As someone not gay and no longer in CS, I believe from my reseach that homosexuality is almost always a biologically made decision made while one is still in their mother's womb. I didn't face making a 'choice' about sexual orientation & I do not think very many people do. I think people need to be open to this possible biological reason for homosexuality.

Thank you for this video. It is so wonderful to hear young Christian Scientists speak out about homophobia. You are all wonderful, beautiful and courageous people. I am so grateful to all of you.

@TheBronagh Calling CS "Mary Baker Eddyism" implies that it has anything whatsoever to do with Mrs. Eddy, besides of course her dictation. It does not.

The major problem that the Christian Science Church and Christian Science has currently is an immense confusion over what it is and what it does. Christian Science is open to individual application to a person's life, and it is NOT for everybody.

One could argue that Christianity is based on a fairy tale. That does not render it meaningless.

@DocHymes Myopia is something you know something about. Your the one who publically proclaims your ignorance & the myopic clique your a proud member of. Historical facts change when new evidence emerges. Declaring 'Truths' because some dead 19th century crank said so & you bought into it, just shows your preoccupation with outdated ideas. You resorted to insults last time because you could not think of any idea that held any weight to it.

@TheBronagh Report me for what ? name calling ?? where  ? How about this, how about we report you and the rest of your myopic cadre for slander, defamation of character, and distortion of historical facts. The fact that you have to publicly proclaim your ignorance is germane to you willful disregard of historical accuracy. As for my last "private mesage" you mean setting the record straight about Quimby. Let me publish the last note i send you so we can shed some truth on the subject.

@DocHymes LOL! A straight guy telling gay people that they do not understand homosexuality. Priceless. Too funny. This is rich. And never send me a private message again after that disgusting, name-calling, misogynistic one you last sent. You try that again & I'll report you!

@TheBronagh lolumad?

[TheBronagh]

@TheTrueDemosthenes No, CS does not have a "proven record." They print testimonies on hearsay reccommendations that could be fellow churchmembers, delusional aquaintances, etc, One could have a deliberate method for robbing banks; that would not be 'scientific.' You have been sold a faulty belief-system which is what Mary Baker Eddyism really is.

[DocHymes]

Sorry, but it is a "preference" that is based on perversion. The idea that Christian Science abdicates or condones homosexuality is a gross misunderstanding of the teachings (of Christian Science. Christian Science is grounded on and in Biblical teachings. One need not look any further than the woman taken in adultary .. Jesus said "go and sin no more." after forgiving her .. Being involved in and promoting relationships that are contrary to Biblical teachings is immoral and Blasphemous.

Great Video - I would strongly recommend putting the word "Christian Science" at the beginning of your title so it will rank high when people search youtube for "christian homophobia" etc.
