I am a life-time Lutheran. I understand the church's support of marriage between a man and a woman - though, frankly, the Bible seems to support marriage between a man and multiple women. I have great issue with my church calling upon its congregation to pray for people "struggling with same-sex attraction." Are we really a church that believes that homosexuality is a choice? Martin Luther railed against the Catholic church for keeping its people in the dark and for hanging onto archaic positions and teachings. Science and sociology tells us that homosexuality is not a choice. Are we going to demonize homosexuality as churches before us once deomonized interracial marriage? Shame on us for not sticking to God's 10 Commandments and Jesus' teachings: love one another and believe in Him. Why would we venture beyond those?
