I could easily replace 'thought process and belief' with the word religion. The issue is when your thought process or belief doesn't allow the presence of other thought processes and beliefs.
And thats the issue with half of the pro-religion comments on this thread. Its doesn't allow another belief and argues that my belief (religion) precludes the existence of anothers belief.
Think you're coming from a good place - but this is the real problem. To religious people, religion is a way of life. Cool with that. To alphabet people, its a way of life. Cool with that. As @alchemist noted, persecution leads to ideological fracturing which ultimately becomes us vs them. The colour of different beliefs in society makes it interesting. If we all believed the same thing - it just becomes one big circle jerk.
Does anyone actually beleive being homosexual is a choice though? As a red blooded hetro I cannot even think about being attracted to a bloke regardsless of how good looking he supposedly is. If you are straight how could you ever be aroused by another man? Please dont tell me that you can be converted because I dont believe it and therefore think you must be born that way and not converted.
If I am right that means its a genetic thing and not a choice like smoking, drinking or binge eating (all of which I have participated in..) and it was a choice on my part just like giving them up.
Seriously, anyone on here that thinks its a choice, consider for a moment about making that same choice?? There is no way in hell a straight bloke could go gay as he would be repulsed at the thought..
