Can Heterosexuality be Reversed?

I maintain that MOST people being truely honest with themselves are not 100% hetro or homosexual.

This is evidenced by the pervasive amount of homosexuality that exists when people are forced into an enviroment where there is only one sex. (jail, boarding school, monistaries)

What does it mean to be gay? If you are attracted to the same sex, are you gay if you never act on it? If you mostly like the opposit sex, but are sometimes attracted to the same sex, are you gay? If you once experimented with gay sex, are you gay? If you are mostly attracted to the same sex, but forced yourself to get married to the opposit sex and have sexual relations with that person, are you gay?

There are very very very few absolutes in this world, most things are simply a shade of grey.

Or maybe God whispers "THE TRUTH" amid thunder crashes and lighting bolts into your ear or directly into your mind every night? Such certitude that enables you to tell others what is right and wrong must be very empowering.

And the very idea that someone that "doesn't believe" in something can have no opinion on it? That would tell me you can have no valid opinion on homosexuality. But, maybe you can. Maybe you still in the closet but are hating yourself for it? Using your logic, I guess that would give you the right to an opinion on gays.

Yet another liberal using gay as an insult.

What your faith is in, is yourself, you are a homosexual trying to sooth your aching soul. Try as you may unless you repent of the sin that is homosexuality you will have an eternity in hell to look forward to. The Bible is inspired by God, written by men, why would men who believed in God's ability top strike them dead change what he told them to write, and more than once in the new testament is homosexuality said to be sinful. No you read what you want, but you won't like it as truth, so you will change it to fit your agenda, and lifestyle choice.

Excuse me, but your characterization of who I am and what I am doing, is in your own recalcitrant mind, and no place else. How dare you tell me, a grown man, in his right mind, who I am and what I am doing. And since you are a sinner, like everyone, you hardly are in a position to tell anyone to repent or what they will be facing. Your arrogance is astounding. And given the fact that, today, there are many instances of men seeing visions, imagining themselves as Christ or the messengers of Christ, who most medical professionals would characterize as "delusional" or "psychotic", as if that didn't occur in biblical times, is hardly any reason to suspect that some notions of "divine inspiration" were just psychotic episodes. I am a Christian (Episcopalian, by birth and teaching). Any reference to homosexuality, which then, denoted "temple prostitution" in the Roman provinces, were attributed to Paul, whose misogyny and general disdain for women, point toward his probably repressed homosexuality, which, in and of itself is "hypocritical". Bottom line, there is no "red" text, indicating the very words spoken by Christ, which specifically frowns on homosexuality. Must not have been that pressing. So, go fuck yourself.

I don't know, if I could have willed myself into being attracted to women I think I would have. I'm just not. But they do say that most people are not strictly 100% either way, so I am not disputing that. I just never felt it consciously anyway.

well there were a couple women along the way that I could have been tempted by... but circumstances were such that nothing happened.

No. It's not. You are such an ignorant troglodyte that you don't even know the difference between the Torah and the Talmud. Fool.

Yes it is, among scholars. And you're mistaken about me not knowing the difference. No doubt you will say it again and it will then be a lie.

that it does, but the article states that the Torah was given to Moses by God on Mt. Sinai. For anyone who claims to know anthing about Judaism knows that the Talmud was compiled much later and contains the writings and opinions of thousands of rabbis each interpreting various sections of the Torah. You could score a few style points here by admitting that you typed Talmud when you meant to type Torah. It's an easy mistake to make. But we both know you are incapable of admitting such an error, regardless of how minor... which is why you continue to tapdance.

LOL. The article mentioned doesn't say anything about the Talmud being handed down from Moses. It is painfully clear that you were ignorant on the subject. How does it feel to be schooled by an atheist and a liberal Christian on the subject?
 
Trust me... He is far from finished with this tapdance....

Actually, he is at a typical DY crossroads. Either he keeps on tapdancing, or he leaves this thread and never returns. I have NEVER seen him admit to an error after even one try at deflection.
 
DY, it is okay to be wrong. I'm wrong about things all the time. Admitting you got the facts wrong is part of being a mature, functional human being. It also helps you think more critically in the future. Even in normal conversation, I tend to qualify my statements with "as far as I know" or "I could be wrong on this, but I heard..." - unless I am absolutely certain about the validity of my statement.

Of course, that is something that conservatives generally don't do. They don't give a rat's ass about facts. This is one reason that I decided to stop watching Fox News.
