My point is, that that study is bullshit because it's based on people and those people could be in denial about their orientation. Had I taken that study even just a couple years ago, I would've identified myself as straight because that's what I thought with strong conviction, that I should be. When your spiritual well-being ie: HELL, relies upon that answer--you'll answer based on what you should, not what you know is the real truth. I truly considered myself a huge sinner for having the thoughts I did, and I was ashamed of the true answer--thus, to be a good daughter of god I would do anything, including denying who I am.
I'm bi because I like men. I prefer men over women. I guess yes I would say my natural orientation was gay but due to social stigma I was forced into the opposite gender, and found that I liked it. People's attractions can change, but their natural predisposition never does. I am who I am, simply.
Mind you too, please. I said I didn't mind that he didn't kiss me, not that I was happy he didn't.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
