Reply #15: Most People Of Faith Would Say ...

...God does not make mistakes.

Therefore if someone is born gay, then this is part of God's work. My church accepts gays as equals who should have all the rights as straight folks ~ including marriage, btw. We see gay folks as people who are just as much God's masterpieces, and we would feel it is blasphemy to say God made any mistake by creating someone who is gay!!! (United Church of Christ). Being gay is part of the Whole (universe) and is just as important as anyone or anything else in creation. It is presumptuous for a person of faith to take any other stand otherwise, because rejection of homosexuality in our world is in essence saying we are "smarter" than God. How hypocritical and not a good stance for a person of faith!

I am not saying that many especially evangelistic Christians see it that way, but if it were presented in this light, it should send away any sincere person of faith thinking hard about their faith and whether or not discrimination, rejection and/or hatred of gays is a godly thing to do.

My 2 cents
