It's a choice, not something you're forced with is what you're basically saying, right Jim?

I'd say part nature (brain chemicals you were born with), part nurture (how you learned genders, etc.), but I wouldn't say it was a choice, unless you are bisexual.
That reminds me of another question: Any opinions about bisexuality?

Same thing. Sinful, but it's their choice.

It is, actually. I'm just basically saying I don't condone the act, but I have no reason to hate and restrict them.

Well, in the bible it exactly says marriage is for a man and women. Performing sexual or marital relations with people of the same gender, and family, isn't allowed.

It doesn't actually ever say that. It just disallows temple prostitution.

No, it actually says that. Maybe not word by word, but it does. Trust me. But just because of that, doesn't mean you can take their rights away.

Okay, my sister just read through her bible to get context. She might not have explained it right. But you are right. We have separation of church and state. Just because religion says it is wrong, that doesn't mean that the government can prevent it unless they find another reason.

Of course not. You can't hate someone for sinning. or treat them like trash.

I'm just used to people equating sin with evil. You are just saying that it is against your religion.
