As far as I'm aware, you can't convince yourself through reason that cock is delicious or that vag is juicy and satisfying. I'm entirely certain that there are people who suppress their sexuality due to religious affiliation - but I bet that their mouths secretly water when they see jesus half nude on a cross, or when they imagine undressing mary in all her virginal glory. Imagine being a gay muslim man, 2 inches away from all that asshole 5 times a day. Makes me sweat just thinking about it. More than one "accidental" whiff has been taken at prayer time, I'm sure.

I love it when you talk dirty.

Why would an homosexual subscribe to a religion that considers his sexual behaviour as immoral and sinful, taking into account sexual orientation is a central part of most people's lives?Here's one person who thinks it makes sense:

In a nutshell, she doesn't think that Biblical condemnation of homosexual behavior applies to such behavior if it's in a loving monogamous relationship.
Personally I think her interpretation is wrong, but I don't see that that excludes her from being a Christian. She could be saved and going to heaven. IMO she'll suffer some loss of reward.
Christ never directly addressed the topic. And many things He did address are 100% totally ignored.
I find it hysterical when Christers trot out extremely tiny and specific bits of Leviticus and then start the finger wagging at people they don't like, all the while with shrimp in their tummies, mixed fabric clothing upon their bodies, a second or third spouse waiting for them at home, and glasses of poison still undrunk under their sinks.

Just because of all the hypocrites we atheists see in the churches would not automatically put off suitably inclined gays from thinking they would fit right in too.
