Philo, I have no doubt that some men are aroused by both naked men and naked women... some men also get aroused when watching animals having sex with other animals, but that doesn't mean they want to have sex with animals!

That wasn't what I asked about anyway... please read my questions again above.

You have absolutely no proof about any of your statements, other than what your religious friends/beliefs told you.

Why don't you think for yourself instead?
Or are you too frightened by what you might find?

JonJ, if that were the situation/case, how on earth would people learn, grow, love and have compassion for any other person in order for their souls to evolve spiritually?

For instance, if God had intervened stopping my first cousin from drowning, or my first cousin from dying at 7 years of age (17 years ago) from a neurological condition, how would any of our extended families, friends and the community have felt love in their heart, deep compassion or posed questions as to why these two beautiful kids died so early and unfairly compared to us as adults?

At the time and over the years I have prayed each year for my deceased young cousins 'siblings and parents/immediate family. One cousin's family being non-believers and the strong urge was there for me to pray, asking that their hearts lighten and heal quickly, in order for them to live their lives with positive strength and determination.

Example: if people did not die, how would any person feel the depth of love and compassion for other people, attempt to change legislation on issues, attempt to improve or implement humanitarian rights or conditions, and all of the other positive kind good works emanated from compassion or love felt in people's hearts and minds?

I know one thing JonJ. There has to be a higher reason for children dying young when we as adults are still around enjoying the opportunity to live. When its our turn, the answers undoubtedly,will be glaringly obvious - white bright lights I hope!

No religion followed.

Choices are made in situations, victims of circumstances in others, yet in my experience of my own life, too many de-jevu incidents occur and far too 'co-incidental'.

In a nutshell, my personal belief is that our souls/subconscious/minds 'choose' major life events whichever way one cares to look at the issue of the 'surface negatives and horrors' that befall peoples families, friends, work colleagues and acquaintances.

"JonJ, if that were the situation/case, how on earth would people learn, grow, love and have compassion for any other person in order for their souls to evolve spiritually?"

Easy -- God would make it happen. God can do anything, remember? If he wanted souls to evolve then it would happen, right?

Or are you saying God is NOT all-powerful?

" if God had intervened ... how would any of our extended families, friends and the community have felt love in their heart, deep compassion"

One would hope there as love and compassion before children die.

"There has to be a higher reason for children dying young when we as adults are still around enjoying the opportunity to live"

No there doesn't. Otherwise you are blaming the higher reason.

suzeonline,
I find your comment offensive - to say I do not think for myself. The research was done by professors in a sexual clinic in the USA and the article was written up in a journal on "Body Health" which my Dr has. Next time I visit I will ask the receptionist to photocopy the article.

Homosexual men are equally aroused by the presence of nude females and their sexual immagination is as equally active.

"This demonstrated that the decisions these Gay men made was purely of their mind and not of their genetics."

No it doesn't mean anything about decisions or imaginations.

Stop being in a fluster and sophistry about homosexuality.
