I would like to preface this in saying this is coming from a Christian perspective.
Now that thats out of the way, I would say I have thought much of it recently. But then a striking revelation occured today. That is, the matter of whether its natural or of volition is irrelevant.
Because sin is genetic, in a sense in that it is passed on in humans, a supposed genetic abnormality that gives one more ropensiation towards homosexuality than another would be irrelevant because sin is already grandfathered.
Jesus is recorded saying

that it is better to go through life maimed than go to hell. It is customary of Christians to think of this as a euphamism, and not literal. Of course, if the right hand really did take on a life of its own and make you sin, it would be better for the Christian to literally cut off his own hand.
The same in the case of homosexuals, it would be better to castrate oneself than be a sodomite. That way those urges are no longer present.
But I bet upon hearing that most are going to chime in "omg lyke dats n0t fare" or something. Well, 1: the Bible doesnt guarantee that life would be fair and 2: life
ISNT fair.
I didnt choose to be white or have blonde hair any more than someone would choose to be straight. No one is born with a straight shot in life and one shouldnt gripe about it.
Discuss. I would be especially keen in listening to the opinions of fellow Christians, excluding trolls like SAMMY.
