Something get's me thinking...

feline you sure are a strange one!

After reading all these homosexual posts...something got me thinking. The people who are gay are spending too much time trying NOT to be sexually attracted to the same sex...but I think they don't put enough emphesis on renewing their attraction to the opposite. I'm a straight guy and I can't understand how any other guy could not find a woman extremely sexually attractive. So if you are gay and having problems...(and believe me, this is just something that I have been THINKING and I have NO CLUE if this would work)...sure...try to STOP being attracted to men...but try to also get yourself to be really attracted to women again. To me, women...especially beautiful and sexy ones...just make me weak in the knees sometimes. Pray that you would get back to that (not in a lustful way, but yeah you know what I mean).

it just doesn't work that way...

I might as well ask you to stop being attracted to women and focus on being attracted to men...

Sexuality is a very confusing thing, and you don't understand the struggle unless you are actually living it.

Think about what you're saying, why don't you sit and try to think about men a lot, and maybe you wil someday like them, that makes no sense, AT ALL. And even though you threw in the "not in a lustful way" it IS lust, basically what you said, is try to lust after women and you will stop beign Gay, sorry but that is totally foolish, two sins do not equal one favor from God. And then you said "pray to get BACK to that" uhhhhh FYI most gay people were NEVER INTO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I mean comeon, this is NOT a way to help the homosexual and strugglign community, this is just another way for them to think badly of Christians.

God Bless brother in christ, and forgive me Father if I was harsh but this is NOT the way....NOT at all.

I was never an alocoholic but I did drink. Any of you ever drink? Was your first drink of scotch a pleasant experience? Scotch is just plain nasty but if you keep at it you will eventually like it.

Any of you ever smoke? (I passed on that one) Was that first cigaretter pleasant or did you cough and hack, turn green, and maybe puke? It was just plain nasty but if you stayed at it then eventually many seem to have liked it as a lifestyle.

I know lots of guys from the high school years that got sick as a dog on their first big chew of tabacco. Talk at about puking sick! But after a few episodes of chewing just to fit in with that particular crowd well they just eventually got used to it and indeed the body got hooked on it.

Long story short is that you CAN train your body to like something that is really bad for it. Satan would be glad to help you, too! And the mind can be taught that right is wrong and wrong is right. The word says that in the last days that will be rather a big issue.

Consider what Paul had to say: "...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- If anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

thank you kindly for returning some common sense and logic to this thread.

Hey, how about this? I have brown hair, but I am sick of it and really really want red hair. If I focus enough and pray about being a redhead, will I wake up one day with red hair? It worked with me and the bacon!!!!

What a terrible analogy. There's nothing wrong about having brown hair, that's how God designed you. There's everything wrong about being a homosexual, that's not how God designed you. God's about bringing us into who he's designed us to be. He's going to help you overcome your twisted human nature, like He helps everyone else whose hearts are turned toward Him.


*"you" is a general term
