I have before heard you mention this doctrine of the pre-existence of the soul, and must tell you that the Christian Church has always rejected it as pure heresy. The great Church Father Origen was excoriated by the Church merely for speculating upon it. The notion that God randomly throws humans together so that they are the “wrong” sex is pure blasphemy. You are but a man, and are of yourself in no position to judge as “wrong” anything God does. I speak to you as one who claims to be Christian. You speak heresy and you blaspheme God. None of these beliefs of yours are found within historic Christianity.

MY GOD doesn't make junk! But he allows free will. Homosexuals are not BORN that way. THEY decide or are taught. When they cite Medical evidence as being born homosexual, they are taking the evidence from a homosexual doctor or researcher. They are only attempting to brain wash the public into believing that it is normal. However, EVERYONE down deep knows that it is not normal. Example: Isolate only homosexuals on an island. Allow them to ONLY practice their homosexual behavior. IF NO ONE cheats and has heterosexual sex, after that generation, the discussion would indeed be over. If you are too dense to understand.......NO CHILDREN WOULD BE BORN!! NOW, HOW IS THAT NORMAL??? Heterosexual behavior is normal, homosexual behavior in a deviation from normal. Just because deviates say they are normal, it does not make them normal. They are far from a normal human being, as far as their sexual practices are concerned. We as a society have allowed the DEVIATES to change our laws to legalize their behavior, to our SHAME! Should we love the person? Absolutely !!! Should we accept the homosexual practice? Absolutely NOT !!! Should some weirdo in society injure or kill a homosexual? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Society must deal with the weirdo just as any other criminal.

I knew you would jump on any justification. Didn't have to have much to base it on. Congratulations. Too bad you have such a hard time justifying the truth.

Garrison Keilor calls this the gum ball theory of life. Souls line up and take the next family, country, race that happens to comes out just like putting a penny in a gum ball machine.

Who knows? THE PILL AND BIRTH DEFECTS It is of interest to note that the Food and Drug Administration have previously issued a "...warning of teratogenicity [3] in fetuses of women who conceived immediately after stopping oral contraceptives". Prof. Rahwan also has written on this point: "Patients should be instructed that it is important to discontinue the oral contraceptive about 3 months prior to conceiving, since there is emerging evidence that chromosomal abnormalities are higher in pregnancies that begin the month following discontinuation of the pill". As well, he warns of problems related to transplacental teratogenesis (birth defects due to hormones crossing to the baby via the placenta). He sees the progestins as clearly implicated in birth defects: "recent studies indicate that if used during the early months of pregnancy progestins quintuple the usual risk of harm to the fetus of deformities of the arms and legs ..a higher incidence (>10%) of cardiovascular malformations has also been reported in offspring's prenatally exposed to sex steroids (particularly progestins).... The overall incidence of major malformations is 26%, and that of minor malformations is 33% higher, in offspring's prenatally exposed to female sex steroids as compared to the general population.". The litigious implications of inappropriately labelling a drug's capacity for causing birth defects (teratogenicity) is an issue which manufacturers would be well advised to re-consider. The aforementioned problems with in utero exposure to sex hormones also have significant legal implications in view of the current world-wide push to make "post-coital contraceptives" a non prescription over-the-counter purchase.
