The statistics for how many gay people there are in the world are not accurate, in my humble opinion, because there are so many people in the closet. Look at the Mayor of Portland. He voted on every anti-gay initiative that was put in front of him (this is when he was in the state legislature) and now we find out he is gay. I find there is a lot of hypocracy out there.
I do repect your conservative, religious views on bisexuality and homosexuality, though I do not agree with them. I prefer to think of God as being inclusive and loving. I find the God in the Bible to be full of himself, demanding to be worshipped all the time. Why does He need this constant worship? He sounds like an egomaniac to me. What kind of God would send gay people, which he is supposed to have created, straight to hell? He doesn't sound like a very compassionate God to me. What kind of God whould ask Abraham to kill his own son, then say to Abraham at the last minute, I am just kidding, it was just a test? Sounds like a cruel God to me. What kind of God would kill millions of people with earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, volcanos, starvation, AIDS, cancer, MS? Why would God let a child die? When and if that child goes to heaven does he/she ever grow up? How many people can fit into heaven? If your are married and widowed two times, and both of your spouses have died and gone to heaven, who do you get to spend eternity with. It says in the Bible that God has mansions waiting for Christians filled with treasure. Who needs treasure in heaven? Who needs gold in heaven? I thought we were not to be concerned with material things. Maybe this is some sort of symbolic reference. If so, what in the Bible can we take literally, and what is fact?
I always here Christians say you must have faith. I guess I am more skeptical than some, but I want some evidence that is tangible.
Please help me see the what you Christians see. Help me see howe God is making our planet a better place. Give me examples of God's grace and love that are here on Earth. Please don't just quote scripture, because that scripture was written by men not God. I desperately want to believe in God. I do see some spectacular beauty in this universe, and while my head tells me it was created by evolution, my heart thinks that this all cannot be an accident.
I am sorry to ramble on, so I will stop for now. I really am searching for answers, and I hope I have not affended anyone with this rant. I just have so many unanswered questions.
I with you all well.

Bisexuality is a complicated issue. I was with woman for many years and have a beautiful daughter who is 14 now. I am now with a man that I have been with for over 8 years. I still find women attractive, but I am in a committed relationship with my partner. I guess I feel like you fall in love with a person not body parts.
