The cure for homosexuality: solution that brought him out of 'gay' life

Because I'd wager that Buddhists are less than two percent of the population; and they're worshipping a false God, which violates the First Commandment, which makes their behavior immoral

Freedom of religion is covered in the Constitution and while not exactly what the Founders had in mind from their belief systems, it still has been addressed by SCOTUS. Sodomy on the other hand has also been addressed by SCOTUS and the laws in effect against it have been found not to be unconstitutional. The only way you would get SCOTUS to change would be to hope for a liberal POTUS to be elected who would believe in such drivel to appoint judges to overturn such laws. And while Bush has become quite liberal on some issues in the past few months, I don't think he's that liberal

In the case of a person who breaks free of the homosexual lifestyle there is an added bonus in the here-and-now, for he escapes a disease-ridden and grossly dysfunctional way of life that can never truly satisfy because it is a wholly counterfeit way of life. It is wonderful that the author of this piece escaped a lie and found Life.

Amen.

A group of church leaders in Little Rock Arkansaw put an ad in the paper: "Learn how to be a man, Meeting at 6am on Wednesdays". 1,000 men showed up.........The need is great, read the article on Noble Masculinity again.

I want my sons to grow up to be noble, masculine men.

But what about people who are comfortable and fulfilled in gay relationships?

Sure, just as there are alcoholics who are quite happy to down a quart of vodka every day, and don't want anyone interfering with their lifestyle. But don't preach that condition as good and normal and something to be glorified and experimented with - particularly to impressionable kids. This is what's being done in schools (against parents' wishes) and in the theater and in many other places as well. Such is a form of child abuse.

I think the message that he's putting forward is that for many homoesexuals, change is possible. Studies (including recent ones) have certainly shown that. I've met a lot of homosexuals who wish they were straight and could live lives with wives and children. It's horrendous to not even allow people to tell them that change might be possible for them - yet those who do are excoriated by the homosexual community.

No Emmylou. I don't think that people who find happiness as a result of a serious disorder should encourage others (particularly my kids!) to consider that disorder as normal or good. Homosexuals have a right to live their lives as they see fit. They don't have a right to mess with the lives of my kids (as in Boy Scouts, the Catholic Church, our schools, etc. etc.). Unfortunately, many homosexuals seem intent on interfering with the raising of my kids (or actually gaining physcial access to them) and with what I teach them. I am angry about that - along with millions of other parents.

"So you think this was a better nation before the abolition of slavery, the passage of women's suffrage, and the civil rights movement?"

That's an incredibly stupid question. I believe that every human being, male, female, slave, free, black, white, straight and gay should be afforded the same rights under the law.

I don't believe in special priviledges for any group. I don't believe in quotas for racial minorities. I don't believe in laws that would codify a woman's right to equal pay for equal work. I don't believe in laws that would redefine marriage to allow those in same-sex partnerships the same legal status as marrieds.

But that's not my point. My point is that American society in 2002 is in severe decline. As a conservative I'm interested in conserving the things that the Founders of our nation found essential to our country's stability.

You, on the other hand, seem to be interested in "progress" for "progress"' sake. How the proliferation of sodomy and homosexuality contributes to anything resembling "progress" is unfathomable.

[Republic]

I don't. I think they should quit because it is dangerous, unhealthy, morally corrupt and mostly, because it is a 'abomination before God'. This article points out a method to stopping the disgusting behavior. Pretty neat. When a door slams shut, you can depend upon God to open a window. For sure!

May the Lord bless you and yours and wash away your pain.

[justshutupandtakeit]

The author used that term for dramatic and ironic effects.

But don't let that stop you from "Fire, Ready, Aim."

[justshutupandtakeit]

That is why the word "gay" was chosed by the propagandists, as a mask for the most Ungay lifestyle imaginable.

I'll remember that the next time somebody tells me they're happy in their relationship. Instead of believing them and being happy for them, I'll mentally compare them to a raging alchoholic. Because, really, they're just alike!

Why is it that the standard (non-religious) argument against homosexuality is that its bad because other things are bad (incest! alchoholism! kleptomania!)? Well if you ask me, a homosexual relationship, even if it is not exactly like a heterosexual relationship, is a lot closer than it is to anything else in the usual "parade of horribles."

[justshutupandtakeit]

There was no intention for the constitution to write laws. Only treason was considered significant enough to place in the constitution. Punishment of homosexual behavior was left in the hands of the states and they took care of it.

[Chili Girl]

Nice article - a bump for later circulation. Nice to hear it stated that "issues" cause homosexuality - that it's not something they were "born with". It is a choice.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Buddhists don't believe in a God.
