Friend all of a sudden turned christian.

[e5]

He might have a problem like I dunno the name of it anyway.......... slap some sense into him

[Bun]

it's possible he had a special revelation... but he's probably just doing it for the attention.

[,Jess,]

I know some people who have like become Christians but not just overnight.
It could be that he is just doing it for attention and it's some sort of phase or he has genuinely developed some stronger belief in Christianity and will be some strict Christian for the rest of his life. It does normally take longer for someone to develop their faith etc though and definitely depends what is going on in someone's life.

He said he went to this thing during easter, which made him become Christian.
Which, how can that make you become Christian? I would of thought you would have to believe, not be told.
The reason I thought he was doing it for attention is because hes done it before (not the Christian thing) and atm at College, some one is getting more attention than him.

[leah]

;o It seems like he thinks he's being a better person,
try and talk him out of it,
but if he's that set on it then you're jst going to have to accept him the way he is, he might snap out of it as quickly as he got into it.

Hmm depends what this "thing" is. Some people can be told something which leads them to "discover faith", it's hard to believe unless that happened to you but it can happen. Obviously I don't know your friend but if he's done stuff for attention before then that's possibly the reason why now.

I accept any one for who they are, im just curious why he seams to be really forward about it.

I just put thing as it was easier than writing converting to Christianity
Yea, hes really forward about it (Like mentioning it all the time), which gives me the impression he wants to be noticed about it.

[jessLOL]

probably trying new things out..

i dont see how he can be gay and suddenly go straight over night though.

[Susie Dent]

Perhaps your friend is having a troubled time coming to terms with his sexuality so he has turned to the Father for help.

Unfortunately for him, he's still a gay and God hates gays so you'll see him in Hell lol!

[Inseriousity.]

He may have felt he had no sense of direction in his life. Are you possibly assuming that it is his sexuality that forced him to change Christian? It may be possible that there's another reason for him converting and that the 'turning straight' thing is just a side effect of this.

What type of Christian btw? Roman Catholic? Baptist? Methodist? Quaker?

There is the possibility of attention seeking. Does he normally do that a lot? I do think he's using Christianity as a safety net to try and make himself straight? Maybe he doesn't like being gay? However, it could just be possible that he was converted through words or a numinous experience. In this case, you'll just have to accept the drastic change in him.

If it was just attention seeking, it shouldn't last long.
