Like the song goes "So be good for goodness sake"
Seriously, I am trying to figure out where there needs to be an imbalance in the simplistic picture presented in your original post. If you have a voice in your head saying something is wrong, then maybe the lifestyle is just not your thing. Many wander into this form of expression for the wrong reasons, many for the right reasons. And I have seen some folks who (in good conscience, mind you) begin questioning the morality of what they are doing/thinking.
Perhaps you should approach it the way most gay people approach their lifestyle. They take it for granted for the most part these days and view themselves as having been created that way and therefore just as entitled to God's favor as the next. I am sure if most 'religious people' looked at it that way, they wouldn't have to balance much, if anything.
Personally, based on my concept of 'God', I'm not really that concerned with what some Greylien who screwed with the gene pool here eons ago and then left us like some guy who runs off with his secretary[:D] thinks about what I am doing? Why? Cause more than likely, he's dead.
I was raised a catholic, and apart from some pretty sordid fantasies I eventually need to indulge, I am done with theocracy altogether.
Learned years ago while touring with the Dead that you can practice the golden rule without ever thinking of religion. That's one of the best things about being alive in this day and age.
Peace,
Skipp
