I have already mentioned that Linda Seger's brand new, terrible book (Jesus
rode a donkey) lies and says lesbian practices are not given a thumbs down
in the Bible when in actuality they are (Romans 1:21-26). But I now want
to stress that she also claims that homosexuality cannot be cured usually.
She is either lying (most likely) or she hasn't done much research as I
provide a link to a place that has a 75% success rate in curing
homosexuality:

Not quite.
"There are two methods that are still in use by which therapists and
lay groups attempt to change sexual orientation: Reparative Therapy is
an experimental and controversial secular therapeutic technique.
Another consists of various religious and spiritual practices by
Transformational Ministries. Many groups that practice these therapies
estimate their "cure" rate at 70% or more. Many gays, lesbians,
mental-health professionals, religious liberals and human sexuality
researchers estimate a rate of adult sexual orientation conversion as
equal to or near 0.0%."

I am not familiar with 'Jesus Rode a donkey.....' by Linda Seger.
Amazon provided enough information for me to think she just gossiping.

'What the Bible Really says about Homosexuallity' by Daniel A.
Helminiak (2000). Forward by John Spong. Is well researched, genuine
and enjoyable.
Blessed be, Lady

Any book endorsed by Spong has _got_ to be wrong. And after perusing the
customer reviews at Amazon for this book, I can see this book is more wrong than
most!

No, it is NOT "well researched". And several of the reviews explained very well
why it is not 'genuine' either.

The answer to this should have been obvious. The author claims he is Catholic,
yet rejects the teaching of the Church concerning homosexuality. And the
teaching he rejects is _so_ fundamental, and his rejection of it so disobedient,
he has in effect excommunicated himself.

It is sad that anyone could be so deceived as to call such a books "well
researched".
