Again, you may hurl dinner, but would give advice to someone, even if you didn't know or care for them, if the advice could be life saving? That''s what I am doing. And I only speak for myself. I have tried to keep my posts informational and non-inflammatory.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPutting aside that religion has been at the root of almost every major war and is central to our current very fragile times, sin usually is considered a function of behavior. What one is born as generally doesn't qualify. One's sexuality is no different than being born male or female, white or black, with Downs Syndrome or without. Are we to believe that persons born homosexual are supposed to live as heterosexual, which is entirely apart from legitimate questions about whether individuals should be able to choose what they do as long as no one else is being fundamentally harmed?

WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam war, American Civil War, American Revolution, Russo Japanese War, Sino Soviet War, Napoleonic wars et. al. were not caused mainly by 'religion'. Nationalism, militarism, imperialism, alliances, borders, resources etc. cause more war.

Yes they are so tolerant....
“ Wiggins, a four-time All-American at Stanford, asserts she was targeted for harassment from the time she was drafted by Minnesota because she is heterosexual and a nationally popular figure, of whom many other players were jealous.
“ “Me being heterosexual and straight, and being vocal in my identity as a straight woman was huge,” Wiggins said. “I would say 98 percent of the women in the WNBA are gay women. It was a conformist type of place. There was a whole different set of rules they (the other players) could apply. […]
“ “People were deliberately trying to hurt me all of the time. I had never been called the B-word so many times in my life than I was in my rookie season. I’d never been thrown to the ground so much. The message was: ‘We want you to know we don’t like you.’” […]
“ “It comes to a point where you get compared so much to the men, you come to mirror the men,’ she said. “So many people think you have to look like a man, play like a man to get respect. I was the opposite. I was proud to a be a woman, and it didn’t fit well in that culture.”

Sounds like this one player had a tough time. What's your research from other sources. Maybe this one player had a tough time for a reason other than her sexual orientation?

Funny side story. A friend of mine quit her college softball team as it was so oppressive. The left fielder beat up the shortstop for cheating on her with the catcher.
It was funny to watch the fall-out.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou keep missing the point, which is not about who has suffered more, but rather how sinfulness could be attached to simply how someone is born. In most instances people are born into a sexuality as much as born into anything else. You don't choose to be born homosexual or with a congenital heart problem.
I doubt you are a geneticist, but just incase you are, explain to me how one identical twin can be straight and another gay. If it was genetically based as you suggest, it would be impossible for one identical twin to be gay and the otherr to be straight no?

Any parent can attest that kids manifest who they are from a very young age. Children in the same family, with almost identical upbringings and almost identical genetics or very similar genetics can be very different types of people, even identical twins.
Meet some identical twins. While they share incredible similarities, you will see that they are unique individuals.
