Well the simple question is the one i already asked others then.In my opinion i feel that homosexuality is a choice.
Do you think that YOU personally can right now "choose" to actually love and enjoy (feel the desire) to have sex with someone of your own gender?
First of all you assume a design without arguing for it.Not only is it a choice but it is on that is unnatural to the person at hand to begin with. if you look at all creation you can see that all things are made in pairs, even plants. it is logical to then assume that the male and female were almost designed for each other.
Secondly the statement that all things are made in pairs (which you presumably took from the quran) is not correct.
Thirdly even if the things were made in pairs this doesnt mean its unnatural to be homosexual. Why would it?
There are however a lot of arguments against your idea.
If it is a matter of choice, then how come we find it in the animal kingdom which according to most scriptures do not have free will and choice?
According to that logic you just argued perfectly well why homosexuality could be natural. Well those people are simply born that wayPeople all over the world are born either left handed or right handed. Those that are left handed are less dexterous with their right hand and vice versa. Similary, people are born heterosexual. They are thus less inclined to the same sex.
I think you mix up the ability to do something (here learning to be bi-manual) with sexual preference. Nobody denies that homosexuals can have sex with members of the other sex. Physically this is of course possible.I remember that before my younger brother was sitting a very important exam, he had broken his writing hand (left hand) and thus could not write with it. In an effort to allow him to sit the exam without any disadvantage, we taught him how to use his right hand. Thus we trained him against his natural set up but non the less he was able to write very well with his right hand. Now he is bi-manual.
There is much evidence against your idea.Similarly homosexuals are born heterosexual. However, due to exterior influences they are entrained against their natural behavior. Once a person allows homosexual thoughts into their mind and does not reject them, slowly these influences will manifest in physiological instance of arousal and attraction to the same sex.
People gain their sexual preference way before getting into puperty.
Overall this sounds as if you are afraid it might infect you
Here i think you err again. Homosexuality is spoken about today, while in former times it was not.Homosexuality is at its peak today and in greater numbers than it has ever been.
There is no evidence to suggest it has actually increased.
As said before... its not a choice. Just ask yourself if you could choose and why you obviously dont choose to be homosexual.Gay individuals are shown to be great fun, good friends to women and more in touch with their feminine side and thus it is a more desirable lifestyle choice.
I think the last sentence here was the very point you should ponder about!If you think that homosexuality is not a manifestation of ill, unnatural thoughts and a lack of self control as well as a lack of control of ones desires then you must agree that being bisexual is also a natural way of life and not a choice. If you believe that being bisexual and being homosexual is not a choice then i ask you what about the paedophile? Does the paedophile not deserve any sympathy? he/she too must be one who has not chosen their way of life according to your way of thinking. Can paedophiles help what is sexually arousing to them? no they cant. the only difference is that children cannot consent to sex and there is the dilema.
There are no more risks in homosexual life than in a comparable heterosexual one.If these three were natural then let me ask you, why is it that there are so many health risks associated with homosexual intercourse, especially anal sex.
Anal sex is not limited to gay people you know.
