First, I start I will offer my disclaimer. My comments here are in no way support for Dr. Carson. I do not believe he would be a good president of the United States of America. A good president has to have an administrator’s brain. He will be required to administrate the people’s business in an efficient and effective manner, not play social engineer with the people’s money and rights.
The second part of my disclaimer is that this is not a hate article. I studied psychology and I am a Christian. My comments will be to share the love of God and to explain some of the science of learning behavior.
I will deal with the religious issues first. God calls homosexuality an abomination unto the Lord. God said that neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind ...shall inherit the Kingdom of god, Corinthians 6;2.
Now, for many people words such as these my be viewed offensive. However, God who knows everything is trying to help us stay out of trouble and help us benefit from his love.
The idea that homosexuality is inborn comes in part by what are called twin longitudinal studies. Social Scientist follow maternal twins through out life and document elements of the lives of these twins.
The twins have to be maternal because these are the twins that are 100% genetically alike. Fraternal twins are not 100% generically the same.
Now, there these kinds of twin studies that show that twins separated at an early stage in life and raised in different parts of a city, state, and even another country are gay and lesbian. For many this reality verifies that homosexuality has to be inborn. By inborn I mean natural.
The problem comes from the same kind of twin studies that yield other results. There are these kind of twin studies where the twins are not gay or lesbian.
Therefore, homosexuality is not inborn. At least longitudinal twin studies do not support the idea of inborn homosexuality.
The same can be said for people who have tried to find the alcoholic gene, homosexual gene, and other genes that supposedly control behavior. Some gene studies show similarities in genes among homosexuals. Unfortunately, there are people with these gene similarities who are not alcoholic or gay and lesbian.
These studies and other reasons are why I am confident homosexual behavior is learned. After all we are talking about behavior. Again, behavior is learned.
We learn through information processing. Our attitudes, ideas, philosophies, emotions, and behaviors comes from the sensory information we observe in our environment. We think. We interact with media. We interact with people.
I am going to gross you out. If you are a man get a picture of your mother when she was at the age she breast fed you and get a picture of your girlfriend and/or wife at the time you met her. Many of you will notice a great resemblance between the pictures. The same can be said for women. Husbands represent fathers of the bride when these fathers where young.
The point is that we process information and put information related to good emotions in one pile and we put information related to negative information in another pile. In life, we do seek pleasure and avoid pain.
This is how we learn. Ideas we believe lead to pleasure we follow. In reality, romance is an idea until we start to practice. By practice I mean flirting, dating, and romantic interaction.
Through this practice we hone the ideas that will work. Now where does the idea that a same gender relationship is a good thing come from in life?
Well in my mental health assessment, I start with the health of the brain. Again, many people have a chemical imbalance in the brain that leads to confusion, anxiety, and/or depression. Quality mental health studies have shown that there is a higher rate of mental illness in the homosexual population verses the heterosexual population.
After chemical imbalance is how information is presented to us. The children we have seen practicing jihad behaviors do not have the sense of being offended by the injustice because the people who have taught them have presented the behavior as a positive in their society. We can just call these type of learning social learning.
Many members in the homosexual population where introduced in to the homosexual society by other people. Many times people are indoctrinated.
Stress theory has a lot to offer in this discussion. When we experience stress this stress changes our perception, mood, and attitude which results in pain and suffering for many people. For some homosexuality is a form of medicating this pain.
Now, I have dedicated my life to sincerity. Many people just want to win an argument. I have no interest in misleading anyone.
Unfortunately, for many people it is better to misrepresent facts just to push and agenda. I am only interested in truth because truth is the only way of truly understanding and resolving a matter.
There is a God. He did create this universe. We are His creation and even though we do not deserve it He wants to spend an eternity with us.
God also wants to help us live a good life while we are on Earth. This is why He has given us His Holy Book so we will understand how to be healthy and Godly.
God is offended by sin because it is poison we are willingly consuming. He does not want us to harm our selves. With sin we hurt ourselves and create a society that harms us and harms others.
I know people do not want to know God. This is a choice. However, understand that every person is eternal. When we follow God, we can have a good life on Earth and better life in Heaven.
It is a great error to believe that those of who are talking about sin of homosexuality are haters. The one and only God came and talked to us. We found a great, beautiful, and, loving God.
All we want to do is share this loving God with you so you to will have a life with peace, love, and joy. To be a Christian a person just has to believe in Christ and invited Him in to his or her life.
Now, I know that the war between the “body of Christ” and those who want to destroy this body will continue. Last year God showed me the concept of the “seductive whispers of satan”. Satan and his demons plant a lot of ideas in the minds of many people. Many do not understand today that they are being lead by these ideas.
It is sad how many people will face an eternity in hell. However, rage and anger does legitimize a behavior that offends God so much.
Yesterday, people on the Glen Beck radio show were discussing the idea that with God there is not greater or lesser sin. These radio people could not understand this reality. For God there is only disobedience. It does not matter if we disobey by smoking or killing 10 million. The issue is our disobedience.
The category that God has put homosexuality in is because of its danger to society. The flood was necessary because the majority of the human race was involved in disobedience. Noah and his people are the only ones God found worthy of saving.
Let us remember the fall of Rome. There was a lot of sexual sin and very little taking care of life. Yes, sort of like America now.
I understand the need for many to believe homosexuality is inborn. Science does not support this theory. In addition, God considers total human depravity so dangerous that He destroyed to towns completely and killed off every one except Noah and his family.
Moreover, remember we are trying to help you when we tell you the danger you are in by disobeying God. God loves you. We love. God wants to spend an eternity with you. We want to help Him be able to spend an eternity with you.
