And you are basing this on what? Also, the "flaming homos" comment is pulling a LOT of steam out of your argument. I have a friend who is gay, and he didn't start out as a "flaming homo", but he eventually became one through hanging out with gay people after he caame out of the closet. I think this is a result of feeling repressed for 20 some odd years and feeling like something was wrong with him, rather than he just wants to be gay. Considering the amount of prejudice that homosexuals face in America, I don't think anyone would pick that if they had a choice.

Jesus really never talked about it because by the time he was around homosexuals realy weren't much of an issue then.

Um, NO. Homosexuals were around a LONG time before Jesus. There are many accounts of gay bath houses in Rome and many other cultures before the birth of Christ. Christ hung out with 12 guys... what does that tell you? (Ok, that was a REALLY bad joke)

The bible has been edited, yes. I dont think it's been edited to an extent that people have added whatever they thought was bad. The bible is the word of god, not the word of other opinions.

Thats your religious opinion, not necessarily true. Plus there are even holes in your argument. The Bible has been translated and retranslated numerous times. These were all done by man. If man if inherently fallable, whats to say there weren't mistakes. Maybe God loves Homos and we straight guys are going to burn in hell.

Again, god didn't make them gay. Science really can't prove that homosexuality is genetic. It is a decision men and women make. Even if it is in your genes, you can stil be straight. Jesus wanted everyone treated evenly if they folow the word of god.

Science can't PROVE that gay men are born straight. Can you PROVE that being gay is just a choice or that God didn't make them that way? I even challenge to to find the part of the Bible that states that God didn't make people gay. Also, if Jesus (who is an extension of God) wanted to treat everyone evenly to follow the word of God, then why are some peope gay, and most aren't? It doesn't sound like they are being treated evenly to me.

I'm not saying no against gay marriages in general, just throughtout the church.

I think each church should be allowed to make their own decision on that, except the Catholic church because their own stance in hippocritical considering the actively harbor perverted homosexual priests. At least most gay people aren't predators, unlike those that the Catholic Church protects.

But churches are independent bodies separate from the government, so they are free to chose whatever they like. The question is whether or not the government should get involved, which they have no right to.

Why the government has not gotten involved in whole pedophile priest ordeal, I have no idea. Last time I heard an adult sexually forcing themselves on a minor was against the law.
