    And yes, Mr. Semantics, there is a difference between identification and predilection. We all have some predilection or other; very few of us use that to identify who we are. Your obsession with complex argumentation doesn't define you as a person (does make arguing with you occasionally annoying! ); despite what Sparky thinks, my love of cats doesn't tell you who I am (one more 'cat lady' comment and I'm shipping him a full, used litter box parcel post!); why should a sexual predilection define a person?
    Does that comment have to come from Sparko himself?

                      The witness of such a person, even if they fail, is better by far than the people who argue that same-sex attractions are things that can and should be cured, claim to be cured, and then abandon spouse and family in order to pursue the supposedly cured attractions.
                      Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

                        Irrelevant. Even if I granted it, what does that have to do with self-identifying as homosexual possibly being unwise or unhealthy? My argument wasn't based on witness - yours was. It really doesn't matter since treatment wasn't even at issue.

                        Now, how is a failed witness better for the person? Is it more likely (as I suspect) that such identification leads to failure or less (as presumably you will argue) and if so, why?

                          The first person is at least more acquainted with a God who uses suffering as a way to purify us, while the "cured" person has only ever followed a god who enables them to follow their passions. Which of them is closer to the truth? Which of them is more prepared to see their failure as a moral one and not a technical one?

                            Well, if we can only assume a person is homosexual by personal admission, why can't we accept that a person is ex-homosexual by personal admission? Seems like a double standard, to me.

                            If, as some people claim, ex-gays are all homosexuals just repressing their homosexuality, I could just turn that around and claim that all homosexuals are just heterosexuals repressing their heterosexuality.

                              What does it matter? Read all about gay Christians here:

                              My sensus divinitatus is telling me that God says it’s okay to be gay and He’s really miffed that all that anti-gay junk got into the book. He says it’s time for a fresh look.

                                Because it is the difference between engaging in a sinful behavior and not engaging in it.
