Homosexuality

I go to a youth group in College Church, and last week my leader raised up a controversial issue that still bugs me today: homosexuality.

First, I need to point out that I'm not a homosexual. Second, even though I do follow Jesus Christ and the church's views, this is probably one out of the few that I don't agree with. I don't see anything wrong with homosexuality at all. I'm not saying I'm pro-homosexuality, I just need a solid reason as to why it's wrong.

The church defines that homosexuality, adultery, and rape is frowned upon. Yes, I can understand how adultery and rape is; but homosexuality? What's wrong with loving the person of the same sex? It is strange, I know, but once you get over that factor, there's nothing wrong with it. It really bothers me when I ask people about it, they say "It's bad," or "It's gross," without any facts supporting it.

As I noticed while I was watching the news, everyone's focus is on homosexuality. What about rape? Or murder? It seems like we are making a huge deal about giving rights to gays/lesbians and not about trying to prevent violence in this world. Okay, seriously, out there, people are dying, secretly smuggling drugs, killing everyone, and we choose to focus more on rights for homosexuality than preventing violence. Let me get this across: THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO, AND THEY JUST LIKE PEOPLE OF THE SAME SEX. How do they harm us in any way? Seriously, just give them the rights. They aren't going to bomb us or anything.

So, in conclusion, these are my views on homosexuality, and how I think there's nothing wrong with them. But, if you have a good reason why it's not right, I'll be happy to listen. :)

Yoga

So I was wondering the other day which yoga class to take: Bikram Yoga or regular Yoga.

Bikram Yoga is basically heated yoga, where you do yoga in a 110 degree room. You have to be hydrated well enough, so you won't die or pass out or anything. The class is 90 minutes, and I personally think it's more effective because you sweat a lot, thus removing lots and lots of more toxins than regular yoga. Plus, you would be able to be more flexible while taking this class because the heat warms up the whole body and makes the joints looser.

Yoga, on the other hand is in a regular room that isn't as intense. Regular yoga does improve flexibility, but I'm afraid it won't remove that many toxins as it will if I do Bikram.

Tell me what you think!
