Alternative Theories
Recently, yawning bread's latest article http://www.yawningbread.org/arch_2007/yax-719.htm talked about how the National Council of Churches is hoping to expand the prohibition against consensual sex between gay men to include lesbianism. Nothing new in fact, the Christian leaders and some christian fellas have always been decrying homosexuality; now and then their letters to appear in the ST.
Mr Alex has already made a rather good post on the issue; and this post is not to talk about the move by the NCCS to encourage the criminalisation of lesbianism and to perpetrate the hate against the homosexual community. This is merely an attempt to give some kind of commentary on this whole issue.
A recent storm over aaron's blog brought up the issue of whether homosexuality is natural or unnatural. Apparently scientific consensus is that homosexuality is natural and has naught to do with nuturing or psychological or so on so forth. Having had encounters with christians of various denominations, there are those who hold the belief that everything that happens is up to the will of God.
Therefore if a Christian takes the premise that homosexuality is natural, then it should follow that he will reach the conclusion whereby God made the person who is homosexual. Thus if God made the person that way, then isnt it rather sinful to hate the person? And by questioning the person's existence, are they not going against the will of God, for by the will the homosexual person exists
Of course there are those who deny the scientific evidence. Then assume the person is not born gay. Assume it is psychological. Now some encounters with christians have shown that they believe that everything that happens to them is by the same said Will of God. So in that case shouldn't it also follow that the conditions which brought about the person's homosexuality are a result of the said divine will? Therefore it appears that by going against homosexuality these fellas will also be opposing the will of God!!!
Of course there are those who will say that God made the man that way to test him, to test us so on so forth. Kinda like the love the sinner but hate the sin logic. But it was this logic which so obsessed the inquisitors that to "save" a person's immortal soul, they would stick him with hot pokers and then fry him on a stake.

Well, the lines are blur; but I do believe most churchs try to teach their people to hate the sin, not the person.
