The final report of the Baptist Union of Western Australia (BUWA) Task Force on Human Sexuality states “that a person becomes a homosexual ultimately by choosing to be involved in same-sex activity… This is in contrast to innate characteristics such as gender and ethnicity.”
7 The report affirms that “the Bible is clear that sin involves choice, and it unequivocally condemns homosexual behavior as sin.”

I love not only that they had to form a "Task Force" to spew idiocy people have been vomiting out of their butts for years, but also the "logic" itself: they redefine "homosexuality" to mean "sex with another guy", the same way I could redefine "Afro-American" as "a poverty-stricken single parent whose children will grow up to become thugs", and on this basis say Afro-Americans shouldn't be allowed to have sex or marry.
And not only is is an illogical statement, but it also conflicts with their stance that words shouldn't be redefined ("oh my god, marriage is
by definition between a man and a woman!").
If you can't redefine words, then stop saying that homosexuality means something else than the sexual attraction to your own gender.
The best part, of course, is that they redefine homosexuality to mean something else than homosexuality, for then to subtly use the attributes of the new definition to attack homosexuality. It's like me saying:
1. Israelis = People ruling the People's Republic of China.
2. People ruling the PRC are bad.
3. Therefore, Israelis, that is, people residing in Israel, are bad.
Effect on others
Secular psychologists assure us that 'children raised in lesbian and gay households are similar to children raised in heterosexual households on characteristics such as intelligence, development, moral judgments, self-concepts, social competence and gender identity'.
6 The humanists have, however, forgotten one important ingredient.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (
Proverbs 22:6).
Oh. My. God.
They
admit that children in homosexual households far just as well or better than those in heterosexual households, but they're still opposed to gay adoption and use as their reasoning a Bible verse taken out of context?!
You cannot faithfully teach God's Word to your children while living a lifestyle specifically condemned by
God's Word. All Christians are
sinners forgiven by God's
grace, but living in a homosexual relationship constitutes habitual,
unrepented sin.
First of all,
all of today's Christians "live a lifestyle specifically condemned by God's Word", because there's so much **** in the Old Testament that you can't follow more than a tiny fraction of it without being sent to Guantanamo Bay.
Then they go on to stating that gays are "habitual, unrepented sinners"
in the same sentence they state that all sinners are forgiven.
After reading a fraction of that, I'm starting to
seriously wonder if it's a sarcastic parody.
