Sex before marriage aka fornication is considered a sin.

Fornication comes from a term for sex with whores...

I believe gay people aren't born gay and straight people aren't born straight. Something that to date can only be guessed at causes this trigger. I think different factors make different people gay. No scientist worth his salt will lay claim to knowing precisely what causes homosexuality. They will speculate and put forward theories, qualifying statements with "we think", "we assume", "found some evidence" etc. But unfortunately scientific fact is elusive. I personally wouldn't presume to know what makes a gay person gay. But I guess it would be a pretty difficult life given that it's a Heterosexual World. (And perhaps some would argue it's a White Heterosexual Man's World!).

I work with intersexed females. We know precisely what causes their specific birth defects. In spite of that, many of them feel guilty or ashamed of their condition. It's really quite sad.

I've managed to find this info from American Psychological Association. Hope it's useful to you.

'Gay' gene claim suddenly vanishes
American Psychological Association revises statement on homosexuality

A publication from the American Psychological Association includes an admission that there is no "gay" gene, according to a doctor who has written about the issue on the website of National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality.

A. Dean Byrd, the past president of NARTH, confirmed that the statement from the American Psychological Association came in a brochure that updates what the APA has advocated for years.

Specifically, in a brochure that first came out about 1998, the APA stated: "There is considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality."

However, in the update: a brochure now called, "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality," the APA's position changed.

The new statement says:

"There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles. ..."

Conclusion: It's not genetic, but so what? People will do what they want to do whether you like it or not. No one yet truly knows why it happens but it is definitely more than just simple 'choice'.

I thought the APA had "no credibility man"?

What happened with that?

the APA is science, so he does not believe in it when it comes to this issue. science is known to correct itself when wrong or premature, ideologue bigots like kaendar are known for the opposite, to fall back on religion to justify their views.

thus, when the APA says homosexuality is not a mental disorder and stands by it for decades, he says they have no credibility.

but when the APA finds out that a study they trusted had questionable methodology or flawed findings, he marches it out as a trump card.

this is confirmation bias in action.

fuck off, kaendar.

kaendar ignores that his own copy and paste contradicts him (and is also misleading).

the APA's statement says genetics are a factor, yet the publisher of the article says "so it's not genetics". this is obviously misleading and biased. it does go on to say that it is more than just choice, as kaendar claims.

Because when they changed the original decision in 73, alot of insiders were saying they were very "influenced" into doing that. Basically they got bullied into making that decision.

As I'm certain you didn't take my previous advice of reading the writings of Solomon when it comes to animals and souls I doubt that providing you with a further biblical reference will do absolutely any good... But in the hope that you further educate yourself in the writings in the bible of which you keep speaking, I ask you to read Leviticus... I'm not going to provide you with the actual verse number as I believe you should get a deeper more intimate understanding of more than just one point... but for this discussion on sexual immorality I say Leviticus...

I find it hard to take people seriously when they bring up the bible as a point of reference without having actually read the bible...

In Leviticus you will find the list of Sexual Immoralities as held by the Jewish people... As a warning for you so your brain doesn't shatter completely it does not mention pre marital sex at all...

I spent a month reading the bible just researching this very point...
