Imagine that you are the parent of everyone on this planet and then tell me how it would be possible for you to think that one of your children on this planet was not an attractive person, even a sexually attractive person, in some way or another. Oh, he is a fine boy!... I can imagine you saying. And I can imagine that you would think all of your daughters are fine and attractive as well. Every single one of them! Although some would be more attractive in some ways that some others are not. Ah yes, I can see it all so clearly now. If you can't, yet, don't fret. I'm sure you will someday when every person on a planet is a son or daughter of you and your wife, or wives. Assuming you are a guy. I'm not sure about that right now. Well, I can certainly get the idea that there is beauty in just about everyone, if you look hard enough. But sexually attractive? No. I can find beautify in horses and cars and guitars and vegetation too, but I'm only sexually attracted to women, and even then that doesn't extend to ALL women (yes, I'm a guy). 1

And that it is true just because an apostle said it? It may work for you, Ahab, and I am not here to judge, but I think you will find you are in the distinct minority on this issue. Most members of the church cannot choose to be sexually attracted to anybody, any gender, any time, anywhere. Trust me. cannot choose to think one way or another? Surely you jest. What is preventing anyone from choosing to think anything, do you think? Sounds like a deficiency in thinking ability to me, to think that some people can't think whatever they want to think about something, or anything, or everything. Nope. That's just some bad thinking. Anyone can think anything they want to think about anything, and thinking that all people are attractive, even sexually attractive, in some way or another is something that is very very very easy for me, and I think many others, to think.

I still have hope for you. Someday. And I already think you are a sexually attractive guy even though I just now found out that you are a guy. And no I am not mocking you, nor am I in the great and spacious building that Lehi saw. How's that for trying to get this thread back on track now?
