MUST be difficult being God. Those he's made think he's wrong, especially regarding sex, as we've noted recently.

Why only Adam and Eve? Why not Adam and Steve? So politically incorrect. Worse! Time and again, he inspired his biblical spokesmen to condemn homosexuality.

Most unforgivable, he stepped into history in Jesus and still failed to set the gay record straight. Not a hint. Reams on men, women and marriage. Not a peep on gays.

Is God homophobic? Or, is it that a loving Creator of men, women and sex is gently guiding us his way? Go forth and multiply! ran his delightful commandment. Difficult for an Adam and Steve.

Then, there's the Lego test. Designers usually intend their creations to fit into each other with reasonable ease.

Next, the society test. Populating planets becomes difficult when your people producers go on strike

This week's mammoth Manchester Mardi Gras illustrates the recent gay explosion, and I don't believe it's all from the closet. Gay friends insist sex preferences are fixed at birth. The evidence contradicts.

Sex drives come in all speeds. Some race with F1 fury in definite directions. Then, there are the meanders. Others, especially at puberty, idle in the pits, wondering which way to go round. Gay signposts tempt.

Past civilisations also prove that we're open to persuasion. The man/woman thing ran a poor third to man/man and man/boy a classic cause for decline and fall, say some.

Maybe, God, our hate-sin/love-the-sinner deity, knows what's what when it comes to sex.
