Uproar over Mormon anti-gay remarks

[Ashendant]

I heard on the radio as I was waking up this morning that gay rights groups were outraged over anti gay remarks by a leader in the Mormon Church. What struck me was the nature of his comments. It was something along the lines of:

"There are those who say homosexuality isn't a choice, that the traits are inborn. Not so. Why would God do that?"

My thought was, "That's not offensive. That's a great question."

(I'll update this post when I have a link to some sort of article)

And so I come back to the topic of moderate Christianity, one that is compatible with science and modern concepts of civil rights. Bad news Christians: It doesn't exist as a viable theological stance. The Bible says what it says, end of story. Either evolution is a lie and homosexuality is a choice and all science that says otherwise is a plot by the devil -or- the Bible is bullshit. There is no third option.

The only offensive thing about this Mormon leader is that he believes in Mormonism.

Well i choose the third option

To me there doesn't exist homosexuality or heterosexuality, or other variations of prefix-sexuality, what exists is philias, sex on evolution seemed to promote pleasure as a reward for breeding, because without a reward what would the action worth for, however the system is badly designed, instead of rewarding for the act of breeding it rewards sexual acts, and yes there is a choice in which philias you can choose to follow or grow in you.

evolution is not perfect, it's filled with very basic mistakes that a sapient deity wouldn't do, to me it's either choice of which philias to follow or social bias that says you can't be one or another

I should probably put that in better words
