		<description>everybody believes that their opinion are true and i respect all of u. but of course to some commentator i can&#039;t agree. 

&quot;homosexuality is innate&quot; - when you say innate it is inborn or natural. many things affects the sexual orientation of a person like culture, the people around you, where you are frequently engaged. therefore it is not innate as it is not biological.

&quot;bible&#039;s interpretation is subjective&quot; - to see is to believe and to believe is to see. so it depends.

&quot;agnostic&quot; - the existence of God is not provable. but not an atheist.

--faith for me would support everyones reason. 
the faithful you are to God the higher you defend his ideals
the lesser you faith the more you contradict

--you think you&#039;re doings things right theres no need for you to defend even if other poeple would criticize you.  (perhaps you would oppose by: you have the reason to defend because you are on the right track) remember: it is better to live by your principles rather than revolving to others perceptions. i guess it is a never ending process of defending if they cant understand or emphatized with you.

--homosexuality for me- is not about your orientation today (gay / lesbian), its about your biology as a man and women by nature. 

bible-for me serves a guide. just like religion - we have different religions but most of us are christians. what i mean is we believe in variable ways but still we faith as a christian. except for those who are atheist! go to hell.... 

-------i tried to be assertive and firm here. if i might offend others point of view. my apology...------ take care!

		<description>First and foremost, I do believe in CHANGE.

1. Like what Kuya Kevin is reiterating. GOD LOVES US so He don&#039;t want us to go astray. Regarding the Bible, &quot;it is inspired by God&quot; even though only humans wrote its contents. (II Timothy 3:16 comes to mind: &quot;All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;&quot; So we have a claim here. But a claim is not proof, is it? ) How could He manifest His existence by merely throwing a book from heaven down to earth. GOD is a God that uses people to glorify Him. 

(For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world, and the despised, God has chosen, the things that are not, that He might nullify the things that are, that no man should boast before God. 1 Cor.1:26-29. )

2. I don&#039;t despise GAYS or LESBIANS. I may not be one of them but  I do love them. I have lots of friends who belong to this part of society. Despite their sexual preference, I do mingle with them. I do believe that they are one of the reasons why God chose to come down to earth in the form of JESUS CHRIST; He indeed SAVES. =)</description>

		<description>Kuya Kevin,

Well, if someone shot me because he/she thought there was nothing wrong with it, then he/she does so at her own risk.

What I am trying to say here, Kuya Kevin, is that WHATEVER people choose to do, then it is to their own free will, and risk. You cannot just go on forcing your way and your beliefs (however subtle or agressive you may be) to other people, especially if they thought otherwise, because it would be hopeless, fruitless, and dumb.

So there. Live your own life, as I do mine.</description>

		<description>why base on the bible? its merely like any other book made. What matters most I guess is how we all have different beliefs. Like me, I&#039;m an Unitarian Universalist and I don&#039;t believe the Bible is &quot;the word of God&quot;. 

You just really have to stand up straight and face them all saying &quot;I&#039;m gay and I don&#039;t care what you say&quot; it&#039;d be absolutely ridiculous if you let people step on you.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s not merely base people&#039;s stereotyping and tolerance to gay on bible passages. Bible or religion will always be debatable. All I know is that there&#039;s this divine power that created order in our environment. Divine power that made the earth revolve around its orbit that when it becomes derailed may lead to destruction. I careless about the bible or who wrote it but I believe that whoever created men and women and their way to multiply themselves is so unearthly genius. But then being gay I think is also a part of the divine creation. We were given personalities and this personality is a product of how,where orfrom whom we were raised during our childhood years. Im basing this statement from some theorists of personality dev. Personality dictates our feelings towards something or someone consciously or unconsciously. The personality of a gay is a product of events that may be traceable during their childhood years. I heard some friends of mine saying they don&#039;t want to be gay but they can&#039;t help it. It may be a choice and maybe not for some. Gay people like straight paople are also in search for the natural order. Gay people like straight people as well deviates from the ethical principles written in the bible. Being a womanizer is more grave than being gay. Gay people dont hurt other people&#039;s feelings just because of being gay itself.</description>
