RCC CALLS HOMOSEXUALITY [SSM] EVIL

This is just another reason that the RCC is not for me.

To consider a biological condition to be "evil" is hateful. [See prior posts.]

I have never met a "heterosexual" (or straight) male that suggests that his own sexual orientation is a choice; probably because doing so would be to admit that he "could" have a relationship with a man. But this same person, for some reason, does generally consider homosexuality a "choice." This appears to be a real double standard to me.

Think about it. If you are a heterosexual male, and say that you could never choose to be in a relationship with another man, then your current preference is not a conscious choice. It is a biological condition generally determined by the time of your birth. This does not change just because you are gay.

From everything that I have read, not to mention from my own personal experiences, I have every reason to think that one's sexual orientation is the result of biology most of the time. Sure, in a very few instances, this orientation might be the result of a repetitive childhood trauma that has effectively removed the choice from one's conscious.

Either way, it is not a "conscious" choice. I know it is not a choice for me; so why should I presume that it is for someone that is different than me?

Nature does have deviations. Just as some people are color blind, left handed, etc., it should be expected that a portion of the population will be born with characteristics that are not the "norm." This does not make such evil, as such occurrences are completely natural.
