as larc's thread has mutated into the tired old nurture vs nature debate i thought i'd give a response to his question, which was how do you reconcile the bibles attittude to homosexuality and the living breathing reality of human beings.
i was at a recent screening of trembling before g-d, a documentary on homosexuals in the orthodox community who want to be practising homosexuals and still be accepted as part of the orthodox faith.
(my opinion is that they're wanting to have their cake and eat it but i was interested in the reasoning).

i have personally had experience with this.
a long time friend committed suicide because of her husband and the problems they were having.
he abused her and ended up leaving her, the elders wouldn't help out much stating that it was a marital problem.. she couldn't cope with him leaving, she was extremely dependant on him, she felt the only way out was suicide.
Proplog, is it beyond you to realize that depression is an illness? Do you not know that stress, and ill will can bring on depression?
It is not ''foolish behavior''. Depression IS NOT A BEHAVIOR PROBLEM!
Ya know what else? Mean people suck ! Your comments on this thread are mean, nasty, and devised to take your anger out on an innocent woman, who is already hurting. And you know it! There is no excuse for your stupidity.

does anyone want to bet that they'll be using this at the end of the a$$embly as a witness to how great and united they are?

Nothing more dangerous than pissing off several thousand catholic latinos!!!

Good Grief Hamas!!!!!
My monitor is smoking!!!!!
i posted a while back about a letter i'd sent in to my local paper.
i live in georgia and here in georgia it's illegal for stores to sell alcohol on sundays.
the law does allow for local gov'ts to permit restaurants to sell on sundays, provided that at least half their revenue comes from food sales.
Right on Bendrr!
That has always made me mad too. In Indiana, no alcohol sales on voting days, new years day or sundays. So lame.
What really is dumb, is that the ''exempt'' restaraunts become bars on Sundays. You can't take your kids to pizza hut on Sundays, because all the hard core drunks hang out there for the beer. We would all be better served (pardon the pun), drinking at home!
I find your argument sound, and long overdue!
