Christianity Etc › WIT Study Shows At Least 95% Of Homosexuals Are Catholic by davien(op): 9:56pm On Jul 15, 2015
A controversial new study, conducted at the Wyoming Institute of Technology, reveals at least ninety-five percent of all homosexual persons are currently or have formerly been devout Catholics. In modern day America, it has become a normal occurrence for any lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, or quad-sexual person to be shamed by nearly all religious organizations.

Dr. Danielle Huggins, WIT, participated in the study. “Our examination of devoutly religious homosexuals will change the face of homosexuality and equality in the nation,” she says. “It may be a good thing, but I feel as though homosexuals will be more under fire than they already are. Wouldn’t you be upset, if you found out the person you just sat next to during Sunday service is one half to a same-sex couple?”

Dr. Huggins affirms the study focused on homosexual persons and same-sex couples throughout the nation. The individuals in participation were given complex surveys on their religious beliefs, lifestyle habits, and sexual orientation. They were asked in detail, how they felt their religion played a part in every day life.

“I feel like I should be able to go to church and have faith in the things I believe in without being judged,” says Stacie Beckworth, a WIT survey participant. “I’m a committed Catholic, and I feel like it’s nobody else’s business what I do in my personal life. Having a girlfriend does not make me any less of a person. I believe in God, and I want for God’s people to believe in me. That’s all.”

“I left the Catholic following, because I’m gay,” says Sarah Baxter, who is another contributor to the study. “I joined a Baptist Church, and have told nobody about my sexual orientation. The Catholic Church shunned me so bad; it hurt. I want to be the same religious person I always have been. I guess I just have to omit the truth about myself to do so. It’s not fair.”

In conclusion, WIT was able to determine out of the ninety-five percent of Catholic homosexuals, an astonishing seventy-eight percent have left the Catholic religion and taken their faith elsewhere. Currently, only ten-percent of homosexuals are non-denominational, while sixteen percent are Protestant, and a whopping fifty-two percent have converted to Baptist. Seventeen percent of homosexuals have either remained committed to the Catholic religion, or have stopped attending religious services all together.

Any homosexual persons interested in contributing to this study can call (785) 272-4135 Monday through Friday 8:00AM to 5:00PM CDT for participation information.

Understanding the nature of God through the bible ? I am the Apha and Omega the beginning and the end , the first and the last .

God says he is the creator of all things- clearly written in the bible . Am a christian so that's the strength of my belief in God .
So a bible verse debunks polytheism? grin lol


Lmfao ... who the hell says that earth is the only habitable planet in the universe - I only use this during arguments . There is one proof that there are aliens (Other creations of God in different planets ) , I think ,

"Let us create man in our image and likeness "

How about we have created different intelligent forms of life in different planets , let us make one that looks like us . smiley wink

Only a close-minded christian would think that God limited his power of creation to the earth only .

Lots of revelations and discoveries about these things will be made known to us during Christ's millennial rule
I think you need to reread my post...the condensed version is that why should their be an infinite number of galaxies,suns,asteroids,planets,moons,etc only for one to be at the center stage for just one god?(polytheism argument)

This question is not for me ,but ...

1."Too many cooks spoil the broth " ,

2."There can't be two captains in a ship, "

There has to be the greatest of all ; even in various systems in life , there's a hierarchy and

Have you asked yourself why people have many gods , some people feel different needs and desires have to be met by different beings . They also feel or believe different natural bodies or forces are being controlled by different supernatural brings because of their differences . Eg the sun shines or because its presence is paramount to the continuation of life , their existence therefore there should be a god in control of that , it rains - the plants need water , they need to eat for survival therefore there should be a god in charge of that etc , same for thunder , lightening , planets .

As a monotheist , I believe one God is responsible for everything in relation to 1 , 2 or both . In addition , personal experiences- miracles , healings and the study of the bible - cemented my belief in one God
You are skipping the question...the universe isn't a ship nor a dish...and can't terms like a "board of directors" also be used by a polytheist?...And specialization....or "one can't be a master of everything"....or "you can't eat your cake and have it"

Lets say a polytheist asks you why the universe has billions of galaxies with billions of stars and billions of planets if it's only 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of it that matters to the creator,what would you say?

Well yes, one can trace ancestry through genes but only for a species. Tracing ancestry of vastly different species to a common ancestor via genetics is absurd.
lol grin absurd?....It shouldn't work if there aren't any common ancestors but it does,it's even used to predict migrations of ancestral homonid populations with ease....how do you think we got mitochondrial eve and an understanding of why it(mitochondrial DNA) is passed down exclusively by mother's? grin

*sigh* ... how about sitting down and making a good research on the examples I gave you . Why do they share some facial similarity but not in any way ever related and it has been proven these people are not related .
Because people don't just look at fossils and say off-hand whats related and what's not....they make charts based on DNA...

Please is this difficult to understand :

People who share striking resemblance have been proven not to be related in any way .

Bringing the father-son comparison is just a facetious attempt to digress from the issue at hand - similarity is not an evidence of evolution
I know what you mean KEB...but you and i know that DNA is what proves ancestry and has the strongest stand in determining anything...in a court of law,that can even lead to a life or death situation...

So what ? That doesn't mean all humans came from a single ancestor. It's funny how evolutionists scoff at Adam and Eve and actually hold the more extreme posiition that all life resulted from a universal ancestor.
That's exclusively what it means....your mix of genes had an ancestor did it not...i've not even gotten into theology yet...we're still in biology..

Even if you believe in a creator,your genes can be traced through a myriad of ancestors which i and everyone shared...that's factual dude...unless you also want to say similarity means nothing,and i'd include you in KEB's palava of not having a Dad or Mum..lol grin

Am sure this comment does not make sense even to you . Please keep shut and dont embarrass yourself , Thanks
I can see i struck a nerve...similarity means nothing now....so the only person with similar DNA to you isn't related to you,by your logic you're an orphan or a mutant,lol.... grin

I don't get huh
Here's an educative piece on the variation of our genomes... @Kingebukasblog


Just as you can look at two people and tell that they are different,you could, with the proper chemicals and laboratory equipment, look at the genomes of two people and tell that they are different, too. In fact, people are unique in large part because their genomes are unique.


There are more than three million differences between your genome and anyone else's. On the other hand, we are all 99.9 percent the same, DNA-wise

Just to keep things in perspective the purpose of this thread was to argue for God as generally understood (by theists and deists), the Creator of the universe. I think one must first get atheists to accepting there's a God before arguing for why it has to be the God of a religion. As it is getting a deist out of an atheist is as difficult as turning lead into gold, or as Jesus said, getting a camel through a needle's eye.
I agree....

no they are not ... you are missing the point . My point was similarity means nothing , comparing the anatomy of ape and man does not mean evolution took place .
So also by the same logic if i compare your father's DNA to yours and it's similar it means nothing,you have no father then..your birth didn't take place.. grin

Wrong. People can look similar and yet have different ancestry and different DNA. That's the point.
Humans only have less than 1% variation...does that make them "not human"? undecided impeccable logic grin

Lol.. That got me cracking "rehabilitation center as a church". But you know church in the conventional sense is even a rehabilitation center. Afterall they are trying to purify sinner to be acceptable to God just like rehabilitation center is to equip a person so he can acceptable to the society.

Good point my friend.

You no still get my point as regard hate. I did not state you said kill or sth. It was just an example of the type of hate I was referring to.. Funny guy cheesy
Like i said,anything can fit the definition of a church if the term is broadened or loosened and you've done just that... grin

The hypocritical part of that is atheists have never needed a sound scientific alternative to laugh at ID. I mean anicheibo, davien and others were quite happy to say "i dont know" when we asked for a sound scientific alternative to ID even though they felt ID was baseless...
How is having an alternative necessary before pointing out baseless things.... aristotelian theory of gravity was baseless long before newtons' came along.... .
