Is Homosexuality a illness? And how to heal?

[MysticSang'ha]

This thread...lol

I'm bisexual, and have read a lot of things about bisexuals in this thread I had no idea were in print.

Gosh golly.

Anyway, praying the gay away doesn't work. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Accepted my orientation 20+ years ago and wouldn't change my orientation for the world.

But it certainly would be less stressful for me personally if the world were less misogynist and less homophobic and biphobic.

There's only ONE Creator and he certainly isn't the flesh that we observe in this world. He is outside of His creation and we will never see Him. This is why He used the flesh of man in the form of prophets and saints to testify to Him and His plan for us.

Then you do not believe that Moses actually saw God of the Judaic kind? What about Mary, Mother Of Jesus? Did she get the seed from God or did she just get knocked up by someone other than her husband Joseph?

Also movies have this tendency to be more fictional than reality, even if they're based on something real. Just saying.

That majorly sucks, because I was hoping I'd wake up tomorrow and be a crewman aboard the enterprise.

Just not a red shirt. They are the first to die.

For me, a cure would be, if the patient is able to have sex with the opposite gender.

Attraction, identity and sex are completely different issues. One cannot be "substituted" for another.

Wow. That's an impressive admission. Why close the thread though?

We can close threads if there is compelling reason to. Usually if threads turn into flame wars, or if it needs to be moved to another forum, but all by staff consensus.

There are other members who are engaging civilly in discourse in this thread.

Staff typically does not close threads or delete posts because a member had an opinion change. I can see some of my posts from 7 years ago and say, "EW GAAAHHH, what was I thinking?"

Servant, if I may ask, what convinced you to change your mind?

Isn't this thread a flame war?

Some thread titles and OPs are trolling. Blatant misrepresentation and baiting being them. When it comes to hot-button topics, it's up to the consensus of staff to decide if caustic titles and/or OPs cross the line into rule violations.

Sometimes, though, innocuous thread titles and OPs have posts in them that turn into flame-bait in the content pages and pages later, and battle lines are drawn. But again, it's up to staff to decide if posts in question are rule violations or not. Best to report any if members see them for the mods to sort out.

My housemate is from Romania. When he arrived in the UK, he said that he wouldn't let any children he might have in the future even go near gay people. He believed it to be utterly wrong. He then realised a new friend of his was gay, and discovered they were just people with a different orientation. Within weeks, he supported gay marriage worldwide.

His story makes sense to me. This is the appropriate reaction, I feel.

Unfortunately, that is the exception.

Aye, those who hold wrong beliefs (ie, they disagree with me) are merely future allies.
By being civil & presenting cogent arguments, they see the light.
The only thing to fear is the new true believer syndrome.
(They can become quite enthusiastic.)

Respectfully, I disagree. Insulation harbors the negatives views and stereotypes, but when those who hold said views are put into real life situations with gay people, unwittingly, they will often change their tune based on their new experience.

Aye, familiarity breeds acceptance.
When positive non-threatening representatives become acquaintances, fears & superstitions can evaporate.

Depends on the group, I think.

For those who have been told a certain set of things about homosexuality which are mentally associated with their strongly held religious convictions, it's tough to shift.

There's not much of a strong foundation in other people.

Your mockery is so subtle I honestly don't know if it's even there.

And still, you didn't answer my question. Which God? Allah? Jehovah? G*d? Kali? Cernunnos? Osiris? Which one? And btw, they are ALL God.

Here all Buddhists, as they have stated,that they don't believe in God.
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim, I also believe that Buddha believed in One-True-God and he received his first clear revelation under a Banyan tree.
Which school of Buddha do you belong? Please.

Regards

Theravada, of the Nikaya school of Buddhism. Many Buddhists don't believe in God but some do. It's a personal decision.

How so? SSM and being gay has gained a great deal of support and understanding over the last couple of decades. Why would you think it's an exception?
