I'll probably get killed for answering this honestly....
1) Do you think homosexuality is a) plain immoral (wrong)? yes b) spiritually immoral? yes 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? No 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? No, i don't belive this. God loves everyone, and anyone can ask for forgiveness for their sins,a nd yes , i think homosexualtiy is a sin cause in the bible it says (this might not be the exact wording) "a man shall not like w/ a man as a woman should, and a woman shall not lie w/ a woman as a man should." 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? There might be a gene that makes a man more femine or vice versa for a woman, but it's free will to choose your sexualtiy, i think. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? yea

Here's my opinion
1) Do you think homosexuality is a) plain immoral (wrong)? NO b) spiritually immoral? NO 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? YES. I don't know alot about the Catholic Religion, but I thought everyone was equal in God's eyes, whether you're female or male. So why should you be looked down upon just because of your sexual preferance? 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? NO, I don't believe in heaven and hell. Even if I did, the answer would still be no. Homosexuality isn't a "sin" and there's nothing wrong with it. 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? NO. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Yes.

1) Do you think homosexuality is
I don't think homosexuality is wrong or immoral at all. I'll let God be the judge. 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? Yes, because it is hypocritical of them. Jesus taught us to love thy neighbor and not to judge other people. 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? I think anyone who lets Jesus into their life goes to Heaven. 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? I honestly don't know. I think people are born gay. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? No, I don't think we have control over who we love. |

1) Do you think homosexuality is
a) plain immoral (wrong)? NO b) spiritually immoral? NO 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? YES! Just because they're homosexual doesn't mean that they don't have feelings like everyone else. Does the catholic church look down on people because of their race or because they have a disability? That was the card those people were dealt and homosexuality is the card that homosexuals got dealt. 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? NO and if they are then I'd rather go to hell. Seriously, we're all people like I said before - do people with disabilities or those who happen to be a different color go to hell and not heaven? That would be stupid if they did because their just people like homosexuals are. 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? Absolutely not! Having feelings for the same sex isn't a 'gene' it's just life, I believe homosexuals are born that way it's not gene. I should know this because I have always felt different my whole life and although it took me quite a long time to realize it I never understood why I felt different. Even at a younger age I still felt distant from those around me because I wasn't interested in any of the things that the people around me were interested in. In this case, it was boys. I was never really interested in them, but afraid of what people might think I hid my feelings brainwashing myself for awhile too, but you'd have to know my whole life story to understand. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? No, and people don't get to choose who they love and who get to love them back either. |

1. No, not per se--I would think that if something were immoral, it would make no difference if it were "spiritually" immoral or otherwise. 2. I believe it is wrong for any Christian church to look down on homosexuality--in particular the Catholic Church, because its views go back to a pre-Medieval view of sexuality from St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and Tertullian who believed that "women were the gateways into hell", and of course Augustine's view that the way God punished us in the Garden of Eden was--by giving us sexual desire! Since my views on homosexuality are shaped by the autobiography of Mel White, gay Christian author of "Stranger At the Gate", it is hard for me to endorse anymore that homosexuals are evil.3. Many of the "proof-texts" used to oppose homosexuality refer to something else entirely: i.e., the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, where the citizens of the two cities were condemned for the sin of their lack of hospitality. People find it easy to use the Bible to justify their condemnation for things they find distasteful, but many warnings and "laws" in the Bible and in the Mosaic Old Testament have no bearing on our lives and society today. Is it wrong to eat pork or shellfish? According to the Old Testament, it is. Maybe this doesn't have much to do with homosexuality, but remember that the Bible was written long before modern sciences and psychology gave us understanding of human nature. 4. "Gay gene"? Not sure. 5. Of course we have control over our sexual feelings. But if you mean we can just "switch" to being strictly straight when we're predisposed to being gay, welllllllll.....I'd like to see how you can try. I believe so many "ex-gays" are going through that craziness right now, kicking the "gay habit" not so much for themselves, but more to gain respect from homophobic persons in society.

1- a) I really don't know. I feel as though it shouldn't be immoral because we should be allowed to choose whoever we want to be with regardless who they are, their race, their gender, their background, ect. b) I've been taught it's immoral. I do believe it but then I have other beliefs that contradict it. It's really confusing. 2- I think The Catholic Church does have a right to look down on it because their source, The Bible, basically says it is wrong. And according to the Bible, our creator was and is God. With that said, The Bibles tells us that God never intended for homosexuality to come about, nor it wasn't apart of his design for sexual desire. 3- I really don't know. I have heard that God condems those who purposely have sex with their own gender. I've also heard that God forgives not matter what the problem is. 4- I don't know. It may be possible since we find a lot of people in history to be homosexuals and we still have them today. 5- I think a minority of people are born natually to have sexual feelings for a particular gender [sexually wise]. |

I just want to see the views and opinions on this matter. Here it goes:
1) Do you think homosexuality is a) plain immoral (wrong)? NO b) spiritually immoral? NO 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? Yes I do, religious people have a rep for being good being PREJUDICE is evil. People need to be more accepting. WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE, SWEET LOVE. 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? NO. If a homosexual is a good person, as an not a killer, then they are not a bad person. Just because they are attracted to a member of the same sex that means they are bad people? HELL NO! 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? Yes, I do. There's nothing abnormal about it, it's just as normal as a boy liking a girl and a girl liking a boy. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? No, you can't change how you feel. |

1) Do you think homosexuality is
a) plain immoral (wrong)? Absolutely not. b) spiritually immoral? Same as above. 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? It's hipocritical because they preach that you should love your neighbor like yourself, and then they go around saying "Except gay and lesbian people." Yea, yea, there's that one quote in the bible that it says not to lie down with another man or woman, but that just contradicts this one. And vice-versa. So whish is it? It's not strictly the Catholic Church though, a lot of other churches say this. And a lot of Catholics (As well as other religions), like myself, don't agree. 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? No, they have done nothing wrong. You can't change the way you feel about loving a person. Remember, it's all on the inside. You fall in love with a person because of their soul, not just because of their gender. Because in the end, when you do die, that's all you are, a soul. 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? No. And not all homosexual people follow the general 'feminie' or 'butch' type of person. That usually happens if you're born with an unusual amount of testosterone or estrogen. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? Like I said before, you can't control the way you feel. Say you like chocolate. You're not going to turn away from if just because a lot of other people say it's a sin, do you? Far fetched example, but it's the same, basic idea. |

1) Do you think homosexuality is
a) plain immoral (wrong)? No b) spiritually immoral? No 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? Yes. Well, Im not Catholic but I dont like how religions look down upon ones beliefs. 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? If that person is gay and also believes that being gay will bring them into hell, then yes. But I, personally, dont think God would punish someone for who they are if they asked for forgiveness. 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? No!!! Is there such thing as a "straight" gene? ![]() 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? No. You can hide how you feel, but you cannot control who you are. Im straight and I cant "make myself gay."

a) plain immoral (wrong)? no b) spiritually immoral? no 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? Yeah because that makes it seem to people in the church that every homosexual is bad, and thats definitely not true. 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? No because I think that If you believe in god and are saved you will go to heaven. 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? No. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? No, because I'm physically attracted to girls and im a girl, and i didnt choose one or the other, thats just what my feelings are. You dont have any control over it.

1) Do you think homosexuality is
a) plain immoral (wrong)? No, people should be able to love who ever they want to. b) spiritually immoral? No 2) Do you think its wrong that the Catholic Church looks down on homosexuality? Why or why not? Yes it is wrong. I don't care what you members think, but if you believe in God then you know he doesn't hate his children if they are gay or not. So them hating gays, looking down on them, that shows me they don't believe or follow God. JMO 3) Do you think that homosexuals are condemed into hell and therefore have no chance to get to Heaven? Why or why not? All they do is fall in love with some one in the same sex so they are going to hell for that? God wouldn't do that. You're not going to hell just for that. 4) Do you believe that there is such a thing as a "gay" gene? Why or why not? No. 5) Do you think people have control over their sexual feelings where it comes to liking a particular gender? Why or why not? I don't think anyone has control over their sexual feelings I guess. I don't know. |
