Why is it that some feel like sexual orientation is a choice, and yet their faith/belief system is not a choice? Doesn't it seem like a double standard? Is there anyone who could enlighten me?
So are you saying that both or nothing is a choice?
Yeah I'm not really down with sodomy as a straight individual, but to each his own.

Good question Lisa, now your cooking!
Sexual orientation comes from three sources:
1. It is learned
2. It is a choice
3. There is a genetic predisposition towards it.
It is all three, with some aspects being stronger than the other. depending on the individual.
Belief systems also come from three sources:
1. It is learned
2. It is derived from facts and evidence
3. It stems from personal desires and needs (i.e they make it up to suit them)
And each individual puts different emphasis on each of those three.
Belief in science and religion all come from the same source.

Sexual orientation is more often hormones than a conscoius choice. Faith is a matter of choice,even if it's the faith you were born into,since you still decide as an adult,plus being an active participant involves committment.

Your faith is a choice! A very personal choice at that! As far as sexual orientation goes... well I believe that is a choice too, one that some people do have to make as a byproduct of their faith. We are all attracted to both men and women but we have to choose which one we wish to 'be' with.

If homosexuality is a choice then heterosexuality is too.
Religion is definitely a choice.
Also, sodomy includes oral sex too and everyone should enjoy that.

You can choose to engage in sodomy or stay away from such a vile act.
