*Glomps krazyk.*

Nothing cuter then a religous girl.

I'm sortof religous... sortof not... It's hard to explain.

You see ever sense as a kid I have had three strange occurances on a normal basis.

Empathy. (Which isn't as cool as you might think.)
Premanitions. (Again, not very cool sense I have no idea how to change the outcome.)
And channeling. (Speaking with the dead bassically, but I can only do it when I'm asleep which is not benneficial to anyone.)

So with all the strange things that happen to me and all the science and philosophy and the simalarities between them I read, I do sometimes believe in God, and sometimes I don't. It's hard to believe in something that never speaks to you, but it's also hard not to have faith in something when you feel the presence of strong friends around you every minute of everyday.

I wish i knew how the quote button worked but i'll have to stick to the old fashion way of copy/paste (i'm new to forums and ish).

This reminds me of a recent discovery in a study made recently (in a local newspaper). It says that they can actually alter the homosexual person's sexual orientation to something accepted by society. If this 'treatment' (for lack of a better word) actually works, would the homosexuals be lining up for this? If I recall correctly, they got like 100/500 respondents, and I think about 90% got to change their sexual orientation.

But, don't you think this is actually like asking them to go out and change themselves? Then the matter of choice is no longer available isnt it?

Anyway donamaria, I don't think you HAVE to be celibate for 30 to 40 yrs. I've seen a lot of cases where homosexuals would eventually lose their interest in the same sex.

I have several things to say to this:
1) depending where this "treatment" took place, what probably happened was the same thing done in Utah several years ago and which, sadly, still goes on today in small pockets of that state. The "treatment" of homosexuality was to show a gay man pornographic images of 2 men together and electricute him every time he became aroused/excited. Don't believe me? There are hundreds of testimoneys of this happening. I'll post the article if enough people ask about it.

2) Only the homosexuals that feel seriously repressed because of their orientation would seek "treatment" so that they feel they'd be excepted into their community (think of religious towns. that's where most of this "treatment" is going on). Out here in California, however, I doubt it would get much response (I know I wouldn't go) simply because people are more open minded (they dont call us the "Left Coast" for nothing).

3) What you've seen about people "loosing interest" are more than likely people who became curious about the lifestyle and decided to give it a try. True homosexuality is no more fickle that heterosexuality. If you don't believe me, I can give personal testimony.

that's all for now
