Some say.

Some call it the spirit of homosexuality. They say it preys, perched on the back of every gay person you'll ever meet, upon the weak.

Some say it's satan's biggest and most favorite tactic for causing Christians to stumble and fall away.

Suddenly you're a 7 year old feeling like there's a demon on your back, convinced that you're under attack. Now you're wondering when darkness took residence in your soul, because you can't remember a time when you didn't feel these terrifying and loathsome feelings. You've been begging God to rescue you, to clean you, to heal you, for as long as you can remember, hoping that no one would ever have to know about the demon they all talk about so viciously. Surely, you think, you must have done something terrible to have opened yourself up to such darkness.

Wear something pretty. Lose some weight. Put some makeup on. Flirt more. Be approachable. Put the welcome mat out at your front door.

This will do it, this will bid the demon to run the other way. Find a man to save you from the evil within.

If that doesn't work..

Sorry, Jesus Christ doesn't hear your cry. Father God doesn't feel your prayers pounding on the heavens.

You must not be trying hard enough.

Sorry, the demon on your back is your fight to keep. Stay strong, don't give in, remain faithful in your loneliness, and remember, the only love you really need is Jesus. Pour yourself out for ministry and in prayer. Give your life to the secret place. That's where you will find your place. This is your call.

Forget the ache for intimacy. Put away from your mind the longing for companionship and romance. Render yourself a non-sexual being. You must.

Here is where you choose.

Salvation in suffering and isolation, or fleshly desire for a false love and a "lifestyle" in the company of evil.

The choice is yours.

And we wonder why children and grown men and women alike are killing themselves to escape the battle.

But remember, it's a choice.
