First of all, Nameless Guest, sexual orientation has been established as genetic and hormonal in nature (and in Nature). Read up on the latest on the subject and educate yourself.

And the rest of your post is pure blather!

Greg, a discussion I overheard one morning during coffee hour after the church service was a fellow challenging the pastor on the matter of Jesus' virgin birth. The pastor responded by saying, "Well, first you have to understand that in the various myths about religious figures of all faiths, the story is that they all entered the world in some miraculous fashion and left it in a miraculous fashion. The idea that Mary was a virgin probably came from the early church's efforts to attract the various 'virgin cults' into the church. What matters is what Jesus said, not the gynecological details of his conception and birth."

Also, the folks in this church have no problem with the "heavens" being 13,000,000 years old and the earth, 4,500,000 years old. Evolution? That's how God did it.

Like I say, pete wouldn't be too happy in the church I go to….
