Isn't the church's position that homosexual feelings are not sinful tantamount to saying they are feelings you cannot possibly control? |

Yes it is a sin. But most people who would be upset by that notion have the wrong understanding of sin.

Yeah what if one was to seek the proper counsel for their homosexual thoughts and not feel relieved or make much progress? Does the Church as a whole believe that if you try hard "enough" that the thoughts WILL go away?

It's quite possible there are some temptations we must struggle with our lifelong. Homosexuality is not the only sinful desire people fight, but it seems to be the only one folks are interested in normalizing.

Do we take the thoughts precede the action beyond its natural conclusions and beyond its pedagogical purpose?

She doesn't even have to be funny, just attractive.

What does the Russian proverb, "All cats are gray at night" have to do with this?

Well there you go Rocky. She doesn't have to be funny or attractive.
