New Study: Sexual Orientation Can Be Changed

Peer-reviewed scientific survey looks at more than a century of research to determine that those with unwanted same-sex attractions can benefit from therapy and should continue to have access to it.

A new report in this month's issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Human Sexuality finds that sexual orientation can be changed — and that psychological care for individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions is generally beneficial and that research has not found significant risk of harm.

The study, conducted by the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), examined more than 100 years of professional and scientific literature from 600-plus studies and reports from clinicians, researchers and former clients principally published in professional and peer-reviewed journals.

Why would a homosexual want to change his/her sexual orientation?

Citizenlink.org belongs to the right wing Christian group "Focus on the Family." Not exactly a scientific organization. :lol: :lol:

they just reported the study, they didn't conduct it.

As for who would want to change. Maybe those that think it is a sin.

So Alice, do you believe that there is such a thing as sin? Do you believe that there are right and wrong?

Don't go flying off the handle.......I am asking a sincere question.

Of course I believe in sin...and right and wrong. I do not believe homosexuality is a sin...I don't like it, but I don't condem those that are homosexuals...period...end of conversation. Good night...

Why would anyone think that just because an organization is a Christian based organization it is not scientific? Sure there are some fringe religions that teach some strange things, but there are many institutes that are Christian based that are very scientific in their studies.

I had a couple more questions for you. Would you be able to answer them rationally?

Of course I believe in sin...and right and wrong. I do not believe homosexuality is a sin...I don't like it, but I don't condem those that are homosexuals...period...end of conversation. Good night...

Also a serious question!

If you do not believe Homosexuality is a sin, what do you base the things that you do think are sins on? Do you just personally pick what you think is a sin?

Depends on if they are rational questions, I suppose. But somehow I don't think that's gonna be the case. You can ask me any question you want to, and I'll choose to answer, or not. Either way you will definitely have your answer.

See why we call you the fluffster, you can never discuss something you just do a little drive by smart remark.

Believe sin is whatever you want to believe it is, no skin of my nose! Just makes you look stupid as usual to have no sound basis for what you call sin. But then again when has a liberal on here had any kind of rational explanation of something! :roll:

You do .

Remember you have your "Degrees of Sin" list.

You seem to qualify ' white lies' vs ' big lies' easily.

Lies? You make no sense!

I have no such list of Degree's of sin, the Bible is the one that shows their our not me! Sorry if you have a reading problem and can not read for yourself.
