I am not a Christian, but I have a question.


Why would god say that being homosexual is a sin, but at the same time he wants us to be happy.
Homosexuals ARE happy, they can't just wake up and say "Hey, I think I'll be straight from now on"



Think of it this way, it's basically you waking up and saying "hmm, I think I'll be gay from now on"

It's not a personal choice, so why would they go to hell for something out of their control?

I have explained this one before here. It is a personal choice. Without going into detail, people were not born gay. At some point they had to make a decision...that is called free will that God gives everyone. A lot can be said on this but I don't have the time atm to do it. If you search through this subforum you will find your answer.

That's kind of an arrogant answer, I want facts not hearsay no offense.
Being gay is not a "choice" for most people.

Just to clarify, There is only one thing people go to hell for, and that is not believing and accepting Jesus Christ's sacrifice for us. That is the ONLY way to go to hell. Being Gay does not mean you go to hell. It's if you believe or not.

Most gays claim it is a choice.

If you believe in god, but don't ask to repent you're going to hell either way if I remember right.

With regards specifically to homosexuality, the bible states it is a sin. Humans are generally happy living in sin. (Liars, thieves, adulterers, blasphemers, etc). My understanding of sin is that it is all basically equal, which is why I mention the other more obvious forms. Additionally, in some cases, it is accurate to compare, specifically kleptomaniacs (who claim it's not a choice to be that way), et al.

Also, using a general statement such as "gay people are happy being gay" is a gross misstatement. Most homosexuals I've met are hardly happy, much the same as most heterosexuals. In fact, I'd venture to say most homosexuals are less happy, just because of the stigma they face for their lifestyle.

Since you claim you're not a Christian, it's obvious that you're not sincerely interested in this question, so I will close this topic. You can post on the PaRD if you have any further such questions that you want like-minded answers for.
