Unless you think they can?

That's a really good point. I think a lot of sexuality experts agree that it's virtually impossible to change one's sexual orientation. So you could argue that God "made" people that way, couldn't you?

I think that to a Christian also needs to believe that Jesus died for our salvation, thus giving us eternal life in Heaven. Actually, probably most of the what's detailed in the Nicene Creed are fundamental Christian beliefs.
