People criticize Christianity due to the negative psychic influence of Ahriman's hordes and the influence of the Zionists on the media.

Don't be silly. Goebbels was the genius, Hitler merely the strawman.

O for fuck sake.

Homosexuality is not caused by a defect. It's not caused by anything! In the same way that heterosexuality isn't caused by anything.

The whole defect myth was entirely invented by bigots that wanted to make homosexuality seem 'wrong', and to repeat that piece of bullshit makes you just as much a bigot as those who invented this morally and factually wrong 'theory'.

It's the difference between trying to do your best to drive the Yugo you have in your garage, and designing a crappy car.

Parents can't control building an in-ground pool in their yard?

Until we are able to order a child with exact specifications from a testtube, the comparison breaks down. You, as a parent, can not deliberately set out to design a flawed child. Yet.

God could.

Perhaps a better analogy:
Suppose you deliberately blindfold a child and let it walk the street. Then suddenly you rip the blindfold off and tell the child he deserves punishment for ignoring a red light.

Are you being reasonable ?

Wow. So was that what God did when he said, "You can have fruit from any tree but that one, right over there... yes, THAT one?"

While I'm not trying to say that homosexuality is wrong, it probably is some sort of defect. Sexuality exists for the purpose of reproduction. With homosexuality it doesn't work, which makes it pointless. There's a reason why only 1% of the population is gay.

Source that only one percent is gay?

Also, you seem to have the common misconception that homosexuals are sterile. Homosexuals can, indeed, reproduce.

I don't know. I do not know the difference between right and wrong, and as such do not know that disobedience is wrong.
Which God of course DID know.

You're right of course; I am an accredited scientist and I can assure you, homosexuality is caused by both a mental imbalance in the brain, due to an accumulation of the sanguine and choleric humours, and the environment. Bloodletting and the administration of certain emetics have been proven to treat "homosexuality" of the first kind, while a simple harsh talk and psychological treatment cures the second.

It kind of challenges the idea that he is all knowing if he couldn't predict that Adam and Eve would succumb to temptation.

If you were truly a scientist as you claim, you'd know that none of what you said is true, and your so-called treatments generally only cause real problems.

A mental imbalance in the brain? Please define what mental is. Is it some kind of substance that can be measured, and therefore be balanced or imbalanced?

So, I take it you have, you know, never actually bothered to research what biologists think about this I take it ? Never considered that other people could think of reasons to be gay that are not a defect as such, but actually improve the chances of reproduction ?

There are many publications on this and several hypotheses - impossible to miss for anyone who is not arrogant enough to think that "if they cannot think of something, noone can".

"Mental" is an an adjective referring to "mens" - the mind. It is not a substance, but a modifier of a noun - in this case, "imbalance".
