pretending that I'm talking about something inappropriate

I'm not pretending. You are talking about something inappropriate for this thread, so please keep your comments to the religion section.

Yes, it's a ministry, and their primary mission is homosexuality and not to debate theological differences. Apparently that's something you have to come to term with.

"I hope the Bennett's are braced for the relentless vicious assaults they will surely get from the left."

I bet they are counting on it as a priceless source of publicity to launch their radio show.

if I were a woman I still wouldn't marry a former homosexual

My wife says the same thing. For what it's worth, I believe both Bennett and his wife are former homosexuals.

Sorry, I posted the wrong article..

Here's the interview where she says she wasn't "born gay"

Comets' Swoopes opens up about being gay

I should have realized the Houston Cronicle would go out of their way to edit anything that would derail the gaystoppo.

Excerpt:

"Do I think I was born this way? No," Swoopes said. "And that's probably confusing to some, because I know a lot of people believe that you are."

It is appropriate for this thread, unless you intend for people to not actually follow your links and see what this is all about. Are you just looking for blind support?

I think it is great that someone wants to help homosexuals leave the lifestyle. I also think it is great that someone wants to share the gospel with them. I don't think it is great to scam them into feeling "okay with God" when you aren't giving them the true gospel. You might as well give them their 12-step program and emphasize a higher power like alcoholics anonymous. I would feel better about that because the AA people don't pretend to be offering salvation and eternal life with their freedom from alcohol abuse counseling.

This might work as therapy (a good thing on a temporal level), but it also may secure their place in hell better than if they stayed with the sin. At least then they won't have a false assurance of eternal life. It isn't love to mislead a person with false eternal assurances.

Thanks for the clarification! I was shaking my head trying to figure out how the main article fit with Funny you should post this... I was just about to read your post again.

BUMP!!

The truth sets people free.

Precisely why your discussion should remain in the religion section where it's appropriate to discuss theological issues.

"Do I think I was born [gay]? No," Swoopes said.

That's exactly what this article is about - people are not born gay. Here's an article that summarizes how it might happen:

How Might Homosexuality Develop? Putting the Pieces Together

[DirtyHarryY2K]

Yes, I read that when it was posted on FR. The radical homosexuals won't give it any credence because it shoots holes in their "born that way" theory propaganda.

[lilylangtree]

I can just visualize the reaction of the Gay Pride, etc. upon hearing this. Good for Stephen Bennett! More power to him.

[kublia khan]

WOW, what a tagline.

[kublia khan]

A very interesting hypothesis. I was a family counselor for a number of years, in my practice I believe the number of homosexuals I encountered was just over 100. The one commonality they all had was a pre pubescent molestation event. I have always considered those events as having a role in the homosexual lifestyle choice.

[Aquinasfan]

Excellent. And the insane sodomy-philes will insure high ratings.

[scripter]

Why thank you. I'm going through a list of C.S. Lewis quotes and finding a few gems in there.

I have always considered those events as having a role in the homosexual lifestyle choice.

We have some ex-gay freepers who have stated as much. And there are others here who were molested at a young age but never entered the homosexual lifestyle.

This ministry Bennett is starting is a wonderful thing. I hope he reaches many...
