In Reply to: What about a bisexual? - half sinner/half not?

That bright shiny new car in my neighbor's driveway would make me happy. I think I will just go hotwire it and drive away in it. After all, if God wants me to be happy, then it's okay, right?

Or maybe that married guy down at the auto part store just really makes my motor run. I think I will just seduce him and have an affair with him and cause his marriage to break up. God said he wants me to be happy, right?

My neighbor is building an addition to his house....and he is doing all the work in the middle of the night and I can't sleep for the hammering and sawing. I think I will just go over and kill him and then I will be happy that I can finally sleep. God wants me to be happy, right?

WRONG!!!

Can you see the flaw in this line of reasoning? God gave us laws by which to live and wants us to follow these laws. If everyone did follow these laws, then everyone would be happy. However, thiefs, adulterers, murderers, and yes, even gays, choose not to follow the laws. Christians sometimes do not follow the laws either, in case you were about to point that out. Until this world/nation gets back to the Bible, no one will truly be happy, and I am sorry to say that I don't see that happening anytime soon.
