You survived for a reason. No matter if you're gay or not. It doesn't matter to me. Make you belief in god prevail in whatever you believe.

God bless you...this is coming from a non-religious individual. Bye...Jason Adams.

i know exactly what you are talking about. this is stuff i've known. in my life it was the same, i was the only gay man in a family of conservitive caribean christians. i have tried comitting suicide myself. i cut myself and i was still alive, i had to learn to accept what i was. i left the church and i started my own religious and personal journey and now i am a minister.

@siholgs

So are you against heteros having anal or oral sex too?

And technically 2 ppl of AGE can consent to any sexual act.

ARe you also against eating shellfish?

Should I be allowed to sell my daughter into sex slavery if she doesnt agree with me?

[siholgs]

@StigRossi Well, what if the kid consent with that? You do know they are going to have the so called "child protection" which actually strip the parent's rights and let the kid do whatever they want. And what about incest? 2 consenting adults, father and daughter, mother and son, I guess that's ok right? :) Just because 2 people consent to do something, it doesn't make it right.

@siholgs

The reason pedophilia is wrong is the same reason that parents have to be around when their kid is getting surgery. CONSENT! Kids aren't able to give it in any situation such as sex or surgery.

@siholgs Repressing, denying & hating your innate, natural homosexuality is not honoring God; it's acquiescing to the prejudice of ignorant men who mistakenly claim that God hate gays. God made you gay, That's the way He wants you. If you loved & trusted the Him, rather than caving in to men's agenda of bigotry, you'd accept yourself the way you really are: gay. Sadly, the devil has manipulated you into thinking that the way God made you is wrong. One day, perhaps, the Lord WILL enter your soul.

[GodCreatesGays2]

@siholgs, but of course, homosexuality is no more a "perversion" than you being the race you are, so your vain correlation between normal, adult relationships and pedophilia is already unfair.

[MrRyukage]

@siholgs Yes I did, beside you came to for the attention. You're just one huge sucker. You're just another disillusioned "ex gay",I don't have to try because many that are like you. Haven't ever heard of those ex-ex gays or Ted Haggard. Eventually that gonna happened one way or another.

[siholgs]

@MrRyukage Again, I thank you for talking as if you know my life. I suppose it your entitled for your opinion. However, it remains only an opinion. And no you didn't hit any nerve. Sorry to disappoint you.

[MrRyukage]

@siholgs,Gee I hit a nerve. I wasn't accusing you something, I was stating the obvious because there others like you who claim to be "changed" when really they don't love themselves enough to accept that fact they're gay and they choose to suppress that. You made it all too easy for me.

[siholgs]

@MrRyukage Ok, mryukage :) Thank you for talking as if you know my life :) It's funny, how people love to accuse other people of something they know not. Yeah, I don't need to suppress myself. That's why I'm exercising my right for free speech that is to tell people they can find redemption in Christ. I hope you will not suppress me for that. Thank you.
