The Bible actually says [homosexuality] is a mental disorder as well.
In Romans it says because they did not WISH to RETAIN knowledge of God, He gave them over...
He does not give up on Murderers, Adulterers, Thieves, Liars. He does give up on the Sodomites.
Why? Because they are not reprogrammable after a certain point. They go down a dark road into mental defect from which there is no return.
This is why so FEW do repent and recover. Oh, some do, Praise Be. But most do not, will not, cannot.

The bible says a lot of things, doesn't make it true.
"Why? Because they are not reprogrammable after a certain point."
Fucking cult!
Hey Rachel, I'm confused. In Romans God makes people gay!
1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another;
So if homosexuals are not "reprogrammable", according to the Bible it's because God programmed 'em. According to the very chapter you cite, gays are gay because goddidit!
God gives up on homosexuals because He has no power against any form of sexual activity, except when that activity is indulged in by wizards, shamans and witchdoctors or priests and nuns. Ask any priest or pastor and they'll tell you that. That is why so many religions try to suppress sex, because they know that it wards off Gods, lightens the coffers and lessens the wizardly influence. Not to mention that it spoils the fun to be had via the entitlement to interfere in the lives of others.
God has no power over Catholic Priests because they engage in sex with choir boys. God has no power over me because I practice heterosexual sex. Sexual desire is all that is needed to help quell superstition, fundamental cults, bigots, mammonists, canting hypocrites and belligerent tribalists.
Also, God has no power over sexual restraint or celibacy either. Actually, God has no power. Generally, you'll find that invisible non-existent things don't have a great deal of power. So sexualize away. Homo on. I suppose it's even permissible to use the Bible as a sex aid, if reading that sort of thing turns you on.
Yep, because not even He Who Can Do The Impossible can turn them straight through prayer.
I'm going to have to go with London Jew here. Your deity is pathetic.
"They go down a dark road ..."
Hershey Highway (old, old joke).
P.S. The Bible doesn't say anything about mental disorder; it attributes every mental and physical illness to demons. Even Jesus thought demons caused such diseases as epilepsy ... proving that he was certainly not an all-knowing god (if he existed at all).
The Bible actually says...
OK, stop right there, because anything else you say is totally discredited.
"He does not give up on Murderers, Adulterers, Thieves, Liars. He does give up on the Sodomites"
Because sticking it in someone's pooper is worse than taking their life away.
"Why? Because they are not reprogrammable after a certain point."
I'll second the "fucking cult!" vote.
Aside from that, I thought your god was omnipotent. Except when you need him not to be, apparently.

Uh, are you talking about the same Bible that claims diseases are caused by demons and that goats fucking in front of patterned rods will produce offspring that match those patterns? Yeah, not exactly the best source to use for diagnosing people.
e does not give up on Murderers, Adulterers, Thieves, Liars. He does give up on the Sodomites.
So men being attracted to men and women being attracted to women is worse than killing people? In other words, Hitler is better off than Elton John? Your morality is severely warped.
Why? Because they are not reprogrammable after a certain point.
That's because they're not VCRs or computer software, they're people. And I agree with nutbunny when he says "Fucking cult!".
So for some reason you can't even begin to quantify, homosexuality is somehow worse than murder, adultery, theft, or lying.
MY BRAIN IS FULL OF FUCK.
"The Bible actually says [homosexuality] is a mental disorder as well. "
Despite "homosexuality" being an eighteenth century concept, which the proto-Christians who composed the bible and the pre-Christians who wrote the basic text would have had no concept of?
"Recoverd" homosexuals still are gay, they've just gone back into the closet. Why do you think so many that have "recovered" eventually go BACK out of the closet? Because you can't cure something that isn't a disease, and also that praying doesn't work anyways...
What on Earth is this shit? I sure as hell don't want to be "re-programmed" to fit someone elses demands, not even the magic man and his followers, since i don't expect to re-program anyone else either any time soon. This whole shit sounds creepy, actually...
Reprogrammable? I KNEW we were all really just a bunch of androids! And I guess the homosexual models are too buggy to reprogram?
Awesome. Does that mean I can start a Matrix-like rise of machines? Since people are really just programs, right?
Yes, and the babble also says man was created in gawds image. So.....just how long has gawd been a homosexual???? And for fun, while we are on ridiculous topics....how did gawd father jeebus with mary, who was proportedly somebody elses wife? Was that adultery?
Believing the the stupidity of the babble is the only mental disorder I see.
"The Bible actually says [homosexuality] is a mental disorder as well."
It also said that people hearing voices were suffering from possession. So, why should I take it seriously?
Everyone knows God is a Dalek.
Uh, don't they? The Emperor was really proud of it at the end of Season 2. Of course, sadly, since the Doctor later met the Devil, and he was freaky, I guess that means he isn't the devil after all. So we should just buy out of the system.
Of course, if we want to go down that road, the Doctor appears to simultaneously be Jesus and the Antichrist. Anybody remember when he was a grouchy old man with a notebook and a spaceship?

The Bible also says that bats are birds, illness is caused by demons, and birds walk on four legs. Not exactly a reliable source.
Tech Support: Hello, you've reached Celestial Tech, this is Chad. How can I help you today?
God: Oh hey Chad. I have a problem with this human....
"The Bible says...." are three words that almost without fail are followed by bullshit. It is the worst possible authority for anything remotely related to science or history, and if the Bible told me it will be a clear sunny day today I'd wear a raincoat.
You're a couple of millennia behind the times if you still use that pile of bronze age rubbish as a handbook for life.
Wait, one moment, homosexuals are at the same height as muders, liars and thieves. The other, they are a special sin that is incurable. Funny that Jesus doesn't mention it EVEN ONCE.
If that's the case then LEAVE US ALONE. Your god does. You said so yourself.
Disclaimer: I do not agree that being gay has anything to do with mental illness, nor do I feel that people affected by mental illness are inherently bad or lesser in any way.
He does not give up on Murderers, Adulterers, Thieves, Liars. He does give up on the Sodomites.
So if I kill someone before I sodomize them, it's all good, right?
Thanks for clearing this up, Rachel!
The bible says bats are birds, insects have 4 legs, the world is a big flat square, and Earth is the center of the universe. IOWs it says a lot of things that aren't right, just like this bullshit.
Yet, he created them. By a creature that is assumed to be omnipresent and omniscient.
Sorry, your god either has either lying about himself or your book is full of bullshit.
So, your god likes Murderers, Adulterers, Thieves, Liars over two people who love each other?
Who are you kidding? You people worship an evil demon.
The Bible actually says [homosexuality] is a mental disorder is full of shit as well.
Because they are not reprogrammable after a certain point.
So do the gay "deconversion" procedures work or not? I'm getting mixed signals from your hive.
It's a good thing the Norwegian Utøya murderer Anders Behring Breivik was a Christian before he killed all those socialist kids, as he hasn't shown one iota of remorse, and is wearing out prison guards by the dozens with his conservative Islamophobia shit. God doesn't give up on a guy who murdered 8 government workers and 69 kids and staff at a summer camp, but if you love a person of your own gender, then dammit; you're on your own!
That certain point you mention, asshole, is BEFORE BIRTH!
All the gay people I know are happy and content with their lives, no mental defect detected anywhere. The strangest "friend" I've ever had was an outspoken Christian; something fairly unusual in Sweden, where most people keep their religion to themselves. (I was bullied and she was bullied, so the school counselor put us together, so we'd have someone, at least...)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
