But the reason I say no one is born gay is because no one would think anybody was unless they sought an excuse as I described. ...in my opinion.

I was sent a link to this and it hurts enough to break my almost four year silence.
Mike, you're not just wrong, you're being a complete, heartless, arrogant jerk about it. "Born gay" created as an excuse for sin? That is the most flabbergasting, moronic, head-stuck-in-the-sand statement I've ever seen. Do you still insist the earth is flat and the sun rotates around the earth?
Most people that are gay show evidence of it by age 3. Brain MRI's show differences. There are chromosome differences. I've identified gay children before they were in kindergarten and watched them eventually "come out." It's not rocket science, not excuses, it's simple observation and science.
I know I'm not going to change your arrogant, self-centered mind about this, but I am going to stand up for someone like Tim's son, whom I know, have spent time with, and who is a caring, kind, compassionate, gentle, understanding soul, possessing all the characteristics of Jesus that you don't. I can say the same thing about Tim.
The thought that Tim's son has had to endure years of sorrow, suicidal desires, and spiritual torture, BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU, makes my heart hurt and makes me RUN from any kind of religion that is populated by your kind.
And it's not just Tim's son, it's hundreds of thousands.....millions of wonderful people.
Do you realize that around the world, EVERY DAY, an average of FIFTY gay teens take their lives???? And you know why? Because of religious people like you.
There's blood on your hands.
If you don't believe that homosexuality is pleasing to God, fine, whatever. But stop being an idiot about it. Stop the insanity.
