I noticed that same phenomenon with the heterosexuals, Heartofaboy. No matter how much they threw themselves into 'spiritual' activities god didn't change them into homosexuals...........they remained STRAIGHT. I suspect that is because they were already exactly the way God intended them - - - AND US - - - to be.
gma-tired2 - it wasn't God doing the hate teachings. If there had been any truth to the anti-gay message W H A T S O E V E R, then holy spirit would have caused a fundamental shift of our innermost sexual desires, orientation - in the same way holys spirit causes a fundamental change in personality.
For a person to be taught like a monkey to jump through the hoop of an unnatural, opposite sex relationship and then trained like a parrot to say how much he loves his life now, hardly describes a change of sexual orientation. It only means that people can be manipulated in grotesque and obscene ways and convinced of its properness. It also shows the lengths people will go to demonstrate their love for God, having been duped into believing that THAT is what He wanted from them.
It's a ruse.
I wonder how many hetero people have entertained what it would mean for them to enter into a same-sex relationship just so God would love them. They have no idea what they have put us through.
