The religious right is facing a dilemma. Why would god create individuals gay and then turn around and send them to hell for being gay? It’s just another one of those quirky little bible things that don’t make a lot of sense. But I have to hand it to them, instead of relying on the “lord works in mysterious ways” copout. They conclude that being gay must be a personal choice. This puts the responsibility right back on man. Yet, I know for a fact that being gay is not a choice. How do I know? Simple; there is no way on earth I can go out and carry on a sexual relationship with another man. I find the thought of it personally revolting. I don’t need to read a scientific study to realize that homosexuality is not a choice for me. And for those of you who think I can learn to be gay. Well, my brother is gay; how did he learn it and I did not. We grew up together sharing the same life experiences.
My friend, who is very religious and reads the bible every day, has concluded that anyone who is practicing homosexuality is going to hell; plain and simple. According to him, they have a choice to be “good” (heterosexual) or “bad” (homosexual). Yet, in order for his “homosexuality is a choice” claim to hold water, he proclaims to me that he has the ability to go out tonight and have oral sex with another man! He just chooses not to. If you knew him, you would immediately realize how ridiculous his claim is. He is straighter than a laser beam. All I can say is that I’m glad I’m not religious, having to make these idiotic claims. I think I would much rather go with the “lord works in mysterious ways” excuse.
