No, not that guy down the hall in college who wears a lot of paisley. Dawn Eden is blogging about recent genetic studies surrounding homosexuality. Turns out that predisposition may not be the case after all.
Frankly I could care less about ties between genetics and homosexuality. Addiction seems to have genetic markers for predisposition, but no one ever says that makes alcoholism a good thing or morally right. Genetics is not a moral justification for a lifestyle. The question is not "is this genetically predisposed?" but "is this good and healthy?" The rest is just a rhetorical diversion.
As for homosexuality, well I've probably said this before but I've had a bunch of new viewers lately. I think Christians spend way too much time talking about it. As if being gay were more important than not knowing Christ or something. It seems to me that sharing Christ with people will help empower them to leave a lifestyle that is unhealthy. Folks, gay people who don't know Jesus have a bigger problem than being gay. We need to have perspective here.
But for some reason the uptights can't get their heads wrapped around this. I suppose engaging homosexuals for Christ would actually involve, you know, talking to them instead of shouting at them. It's time for relating not berating.
