_____There are various happenings in one’s early life that may “cause” homosexuality. I don’t want to discuss that but to present an idea that just hit my head.
_____ The first trimester of pregnancy is when the body developes it’s physical, feeling way of life. All of the mother’s feelimgs go directly to and permeate the embryo.
_____ Ideally these feelings are fully diverse, including the physical love of a partner, but in some cases the mother may have had a sexual experience only at conception. In that case the resultant human being would not have the innate knowledge of sex with a partner at all, and may be driven to a same sex partner through trust.
_____ This needs some more thought. I could easily be entirely wrong.
_____Let’s put this into perspective. The mohammedans moved into southern europe around the 700’s. They were smarter than the christians, and they excelled.
_____The christians became afraid, and they declared war on the mohammedans around the year 800. This war is still going on.
_____That is the perspective.
We seem to have lost our understanding of the development of human beings, and I believe that is the prime cause of our fear of homosexuality. All children, at some time during their forth year, feel the normal human need to understand their bodies and the bodies of other members of society. In a normal society, children would often be nude and this basic need in their development would be met almost automatically. In our society they must resort to “playing doctor”, and many aren’t allowed that opportunity. Unfulfilled, this need is repressed to allow them to continue with their lives.
This need resurfaces around the fourteenth year when sexuality kicks in, and therein lies our problem. Wanting to look at the other boys in the shower while feeling sexual tension suggests homosexuality and brings on fear. At this stage of the game the need can no longer be supressed and so becomes a lifelong haunting. Seeing homosexuals, or hearing about them triggers that fear throughout our lives and, unable to deal with it, we want to eliminate homosexuals from our society.
Homosexuality is something that happens. It is not something someone does, or becomes. It’s like handedness.
You can force someone to use their right hand, to be non-sexual, to change, but that’s a solution that makes an unhappy human, and as Christians, we don’t want that. Jesus is love, happiness, not anger, hate. Jesus loves us, regardless of our sexual preferences.
We refuse to allow them to marry. That is an anti-Christian position. I don’t know how people can take that position and still show their faces in church. But I do know why. They are afraid.
