Both of you, please calm down several degrees.
Yes, yaoi and homosexuality in general is wrong. I am not arguing that.
However, applying adjectives such as those you have used to people who do consider themselves to be homosexuals will accomplish nothing, and can do a great deal of harm. Most people already think Christians hate their guts, and if they looked at what you posted, they'd probably find confirmation for that. The number of people who have been converted to Christianity by being called poopheads is pretty low.
You asked who comes up with this stuff. Let me answer you. Whether you wish to believe it is a genetic, social or developed characteristic, there do exist a great many people who have homosexual leanings, in both genders. These, regardless of origin, can be extremely hard to get rid of. In some cases it is arguable that such is completely impossible.
Of course, many other people have inherent sinful natures as well. Some people are prone to lying, others to pedophilia, some to irrational violence, etc. Each of us as Christians has our own cross to bear. But that doesn't mean we have any right to heckle other people for theirs, or do our best to trip them up in their walk.
Have either of you ever heard of "hate the sin, love the sinner?" It might be cliche, but please keep it in mind. I don't like it when someone is being prideful, but that doesn't mean I have to jump on their backs about it. The point is to be helpful to that person as a Christian, not attack them.
That being said, I have been taken off guard by random yaoi as well. It can be quite annoying. Once, male/male friendships were purer than male/female ones, because there was never any romantic assumptions to be made. Now, that isn't so, and I find myself on edge while reading anything...
I'm sorry everyone who has been posting in here, I'm a slacker.
just PM me here. And don't stop PMing me until I give you access!
