Since religious people believe that it is just a simple choice. All they would have to do is switch. Shouldn't be too hard according to them.

Your missing a basic differance. The reason it would be difficult for a believer to give up being straight is because we know that God calls it an abomination to be gay (this is found in SEVERAL places in scripture.) It would be easier to convert to God's will than from it ; that's why we say gay's can change thier lifestyle choice. For the purpose of your hypothetical question it would still be the Christian's desire to please God so if He suddenly did reverse sexual oriantations we would do our best to comply. Remember also that nobody perfectly does God's will anyhow. That's not the criteria for entrance to Heaven. Accepting that Jesus died and rose again to free us from the requirements of the law because of our inability to keep them is what God seeks from us.

i'm no longer Christian, and as a effect I won't answer, yet additionally on your question, i ask your self, is soliciting for forgiveness after lifelong homosexuality sufficient to learn salvation? Is it merely like countless different sin, as a effect in case you repent and ask for God's forgiveness, will or no longer that's ok? And if the answer to this question is they bypass to hell, how can or no longer that's justified that a individual loves God would be punished by way of him interior the top, no depend how lots faith they have?

very good question. and i dont see to many answers. perhaps the question is too profound or maybe ppl are just too scared to answer. ill take it a step further ans ask what if this planet was ruled in such a way and they were burned, shot, hanged, raped, beat down, or simply called names publicly humiliated and banished from there families, churches, jobs and so on for being straight.
i would have to say that they would be just like the billions of us that hide from society and for those in rural areas fear for there lives.
i hope that more see your post and challenge it with an open mind.
would it not be funny to find a strightisum.com

It'll be a breeze for all those closet gays who are keeping up a front for their pissy religion under the present situation. For the others they will all be going to hell I've a feeling, they will find it's no so easy to choose your sexual orientation and deny your true nature for a lifetime.

When the time comes, there will be more gays in Heaven than in Hell. There will also be many "Christians" in Hell for betraying Christ.

You're asking normal people who react sexually according to God's design to chose to commit inordinate, unnatural, perverted acts.
Get real with your questions. There are foolish questions, and you've just asked one.

That's a very good rhetorical question...but you probably won't get very many good answers. Too many people think in black and white to such a degree that they can't even answer a black and white question! But you do have a point: if it's that easy to switch, they should have no problems.

I don't think it would be a simple choice.
