:::NORMAL???????? Come on! The differences of the billions of people on this planet make it rather self-righteous for any individual to spout what THEY term as normal. It is a completely subjective term.

Normal, in the context of this discussion, is not gay vs. gay. With
roughly 98% of the earth's population not gay, you stand on shakey
ground saying homosexuality isn't abnormal behavior.

::: Every person has their own set of circumstances in life and when backed into a corner you either sit there and cower or you come out fighting in blazing rainbow colors, sequins and all if that corner is created of your homosexuality. There are as many interpretations of the bible as there are readers of it, and any one can find a verse to use to back their particular point for instance- Judge not...

If one approaches the Bible or any other ecclesiatical standard to
wrestle it into submission to their point of view, they have placed
themselves and their opinions above that standard - the height of
arrogance. Before you accuse me of doing this, let's hear you reconcile
the words of Christ "Judge not..." to the many scriptures that condemn
the various forms of sexual sin, of which homosexuality is included.
If you don't agree that homsexuality is sin, why are you quoting
any scripture to me? Would it be to wrestle the Bible into
submission to your point of view?

:::One can only perceive as much as they are willing to.

Indeed! I ask you to perceive all scripture and find where God intends
your mind to balance on any given issue. To confirm homosexuality with
the "Judge not.." text and then disregard the sin aspect of it makes
you seem rather illustrative of your own statement.
