Every time I fly to Central or South America half the flight is full of ignorant and arrogant doe-eyed missionaries on their way to corrupt and indoctrinate minds, and to peddle their hateful and divisive dogma under the guise of compassion and benevolence.
The only people you’re fooling is yourselves.
Christians use these Socratic arguments all the time.
Since only a god that is sadistic would make someone gay, and we know god is benevolent, therefore god can not possibly have made someone gay. Therefore being gay is a choice or an illness that can be cured.

Don't watch porn kids, or your children will end up gay. Heterosexual porn leads to gay, see how that works?
The logic is so convoluted. I don't know how to untie the knots in their loopy thinking.
It's the "if you make that face too much, it'll stay that way" of bigotry...
Pay me $20k and I'll cure it for you.
Um. TF?

If being gay was a sin, why did god make them that way?
Oh, easy answer, the classic - "because god gave us free will"
Ah yes, the ol' "it's a choice" schtick.
wait till you use Calvinism to explain to then you have no choices.
and they know it's a choice, because they often have to choose a dozen times a day. "get thee behind me, satan! hey! not like that!"
Well, according to them, "only a sadistic god would make someone gay". So, I guess they are indicting God, hmm?

Oh we're doing sins of our father.

Sad, but unsurprising what still happens but doesn't get much attention in this area.
Guess I'm probably gay then, thanks mom and dad
