to alter your mind...
and that a medical condition can exist, which causes a person to be obese...therefore making mind altering medicine and obesity not a sin...
But, Christians don't think that homosexuality can be biological?
What gives with the double standard of justification?

As a christian, all I can say is homosexuality is a sin. What is it you want us to say, that its not? It is, but so are a lot of other things, and personally, I have my own sins to deal with so don't really have the time, energy nor do I really care enough to try to deal with anyone else's sin and whether or not its biological or not.

try asking a question and waiting for an answer if you just want to answer your own questions feel free to do it on your own time. where do you get the concept Christians cannot take prescription drugs. are you trying to justify something? I can take any drug a dr prescribes or that is over the counter. I cannot take illegal drugs because I am commanded to follow mans laws unless they counter Gods. not just Christians think homosexuality is not biological. some other people do. also some Christians think being homosexual is biological. so until you have spoken to every Christian use the words some or I think. just like not all athiest do anything except deny there is any type of God. that is what makes them athiest. so when speaking of a broad spectrum of people use common sense and say some Christians or the Christians I have met etc.

That is an interesting question. I am a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner. I am told by Fun. Christians that what I do is a sin because it meddles with the mind. This forgets that much of what they do is using hypnosis and NLP to make people into followers.
Hypnotherapy and therapeutic NLP is used in a Rogerian form IE client centred with full client involvement. It is powerful enough to perform heart surgery without an anesthetic; it is gentle enough to take a person into sweet and easy sleep. It is the most powerful non-chemical and non-invasive tool in modern medicine.
Can any of this be said of drugs or religion, I think not.

It's not only Christians that believe Ritalin & Prozac are justified, It's anyone who has ANY scientific background. Did you just fall off a turnip truck or are you just one of those religious fanatics who is so ignorant you refuse to believe in chemical reactions within the body. As for the obesity thing>>>its called thyroid disease. Why not educate yourself before confirming that you really are a dumbass.

I'm atheist, but my son's use is *very* justified, TYVM. By Grade 4, he could nether read nor write... we tried *everything* we could find. We delayed use of drugs, in retrospect to his detriment.
Now, 3 years later on Ritalin and later Concerta, he's finally just at Grade 7 level - reading at the low end of the class, but on Grade 7 material.
