If you have sexual feelings you don't like, then either accept
  them or redirect them somehow to a different purpose and hide
  them through celibacy.

  I think accepting yourself as you are is best. I see God as a
  synonym for other things. Love, tolerance, acceptance. Or
  randomness, nothing - whatever. All synonyms to me.

  But if you feel you _must_ agree with your pastor, then redirect
  it and hide it. But there are consequences. It may eat at you
  inside and drive you mad and you may cause an incident where you
  will be "exposed" later on anyway.

  Find other sources than your pastor's for guidance in this
  matter. You already have: You've come here. I think you'll find
  that this group doesn't believe God doesn't want you to be gay.
  This group and I agree, that if there is a God, then God would
  accept you as you are.

  Plus, you have a right to choose your authority figure.

  You also have the right to disagree with your pastor on this
  issue.

  Your pastor may be right about 10,000 things and wrong about
  this 1.
