Seriously, I found this right on their home page:

Stephen Bennett, evangelist and recording
artist, told how Jesus Christ rescued him
from the homosexual life he had lived for
11 years.

There you have it. Its the "Pray the Gay Away" crowd hard at work looking for YOUR hard-earned dollars.

Rubbish.
In other words - you are closed minded and refuse to read anything that challenges your prejudiced views, even if it is correct.

No, which is especially interesting because Harrier claims to be a heterosexual virgin -- which according to his/her "logic" is a contradiction in terms.

I have no doubt that the person who wrote that believes that it is correct. But how do you know that person isn't lying? Are you really that gullible?

You're saying that of me? Coming from you? That's a laugh!

Interesting how you "tolerant" and "open minded" liberals refuse to read something that challenges your prejudiced and biased world view.

What is wrong, are you afraid that you will meet facts and have to rethink your faulty position?

I have much more respect for someone who reads something and critiques it, even if they remain unmoved, then for closed minded people like you who summarily reject something because they don't want to explore any opposing data or viewpoints.

That's funny, because you don't hesitate to label me a liar when I say that I never "chose" to be gay -- it just happened. Why don't you apply that same standard of skepticism to other people's personal testimony -- like the victim of religious brainwashing on the page you linked?

Also, and just FYI, I was never abused as a child, I grew up in a loving two-parent home, and having been raised in the 1970s I had absolutely no exposure to homosexuality in the media or amongst my friends. So there was no outside influence whatsoever that led to my being gay. It just happened.

So who's closed-minded now?

Also: I'd be most interested to find out why you label yourself a heterosexual, when by your own admission you've never had sex -- and according to you, one's sexuality is determined by the acts one chooses to engage in. Do you intend to continue evading that question?

You claim homosexuality is a choice when its clearly not!
I'm Bisexual - I didn't choose to be

Don't know why I have to bring that up to make a point.

How can you form any opinion of what the man wrote when you didn't even bother to read it?
