Homosexuality is a ChoiceHomosexuality is a ChoiceA guy may be born effeminate (i.e. with excess estrogen) and a woman with excess testerone that predispose them to act more feminine or masculine, (both of which can be corrected by intake of the appropriate hormones if so required), but homosexuality is learned behaviour and the choice to be homosexual is conscious and deliberate. Girls that are masculine are termed Tomboys and boys that are effeminate are called Sissies, but most of us outgrow these tendencies caused by excesses of opposing hormones as we reach puberty and beyond. As babies/infants some children display their sexual consciousness by touching themselves in what we deem inappropriate areas, and adults have the capacity to make choices to deter them from continuing. Gender direction is practiced to encourage children to lean towards their own gender, but the fact that a girl likes playing with train sets or a boy with dolls does not automatically mean they have homosexual tendencies. They simply just LIKE those toys. Children in puberty as teenagers again discover their sexuality and this sexual consciousness can go either way based on what circumstances they are exposed to. A child not well informed can learn from her/his peers and in exploration can easily be misguided. Situational choices that cause girls and boys or young women and men to be boarded together either in high school, military bases, etc. sometimes hinder and change their sexual preferences because of the choices available to them; and sometimes people who explore and have enjoyed their newly found experiences decide to continue in that path. Some then choose to camouflage their dual tendencies by having relationships with, and sometimes even marrying people of their opposite sex (i.e. the closet bisexuals and homosexuals); while some have sufficient confidence to accept that they do indeed enjoy certain sexual activities more than others and declare their sexual preferences and choices as thus (gay men and lesbians). The fact that the anal canal has sensitive nerves do not mean it was designed for sexual intercourse (regardless of the genders involved). There are other more or equally sensitive body parts in the human anatomy, but individual choices are made as to what we choose to do with them. Like someone once said even animals do not mate with same sex animals. People for whatever reasons make conscious decisions to partake in homosexual activities, and even if the initial act was unsought (such as through sodomy, rape, coercion, intimidation, manipulation or just plain simple experiment, etc.) they are solely responsible for choosing to continue along that path. The fact that you find same gender people attractive does not mean you 'want to' or 'have to' explore that attraction. The fact that one CHOOSES to engage in intimate sexual relationships with people of the same gender is thus a conscious decision. No proven medical evidence presently exists to state otherwise.
Someone stated that "There are homosexuals in Nigeria and the white man didn't create them." Is this a known fact, or a perceived opinion? Also asked was "Don't you think that when you embrace a lifestyle, you are embracing the "beliefs and morality" that go with it?" Considering the Caucasians man played a long and active role in the colonization of Nigeria, who is to say the acts and deeds that occurred during that period? You may never be too sure, unless the research is done to rule that possibility out. Why should it be so far-fetched as a possibility considering some people of predominantly one race are also known to partake in bestiality? Makes you wonder how aids first discovered in the U.S. migrated all the way to Africa to affect a monkey, and then begin spreading to humans in Africa. Aids is not airborne as has been proven, so though we may all wish to keep mum as to how it got transferred to a monkey and ultimately to other humans one can only wonder. hmmmmmm!!! Considering not all so-called foreigners that claim to go on missionary pilgrimages to the interior regions of Africa, actually carry out their stated missions, (some are predators and pedophiles), one can only wonder how many sodomized boys turned gay in Africa due to their early-life experiences. hmmmm!!! Accordingly, one has to wonder why the incidents of aids seem more prevalent in these same interior regions. Lack of education about the use of condoms for safe protection can't be the only reason the numbers are so high, considering these same people had sexual encounters unprotected before the flood of aids. If not for the advent of the information age, would we even hear, let alone know of the ongoings of these types of incidents. Just wondering aloud. It's good to be open-minded 'cos life is full of possibilities. hmmmmm!!!!!!!!!! I believe God made woman for man and not any of the other variations that are out there. For whatever reasons anyone chooses a sexual lifestyle that is beneficial to them, that is their personal choice, and we leave God to be the judge. But at the same time I don't appreciate anyone's sexual antics (straight or homosexual) being put in my face. ]While everyone has a right to be respected for their sexual choices, they should not air it out in public if they do not want to experience the public's reactions and feedback. Also, we should NOT confuse civil rights with social rights. Some issues belong solely behind closed doors. From the religious standpoint YES, God does condemn homosexuality and that is why he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. From the biological standpoint the male and female organs were created to accommodate one another. From the social standpoint people knew it was morally unacceptable and that was the reason why people who practiced homosexuality and bisexuality hid their acts in the closet until it became politically correct and acceptable to do otherwise. From the politically correct standpoint you can do it with the same sex, children, the elderly/handicapped in nursing homes, your best friend/neighbour's spouse, animals, the dead, inanimate objects, electrical devices, vegetables, etc. This court has no earthly judge, anything goes. People have a tendency to accept and eventually conform to attitudes in their faces daily (except they are disciplined enough) so for those who think such acts do not affect society, so 'why make a fuss about it?', it's worthy of thought. Recently, it was revealed that kids in 10th grades are openly having oral sex and see nothing wrong with it. Those willing to talk about it said they learnt about it from their peers, and that was the in-thing. Some even referred to reasoning based on the exposed acts of the past leader of the U.S. and attitudes that prevailed in society thereafter. This obviously is a learned behaviour, and to put it bluntly, no one was born with a sexual organ in their mouth, neither was anyone born with something stuck up their behind. In answer to comments previously made regarding homosexuality not originating from the U.S. (which is not what I stated), I may concur (since I have no evidence to prove or disprove this); but my point was that the West, moreso the U.S. is leading the world in the ACCEPTANCES of previously immoral and other such deemed acts. A lot of stuff that the U.S. media is transmits worldwide would probably never be transmitted as local productions in many countries worldwide. Also, while I remember, I neither said nor inferred that Nigeria should censor its TV shows to block out acts they deemed immoral emanating from the U.S. What I said was that some countries presently do, and I only asked questions as to how we could tackle the influx of material we may deem inappropriate for our children. With all the uproars about marriage between people of the same sex, we all know that legally marriage is defined as a union between man and woman, but in this politically correct age, in order not to offend others, we condone acts that we otherwise wouldn't. There are all kinds of suggestions out there, but has anyone thought about the effect of legalized same sex marriages on society in terms of TAXES. Couples pay significantly less than singles and should this pass, who's going to be left holding the bucket. Someone would have to make up the Tax-shortage, in order to keep Unc. Sam happy and eventually reduce America's deficits. We should all try to think outside the box, and not just get caught in social hooplas. Presently, availability of affordable insurance is rapidly being eradicated. Grocery workers in California just ended a 5 month strike to assure they would have affordable insurance. With insurance companies always redefining what is acceptable, high risk, etc., who would be left substituting resulting higher insurance premiums, so the insurance companies can still laugh all the way to the bank. Sometimes, life just ain't fair and sometimes we have to pay for repercussions of the choices we make or help make, so before we make this a sentimental issue, we need to weigh all the related issues as to how it would in fact affect society at large, either directly, indirectly or residually. Cxsm 5th Feb. 04 © Cxsm 2004 All Rights Reserved The subject of homosexuality is also covered in the New Testament in Romans 1:24-27, apart from in Levicticus 18:22 and Lev. 20:13. |

Dear Sam and Abe,
Thanks for articulating the truths from fantasy. Man in his quest to be tolerant and politically correct has adapted a stance of embracing acts that are not only immoral but an abomination. I'm mainly addressing those of the Christian faith who consider themselves true Christians, but selectively practice Christianity by going against the very foundation of Christianity. Some in not being well versed have even tried to excuse the act of immorality by stating that the verses you cited Romans 1:24-27 were simply Paul's opinion, but they seem to forget that most of the issues deemed important and cited in the New testament are clearly done so to reiterate previous issues in the old testament. So for those who still need proof that the act of homosexuality was clearly defined as an abomination in the old testament, refer to Levicticus 20:13 "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination." and Lev. 18:22 "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." In these verses these were laws given to Moses directly by God, and not simply opinions, advices or suggestions by Moses. There are indeed clear distinctions between laws of morality and laws of the land (or man-made laws) and each carries a price or punishment. The fact that men no longer actively dish out the punishments suggested for some acts of immorality does NOT in any way change the fact that they are acts of immorality. In the past sodomy was deemed a punishable act, but that is mostly no longer the case, but those acts that society still deem punishable such as child molestation, etc. still carry a price tag. Yes, none of us can cast the 1st stone, but it does not excuse the fact that it is inappropriate that the 'church' which is supposed to be a pinnacle of morality and correction in society is the same one that endorses a homosexual man as a Bishop. It is sad enough that immoral acts have been covered up by men of clothe for several years. There is a major difference between enlightenment and tolerance, and when tolerance is carried to exceptional heights in order to remain politically correct, it leads to apathy and self-destruction. After all there are some groups as the sisters of Jezebel, etc., who seek to initiate others into their circle of immorality, as there are some Catholic and other men of robe and/or authority who take advantage of young boys unable to defend themselves against those who have chosen this alternate lifestyle. This is not to say we should not tolerate and respect our human counterparts who choose to partake in acts and lifestyles they deem appropriate to them, but it also does not automatically translate into our not being able to speak out the truth (as Christians or men of any faith), regarding acts of immorality. We can love our fellow beings without necessarily condoning their acts, or letting it eradicate the principles on which Christianity was founded. When acts of sodomy were written into the laws of America for instance, it wasn't simply because all Americans were Christians, but the knowledge that it is 'an unnatural act and an abomination', as is sleeping with animals, sleeping with children, etc., influenced their being written into law. That is the reason people who participated in such acts were ostracized from society. The fact that we tolerate and respect our fellowbeings and their choices also does not mean should we have to tolerate having people's sexual choices thrown in our faces when there are more important issues to contend with in society. As Abe said it finely "One does not have to be a Christian to appreciate the fine counsels from the scriptures. Anyone with a true traditional value in any given society upholds moral integrity."

I am in the civil rights field. That doesn't mean I should fight for the rights of peverts. I hope no one would want us in the field of civil rights to start arguing that because a murder holds that he was born with murderous tendencies, he should not be locked up when he commits a murder. Or the most common crime, adultery. Should we say anadulter should not be punished for his adulterous crime? Homosexualism is a perversion of the mind just as murder, robbery, cheating, etc., are. Race, gender, color, etc. are not chosen by the individual. You are just born a woman, white, Indian, British or Congolese. You cannot ever deny that. You may pretend as some of us have done by taking up U.S. citizenship. Look at even the so-called white americans. They still think in terms of "we are Irish, Italians, etc. You can't say an Irish has a perverted mind because he is an Irish but once he decides to start behaving abnormally, such as, becoming a homosexual, that becomes a perversion. All we human rights advocates can do is to fight that they be treated from their perversion, i.e. be treated freely and be accepted as normal people when they receive treatment and trun from their abnormal ways. Homosexuallism is truly a choice and a sinful one too! Peter |
