Gary E. Schwartz PhD has a nice quote that fits very well into this proposal ("[Have god do something cool so that I can believe in 'im]"). The quote is: "You can't have the universe."
If there is a god, he has created it the way he felt like creating it with an outcome that will be in his...
Good question. A few more to add to it:
Why do homosexuals have greater protection in law? (Through hate crimes)
Why are we forced to accept homosexuality? (anti-discrimination laws)
Why are they given tax breaks? (And, more importantly, why don't other sexual deviants?)
The majority of...
If you *really* want to know what "God" thinks about sex in general: Look at every single prophet and holy man in the bible. Does it *ever* mention them having sex?
This either means:

That's a tough argument.
We all exist because we present new information that had not already been known in the universe. New information including, but not limited to, our position in space and time.

We have an entire branch of government dedicated to judging our neighbors. Notice also, that it's not the judge that does the judging, but, again, each of us. Welcome to the real world, MidnightBlue. Here we are, at least, accountable by one another.
"So what?"!? Surely you can see the...
"Identical twins have identical genes. If homosexuality was a biological condition produced inescapably by the genes (e.g. eye color), then if one identical twin was homosexual, in 100% of the cases his brother would be too. But we know that only about 38% of the time is the identical twin...
Bleh... Simply because research is old, doesn't mean that it is invalid unless the research was incorrectly done.
"If homosexuality were significantly influenced by genes, it would appear in every culture, but in twenty-nine of seventy-nine cultures surveyed by Ford and Beach in 1952...
