Fucking stupid. I am still waiting for you to even explain why you think this is an anti Christian thread. A Christian leader reaching out to those who have been treated in a less than Christ like manner isn't anti Christian. And to top it off you went full retard on Muslims. Like I said earlier the advasary is hard at work in your soul and you don't even know it.

Oh bullshit, the OP is baiting people into another christian vs. anti-christian thread.

This is an anti-Christian thread and just look at the OP. He is an anti-Christian bigot who has to attack Christians on an internet forum because he is too scared to say it directly.
 
If science can lead to a prevention of gay offspring, should it? Does a gay person really want to be gay? In 100 years or less, I highly suspect that parents will have the ability to control the sexuality of their children.

Gayness may not be in our genes, but in the molecules that regulate them. New research suggests that epigenetic factors -- chemical "switches" attached to genes that turn them on or off -- are a more plausible heritable mechanism behind homosexuality than DNA itself.
Non-genetic changes to gene expression are called epi-marks, for epigenetics, the field of research dealing with the molecular on/off switches. Epi-marks are normally erased between generations, but there's recent evidence that they're sometimes passed from parent to child.
Researchers at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) looked at how epi-marks that influence testosterone sensitivity in the womb might contribute to homosexuality. Late in pregnancy, natural variations in testosterone levels can alter a fetus' sexual development. Sex-specific epi-marks protect female fetuses from masculinization in the presence of too much testosterone; boys are protected from feminization if too little testosterone is present.
According to computer modeling by the group, testosterone-buffering epi-marks passed from a parent to an opposite-sex offspring may result in the reverse effect: Girls who inherit sex-specific instructions from their fathers will be partially masculinized, while boys who get epi-marks from their mothers will be partially feminized. In this model, homosexuality occurs when stronger-than-average epi-marks influencing sexual preference from an opposite-sex parent escape erasure and are then paired with weaker-than-average sex-specific epi-marks produced in opposite-sex offspring.
The model suggests that sex-specific epi-marks have survived because they're highly beneficial for parents' fitness and are only infrequently passed on to offspring, where they may reduce reproductive fitness.
"The study provides a very interesting, but as yet untested, genetic mechanism for the evolutionary maintenance of human homosexuality," says Nathan Bailey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of St Andrews in Scotland who was not involved in the research. "We are going to have to wait until more evidence is in, but I do think it would be exciting to know whether epi-marks contribute to the expression of sexual orientation in humans."

Your going to find it hard to find people on here who understand epigenetics. It's more and more surprising how much our gene regulation is controlled by epigentic modifications such as histones.

Would you consider this guy a true follower of Jesus' teachings if he's going around apologizing to gays?

Entirely.

I think he makes a pretty eloquent point here:
But, he says, even those who believe homosexuality is a sin could still agree that the church has treated gay people badly over the centuries -- including "demonizing people's character and intentions."

Of course... we don't want anyone to be "invalid"

I am not mad but confused. The OP only does this to Christians because he is an anti-Christian bigot and not other religions.

OP posted a link to story.....still waiting to see what specific anti-Christian position the OP took in this thread.

So on topic, because if you've ever answered I missed it. Do you think what the pastor in Canada did was wrong? Asking you that question isn't Christian bashing so don't go there. I'm asking you for an opinion.

Every insult you have for other members of this site can be easily applied to yourself.

Especially since incorruptible frequently resorts to "I know you are but what am I" kinds of comebacks.

Phokus and Incorruptible just need to admit their dirty love for each other and get it over with.

If people are going to resort to insults because they have lost the debate then I am going to take their insult and throw it right back at them and not waste my time.

You start the insults just as frequently as people insult you to begin with. You have done it so many times you don't even realize you do it. People treat you with the level of respect you give them and frequently you don't show any respect so why would you expect the same in return?

Also how about you take a position on the OP's original question?

You are actually the one who starts to throw the insults and get all angsty when people don't agree with you.

Then, you tell that fabolous lie to everyone that you are actually a master debater in real life and frequently engage in intense intellectual debates with like minds in real life.
