Can Xtians help people not be gay?

Question

since being gay is a choice, could some of you Xtian men share with us your stories of your daily struggles to choose to be straight rather than gay?
I think it would really be helpful if people could read how you overcome your gay lust and choose a straight life instead.
Are some days harder than others?
Do you ever fail and end up choosing gay for a week or two?

Answer 1

While I realize that you are being sarcastic, I still want to point out that being gay is not a choice, just as being hetero is not a choice. There are too many not so bright folks out there who would read your question and assume you were serious.

Peace.

Answer 2

The very scary thing is that a lot of Xtians think they CAN turn a gay man straight. Just look at the groups like Exodus. They claim that by prayer and determination, a gay man can become straight.

They never tell you that their rate of recidivism is close to 100%. They also don't tell you about the people who have been through the program that have had their self-hatred so magnified that they ended up killing themselves. This is what happened to my best friend from college.

If any Xtian tells you that they can turn a gay man into a straight man, simply say, "Take the plank out of your own eye so you can better see the splinter in your brother's eye." This probably won't shut them up (they will probably begin shouting verses from Leviticus and Romans to you) but it sure feels good being on the side of Jesus and not the Pharisees.

Answer 3

I wonder if Xtians can help straight guys stop liking women.

I really hope this is a joke. The majority of teenage suicide are because they believe they are gay and grow up feeling shunned by society. How can it be a choice?

Answer 4

I think it's a mistake to assume all people have the same weaknesses. My weaknesses are for alcohol and for pornography. I was never an alcoholic, but I was lost in the emptiness of porn addiction for many years. Sometimes I miss having beer and Jack Daniels. It's a daily, and sometimes moment by moment decision to stay away from those things. There;s been times when I had to walk away from the computer for periods of time because of the temptation to view porn on the internet. I guess what I'm saying is that my weaknesses are different from yours, and I don't have to struggle with homosexuality. I don't understand why alcohol appeals to me allot more than others, so i guess i can understand about homosexuality being appealing to some. However, I just believe it keeps us from receiving God's best for us, and it's a temptation to overcome for you like alcohol and porn is for me.

Okay, there....I bared my soul to you. What's your opinion?

Answer 5

I can picture it now.... The struggle of Christian men to not give into that urge to go shopping at Abercrombie and to work out at 24 hour fitness and to give into that desire to date the boy next door.Oh, it's so hard for them.But they manage to do it because they ask God to keep them straight.And God is so great that he keeps the gay at bay.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Answer 6

Help people overcome their lust? Come on, most Christians aren't THAT unattractive.

Answer 7

Clever chap. Excellent.

Answer 8

People need self control....
You can have thoughts which many people do as sinners most people get caught up in lust, porno etc..

You might have attraction to men but you have a choice to stay away from Sodomy as a Straight person has a choice not to fornicate before marraige.

Life is about choices and pleasing GOD more than you want to please yourself.

Answer 9

No, Christians can not help people be "not gay". It's not possible, as they are too busy condemning them to hell.

Answer 10

This sounds fishy
