Do you consider those that enter religious orders to be suffering from a pestilence? After all, by taking vows of chastity, they will not be procreating. You could just as well say of the parish priest, "any person who is converted, infected, seduced to that life style becomes extinct". I have a brother who has a severe case of cerebral palsy, and is vert unlikely to procreate. I wish it were not so, but I would be far from saying that his life is pestilential because of it.
As I said, I am asking about over all social impact. We do not know how much experimentation goes on, or if it is likely to stick, because of homosexual influence.
All that I was saying is that there is no reliable way to change proclivities. Sometimes it seems to occur, but not often. Thus, I consider the use of the term miracle for a conversion by grace reasonable. I do not intend any sort of ridicule.
The issue of genetics versus experience is pretty irrelevant. What is relevant is the deep seatededness of the condition, and the rarity of conversion to heterosexuality.
I did not suggest that changing one's mind is impossible. I suggested that it may only be possible through an act of grace that we cannot depend on as we would a cure....... |
