I wonder what characterizes the brains of bisexuals.

This story is the sort of thing that gays use to justify their behavior.
They say that (A) they were destined from birth to have this orientation
and A implies (B) they are justified in behaving as they do. It appears
that many Christians agree with the second statement (A=>B) since they
focus on challenging A rather than challenging A=>B. Does having a certain
temptation make it all right to give in to it? For example, is having a
genetic predisposition to alcoholism a valid justification for
drunkenness?

Another question that could be raised on the basis of the conclusion of
this study is whether it takes a miracle of healing to change orientation.
