Gah, forget everything I said. I was trying to convince myself more than anyone. I'm losing my faith in Christianity, and this was one of my last pathetic attempts to convince myself I believed in it.

Back and forth between what? guys and girls? Cause that's what being bi is- being attracted to both sexes. Unless you mean back and forth from calling herself bi/straight/gay, in which case she might be just confused.

Back and forth between saying she's bi, then straight, then maybe a lesbian. I do know what being bi means; though I may appear to be an idiot, I'm not.

I don't think that homosexual couples adopting kids is bad, I think it's good. I think some homosexual couples might take better care of some kids than some straight couples.

fetch, i think you're my new favourite person.

Okay, I think it's wrong. I don't hate homosexual people, but, because of my religion, I think they've made some bad choices. I do think homosexuality is a choice, even though a lot of people say it's just something you find out about yourself.

So, just curious, when did you decide you want to be straight?

And even if it isn't, choosing to act on it (i.e. having sex and/or marrying someone of the same gender) is.

So, it's okay that you're tired, you're just not allowed to sleep?

I think that this is going to set a bad example for the kids, because children are completely influenced by their parents, especially when they're young.

Did your parents tell you about their attraction to the opposite sex when you were three? o.0 Heck, I still get skeeved out when my parents mention sex around me.

But, I could say that Muslims or Hindus or whatever shouldn't adopt kids, because those things don't fit in with my Christian beliefs.

Er, that's different, though, because someone with a certain religon while usually bring kids up to follow that religon, and sexual orientation doesn't work the same way.

I've struggled with this and homosexuality in general a lot, because one of my very good friends is bi (actually, I don't think she knows what she is, she tends to go back and forth).

I've decided to hate the sin, not the sinner, because I've done a ton of things that are "unChristian" like lying or whatever.

Also, I'd like to add this: I'm speaking from a moral point of view here, not a political or legal one.

Lying is a bigger sin in the bible than homosexuality. In fact, homosexulity should only be a sin for the Jewish, because the REASON it's a sin in the first place is it's what other people did, and because they had just left Egypt they were to do everything they could to seperate themselves from other religons.

It's perfectly ok. People say that a child needs a male and female role model but there are plenty of single parents. A child w/ homosexual parents would actually be better off it there parents had strong respect for each other than some single parent homes. If they were to see that both parents loved and respected and helped each other then it would be fine. But a child would also need someone of their own gender if they didn't have that but their parents probably know a trust worthy person.

Little children don't care/know anything about sexuality, so it wouldn't influence them if they had parents of the same gender.

As long as the parents love and can support the children, there is nothing wrong with it.

I agree that a child is influenced a lot by their parents, but if it is true that it isn't a choice to be homosexual, then it wouldn't matter. It is really impossible for me to know because I'm not, but if thats true, then though the child may be confused they'll still mature and make their own choices in life. I think it is better for someone to be loved by homosexual parents then not loved at all, so in my opinion it is okay for them to adopt children.

If somebody loves a child and would do anyhting for that child, that person should be able to adopt that child without any problems. It shouldn't matter if the people who want to adopt are homosexual or not, if they really and truly love a child, that child should be adopted and they should become parents.

I agree with jendragon. Parents are the biggest influence in their childs life. I guess that the biggest concern is if children will follow their parents footsteps and life style. I don't know if that would be true or not. But I guess that's one of the biggest reasons why it is against the law. I personally don't have anything against people who are homosexuals(I too have friends who are). But like jen my beliefs are against their life style. I don't judge them, but I don't agree with them either...hard.

sweet day.

Obviously we can't say, "Homosexual adoptions are illegal because Christians (or at least a lot of them) don't like them." That's just not how our government works. Wow, this turned into a really long post.

iluvlogan: my parents are MY parents. end of story. i'd love them no matter who they are or what they do.

iluvlogan:
if my parents were gay, i wouldnt care at all. i know that love is love in any form. if my parents were happy, and felt loved, then *i* would be happy for them. and i would feel cared for and loved.

iluvlogan-WTF are you talking about? If you haven't seen my poll some people have voted that it is wrong, but haven't posted anything. So get your facts straight missy.

Everyone on here has said that it's fine for them to adopt children. Now you'd say diff. if it were you! you wouldnt like that yrself, we all know it, i wouldnt mind....in fact i dont care....but if it were me i wouldnt liek it, but it also is true that every child needs a home regardless of who it is w/.

hey, these kids need a family, and as we all learned when we were little, there are many different families!!

-rito

saying that homosexuals shouldnt adopt children is like saying korean people shouldnt adopt children, or swedish people shouldnt adopt children. its ridiculous.
heh, but maybe im jumping the gun putting forth this "argument", considering no one has yet posted here that they think homosexuals *shouldnt* adopt kids.
anyway, saying it regardless!

of course!

Perfectly fine, a home is a home.

ppl are ppl. it's not their fault if they aren't straight. nothing is wrong w/that.

I think homosexuals adopting kids is fine. Children just need to be loved, what does it matter if their parents are gay or straight?
