Being a common religious belief doesn't matter. Majorly practiced religions are over a thousand years old... They're behind the times. Let me also add that it is a sin to worship Allah in every religion besides Islam. I believe it is genetic, but you have the right to hold your belief that it is a sin as long as that's your opinion. Homosexuality has occurred on earth as far as we can trace back sex itself. The earliest record of homosexuality in mankind dates back about 7,000 years ago, and let me tell you that we said it then and we'll say it again: We were born this way.

"Religion isn't Genetic it came from God to messengers to people and it carries on from then", Yes because only these Certain "Messengers of God" know exactly what God had said correct? But I don't feel like getting into that with you, besides that isn't the Muslim God always pronounced as Allah?



Homosexuality existed long before Religion, Same with Heterosexuality and Bisexuality. So the entire "Sin" Game has nothing to do with Human Sexuality, how it came to be has been studied. Recent scientist have said it is caused by hormones in the womb before birth, there was a case study of Identical Twins.



I doubt a little Jabroni such as yourself is even actually Muslim, this is comical...

There has always been homosexuals since the beginning, even in the Old Testament in the story of King David and Jonathan is most definitely gay, and there is no question as to how much they loved one another in every way. You have no idea whether it's genetics or not. But Nature is a strange bedfellow. It has been proven that in overpopulated societies in humans and animals that the more crowded it gets the more homosexuals there are. As long as Muslim leaders around the world execute people for being gay, this "religion of peace" cannot be taken seriously as the actual word of God. The Ayatollah said recently that homosexuals are less than dogs or pigs, because dogs and pigs are never gay. Well this statement is absolutely false as there have been many dogs and pigs that have shown homosexual behavior as well as many other animals in God's Kingdom on earth. So that statement by the Ayatollah shows the ignorance of their leaders. How ANYONE with a conscience could condone the slaughter of gay people and then call themselves religious is beyond me. God has always said in every Bible and Quran judge not lest ye be judged.



As God plainly reveals in his Holy Quran:

Quran: 29:69 And those who strive in Our paths to find us (God)),- We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily God is with those who do right.



From here, we should learn once and for all to never be judgmental against others but to leave judgment to God alone.

Saiidna Issa (Jesus) PBUH is recorded in the scriptures as saying, "Judge not lest ye be judged...and by the same measure you judge others by, so too will you be judged."

Imagine how you would feel if you judged someone for their apparently bad deeds when, all the while, that person was suffering from a mental illness that influenced their negative actions? If this happened, it would be you who had sinned - who had truly committed a bad deed - for you passed judgment without knowing all the facts. It is for this very reason that God said to Prophet Mohamed in his Holy Quran :



Quran 46:9 Say: "I am no bringer of new-fangled doctrine among the apostles, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. God is the ONLY one who can judge humans.

Homosexuality and lesbianism came the time of the cave people. Why is it's just programmed into us. Oh, and believe it or not it isn't a sin. The guy before me wouldn't give you a speech on why religion is stupid, I will though. At least organized religion is stupid and evil to me. A caveman takes his club and kills a dinosaur. "Club good, much food." Going on in time we come to the bible and religion both made by man. Is he going to say "religion bad or bible bad?" Although it's been re-translated so many times that almost every page is hypocritical of the one before it. It's really funny if you spend the time to read it such as eating shrimp is a sin or cotton blends another sin. Any question why so many are moving away from ahem religion?

Homosexuality could exist for most motives (inhabitants administration, more beneficial fertility of girls human beings on the issue of homosexuals, enable different roles for society members, and so on.) yet there is no particular clarification why it exists that has been printed to us. even if it truly is a sin, then it may be due partly to our fallen nature, although, genetics are beside the point. it may be genetic and nonetheless be sinful. it may be nongenetic and be completely ideal. it may be genetic and entirely ideal. Or it may be nongenetic and sinful. The sinful element is by using religious and philosophical interpretation, at the same time as the genetic element is by using medical remark. i can't relate to the Quran, although the Bible passages on the topic of homosexuality will be interpreted in diverse tactics, so even if it truly is a sin relies upon on the translation. so some distance because the hater comments, in simple terms ignore about them. it truly is a debatable topic. yet, in case you befell to placed up a really offensive question (no longer this one), then this is quite a lot all and sundry will say.

"Know your role?" More like, "We know you're a troll."



1. If you don't research a question like this, your being offensive is your own fault - you could find PLENTY of answers with a fast internet search.



ORIENTATION IS INNATE. Gay men and lesbians have brains that function more like their opposite-sec het counterparts:



www.apa.org/helpcenter/sexual-orientation.aspx

Brain structure: http://www.pnas.org/content/105/30/10273.full



It may be genetic but there is not a 'gay gene;' apparently factors interact and the mechanism has not been figured out yet.



It is not a choice because just about all Earth creatures form some same-sex bonds - only humans get all frantic about it.

Religion is a man-made structure, an attempt by human beings to define, organize, and thus have the illusion of control over natural forces. Humans seem to have an innate need for ritual, but the function of organized religion has been enslaved by politics in most cultures.



ALL patriarchal religions are focused on keeping male control of the social structure. This includes degradation and marginalization of women and LGBT because it puts an exaggerated priority on the ability to impregnate. This is not "divine will," this is merely male ambition.



As a representative of a religion that murders gays and lesbians, your opinions are clearly biased and negative. The only reason I can imagine that you are on this site is:

And btw, there are gay muslims.

Very courageous people, but in my opinon it makes more sense to leave a religion that preaches hate in the name of the Creator of all life. Because, see earlier link -- being gay is natural.



Being homophobic is not.

It has always existed. It is perfectly natural and there is nothing wrong with it. The major religions are from a time when reproduction was important for the continuation of society. Therefore, homosexuality was feared because they thought it would prevent fast reproduction. They also had the disadvantage of lacking the scientific knowledge to know that it is natural. However, in modern society it is not something to be afraid of. People fear the unknown, but with science we do know. I'm not going to give you the speech about why religion is stupid. Believe whatever you want, just don't support the spread of hatred.
