September 22, 201511 yr I definitely have heard it referred to as such. I have heard evangelicals say that homosexuality can be cured through prayer and therapy. I do not think it is. I belong to a Southern Baptist church and would say we are very conservative in our beliefs. I can honestly say I've never heard it refered to as a disease or heard anyone say God could cure someone of homosexuality. Certainly I believe God can deliver us from ALL sins but curing seems like an odd choice of words. Cancer, drug ediction, heart issues etc are what I would consider a disease. Homosexuality, pornography, adultery, etc are a different category IMO.

September 23, 201511 yr I have no problem with it. Newspapers are supposed to stir controversy in the editorial section.
September 23, 201511 yr I've heard the same. I thought everyone had. Not heard that phrase used and been active in church since 1995. Just out of curiosity who exactly said this? I mean is this a certain denomination using this or is this something you have heard non believers say that "Christians" say?

September 24, 201511 yr The Christians I know would not refer to it as "cured". I'm intrigued by these Christians you know.
