Parents may have a fable like the stork or under cabbage leaves but the problem is really parental discomfort not the child's ability to understand. Wiser parents may tell some but not all of the truth beginning with things like they grow in mommy's tummy and adding details as the child grows.What you have found is an exception to a given rule. (meaning you found an instance where someone lies to a child rather than speaking the truth, but on a simpler level..)
Your exception does not invalidate my analogy, because everyone even if they lie to a child does not give a child the same explaination as they would an adult with a sound mind.
Quote:But god appears to tell people absolutely opposing things.I think you are confusing what God says with what people say.
Quote: It's not a growing understanding, it's telling one person that his homosexuality is god's plan for him and that it's perfectly fine for him to marry his boyfriend, and telling another person that homosexuality is the worst of all sins ever under any circumstances. One of these persons is not talking to the same god. Their ability to comprehend has nothing to do with it. The truth of the matter is that people who consult god usually find that god agrees with them.That's the thing neither are true. Homosexuality is a sex based sin. No different than anyother sexed based sin. God only allows one pretext in which sex is not a sin and that is through a sanctified marriage. Marriage by god is defined between man and woman. that's it.
Anything added or taken from that is a work of man and his religion, and is not of God.
