Confused 15 year old guy....
It may be a passing phase, or it may not be. If it's not, what can you do but accept it?
On another forum, F22Fighter came to realize, after doing some Web research, that there is good scientific evidence that homosexuality may be something that one is born with (genetics, influence of hormones during gestation, whatever), at least for some people. That may have no relevance to the original poster's situation, though.
Let's tell it like it is, Steve. First off, that research was on THIS thread. Secondly, no research conclusively shows that it is affected by genetics at all. I do believe that it can be, but ultimately, a lot of people choose it when not affected genetically and then just get really confused. It's something our society has almost started to push on people. If you'll look at the research given, it shows that while there's a possibility that some are affected by genetic chemical imbalance (they're not sure if it's likely yet, I'd say it's likely but not as common as most would think) that even though some have chemical influences, most choose or feel obligated/misled based on how and where they were raised and certain circumstances in their lives. However, just because I said it's a possibility that a handful of people are affected by chemical imbalances, that in no way means I'm condoning it. Again, it's a person's own choice, not mine, BUT research also shows that it's harmful to society when chosen (in other words, if one defines 'immoral' as something dangerous to themselves or society, then by looser, worldly standards that are not even my own, homosexuality is still immoral. I can show that without bringing in any christian doctrine or biblical standards.) Yes, Last, and others, I compared it using society's standards to an abusive family, and if you actually READ what I said, it's perfectly justified as having the same base cause (chemical imbalance, or a cross between that and circumstances and experience/choice) and just as dangerous as an effect.Oh, one more thing. "Came to realize"???? I don't believe I ever said anything different than what I've been saying.

In reply to:that research was on THIS threadI read your posting on a Proboards forum.In reply to:a lot of people choose itHow in the world do you know this? For the scientists, the jury is still out.In reply to:research also shows that it's harmful to society when chosenPoint me to the non-Christian research. And you used the word "chosen". Is it harmful to society when it's not chosen, but just is?In reply to:homosexuality is still immoralDo you mean immoral as distinct from what the bible teaches?In reply to:"Came to realize"???? I don't believe I ever said anything different than what I've been saying.From the biasedreporter.proboards42.com forum:In reply to:I research before I make claims.In reply to:Homosexuality is a choice...OK, show us your non-bible-oriented research.In reply to:HOWEVER, the fact that you can't understand that Jesus said homosexuality is bad is amazing, and doesn't say much for your ability to think through things.Sorry, I couldn't help throwing that in. I thought Jesus was OK with eating pork and men lying down together.In reply to:There's a new study out that I'm currently looking into shown athttp://my.webmd.com/content/article/100/105486.htmIt supports that there could be several genetic regions linked to sexual preference.OK, so say it IS shown that certain regions in genes influence one towards homosexuality. That doesn't mean it's no longer a morality issue. Some people are born with certain codes in their genes that lead them to be angrier people and more abusive, born with certain personality disorders and such. Does that mean that it should be allowed for them to be abusive and angry, and that we're wrong to put them in counseling to assist them in living a normal lifestyle?OK, so it looks like, on January 31st, you had an epiphany. But you're still defining homsexuality as being a personality disorder. The problem with being docrinaire is that one starts thinking that everyone who believes other than he does has a personality disorder. Maybe such people should be put in gulags. Maybe as an 18-year-old attending a vocational school, you can counsel the evil out of such people.Or maybe they should just be left in peace.
