If it was their goal to overcome homosexual desires and at that particular time in their life they had no desire to seek a spiritual awakening, what business is it of yours?
I'm telling you that you can't force Jesus on anyone, and denying people secular therapy would be doing just that.
Ask someone who has homosexual desires and wants to overcome them.

Cure Me I'm Gay - The Truth About The Latest Anti-ex-gay Pseudo-documentary

The article points out how LGBTQueer activists lie about therapy for those wanting to overcome homosexual desires.
And how about those like Joshua Alcorn who killed himself because the therapy he received from his pastor didn't work? (Refer to the recent table of contents for the sad story of Joshua Alcorn).

I think that you need a constant reminder about how deadly the homosexual lifestyle really is.
There you go using the lies that you've been lead to believe are true put out by the LGBTQueer movement.

Please don't compare tobacco use with homosexuality; as I told homosexualists WizardofOz and Art Brain: it's disrespectful to God for me to even talk about the two in a conversation.

If they die without Christ, they will still go to hell and it was all in vain. They need Christ first, as without Him they have nothing. What is more important to you; that they come to know Christ or that they attend 'therapy' to 'become straight'?

Are you, someone who claims to be a Christian, telling me that Christians have no business telling others about Christ?
I'm telling you that you can't force Jesus on anyone, and denying people secular therapy would be doing just that.
What is more important to you, repentance or 'conversion therapy'?
Ask someone who has homosexual desires and wants to overcome them.

I have absolutely no interest in Christian Jessen or his documentary. I haven't seen it and have no desire to see it.
The article points out how LGBTQueer activists lie about therapy for those wanting to overcome homosexual desires.
I can only speak of the testimonies I've heard from people who have gone to such therapy. Some claim it helped them, some don't. Now, if those who desperately wish to seek such change but that change eludes them, what does that say about such 'therapy'?
And how about those like Joshua Alcorn who killed himself because the therapy he received from his pastor didn't work? (Refer to the recent table of contents for the sad story of Joshua Alcorn).

I am full aware of the health issues surrounding homosexuality, I don't need to be told what I am already aware of.
I think that you need a constant reminder about how deadly the homosexual lifestyle really is.
The results of the 'therapy' on adults is questionable. The results of the 'therapy' of children even more so. Taking a sexually confused child to such therapy will likely do more harm than good in my opinion.
There you go using the lies that you've been lead to believe are true put out by the LGBTQueer movement.

Yet if they do not want to change, they will not change. It's as simple as that. I smoke, I want change and I've struggled to change and stop smoking. Even with the desire to overcome, breaking away from this addiction is hard.
But if I did not have this desire, you could send me to a thousand stop smoking classes and give me all of the nicotine replacement therapy you wanted - I would still smoke.

For some people, that may be the very thing they have to deny. Let me reiterate what the scriptures plainly say on this matter. The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7 clearly states that it is better for a man not to marry. It could even be considered a blessing, and believe me right now I see single life a huge blessing!
