Don't bother. He's also one who presented homosexuality as a choice. The evidence being that someone wanted to rent him at a truck stop and he said no. So for him it obviously was a choice, since he could work in the rent boy business any time he wants.

So, don't take that diatribe too seriously.

Facepalm how idiotic!

He needs to understand that homosexual acts are a choice but homosexuality is not. I could perform or engage in homosexual acts but I wouldn't feel comfortable because I'm straight, just as I wouldn't feel comfortable if I were to have sex with a woman I whom find unattractive. Doesn't mean I couldn't do it I just wouldn't put myself through it.

As a male it's virtually impossible. No hard feelings, if you get my drift.

Yes but that's not the only kind of homosexual act.

Sure, but it wouldn't be satisfying in any way, shape or form. For me it would be disgusting. And that's not to be read like me findig gays disgusting. Only to point out, I'm not born for it and that suggesting anything else is pure undiluted moronism.

It wouldn't satisfy me either. It would be no more or less disgusting that forcing myself to have sex with a woman I found highly unnattractive though.

There are certainly some hetero practices I find disgusting too. But, for example, I could never bring myself to kiss a man. It's just not in my genes and I extend the same courtesy to gays. Attraction is not a choice.

Well a guy kissed me once without me wanting him to, I found that slightly more unpleasant than I would if I forced myself to do the same: Either way the experience is yuck (luckily he didn't use tongues and the guy was actually a friend so I didn't feel intimidated just shocked and grossed out): But the point is that I would, once again, feel equal grossness if a woman I found highly unattractive had kissed me instead or I had forced myself to kiss a woman I found highly unattractive.

so we have different interpretations of a book that isnt even translated exactly from the original text well no reason we should question it

everyone should just be themselves and if God chooses to change a person then God will do that
although im sure drich would disagree that God can change people (or if they do change its the work of God if not its their fault for not having enough faith or rejecting God somehow )
