Religion is making-up a god to fit your definitions and image.

Faith is listening to what God has already communicated, living according to God's standards and being transformed through His power.

The Oprah message is just another "religion" - a really nice man-made belief system having no bearing on God's teachings.

Jesus was the Prince of Peace and embodiment of God in flesh - able to feed thousands with nothing, heal the sick and bring the dead back to life. His message was simple; God is inviting you into His Kingdom. But people reject Him because they want religion "their way" instead of "God's Way"

Those people who have overcome their same-sex compulsion and restored their heterosexual nature, describe homosexuality as a compulsion, similiar to alcoholism or drug addiction. I would not consider that a DIVINE RIGHT and the Bible clearly puts it into the category of sin.
