Anecdotal Recollections

My wife tells me that homosexuality should make the darwinist's happy. It's survival of the fittest being that they can't reproduce, they will eventually go away as the weaker species. That would be true if it were a genetic mutation or something along those lines. However, it is a choice. Regardless of how you slice it, it's a choice. One can look at the natual world around you and see that through the course of natual events, sexual relations are between male and female for the purpose of procreation. It just so happens that it is extremely enjoyable and human practice recreationally as well. Given that you see it happens between male and female, you still feel attracted to the same sex, you are faced with a choice: do you act on your feeling, or do you act on what you see around you... there's your choice.

Now I know that I'm going to have you nut jobs like my inlaws who say "homosexuality occurs in animals all the time so that makes it right", incest occurs in animals too. Does that make it right?

The exploration and evolution of the libido is a confusing experience for everyone. No two people can talk about this subject and actually understand what the other person is talking about.

I'm sorry, but I question the applicability of your evidence.

Quote:

These circumstances made me a magnet for manipulation so at the age of 13 an older boy in my church sexually molested me. The feelings in my heart became a vortex of battling conflicts. I hated his touch and I longed for his touch. I hated liking his attention and I hated not having his attention.
Over the next three years, I was forced to bear "Ray's" relentless obsession with me. Thankfully, we never had sex. When I finally left the church in disgust, I left home and plunged headlong into the gay lifestyle. The sight of men dancing with each other and publicly kissing made me feel so good. I felt like I was finally in a place where I belonged.

In 1980, my first year of college I dove headlong into homosexuality and all it had to offer. I was new on the gay scene; soon everyone was asking who I was and who I was dating. I went to house parties, orgies, got hooked on "poppers" and started drinking. I was like a kid in a candy store with no parents around!

In 1982, I hid my homosexuality so I could join the Army. I traveled all over the world and everywhere I could always find another man to have sex with. I went through periods of deep depression, when I felt so lonely I wanted to die. When I came out of my depression, I had to have sex to make me feel powerful and secure. I developed a hard attitude toward others, even my lovers. People existed to give me pleasure; when I was finished, I simply discarded them.
At the height of my life as a gay man I felt invincible! No one could stop me, not even God. "I don't care if I go to hell!" I told God when I felt convicted about my sexuality. But I was still unhappy and unfulfilled. Thoughts tormented me that I now believe came from satan: You can find sex partners anytime you want, but none of them love you. It was an attempt to push me further along the path of self destruction. After years of homosexual sex in all its devaluing forms, I still felt unloved and worthless.
That was over 14 years ago. Of course, there were many issues to confront as I started down the road to total healing. Healing was and is a process that I embrace with all my heart. God directed me to a church, where I stayed for five years, rising to become second assistant pastor.
I was moving away from the residual issues of anger, hatred, and improper sexual passions. Yet I still had to deal with new challenges. Would I be accepted in the church? Would the men sense my homosexual past? Was I really free?
Over the next few years, God proved his faithfulness by allowing me to build healthy relationships with godly men who loved me without prejudice. They didn't realize it, but God was using them to heal me of feelings of self-worthlessness.
Eventually, I met a young woman who had begun attending the same church and we became friends. Over the next year, God confirmed in many ways that we belonged together. My passions changed and I knew God had created me to love a woman, not a man. Before I proposed to Dee, I told her about my past. "Honey" she responded, "if God has forgiven you, so do I." We were married and began our life together. Today, almost 12 years later that woman, Dee— is still my wife, and is still the most beautiful woman in the world. She’s the mother of my four children and the love of my life.

Jeffrey Curley-Age 10 when he was targetted and lured away from his front yard at his home by two practicing homosexual men who then brutally raped and killed him. They put a gasoline soaked rag in his mouth to keep him quiet. That was after they forced him to watch the NAMBLA web site of men having sex with little boys. He died from asphixiation. They also brutally raped him. His parents tried to sue NAMBLA but the ACLU was too much for them.

May 29, 2008

Allen's parents, Joe and Marion, founded Hope for the Broken Heart after his tragic murder at the hands of his gay lover. They have spoken at Exodus International events.

When Bart was struggling with unwanted homosexual feelings, he sought out a counselor for help. The counselor, however, told him he was born gay. According to Joe and Marion, "When Bart came out of her office, he looked like he had been given a death sentence. I know this lady did not realize what she was doing ... but she had told him he was born gay. She told him we were doing him an injustice by telling him this was wrong and he needed to go back [to the homosexual lifestyle].

Bart Allen did go back to homosexuality , but he couldn't accept it. His lover, however, refused to accept the fact that Bart wanted to leave homosexuality behind. While Bart was asleep, his partner strangled him to death with a dog leash.

Stephen Black- Harssement for being an EX-GAY.
Stephen is an Oklahoman who has struggled with unwanted SSA. He doesn't like referring to himself as "ex-gay" but he confirms that there is growing evidence of widespread harassment of individuals who openly reject a gay identity.

Jesse Dirkhising story at: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar ...TICLE_ID=29026 To brutal to tell you..read it for yourself. 13 yo boy bound, drugged and gagged and used as a sex toy for five long hours until he eventually died. The men who killed him said they did nothing wrong because they burned candles and played soothing music and it was all a love scene and they meant no harm. Too late for Jesse but not too late for other boys in this country!

And the story of Mary Stachowicz:
By Barbara Kralis

Mary Stachowicz was willing to, and did, catechize the Word of God and she was brutally murdered for her beliefs. The hate crime was committed on November l3, 2002, the feast day of St. Frances Cabrini, virgin, first U.S. saint to be canonized.

Mary, the gentle, devout 51 year old Catholic mother of four asked a Chicago homosexual man, Nicholas Gutierrez, 19, "Why do you want to have sex with boys instead of girls?" Gutierrez said she began to counsel him about his lack of good direction in life.

The disordered Gutierrez confessed to the crime during a videotaped interrogation and explained he became furious when Stachowicz asked him the question. He then brutally punched and kicked Mary until he was exhausted; next, he mutilated her body with multiple stab wounds.

While Mary was still alive, he shoved a garbage bag over her head, strangled her, and jammed her body into the crawl space under the floor of his Chicago apartment, which was above at the Sikorski Funeral Home where they both worked. The Funeral Home is right across the street from Mary's parish, where moments before she had received Holy Communion. Her mutilated body was discovered three days after she was slaughtered.

Mrs. Mary Stachowicz, a Polish translator, was witnessing her well-formed Catholic conscience and was murdered for it. She performed the appropriate Spiritual Work of Mercy...instruct the ignorant, admonish the sinner.

This is supposed to be a rational debate about "nature vs nuture" in regard to homosexuality .

You are claiming that nature has made people homosexual. Science is the proper method for explaining the natural world. Using annecdotal recollections as an argument should immediately disqualify you as an expert. This argument hurts your cause. You should be embarrassed to have posted this.
