John Beardsley's recent letters (Oct. 8) suggest that since no evidence proves homosexuality's genetic, it must be chosen. How does "no evidence" prove anything? If science determines homosexuality is genetically based, would he accept it? Or would he reject genetics like fundamentalists reject other sciences that disagree with their selectively literal biblical interpretations?
Truth is, we don't know what determines sexual orientation: homosexual or heterosexual. We do know that no one decides to be gay or straight. Want evidence? Ask homosexuals! Is heterosexuality chosen?
Mr. Beardsley compares homosexuals to rapists, pedophiles and murderers. Nobody's advocating pedophilia! (Possible exception: those promoting David Koresh as a religious martyr.)
Child abuse is wrong. That includes religious fanatics filling young people full of self-hatred and guilt over the way God created them. Well over 90% of all pedophiles are heterosexual. With whom are kids safer?
Pedophilia, rape and murder are wrong because they violate the sanctity of the person and the second Great Commandment: Love Thy Neighbor! How could two adults loving each other violate either. Loving isn't sinful!
Salvation comes from having faith in the power of His Love, accepting it, and allowing it to flow through us. God is Love!
