well actually you can or at least change how you interpret it. Read the history of the Civil war and equal rights for blacks from a religious point of view.

Um, but this dude was actually trying to get peopl'e signatures to send to the pope, so he cansend it to God.

I may believe in a lot of things, but not that.

GOD is:

Actually, there are a number of reasons why people would choose to become homosexual. It could BE simple loneliness. It could BE confusion on the part of individuals to express themselves sexually. One man may feel it is convenient and comfortable to share his feelings and sexual intimacy exclusively with other men. It can BE the fact that, in one or many previous lives as a woman, someone may come back as a man but still retain the preference of sharing with another man. The damaging or disappointing effects of a heterosexual relationship can bring on homosexuality in this lifetime. These are not MY reasons; they are just some of the reasons I have observed throughout your history.

Trinity writes:Yes God is all those omni's. He is also something else. Understanding. He knows we need room to grow and be ourselves so He lets people do what they want, even if He doesn't like their choice.

If GOD doesn’t like our choices in this physical existence than he can not be that UNDERSTANDING can he?

By actually getting in touch with GOD and writing your own. EveryONE has a Bible within them.

The way I see it, (If God DID create man), is that males and females were created with their respective parts. Apparently, we were created to "Share" our love with our partner, and producing the gift of "life". So, if we used these "parts" the way God had intended us to, we would be carrying out his "gift" and "miracle" of life.

However, some people may not want to follow this, or, like carderro wrote:

which is a desriptive answer. Especially Lonliness. Alot of people may turn gay due to
being the only one at school that didn't "pick up", or have just found that they get along better with the same sex.

Now, I can see the meaning behind why we were created that way. But if people want to be gay, let them.

You are obviously not looking at all of God's creation.

I believe that this is how GOD feels about it as well. I do not think that GOD views/judges gender and sexes as traditionally as humans perceive them

[SoulTYPE]

Because God respects us infinite times more than we respect each other. (Well, supposedly, I don't follow that religion, but yeah)
