As a species our DNA wants to replicate itself and pass itself down to offspring. How does homosexuality help accomplish that goal?" right, have you ever considered that homosexuality might just be a facet of nature you don't like? Have you ever considered that maybe its becoming more prevalent as our populations grow unchecked? Also, if you quit offering oral sex to strange men in bathrooms, you might have less homosexuality shoved down your throat. the lights are on, but the closet door is shut.

It doesn't matter how many times anyone says that lack of belief is a belief, it won`t become true. The theory of "god" cannot be disproven, or disproven, until there is factual scientific evidence one way or the other, which is impossible given the superpowers this supreme being is capable of. This argument will go on forever, can we quit talking about it outside of church? Anyway, if there was solid evidence that god didnt exist, it would not be a belief, but the fact remains that the only guarantee in life is that you exist, everything else could, conceivably, be a figment of your imagination, i choose to believe that what i see is real, but cannot stretch my mind to believe in the immaterial, i mean, your parents lied about santa, and the easter bunny, too.
