The same way it tells homely, unpleasant heterosexuals that 'God's Will' for them Is a Life Void of Sex, Romance?
any support for homos would have to be applied to pedos and the polyamourous crowd
I can't even begin to fathom the thought process behind that.
Islam is all about submission to Allah, and the fatalistic belief that everything that happens is "Allah's Will".
Some people are attracted to this. Nothing is your fault, it's all Allah's Will. No need for personal responsibility, nor for striving to make yourself better.
It's also a reason why some people like Communism, and some cult movements -- to submerge themselves in The Group.
Read the book The True Believer: Thoughts On The Nature Of Mass Movements (1951)
From one of the reviews:
"The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready is he to claim excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause."--Eric Hoffer, The true BelieverNone of the terrorists of September 11 were destitute. Some even had wives and children. Nevertheless, they committed suicide for their cause. Anyone wanting to understand this horrible irony would do well to read Eric Hoffer's 1951 classic, The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements. Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) was a self-educated US author and philosopher who was a migratory worker and longshoreman until 1967. He achieved immediate acclaim with his first book, The true Believer.
According to Hoffer, the early converts to any mass movement come from the ranks of the "frustrated," that is, "people who..feel that their lives are spoiled or wasted." The true believers' "Faith in [their] holy cause is to a considerable extent a subsitute for [their] lost faith in [themselves]." He says that we are prone to throw ourselves into a mass movement to "supplant and efface the self we want to forget." He then adds, "We cannot be sure that we have something worth living for unless we are ready to die for it."
Both homosexual sex and child molestation are sinful acts. It is OK to be inclined towards WANTING to commit sin, as long as you do not SUBMIT to sin.
RE: One Jewish gay kid even converted to islam.
I can’t even begin to fathom the thought process behind that.

EXCERPT:
Sex in prison is often coerced or worse, but that reality doesnt explain the consensual practice of homosexual acts involving prisoners who identify strictly as heterosexual. Such inmates often pursue sexual relationships with willing feminine homosexual prisoners. In other instances, self-described straight inmates might coerce same-sex favors or commit same-sex rape for predatory reasons. But the bottom line is this: homosexual sex is culturally permissible in prison, and it is practiced willingly by many inmates who claim to be straight.
This sort of homosexual culture seems similar to homosexual practices in Afghanistan where Pashtun men interpret the Islamic prohibition on homosexuality to mean they cannot love another man — but that doesn’t mean they can’t use men for sexual gratification. According to an unclassified U.S. military study, Pashtun men commonly have sex with other men, admire other men physically, have sexual relationships with boys and shun women both socially and sexually — yet they completely reject the label of homosexual.”
In America, I think the Pashtun culture is defined by the phrase on the down low, not to be confused with the word gay. But like Hilary Clinton once said, What difference at this point does it make? Words now mean whatever liberals say they mean.
New "recruits." This is a direct result of exposure to the poisonous culture.
Since you are responding to an empty post, would you clarify your statement? Are you saying it is not God's will that a sodomite live celibate unless married to the opposite gender, and that sexual relations otherwise would be sin?
“Its starting to feel like 50% of the country is gay!”
As a witty woman once asked: How big was that closet anyway?
The choice is eternal life with God upon choosing a life doing God’s will or ignoring God’s will and face eternal life with Satan.
We choose not to eat the apple that God told Adam not to eat.
God didn’t promise an easy life on earth as we are blessed with many freedoms and opportunities while others face persecution and death for their faith.
Such a general diagnosis can be used to dis everything from the Tea Party to Christianity, rather than having begun with esteem of proven principles, precepts and probity, and thus finding fellowship with leaders and others of like mind and heart, and in principled dissent from those who distorted them.
Courage and Encourage [spiritual support for persons w/ same-sex attraction who are striving...
Bingo.
Children seek boundaries and respect those who set them; when there are no boundaries they will forever spiral outward, searching, respecting no one and nothing until finally they provoke someone to take action.
It’s much more humane to take action when they are children than for their discipline to come from a stranger who does not love them, or an enemy who would destroy them.
They are looking for an alpha wolf and all they see are sheep.
Like sodomite pressing upon Lot in trying for force their way into the house to "know" the men, the demonic forces under the devil, who seeks universal worship by proxy in an alternative society, want total domination, with the devil's alternatives displacing what God created.
If you want to see where the atheists and liberal's training is heading, understand what the devil - the selfish originator of the "occupy movement" and "share the wealth" victim-entitlement movement - seeks. A vote for his proxies is a vote for him.
But as seen in the end,
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (Revelation 11:15)
Think Sodom and Gomorrah. Only ten worthy people were found there as God destroyed the cities.
The end result of the disintegration of the nuclear family as a result of divorce on demand laws, as well as a propaganda campaign that our entertainment and news industries have been engaged in for over 20 years now to normalize such behavior. Not to mention the ‘if it isn’t hurting me, why should I care’ folks who refuse to see that these sorts of things make civilization itself unsustainable, because it goes against some notion that licentious behavior is equivalent to liberty.
“Contrary to everything you’re told in the popular media, Olympic sex and blinding passionate romance are not vital to human happiness.”
So very true. Also true is that even heterosexual expression of sexual intercourse is reserved for marriage. So, even the heterosexual young person is expected to abstain from sex. It only can properly (according to God) be done in the bounds of (proper) heterosexual marriage.
Sex and romance are great, and they can certainly enhance life. But done badly, they can create just as much misery, and on their best day, they're a distraction that may blind us to more important things.
To live for them is to wallow in carnality and neglect those virtues that elevate us above the beast.
Yes.
Consider the Biblical stories of Aninias and Sapphira, the man with his father's wife, and what Jesus said to do when you bring offerings with a grievance in your heart for God's demeanor toward those who confuse Him with Santa Claus.
I lived for sixteen years from puberty kicking in without having sex with another human being, think about it...
