Just wondering since you believe in free will and choice do you believe you choose to be gay?
Ok, if you look back at my posts, you'll note that I said certain things are predetermined. I agree that a large part of our behavior is determined by genetics, you can't choose to be a blond, black or gay. You can on the other hand, choose to die your hear black or refrain from having intercourse with people of the same sex. That's where free will kicks in.

What if the choices for deciding are detrimental to free will?
I'm afraid I didn't quite understand this. Do you mean if we know a certain choice isn't good for us, that nullifies free will?
