People may not be able to control who they are attracted to or even who they love, but they do have a choice on whether or not to have sex. The same restrictions are placed on heterosexual couples outside the marriage bed. I have tried to wrap my mind around the temple prostitution argument, but it simply doesn't hold weight when you read the text for what it says.

So gay people are not suppoed to have sex? And gay women don't have intercourse so they arn't sinning when they have sex?

What is the difference between gay people and hetero men that REALLY like women? If you're not married, don't have sex. It's that simple.
