The Bible condemns homosexuality. Therefore, God would not make that the default position of any person. Thus, it is a choice, not a personality trait.

The bible also condemns disease, but disease is not a choice.
The bible doesn't condemn fucktardedness, either, but it your case, I should look deeper...
The Bible condemns stupidity. Therefore, God would not make that the default position of any person. Thus, it is a choice, or that Jason was dropped on his head as a baby.
Reasonable people don't care about what goes on in private. Then again reasonable people aren't fundies.
Here Jason, just for you.

Your argument rests on the faulty assumption that "God" exists in the first place. Many would not accept that assumption; therefore, your argument is hopelessly flawed. In addition to your faulty logic, your argument doesn't stand up to the evidence. Homosexuality exists in the natural world. Many studies suggest it is not a choice in most cases.
You FAIL!
Scientific evidence, intuition (the old addage 'you can't choose who you love' comes to mind, why would that be different with gender?) and basic common sense (who would choose to be gay with numptyfucks like you around) say you are wrong.
You are wrong.
End of story.
Either the bible is full of shit or your god is cruel, and you can find either of those out just by reading the bible. Deal with it.
Hang on! I wish you bottom feeders would get some sort of uniformity in your definitive truths. Are people homosexual because of:
Choice
Demonic Possession
Childhood Abuse
Hatred of God
Hatred of the Opposite Sex
Mental Illness
Etc, Etc?
Pick one and stick to it. Otherwise you'll just look stupid.
Yes, despite the fact that I've never been remotely interested in having a romantic or sexual relationship with another woman despite meeting many awesome and beautiful lesbians in my time, you are correct. I'll go out and start being a lesbian tomorrow. You know, just because I'm bored.
Hey, Jason, why not come join me and I'll see if I can convert you. You might like it! No, I guarantee you'll like it!
Depends what part of the Bible. If you take Deuteronomy and Leviticus yes. However, they refer to male prostitutes in Temples and only to male homosexuality(does it mean that Lesbianism is allowed or rather that they condenm something they were not aware how it worked?). Be careful, because the same argument could be said of not eating shrimp or lobster, wearing mix-fabrics.............don't try to say that it was the old Covenant or that we have to understand the context, because it's, therefore, a slipery slope. Jesus not once mentions homosexuality(but he does divorce and I don't see that fundies, in general, have a problem with that). The only references are from St Paul, which, apart from being obscures and not very extensive, have to be taken as it is, AN OPINION from a father of the church, not the infallible word of God.
Again, that the Bibles condenms homosexuality doesn't mean that reality works that way. The Bible thinks that people who are today epileptic, squizofrenic or depressive are demonically possesed, and condenms too sexual mores we don't care about today. Reason is obvious. They didn't have the scientific knowledge we have today and, slippery slope again, it applies to homosexuality too. Real end of the story.
You know the irony of the whole gay marraige sanctity thing..
The USA is a country where you can get married by a man dressed as Elvis... I think once that can occur the sanctity of the marraige can deal with same sex marraiges.
That and people respond with "Why if you can marry a man! What's to stop the next man marrying a goat?" That just speaks volumes of closet goat lust...
Lev. is the rule-book for temple servants. Deut. is also OT.
None of the truly Christian scripture addresses homosexuality at all, except that Jesus made an oblique reference to homosexuality in G.Phil: "Do you want me to love you as I love her?"
Christ's purpose has always been to nullify the g0d of Abraham. Loser.
Great. Prove to me the Bible is in fact God's word, start to finish, and NOT a book of myths cobbled together, edited, RE-edited, translated, translated, dumbed down (in many cases) and then served up. If you can do that, I will never sleep with another man. Up until then, even if it was divinely inspired, it was written by the hand of man. Mankind will tend to let agendas and biases color their views.
Just sayin' is all.
"The Bible condemns homosexuality.!
Very debatable.
"Therefore, God would not make that the default position of any person."
You mean everyone is gay? And nobody told me!
"Thus, it is a choice, not a personality trait."
And your proof of this contention is....? The Bible? But isn't this circular reasoning? Ahem! It sure is, and it is about a valid as a four-pound note!
Seriously dude stop trolling here, come out of the closet, find a guy you love, get married ans settle down

We love you too honey.
the bible also comdemns: womens' rights, shaving, and eating shellfish.
therefore, God would not be make women genetically equivalent to men, would not create facial hair, and would not create lobsters. all these things are choices.
oh wait a minute.
Jason, dearie, would YOU choose something that was guaranteed* to make you hated and despised, beaten up occationally, and perhaps even killed for? How can you possibly think that anyone would choose something like that?
* More or less so depending on country and time in history.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
