Homosexuality in the eyes of God

To be honest I don't see enough proof to show 'God' even exists (Im agnostic). In my opinon there is nothing at all wrong with homosexuality, you don't choose who you fall in love with, it just happens. Beside being involved with the same gender doesn't harm anyone so I don't see why it's a sin, also if 'God' did exist and he thought homosexuality was a sin why did he let humans have the choice? Why didn't he just program there brains not to have such thoughts or feelings..after all he is ment to be omnipotent.

If you love someone should it really matter if the person is the same gender or not? I say no. I don't see why people have to make such a big deal over it.

Look up sex in the dictionary. (Everything I would say would be asteriked out if I just wrote it here.) It's impossible without 2 things. Otherwise, its not sex. So gay people can do whatever they want with eachother.

Now i know why its called sodomy
can you imagine if it were called Gommorahy

If he did exist he gave Human's free will that way people can choose the right path and be rewarded or choose the bad path and cause suffering =/
Being omnipotent has nothing to do with not being able to program brains I mean if he could create this whole universe and this race and everything pretty much I'm sure he could handle some brain control.
And people have opinions about homosexuality and I'd rather they had an opinion and said it than not say it but think it. I myself have no problem with Homosexuality.

Yeh but why bother? If killing and stealing and homosexuality etc... is sinful why give people the choice to do it? If you give people the choice how can you say weather its right or wrong? If something is wrong why give the them the choice to do it...If your giving them the choice how can they know if its wrong?

I'm not sure if I'm making sence or if what I'm trying to say is actually coming out right.... Meh >.<

Well life is only part of the 'process' and afterlife is a pretty big part of the process. And you can say if it's right or wrong because the right one will be the one that causes the least suffering,is the least selfish and other reasons like that. They are given the choice to do wrong so they know right from wrong and can repent or proceed to do wrong and pay in the afterlife. And they will know it's wrong because of the suffering caused in the future.

Yeh but how will they know what will happen in the future? How can they know that they're actions will cause suffering? If they just get given a choice without knowing the consiquences how can they know if it's right or wrong?

Okay I'm going to stop posting on here now else I'll be typing up the essays I did in 'R.S-Philosophy and Ethics'.... Which I don't really want to do lol...

Just to let people know I'm not against religion or anything, I just don't see enough proof so please don't start flaming me :).

Well, maybe it is a sin if you believe in God.

They won't know what exactly will happen in the future but if they think about decisions and which will cause more suffering through their own actions. Like I know that if I had an enemy for example I could talk it out with him or punch him and could hurt him, which is causing suffering where as talking is the correct method that won't cause suffering! I love Philosophy + Ethics,taking it as an A-Level in just about a months time but have already done some previous research;)

And proof isn't always needed but the Evolution theory is rather splendid ;p
