Instead of focusing too much on bashing gays, we should really be concerned with how we can help them help themselves by seeking counseling and other services to help rid them of their abnormalities in the brain. These beings have chosen a lifestyle that is disgusting, filthy, sinful, and only can lead to eternal damnation, and as Christians (well, most of us here are Christians), it should be up to us to help these people find help. They need it. Stop the hate, and direct to the cure centers.

What we as Christians desperately need to do is PRAY. Only God can change the hearts and mind of men.

However, God gives man freewill, and unless these people go out and seek help for themselves, I doubt praying alone will do a whole lot.

Yes, we have free will but I seriously doubt that we became Christians purely because we freely wanted to be saved. Someone prayed for me to receive salvation and in turn, we are called to pray for those who are loss so that they can turn from their sins and seek out Jesus' free gift of salvation.

I cannot speak for all gay people...but I can say that I do not want your prayers, nor do none of my friends, or all the other gay people that I have known in my life.

Save your prayers for something constructive...finding a cure for disease, pray for those that are hungry, the homeless, pray for world peace...pray for any of the hundreds of challenging issues the world faces...

This is a "wind up"...yes?
If this thread is real then i think the help should be given to anyone who agrees with the sentiments of the OP.
Homosexuality is NOT an illness or an abnormality of the brain. Every animal on the Earth has homosexual tendencies and Humans are no different. Humans are born either Heterosexual or Homosexual. It ISN'T a choice. Homosexuals are no different to Heterosexuals except in their sexual preferences. They should have exactly the same rights as Heterosexuals and to use a man made book ( the Bible ) as a template for human sexuality is at the least naive and at the worst, just plain Dumb.
If the Bible is to be believed and Humanity started with just Adam and eve and then their offsprings, why is Incest illegal?
The only counciling needed today is for people who think that Homosexuality is some kind of illness or curse.

I agree, there is a cure to every disorder/disease... its just a matter of when it is found.

Kereczr.... you are right. Amazing how Sodomy is a sin for Homosexuals but a fun pastime for Heterosexuals.
