What does one do about the moral dilemma? Catholics who are married take the
pill in direct defiance of the Pope's decree. Sex is a strong drive. If I had
to choose between legitimately only having sex with a woman or illegitimately
having sex with a man against social moors and religious instruction - I'd be
sneaking out and having sex with a man. It's one thing to wait until... it is
another entirely to be told that one's desires may never be fulfilled.
Honestly, I have no answer.
You can't reconcile the Hebrew bible (where our morality comes from) and
individual sex drives. If you take the absolutes out of religion, its not religion
any more.

The dilemma is in being religious or not. Nobody has to be coerced to accept
religion, but religions can't morph to reflect individual desires either, or
they erupt into theological anarchy and the religion is gone.

I look at a good marriage with fine children and see the discipline and love
involved in maintaining that and then I see the homosexual agenda fighting for
the right to put sexual desire equal to or above that. It's a matter of the
superior and natural motivation. It doesn't need a proof. Isn't it self evident?
