Exodus International shuts right the hell down.

For the same reason some of you feel you can judge the actions of God against your own version of 'morality'

I can judge the actions of God against his own morality, if you prefer. He does not even meet his own standards.

It's a super inflated sense of self right-ness when measured against a gander of like minded believers. In short it is because people derive righteousness apart from the God of the bible, or in a word. They are self righteous.

I'm certain they would tell you that they are interpreting the Bible and God's word correctly. Who's correct and how do you prove it? I bet that would be a debate that would never end.

In biblically based churches there are consulors who specialize in all manner of sins. The larger the church the more support and more sins that are covered. But for most churches the 'major' or most life changing disruptive sins gets the most attention.

The irony of this being that the only reason homosexuality is life-changing and disruptive is because Christianity views them as enemies of God. Without that constant and heavy negative influence, homosexuals would not live lives significantly different from heterosexuals.

If gay feelings simply stopped at just feelings then i doubt we would have very many gay people. The fact that we do suggests that feelings are just a gateway, and some people see that and want to stop before it becomes a problem.

Again, it is only a problem for people because Christians try so hard to make it a problem for them. If the roles were reversed and homosexuals oppressed heterosexuals in the same way, you would be saying precisely the opposite of what you do now and heterosexuality would be a problem in your eyes.

Or someone has let it go for too long and it is now out of control and this sort of consuling is their only hope in returning to the family that they love.

If a family ostracizes someone for their sexual orientation, that is not a family who is worth returning to, because that is not a family who loves them.
