"In the case of being gay, or even worse, being born gay, that lie is directly opposite of God's word. Unlike the lie that alcoholism is a disease, this lie of Satan may endure until the second coming because it is part of what precipitates the final judgment over a lawless and reprobate world.
In the absence of the magic alcoholic's gene that no one ever found, and the need to curb spending alcoholics were bounced off social security disability benefits all at once years ago. Gays are not drawing benefits for being gay but are yet clamoring for same sex civil unions and gay marriage benefits for their so called spouses.
The most damning aspect of Satan's lies about being born gay is that it reveals who the source of the lie is, and at the same time identifies the believers of the lies, as his very own children." - Michael Bresciani of the hate group Renew America.

He seems sweet and charming. I don't recall choosing to be gay. I was aghast at the idea. And I only believe in Santa, not Satan

But then that is merely an anagram Timmy.
I prefer guys that don't come in a box.

I've known some cute little devils whom I told to get themselves behind me.
Does that mean I am Jesus?

Sorry, couldn't finish the article. About the second sentence all the rest of them became, "Duh durr neer gurgle duh-duh dur duhhh."

I realise that we're all 'tongue in cheek' here, but i just want to say - Alcoholism IS a disease. I've lived with it every day of my life and i detest the Demon Drink.
So there.
cheers

To be fair, any ailment of the mind is a disease. I can't recall whether alcohol produces a true chemical addiction (thus is a disease of the body) or is a psychological dependency (thus is a disease of the mind), but that's immaterial
Now here's the thing, most folk who suffer from (eg) bipolar disorder wish they did not, and it is a recognised ailment. When I discovered I was homosexual I wished I were not, but it is recognised that homosexuality is not an ailment. I am now confusing myself.

Fair enough, timmy. From what i can see, alcoholism is six of one and half a dozen of the other. With enough exposure, anyone can become physically addicted - laboratory rats do. But true Alcies are also psychologically dependent. It can be managed and controlled, but it cannot be cured - it never goes away.
I knew a guy, a founder-member of AA in NZ. He was 23 years sober, picked up an offered drink at a wedding reception, thinking, 'what can it hurt'. He woke up half the country away 3 weeks later.
But, that's besides the point. I'm not sure what homosexuality is, but i don't think it's an ailment, any more than left-handness is. I've got that as well. People tried to train/educate/bash that out of me when i was a little kid. Didn't work.

Alcoholism is probably the most dangerous physical addiction. Cold-turkey withdrawal from heroin, cocaine etc is very unlikely to kill someone unless they have severe other health problems: abrupt cessation from alcohol (for those addicted) is frequently life-threatening unless supported medically.
At least, that's what I've been taught on the various courses I've been on about addiction since becoming involved with my young companion.
