gollark: I mean, we *are* born with... brain things... which make us susceptible *to* belief in god.
gollark: I'm putting "wants" in quotes because evolution isn't an agent and doesn't literally "want" anything.
gollark: Duckduckgo it.
gollark: While I don't think "does evolution 'want' this" is the same thing as "is this good", if homosexuality was *really* bad for everyone it presumably would have been "evolved out" a while ago.
