So Wrong

I recently watched a video on Yahoo News that discussed sexuality. The piece was focused on very young twin boys who were extremely different. One played with GI Joe figurines, while the other painted his nails and spent his time with Neopets. I found this article very interesting, especially after watching the documentary “Jesus Camp”, where Christians preached that homosexuality was a grave sin. I believe that such an example proves that sexual orientation is largely based on nature and not nurture. Previously, people had believed that sexual orientation was gained through nurture,; for example, a mother teaching her son feminine mannerisms. However, such a case proves that this is impossible. The twins are complete opposites. Also, a few years ago I took AP Psychology, where I learned that there was a large correlation between the size of a certain area in the brain and sexuality. Although correlation does not equal causation, I firmly believe that this evidence proves that sexuality is not learned but based mainly on what’s inside rather than what’s outside. Because of this, I believe that Christianity’s stance on homosexuality is fundamentally wrong. If god “loves us all”, then why create people who are automatically sinners without giving them a chance? An episode of South Park beautifully drives home this point. One of the characters is at the wrong place at the wrong time, and is innocent, but sent to a “Gay Camp”, where Christians try to teach children that sexuality is a choice. The camp is horrible. People commit suicide because they cant get homosexual thoughts out of their heads. Why call someone evil when they ultimately had no choice? It is questions like this that make me wonder about Christianity and its beliefs.
