I have absolutely nothing against gay people but the argument that people are born that way and cannot change (and that makes it normal) is a terrible argument. Pedophiles are born that way and can't change.
right and wrong is a completely different discussion.

I don't like the labels and stereotyping but it goes both ways. Because I believe homosexuality is wrong I get the label as a hater or homophobe or something else. I know some gay people and I don't hate them and in fact they are nice people but I can never condone or put my stamp of approval on something I know to be wrong.
I'm happy you don't like labels, but I was expecting comments like I was saying from other posters.
How do you know homosexuality is wrong? What infallible truth do you have to show this?

Because nature designed rod B to go into slot A.
That said homosexuality is no more right or wrong than any other mental condition.

Pedophiles can make a conscious decision not to attack children. Homosexuals cannot make the conscious decision to stop from getting aroused by one sex and not the other. From what I can tell there is absolutely nothing they can do to control it.
I see your point, but it is a bit extreme comparing pedophiles to homosexuals.
The infallible truth for me is the bible itself. It is clearly condemned in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. The Apostle Paul who condemned homosexuality as a sin never said it was an unpardonable sin but it was a wrong sinful lifestyle that one needed to turn away from. Paul just didn't focus on homosexuality as wrong but other sins as well. Paul was handpicked by Jesus himself to take the gospel to the Gentiles and what he wrote cannot be dismissed lightly.
Dude, your "infallible" truth is an arguably fictional book. Who is to say your bible is more right than the Koran? You, and like minded people like yourself, that's who. I respect Christians and their beliefs, and I was raised in a catholic family. A lot of good can come from being a Christian and a man of God, but when you start to mix faith and beliefs with fact and reason I cannot side with faith.
We are getting a bit off-topic here. Back to the OP, I think it is absurd that the military may ban this man regardless of his beliefs. For Christ's sake (laughed a bit as I typed that) that is what the men and women in uniform are fighting to protect.

If heterosexual contact was against the law and I realized I would be imprisoned and probably tortured or killed by other inmates I will be forced to choose celibacy. you can't control the desire, you can control your own actions albeit with great difficulty.

It is not off topic because it is the Chaplain's belief in what the bible says over political correctness that got him banned.

Homosexual contact is also not against the law..? I'm assuming you're talking about pedophilia, which is completely different like I said earlier. One is illegal and the other is not. Both could be argued as "wrong" but in one case you are taking advantage of a minor and the other is a consensual act between adults.
So back to my question now that we are on track, if you were not aroused by girls then what would you do? Control your urges for your entire life? What about when your friends catch on that you haven't been with a girl in forever. You cannot fake it obviously because you can't get your prick up in bed for a girl. Put yourself in those shoes for a second and think about it. Having a friend in this situation was really eye opening to me.

I think we were discussing the morality of homosexuality versus the freedom of religion which is what I believe the OP is about. And for the record I completely believe that it is within a chaplain's right to give service to who he sees fit. The bible says homosexuality is wrong, but I know there are gay members of my mother's church.. so do they not get to pray just because they are sinners? We are all sinners. This is not a black and white subject to me

I don't know exactly what you are talking about and it seems you don't either or at the very least you are being unclear. Homosexuality, heterosexuality pedophilia are conditions that apparently cannot be changed. One is against the law, one offends many members of society and one is generally accepted. None of the three can apparently be cured. That's my point.Homosexual contact is also not against the law..?

Again to answer your question if acting upon any urge is outside of our social mores and or against the law your only choice is to abstain from that behavior.

Um no...pedophiles are aroused at the thought of making love (you call it "attacking") to children, an act openly practiced by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Japanese, and who knows who else.....oh and Muslims.
The only reason pedophiles are able make a conscious decision not to "attack" children is because they know their ass could end up in jail.

Actually it refers to prepubescent children. 13 or 14 year olds and up would be a separate classification. Hence pedophilia is an unnatural act considering the need and reasoning of mammals to reproduce.Stuart said:

The first person who made an impact on me with Christianity was a football coach who never once quoted the bible or even mentioned God. There was just something different about him that made me like him. Maybe it was because he was the coach who didn't cuss or swear at the players?? Anyway he is a pastor of a church today and I know now why he was different than the other coaches. I try to follow his example in that actions speak louder than words. I don't try to beat gay people down but I just cannot accept what the bible is against.

The Koran and the bible are a lot more alike than they are different. The main and mostly Retarded conflict largely has to do with who you venerate as a prophet.

Pedophilia involves sexual relations with minors that's do not have the ability to consent. That is why it is clearly different than homosexuality, which involves two consenting adults.
Yes, both are genetic. Everything about you is determined by your genetics. Just because you can't decide whether you're attracted to minors, doesn't mean it should allowed. Again, minors can't consent.
I thought we already settled this discussion?

In the end, taking an old book as your infallible truth, with no other reasoning other than faith, doesn't make much sense to me.
