Life After Peace Corps - Homosexuality, God's Will?

December 14, 2012
Although I am not against Homosexual, I never thought that the behavior was natural or normal until I stumbled upon this article:
Among plants, sometimes flowers possess both male and female sex organs, sometimes they are unisexual and on different plants, sometimes unisexual and on the same plants, sometimes flowers are designed so they can't self-pollinate, other times they have to pollinate themselves, and some plants skip the sex scene altogether by reproducing vegetatively.

Among animals we find everything from the male seahorse who carries the eggs, hatches them and takes care of the young, to the "polyandrous" Spotted Sandpiper whose females may lay up to four nests in a season, each equipped with a different male incubating the eggs. Of course, the common earthworm is both male and female, and some snails sometimes mate with themselves, producing offspring.
The higher up the evolutionary scale you go, the kinkier it all gets. Among communities of mice and other mammals, when population density reaches a certain high level where diseases and famine threaten, not only does homosexual behavior appear but also parents begin killing their own offspring. It's always the case that the Creator chooses the welfare of the community over that of the individual.

In short, it is simply wrong to say that homosexual behavior is never natural.

I share this article with my religious friend.  He argues that according to the bible; homosexuality is not an acceptable behavior in the eyes of God.  I scratch my head and wonder, if god is the creator of the natural world, everything in nature surely is his intention, right?  He disagrees!
That is exactly the problem I have with religious.  I have many religious friends and they go to church 3-4 times a week, speak of how wonderful God is, how they love God, but do they truly understand God or they just blindly accept God.
My relationship with ‘God” has been consistent. I believe there is “something” out there.  Some people call it “God”, I would rather call it “secret power”.  Some people like to use bible to express God's will, I would rather be with nature and let “God” show me his words.   

If there is a “God”, I truly believe I will find him in the woods someday.  My friend Derrick did, he met God when he climbed Macho Picchu in Peru.   
The place seemed holy, where one might hope to see God.
John Muir
This is the experience I am waiting for.  When I see him, I will have tons of questions for him, including this one, homosexuality.

Whatever everyone's belief is, whether it is from bible or from the nature, I can assure you that I am only attracted to young single girls. Although none have yet accepted me, I will never stop my hunting.
