wow, this is the 2nd to last chapter! it's about sexuality, mainly homosexuality. i think basically the author was talking about how too much emphasis is put on the debate about whether homosexuality is genetic or behavioral, but it really doesnt matter because it shouldn't define a person either way. It's sad how many misconceptions there are that all Christians are homophobic people. and our society today pretty much outcasts you if you express any form of "homophobia" or intolerance. I feel like that in itself is a form of intolerance too.. homophobaphobia? anyways, i def agree with the author that that debate is getting us nowhere and that it's not the defining character of a person.
I feel like just as God gives each of us strengths and different measures of faith, it's the same with weaknesses. We still atleast have the choice to want to grow closer to God. Especially in today's society, it's hard to reconcile homosexuality with sin atleast publicly. if you call it a sin, you're outcasted, but i feel the bible is clear on this issue. i feel like there's a more socially accepted but sorta similar example: it's a well known fact that boys are more sexually driven than girls. you can even look at it scientifically with testosterone levels. if you give girls testosterone, they have more sexual desire. I guess people try to see homosexuality the same way.. it's just how they're born.. just part of their biology. It doesnt make it ok for guys to go around womanizing every girl they see though. Guys, just like girls still have to live for something greater. We have that choice no matter what is in our dna or chemical environment.
