Bumper Sticker.
Just got back from lunch with family and, through the window near our table, I saw another bumper sticker I'd never seen before.
If God hadn't made homosexuals there wouldn't be any.
On the one hand I find this a shaky statement as an argument -- you could just as easily say if God hadn't made alcoholics or murderers or pedophiles, etc., etc. And I'm not equating any of those things by the way, just saying you could justify any and all behavior with that statement.
On the other hand, what a terrible place to be in if you really thought God had made you a certain way and yet there were societal, religious and personal pressures saying you were somehow made wrong. I mean, I have certain sins that beset me, but I don't say God made me that way so I should indulge...rather I say those are my particular burdens to bear and overcome with God's help.
I'm pretty sure I spoke to this in a post awhile back, but it is my belief through some different reading I've done that homosexuality has not been proven to be 100% genetic. However, even if it was proven at some future point, that wouldn't change my belief that it is something to be overcome, just as a genetic predisposition to alcoholism or violent tendencies or other things that have genetic evidence backing them up.
