Your daily dose of stupidity brought to you from this thread at
ljchristians. I feel bad for the original poster because they really seem to be looking for advice on how to help their friend, but I don't think they realize that this is not the place to look for it. I don't know if
ljchristians is has bad as
christianity can be about this, but...damn it all, even though I know I shouldn't look, I did. As this is one comment that I found.
Im sure I'll be shot down in flames for for saying this, but its a lie to say someone is homosexual. As hard as it may be to accept, attraction to people of the same sex is only natural in that its natural for mankind to sin; and having sexual relations with people of the same sex is a sin.
Its' not something you "are". It is a behavioral type and generally reflects some kind of hurt or problem in the past.
Your dear friend does not have to dispair though: The answer lies in the blood of Jesus which can heal her wounds and change her desires. The trouble is finding a christian pastor who understands this, and is able to love the sinner despite the sin. She also must not cut herself up about it. She needs counselling and deliverance from her past. Once that is done, the sin which is the symptom will disappear.

Sometimes I really hate Christians. Which sounds bad considering I am one, but I can't lie about this. Sometimes I hate the people who share my faith. I can only hope that the comment I left in the thread will be of some help to the original poster's friend.
I just wish that people would actually...oh, I dunno, know what the hell they're talking about before they speak. I'm tired of hearing this shit. Oh, well... Be the change you want in the world, right? I guess the only thing I can do, and that other people can do, is reach out to people who are confused and questioning and maybe bit by bit these kinds of answers will disappear.
I dream, right?
