I am asking this for a friend, who unlike me, is a religious person, and in need of some guidance
He recently admitted to me that he is sexually interested in other males and has had "experiences" with them.
He is afraid to be open about this as the bible regards homosexuality as a sin, and is afraid of being scrutinized by the religious community.
I have told him that I am a non believer, but people are supposed to be created in the image of God, so there is nothing wrong with his desires.
He is quite conflicted as his experiences have shown that homosexuality is essentially an unforgivable sin.
I support his beliefs, and am looking for a way to convince him that his life style and religious beliefs shouldn't conflict.
Any input on this situation would be appreciated.
