Actually I can see (and have answered in post 2571) how marriage can help stop STDs so that one isn't quite so nonsense.
None of the gay people I know made a decision to be gay. Much like I didn't make a decision to be heterosexual or to like brunettes or whatever. As far as nature/nurture goes, nature seems to be winning as to why people are gay.
Maybe you can tell me because i dont know...ill be sure to ask God when i see him sometime in the near future....i mean i will ask him why did he create a human who likes to eat da poo poo
More interestingly, why did you edit out the comment about gay people?
And my answer is easy "Because he doesn't actually exist and your book is mostly nonsense"?
That is based on the incorrect assumption that people who are not yet married and having sex means that they are promiscuos and polygamous.
You seriously dont believe that to be the truth do you?
Most people these days enter a monogamous sexual relationship with one partner, but they do not marry for many many years later. Two of my friends have been together for over 7 years, even have a child, but have never married or even engaged.
Now if they were to get married, how does this alter their chances of getting STDs in anyway? Do you (or anyone else) view them to be promiscous whores because they have a child outside of marriage, but are still living as a family and raising the child together?
From what I were told, they are both bisexual atheists who do not believe in marriage, and completely refuse to have it, but they are monogamous.

Research confirms 'gay gene' discovery

more partners = more chance of std's
being unfaithful is usually against the rules of a marriage
No, it is based on the assumption that the more sexual partners you have the more chance there is of picking up an STD and so if you only had one sexual partner and they only have one sexual partner your chances drop significantly.
I have absolutely no information either way and so am not going to leap to unfounded conclusions. To do so would make me just as bad as those religious people you keep going on about...
Maybe the do, maybe they don't. I only have anecdotal evidence and we all know how reliable that is (i.e. It isnt at all) and most of my friends have had more than one sexual partner.
It doesn't alter their chances whatsoever. But as we are talking about generalisations rather than specifics if everyone waited until marriage until they had sex then the number of STDs would drop significantly.
Debatable to say the least.
Why?/..ermm because i wanted to??..didnt see the relevance of it in all honesty.
And my answer is just as easy "because he does exist and your arguements against the lack of God is mostly nonsense too"
But neither do you have solid proof scientifically or non scientifically to prove that God doesnt exist and neither do i have the proof that God exists. So lets not go there or else we will be here all day and night
....i know what io believe in and if you find that nonsense then fair enough...more partners = more chance of std's

People who are married still cheat plenty of times, again, being married or not being married has no correlation to whether someone will cheat or not.
Really it isn't. The weight of evidence seems to suggest nature rather than nurture.
How is that an answer to why God makes people gay?

Indeed, hence I am agnostic.
It isnt
Shame really, but there you go.
Not at all. I have been presented with a question to which I do not know the answer. Therefore rather than guess I have answered "I do not know." I would say that there is more than enough evidence to say that the more fundamental views of Christianity, Islam and Judaism are not true but that does not mean I can honestly say that there is no God or Godlike being in, what is, a very big universe. Religion interests me so I have taken some small effort to learn about numerous religions, past and present and none really seem to offer anything I could take as "The Truth".

Some seriously deluded god lovers on here, If I couldn't actually read it myself on here I'd think it was all a dream or more likely a nightmare, Walt Disney would be proud, lol
goody two shoes quotes from the bible & koran trying to prove one point or another but when an atheist posts the undesirable quotes from the same book it's not accepted with the usual blinkered answer.
Yes of course extremists pray & read their book just the same as the good guys, they will easily point out the permission to kill adulterers & non believers & therefore the justification their religion gives them to commit attrocities against others
Here's a thought - thinking of a major religion with an international leader only leaves the Queen or the Pope .
The Pope controls the lives of millions, he tells them they can't use contraceptives so millions of unwanted & starving children are born all over the 3rd world.
If the pope commanded all Catholics to drown themselves in the name of god then I have no doubt whatsoever that thousands would do it, so strong is their faith/fear of what would happen if they didn't obey

If I distorted or mis-quoted something Dawkins said, or some scientific fact, I wouldn't expect anyone to accept it.
The difference is, when it comes to the Bible, it's not just atheists mis-using it, there are plenty of religious people who mis-use it too.
Being religious doesn't mean I have to believe the Pope is anything more than a figurehead at the top of a powerful organisation, claiming to be worshippers of God but in many cases being ignorant of what that means.
Burden of proof lies equally on you.
You have zero evidence yet you state with certainty there is no god.
