Re: Something interesting about gays.

Everyone is born with the propensity for sin; everyone is born with innate weaknesses and even the inclination for certain sins.

Being born *into* sin doesn't validate later sinful choices. Human beings are born with all sorts of sinful weakness; having to fight those weaknesses in accordance with God's laws is part of the human struggle.

It doesn't matter if you ascribe to the "I was born with it" or "I chose it later" theory; homosexuality is still a sin.

To the point of the original post, a previous poster (Coonskinner) said one of the most insightful things, IMO. I'm paraphrasing here, but he said that homosexuality is the ultimate worship of self--because instead of being attracted to one's opposite, complimentary gender, homosexuals are attracted to their own image. Homosexuality is rooted in narcissism.
