A person who only attends church on Christmas and Easter. Usually of such shallow faith that it is really no faith at all. They are exactly the ones we see spouting off nonsense and thinking that they speak for Christianity when they know little to nothing of real Christianity. They represent a very large portion of America if not a vast majority. Even as far back as Alexis de Tocqueville in 1831 he described American Christianity as a hundred miles wide and an inch deep.
Not so much.
"There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation.[76]
The main reasons cited include genetic and environmental factors, likely in combination.[77][78] Other factors that may play a role include prenatal hormone exposure, where hormones play a role in determining sexual orientation as they do with sex differentiation;[79][80] and prenatal stress on the mother.[81][82][83] The American Psychiatric Association has stated that, "to date there are no replicated scientific studies supporting any specific biological etiology for homosexuality. Similarly, no specific psychosocial or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified, including histories of childhood sexual abuse".[29] Research into how sexual orientation may be determined by genetic or other prenatal factors plays a role in political and social debates about homosexuality, and also raises fears about genetic profiling and prenatal testing.[86]" The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that "sexual orientation probably is not determined by any one factor but by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences"

God may very well have made them that way. It does not mean that He meant for them to have promiscuous sex through glory holes in adult bookstores. Like anyone else they would be expected to live a life they think pleasing to God with careful thought and consideration.
Each gay person must walk his own path in finding God. If he genuinely and honestly finds reconciliation between a gay lifestyle and worship of God - great, then he is worshiping God. If he finds that he must alter his lifestyle to worship God then he would like the rest of us who also alter our lifestyles.
The worst part of all of this is that gay people who would otherwise worship God are driven away by both bigots among the Christian community and their own refusal to get beyond the messenger to the message.
