I do not agree with that. I think I could make the choice to be gay if I wanted to and I believe the same is true of all people if you are honest with yourself. It is a selfish choice and that is why it is a sin.

Homosexuality only satisfies on an individual level. Because they cannot have children they owe no responsibility to anyone but themselves.

Having a baby is complete selflessness. One must invest time and pain into raising a child and when a child is born that person becomes more important than the couples own lives.

If that were the cause then how is it that people can stop being gay? How do you alter a gene? It would be like me suddenly altering my genes to give me green eyes instead of blue.

So by your thinking, single people and infertile couples are selfish, sinners, and pedophiles becasue they can't have childeren.

You're missing the point. People can't stop being gay, they just lie to themselves so that they THINK they're straight, but they're not.

Lets get back to trying to answer the original question.

Let me ask this one question so we can establish where you are coming from.

Do you see your Homosexuality as a part of who you are are or as something you do?

Obviously infertile people have a medical problem so they are not making the choice to not reproduce. Most people aren't single forever. And if one chooses to be single and promiscuous then that is selfish. If one chooses to be single and abstinent then they are making a sacrifice that way and they are not being selfish. A gay person wants all the benefits of a lover without the responsibility that comes with they are like the single promiscuous person.

How do you know they cannot stop? It happens to be much like an addiction but they can stop if they so choose.

Because there is no future in a homosexual relationship. Family is future but gays cannot have that without ceasing to be gay.

Ok, so by your reasoning, nuns, monks, and preists are no better than gays because they don't get married and/or have childeren. Just becasue someone doesn't have childeren doesn't make that person a "sinner". Mother teresa never had childeren, and she's being considered for sainthood. You can affect the future without having childeren.

Monks, nuns and priests are not involved in sexual relations (at least they aren't supposed to be) this means that they are not just seeking out pleasure. Their future is in their religious commitment. Gays don't have that kind of responsibility.

So that means they are sinners? By this logic, anyone who uses birth controll, decides not to have kids, or is single is also a sinner. Just becasue someone isn't exactally like you doesn't make them any less of a person.

They are sinners because they are only devoted to themselves and refuse responsibility.

I have already addressed the issue of single people. They whole point of getting married is to have a family if you don't want kids than stay single and abstain from sex.

it's perfectly possible to be responsible without having childeren to oblige your god. if that wern't true, then there would be a much higher crime rate.

The crime rate is already ridiculously high. We live in a world where nine and ten year old beat people with lead pipes.

That doesn't make them gay.
