(Can you choose to get a boner when you see Brad Pitt? If not, then shut up. Provide evidence or admit defeat.)
No I cannot choose that because I know that even trying to would be wrong. By my scientific calculations, all homosexuals would have to do is realize the same thing, and proof! No more homosexuality in those people. All they need to do is choose to be straight and then work at it! They can suppress their immoral desires until they go away completely! Then they can live normal lives. It is really that simple.

Hey, it worked for Rev. Ted Haggert and a string of other fundies caught in homosexual affairs.
Oh, it didn't? Well, never mind.
Scientific calculations? I didn't know Believe It! actually knew science!
Anyway, aren't fundies supposed to hate science?
What are scientific calculations? Ones you do with a scientific calculator?
Laughable. Using big words (well, to him, they're big words) to pretend to have even a tiny clue what he's talking about.
Let's all try suppressing those desires together, shall we?

Well, I failed. How did the rest of you do?
Winston, if you are a normal heterosexual, you will get turned on by the view of a desirable female. But if you realize that a particular female is off limits, all you have to do is choose to be virtuous and poof, no more adultery, fornication or any of that wicked evil stuff.
"By my scientific calculations"
Yeah, I stopped there. No hope for seeing any of this data, I suppose?
Septic Sceptic, I looked and had no reaction whatsoever. I am a girl, and I am married to a man, so maybe because I am not one of those corrupt homosexuals that makes me able to control myself? Depending on whose thinking is prevailing though.
What amazes me about you fundies is that you think that because someone is homosexual, they automatically go sex crazy when they see men/women of their own gender. Why is it that you, as a supposed heterosexual, can control yourself and not go sexually crazy at the sight of every person of the opposite gender but a homosexual man automatically gets a boner at the sight of every man he sees?
I won't even touch your scientific calculations, although I would like to see how you came to your conclusions. I won't hold my breath though.
Asswipe.
"No I cannot choose that because I know that even trying to would be wrong. By my scientific calculations, all left-handed people would have to do is realize the same thing, and proof! No more left-handedness in those people. All they need to do is choose to be right-handed and then work at it! They can suppress their immoral desires to be left-handed until they go away completely! Then they can live normal lives. It is really that simple."
I know I'm not the only one who laughed at the "scientific calculations" thing, but am I the only one who imagined this was written by Thelma (velma?) from Scooby Doo when I read it?
/My glasses! I can't find my glasses.
BI!, are you really that simple?
"Scientific calculations". Ooooh.
[Show your work, dipstick.]
"By my scientific calculations, all homosexuals would have to do is realize the same thing, and proof! No more homosexuality in those people."
Just for kicks I'd like to see these "scientific calculations" of yours.
"[pointless and unfounded babbling]... It is really that simple."
No. It's not. Did you try the Brad Pitt experiment you were asked to? Same deal only in reverse. If you can't do that then you can't expect someone who is a homosexual to do a similar thing.
Yep, they can live normal, repressed, sad lives until the day they commit suicide. It really is that simple!
All it takes is a really long word like "scientific" or "calculations" to woo some rere-xtians, but this douche used 2... together! Looking at his posts, I just have to say that I smell a latent homosexual, the variety that waits until 40 to come out only to discover that you can't teach an old dog new "tricks".
And what scientific calculations would that be?
The repression of your own homosexuality?
Repression is not healthy.
Alright, alright godammit! in the name of science, here is the lesbian version of my experiment:

I've completely forgotten what my point was, but to be honest I no longer care.
If he's poe, he's a particularly persistent poe. He's been posting there for a while.
He's a fountain of ignorance who has insisted that Mirriam-Webster's dictionary definition is wrong, and his is correct.
You don't choose your sexuality any more than you choose whether you're more attracted to blondes or brunettes, you fool.
@Septic Sceptic:
I actually found the Brad Pitt photo more arousing than the Angelina Jolie one, and I'm a straight guy. And it's not that Angelina is unattractive to me either, Brad Pitt just happens to be damn hot. Just look at that manly chest. Rawr.
Winston Jen, I'm not expecting you to read this, but if you do: Just because you whacked off thinking of Brad Pitt once or twice is not the end of the world.
Also, would you please show workings with your calculations? I was trying to replicate your work before I found
god bothering(gay+ intolerant community)/gay
=Straight(closeted)
Help please?
Hi! I'm a practicing heterosexual. I cannot, for the life of me, shake this desire to have wall-quakingly good sex with beautiful women. Nor can I summon genuine erotic attraction to other men (except Brad Pitt, obviously, because: come on).
Therefore I see no reason to suspect anyone else of being different in the functions of their libido, wherever it may point.
Gay people just have to 'know' that being aroused by the same sex is wrong and they will no longer be homosexual. Right... So that's why people raised in super-Christian households where gayness is never talked about or is condemned don't ever turn out gay. Oh, wait...
Seriously, straightness has been the default and thrust upon everyone only until recently. Yet there have still always been homosexuals, no matter how hard people have tried to shame teh gay out of everyone.
... Why are some people yelling at Winston, the person who submitted the quote, and not Believe It! the idiot being quoted...?
By my scientific calculations,
@Septic Sceptic
It works for me. Whatever your point was.
Septic: I could really use a glass of milk now.
Also, Winston is the submitter -- he's one of us. Y'all need to read a little closer.
"scientific calculations"
The thing that makes science "science" instead of "pulled out of your ass" is a thing called peer review. Please post the results of your homosexual experiments for the review of the community. If your data withstands scrutiny, you just may be able to publish a theory.
If it doesn't, make sure the data you post is really well documented. I have an idea for a backup publication.
Ain't that easy, chief. Years before I came out I tried "choosing" to be straight and it didn't work, no matter how hard I tried. Being Catholic and believing in God didn't really help much for me, though I still am, and still do, respectively.
Can you CHOOSE to hate the foods you like? No. I still believe I live a normal life.
Nice argument. The response must have been quite a disappointment.
I'm always wondering when people say that homosexuals chose to be that way. I never chose to be heterosexual. I never had the option to be gay as I'm not attracted to men. I think that the question suggests that the asker is not totally straight.
Wow, "Believe (Sh)it!" wants us to accept he cannot choose to try anything he believes is wrong.
It's not about whether you would , it's about whether you could . You couldn't (assuming you aren't one of the numerous secretly-gay homophobes who get quoted here), and neither could gay men choose to be aroused by women.
"By my scientific calculations"
Uh-huh. I'm sure those were very rigorous.
"proof!"
Was that meant to say "poof"?
Just because you type in '58008' upside-down on a Texas Instruments calculator while wearing your grampa's glasses and doing your very best Urkel impression, does not mean the first turd you yank out of you sphincter in any way qualifies as "scientific calculations".
If sexual preference were a choice, then who's next on your hit parade? Chubby chasers?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
