Your question asks the question everyone has asked at one time or another, GOD, WHY? Why are some born severly retarded? Why are some born only to die within hours of being delivered? Why are some children killed in drowning accidents? Why are some born to abusive parents? Why are some orphaned at 11? Why are some raped at 15? Why are there children in Africa starving to death right now? Why are there orphans on Romania's city streets dying from sniffing glue? Why are there girls selling their bodies in Paraguay? Why are there tornadoes that kill hundreds? Why are there typhoons that kill thousands? Why are there earthquakes that kill hundreds of thousands? And your specific question was: Why are people born with an attraction to boys? Can you answer the "more important" questions above? I think your question is not a very significant question when there are thousands of other WHY questions which puzzle man. However, you want to know why! There is NOT one reason! For each of us is as unique and beautiful in God's eyes as the sparkles of light reflecting off the ocean. For each one of us the reason is different. To be honest, it matter not the reason, for God does love us as much as the baby who dies from AIDS shortly after birth. God loves us as much as the orphans in Romania. God loves us as much as people on death row. God loves us as much as the children starving in Africa. God loves us as much as the "normal" people...the people in society who are "normal" and have the compassion of a rock, because they don't care about these people and events. The "normal" people don't hear the cry of others at night. They will not lift their fingers to assist another human being, but cry if a scratch gets on their new automobile. The "normal" people who have their priorities as straight as the path of a leaf falling off a tree. The "normal" people who are crooked and wicked. For indeed, the "normal" people are blind! The "normal" people get their new van in order to keep up with the Jone's while a kid up the road just lost his entire family in an automobile accident. Yet they do nothing! Ah, the "normal" people...what would the world be without them? A more important question is, "Why are there "normal" people?" ~Once a Boy |
