Abuse and cause many things but most lasting things on a mental stand point ( but I would sure be hestiant to say homosexuality is a mental disorder.) But it is possible.
Homosexuality is not a mental disorder, if you want to use a medical type term it is a relational emotional disorder.
Ok I can understand that but what i dont understand is this and maybe its because i'm not homsexual.
but I have Zip interest in the same sex..I can love females be friends but anythign else is umm.....icky to me.
Are homosexuals the same in that respect?
Because if heterosexuality was the moral wrong instead of homosexuality..I dont think I could marry the opposite sex much less actually have relations with them.
If your question is can gay men have intimate non-sexual relationships with other men the answer is of coarse. The best way to ruin a friendship is to get sex involved. Being gay is not being a sex-crazed machine. There are gay men and lesbian women who live for sexual experiences, but the same is true of straight men and women. The primary difference between gay and straight is sexual attractions, not basic human emotions and attitudes.
One does not develop gay desires overnight and one does not loose them overnight.
I will take your word for that one since I know nothing about what it is to go through becomeing a ex gay.
But I still belive homosexuality is there from the start in some people.
People believe what they want to. However, until you can show me empirical evidence that homosexuality is not psychological, environmental, and relational at its roots (as my personal research has shown, and is backed up by geneticists, even Dean Hamer) I suggest you research the issue and not base your beliefs on personal opinion.
It is the act of marriage or taking the vows that will eventually cause trouble since the relationship is then based on a legal commitment.
I agree and yet I disagree there.
Marriage as it stands intodays world is nothing more than a legal contract thats says you have to stay together or get punished basicly.
this view point has come around because of greed thats true everyone wants a fist full of the money or whatever else.
People get married because they percive they are in love.
And often times its not love its just plain old lust and the want to have something.
later on when the new shine wears off its not as good as they day dreamed it would be.
I have lived with the same guy for going on 5 years now.
We have a child and my child from my first marriage see's him as hr daddy and in truth her real father has never taken an interest.
Will we ever legaly get married?
Perhaps but as it stands there is no reason to we are handfasted which is the pagan marriage but the US does not see it as a legal and binding marriage.
Better check your state’s laws before you make this statement. Some states do not require a formal ceremony to constitute a legally binding marriage. In the State of Texas if a single man and women register at a hotel as man and wife they are legally married in the eyes of that state’s law. Any subsequent marriage could be considered polygamy unless the prior relationship is dissolved via a divorce.
We are simply missing out on some of the same rights as married couples such as health insurance which isnt a big deal I have mine he has his and it actually works out to be cheaper. Commitment is there reguardless of marriage..a slip of paper sure wouldnt keep me from leaveing if I wanted to.
Commitment however does and you dont need the standard marriage for that.
I would tend to agree with you, a ceremony does not make a lasting marriage. Commitment and mutual respect are a better foundation for a lasting marriage than physical attraction and emotion.
Being a Christian is a matter of facing reality and accepting Biblical truth not being perfect and judging those who are different.

I couldnt agree more
I understand this and Wiccan’s are not Satanist’s because they do not believe in God and Satan is His antithesis, which means Wiccan’s don’t believe Satan exists
Glad soemone does!..now if only I can get those other people to stop walking up to my children and being all upset because I'm raising my children to worship satan!...grr I just wanna toss them in a big pool of red kool aid and watch them try to scrub THAT outta thier self gloryfied cloths! I just wish they were taught better by the learders of thier faith..its sad but many are actaully taught that we worship satan which is a compleate and utter lie
And yet you label all Christian’s as hate mongers based on the actions of those who do not really practice Biblical Christianity? Is this not a bit hypocritical?
One last thing its rare for me to carry on a long and drawn out debate or discussion such as wel have in the last few days without them taking a crack and puting me down for my writing.
I know its most likley very difficult for you to read and I do wish to thank you for not makeing any cracks at me
Your quite welcome.
I surmised from one of your posts you might be dyslexic and I understand how difficult that can be since my youngest brother was dyslexic and suffered a lot of ridicule for his writing. In spite of this disability he was my most intelligent sibling, however, you had to talk to him to understand this as his writings did not convey his intelligence.
