@Greatest- God is the author of Human's sinful nature? So God wants us to not follow his path? Sin is diametrically opposite to God's will, so how could he give us somethings he didn't possess ie. a sinful nature? Your arguement is illogical and unsupported scripturally. Obviously you don't believe in personal accountability or free will. Why you want A or B has nothing to do with personal accountability of free actions. I'm a father of 2 and I'd probably kill anyone who harmed them. Does that make me any different than a delusional murder? No, I kill he kills, killing is wrong. The killing is what's punishment worthy not the reasons of the individual. It may make a difference in our restitution, but it's not something that wouldn't make us "not guilty"
@frankiej- Was that towards me? If it was I have no idea what your talking about or what it has to do with this conversation. I understand the OP and topic were regarding gays and homophobia, which is why I suggested it get moved out of religion. Since it's here, I'm only participating because it's not taking a genetic, scientific or homosexual bent. To answer your question, no I don't feel homosexuality is a choice.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
