Why are you attempting to debate the very nature of Christianity. It has a
written instruction perceived to be influenced by a devine entity and has
power via the individuals who believe it. Christians are just as free as
anybody to believe what they want, but Christianity cannot be rewritten
without accepting the notion of a falable god. Any belief that deviates
from the instruction of the Holy Bible is not Christian, no matter how
similiar the belief may be.
An interesting note to ponder: The Bible is very explicit where sex is
concerned and states that many forms of sexual behavior are abominations.
However, nowhere does the Bible say that a certain race of people should be
ostrasized, only certain behaviors. The Bible refers to homosexuality as a
sexual behaviour.

| (...) Maybe you're not understanding the question... I'll try and ask again. What difference does it make whether or not we're genetically predisposed to prefer sin? If I have an urge to steal, to murder, to not worship God, or to be gay, what (...) (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
