Well with regards to this issue, I think the Bible is clear. From the beginning we see God's plan for marriage as that which is between a man and a woman. Jesus confirmed this and so did the apostle Paul as well as the other apostles. I.e. a monogamous heterosexual union.
Then why doesn't god "take it away" from them. I don't buy into the whole arguement that it's a choice, and humanity got corrupted, etc. There are christians who pray for years for god to help them overcome homosexuality, but NOTHING. I don't buy into this bullshit of the bible. Jugdemental and arrogant. I too was a born again christian until recently, by the way.
Sex was a big issue for me, as a christian, and it took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that it's okay to actually feel good about it. If christianity is such a wonderful thing, why do so many of us turn away, disgusted? All it does, is make humanity feel ashamed, guilty and never good enough. How does that help your self esteem? I can only feel good about myself because some other "dude" lives in me?
