Hi there and welcome to the forum.

Well my first and most important question would be: What is your definition of god and Christianity, and what makes you think it has merit?

Thanks for the welcome, leo.

God is a word which in the Hebrew (variations of El) and Greek (theos) language mean "mighty" or "strong one." Anything and anyone can be a god. In the Bible the following are referred to as gods. Jehovah, Moses, the Judges of Israel, Satan, Jesus, Dagon, Baal, Molech, Tammuz etc. Sticks, stones, idols even ones own belly. Anything that is perceived as mighty or is venerated is a god.

Christianity is a supposed following of the teachings of Christ, though, as Paul foresaw in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 it has been corrupted by myth (from the Greek mythos and the Latin fabulas - fables) such as the pagan trinity, immortal soul, hellfire, cross, rapture, Christmas, Easter etc.

I am a non practicing homosexual

There is no such thing. If someone is straight and not dating anyone are they a non practicing heterosexual? I'm a bisexual and I currently am single, but I don't consider it non practicing I'm just single because I haven't found anyone I'm interested in boy or girl at this period in my life.

I actually find that statement offensive given it implies the arguments that Christian's give about homosexuality being a choice and that you can pray the gay away. If you're are homosexual then you are homosexual whether you are engaging in relationships or not.

Unless you think being a practicing homosexual means being flamboyant and out about, which is absurd.

Hello, Eilonnwy, thanks for your thoughts; I meant no offense. What I mean by non practicing homosexual is that I am homosexual. There is nothing I can or would do about that. It is a big part of who I am. I believe it is learned behavior. It means that I am gay but I don't practice as such. I don't have gay sex because I follow the Bible as a guide.

I have never heard anything about 'praying the gay way' but it sounds pretty stupid to me.
