Hey there.
Don't worry, I know that you're not trying to pick a fight and neither am I. I was simply defending my argument. I appreciated what you said.
But also, don't assume things. I'm a Christian also, born and bred Baptist. So I know the Christian views and there are more than 1, and I know the homosexual views which are also more than one.
If you would like to continue against my argument it's fine with me, I would just rather not use all of my comment space.

"...Uhm, you happen to have been brought up, I would presume, in the Christian faith. You know what it's like to not believe in a particular faith because you're not a Muslim. You're not a Hindu. Why aren't you a Hindu? Because you happen to have been brought up in America, not in India. If you had of been brought up in India, you'd be a Hindu. If you had been brought up in... in uh... Denmark in the time of the Vikings you'd be believing in Wotan and Thor. If you were brought up in classical Greece you'd be believing in, in Zeus. If you were brought up in central Africa you'd be believing in the great w:Juju up the mountain. There's no particular reason to pick on the Judeo-Christian god, in which by the sheerest accident you happen to have been brought up..."

You were not born Baptist. You were born faithless to Baptist Parents who taught you what to believe in.

If you're going to claim something to be wrong, the smart move would be to explain why it's wrong, otherwise, your claim is as valid as the belief in god.
How is it wrong, then?
You are born faithless. If your parents were Atheists, you'd be faithless (until you choose what religion, or lack of it, to believe), too. If they were Jewish, you'd be raised as a Jew. If they were Muslim, you'd be raised as a Muslim. If they were Indian, you'd be raised as a Hindu. It just so happens to be your parents are Americans of Christians faith, and not, say Americans of Muslim faith - but you are not born with belief, you are born with no knowledge about anything, you acquire it, just as you acquire belief by what you are taught.

NO WAI, when she popped out of mommy's vagoogoo, she was a Baptist! Hoooraaay!
I assure you, it's just a coincidence that her parents are also Baptist.

Her parents weren't born Baptist as well, and neither did her grandparents.
What probably happened is, at some point, one of her ancestors chose this path in Christianity, and taught his/her children to believe in it to, and so forth and so forth.

Learn the English language before you attempt to correct someone. There is more than one way to understand that sentence.
