<What if everyone is perfect just as they are?> I meant that I found it hard to believe that God, if He exists, would be such a mean God that he would create beings, some of which were imperfect in the sense that they were homosexual, and then consign them to a sinful state unless they abstained from sexual expression their entire lives. Who are we to make such horrendously confining rules for other people, and decide they are sinful if they do not abide by those rules? Incidentally, I already posted a story about oystercatcher birds, who are lesbians as I recall. The scientific literature is absolutely full of examples of homosexual animals, not just in thought but in deed. Is it really possible that God would create animals like that, if He meant homosexuality to be a state of disgrace? And are animals free from sin in a Christian sense? Incidentally, look at the post you wrote me. Don't you think that is slightly offensive to someone who is not even a Christian? What if everyone is perfect just as they are? Christine, do me a little favor. I want you to write down on a piece of paper every single time you have an ill thought towards anyone else, and every time you speak ill of or to someone else. Sins of commission are in thought, word, and deed. Do the above record keeping for a couple of days, and try to be honest--God knows your thoughts, so it won't do any good to not count some of them. You may be able to deceive me, but you won't be deceiving God. Good luck. I think you'll find that you sin much every day, and deserve nothing but punishment, just like the Bible says. Well, whatever. Homosexual sex acts described scientifically, right here!!!qrd.rdrop.com
