Hang-on a minute, am I on the aging net?
What is dribble like this doing on what I thought was a Biological 
Science net, for Human Biologists, etc.
First, homosexuality in not a sin in many more countries than the USA, and 
I hope in the minds of most of the people who read this net.  And 
secondly, I thought there was an overwhelming belief in the 
Scientific community that homosexuality will eventually be proved to be 
genetically linked (probably through something on the the X chromosome!).  
What has the Bible got to do with molecular biology and genetics?  They 
are two VERY different subjects that both deserve respect, but should 
NEVER be linked together in a discussion (there are too many 
contradictions) especially around scientists who generally want some kind 
of physical proof.
All you homophobes should try reading the women in science net.  
Sexuality is discussed, but it is never classed "a sin".
