Let me just make this clear:
CHRISTIANS DONT HATE HOMOSEXUALS. THEY JUST DISAGREE WITH THEIR LIFESTYLE!!!
And I think it's easier to believe something's "not a choice" when you dont think homosexuality is a sin... if that makes sense... Basically, if you're "tempted" to be homosexual, you're more likely to believe it if you don't think it's a sin.

Yes, but NO ONE follows all of it! I mean there's some crazy stuff in there! And besides GOD didn't write it! Some old guys did, and they could have written their veiws. I mean Maria, it also says that woman aren't worthy, or something like that. So why don't we follow the "Men are better" rule? If we follow EVERYTHING the bible says?

a lot of those "crazy things" are things that made sense to the people Paul was writing to oh-so-many years ago. They were cultural things. First of all, Paul wrote to many groups of people, and some of those crazy rules were only for THOSE groups of people because that wast he best way for them to function back then when Christianity was new, but homosexuality was something that's been "against the rules" since the old testiment was written!
Yes, homosexuality is expressed as a sin in Romans, but here it is in the OLD Testament: Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
The first part of this verse is literally translated as "And with a male you shall not lay lyings of a woman"
God created sex for MAN AND WOMAN. "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"

I "loooooooooooove you" too, Tori...
but the "law" of "not shaving a nylon rug" is a LOT different than being homosexual. I think that sins are sins because of what they mean and how they're defying God, not just because God decided to make some rules for the fun of it.
Homosexuality is a sin BECAUSE God made sex as a gift between husband and wife, not because he just felt like it.

Actually, if her name was Raquandi I'd probably have to disown her
