jvernott, what was your point that jb proved? Yeash, we were talking about if a person is a homosexual if they exclusively have same-sex attractions but choose to not be sexually active.

jvernott2004, your response had nothing to do with what we are talking about.

jvernott, if a person simply said he has same-sex attractions, he would have been kicked out of the military. Or people may guess what his attractions are if he chooses not to join his heterosexual friends in picking up women at bars.

jvernott, what is the sexual orientation of a man who exclusively has same-sex attractions but who has never acted on them?

Up until December, the military defined a homosexual as someone who has same-sex attractions. Gays were kicked out simply for having same-sex attractions. There was no requirement that a gay had to have been sexually active to be kicked out of the military and lose their career. I guess I'm curious, for a teenager who is a virgin who has opposite-sex attractions, are you saying this teenager is...more

There's a lot of negativity going on around here. To bring things back to a Christ centered theme, a good new movie is coming out that celebrates the real meaning of Easter. Its called Hop. I know, its currently at 0% on rotten tomatoes. But it would still probably be worthwhile to go see the movie, because after all, it will teach children about the true meaning of Easter.

Obviously someone thinks that you can only be a homosexual if you engage in same-sex behavior. So for your Christian virginal teenagers, since they aren't having sex, I guess this also means that they are NOT heterosexual, right?

To be an adulterer, you need to have sex outside your marriage. To be a liar, you need to lie, to murder you need to murder, and so on. All of these require that the individual perform an action. However, to be a homosexual does not require being sexually active. Having same-sex attractions makes a person a homosexual, not engaging in sexual behavior.

Are you talking about something Dennis Prager said?

Some claim you can't be a homosexual and be a Christian. You know, there are some homosexuals who choose to refrain from sexual behavior. Just like some heterosexuals choose not to be sexually active. Still think you can't be a homosexual and a Christian?

Clover, I didn't know that this website was only for the anti-homosexual crowd.

Clover001, is insulting others just part of your nature? I thought that your faith was supposed to help, not hurt your character. I'm assuming even if it has not helped you, its helped others. Keep working at it.

I like your argument on that.

You're sweet. Are you going to see the movie Hop? It looks sooo cute but I have a feeling its going to get bad reviews.

I've always wondered if irrational religious beliefs could be considered mental illness.

I believe you should check with the American Psychological Association about this. Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, it is a philia. You are reporting something to try to prove your point that came from LifeSiteNews.com. Ha Ha Ha Ha.

What a convoluted argument. Well, I suppose, some children are born blind and deaf. I guess they also are born the same way as a pedophile. Thanks dgeter for clearing things up with your wonderful argument.

It just sunk in. You are reporting something to try to prove your point that came from LifeSiteNews.com. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
