In Adam, we corporately rejected the good rule of God over our lives.

Funny, I don't recall rejecting something ~6000 years before I was born...

^edit:

In 2010, Matt converted to Christianity from a lifestyle of homosexuality.

Did you guys know that Christianity is a sexual identity? I think I missed that memo.

This guy lives in Tennessee - I guess this article is not all that surprising.

Or the alternative: gay is a religion, in which case I've been doing it all wrong.

So much self hate. I hope he doesn't marry this "one woman" he's managed to convince himself he's attracted to. She deserves a husband who, you know, likes to have sex with women. I'd like to hope that things will work out for this guy, but I know that he's on a long course to suicide. How sad.

Ugh, no single book of the Bible is responsible for more guilt and self-loathing than Romans.

The saddest part is that the author seems to understand that he may never "get over" his homosexuality. Right there, on the cusp of realizing that homosexuality is normal and healthy, he got "saved" by discovering how sinful and terrible he is.

It's just awful. Gives me flash backs to the turmoil of my own "salvation."

It's extremely disheartening. He came so close to making it out.

Never understood the whole homophobic angle on the bible. More so, Never understood anyone gay ok with the bible. If they don't want you, fuck em! find a religion that's ok with you. That's what I thought when I was a christian.

Now, its just fuck everything to hell and just go be an atheist.

Romans 1 says that the whole reason homosexual desire even exists is due to our rejection of God’s loving rule and authority over our lives.

....and definitely not because people are born with same sex attraction. The author even says he knew he was gay as a child. Does a child really reject "gods loving rule and authority"?
