Biological component to belief in the divine? Are you using statisticians to come up with that? Hmm, wonder what happened with my kids ... they all go to church and believe in their god ... oh wait, should have married someone as religiously disinterested as myself ... :)

No amount of research has shown for a fact that you are forced to be gay or not. There has been some research to show that there are things that may make someone more inclined in that area, but the same can be said for many other behavioral choices. On that same note, there is research to indicate that religion, or the belief in the divine has a biological component as well. As this puts homosexuality on the same biological level as religion, to bash one is to allow the bashing of another. Lets add in left handed people as well just for good measure. > Homosexuality is usually not a choice. > > -Kevin > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: William H.
