How should I percieve homosexuals?

Today, I briefly look up on the net about Christianity and homosexuality. Now, I myself can't judge on whether I should reject homosexuality(not that I'm homosexual. I like girls, and I like it when they like me), as this is such a controversial issue and as I haven't properly encountered a homosexual yet.

Well, I knew that God condemns homosexuality in the Bible. Someone argued that while we should reject homosexuality, we shouldn't condemn homosexuals, as God loved everyone, including sinners. We have to pray for them and hope that they may reject homosexuality and return to God. That's one person's opinion.

Someone else said that homosexuality is a choice you make. Like choosing to take alcohol, smoking or drugs, it's something that you choose to take. Then are people homosexuals because homosexuality is addictive? Also, someone mentioned that you are not born gay, but you learn to be gay(like you learn smoking). I'm pretty confused on this issue - the defenders of homosexuality are claiming that homosexuals can't help being what they are, as it is their nature.

What am I supposed to think, what am I supposed to believe?

I'll have to meet one soon...

PS. I wonder what it would be like a homosexual who wants to believe in God...

A New Beginning

I am a Christian.

I have been a Christian since the day I was born, and I have hardly missed church on Sundays in my life. My father is a pastor. I served as the president of the youth group of my church for one year and I am currently leading the praise team for my church. Every morning after I get up, before doing anything else, I read the bible for several minutes and and try to understand what God is trying to say to me for that day. Thus you can see that I have a very firm foundation on God.

However, as I grow up(I'm 17 now), I meet more and more people and understand that lots of people don't share my beliefs and views life in a completely different way as I do. I used to be so sure what I believed in was the undeniable truth, but then I found other people who thought the same with their own beliefs. That got me thinking, "There can't be a number of truths, but only one. Am I right in what I believe in? If so, other people are pursuing something in vain. What makes them believe in what they believe? The people they get to meet? Their culture? Their race? Or are they actually correct, whereas I am wrong?"

I think I'm reaching adolescence at the age of 17, which could possibly explain why I'm experiencing this confusion :-). So I am going to begin my quest for the truth, to find out whether what I believe is the truth and hear what other people has to say on what they believe is the truth. It's going to be a lengthy journey!
