Didn't Scripture also Supposedly Condone Racism? flyovercountry.blog-city.com: "What happens when scripture, which I believe is inerrant, violates another American's human rights? Could our pastors who preach the truth be jailed? Could Christians be called upon to practice civil disobediance? Clearly, homosexuals are waging an aggressive and cleverly executed war to normalize their behavior in American culture. Gay-themed TV shows are among the highest rated shows, gay couples are putting dents in the marriage armor, and gay couples are making significant inroads in the upbringing and educating of our unwanted children: foster kids. Am I prepared to lose my job and my freedom over this? Will my children have to make that decision?" Update: Upon further reflection I deleted most of what I had previously said. I dont feel confortable trying to make a value judgement like that. I do however still feel that bias against homosexuals masked behind the facade of merely following scriptures is a bit hard for me to take seriously. Would you go on to say that "if it wasn't for scripture I would be totally fine with gays being more acceptable in mainstream society"? My line tends to be drawn at accepting anybody as long as they don't victimize others or deny somebody else their rights to liberty. I feel that preaching intolerance is the first step towards advocating violence. If you tell someone that you don't like their lifestyle and they refuse to change what are your options then? I think its an easy decision. I dont have to make that decision between religious doctrine or human rights. And in reality its not all christians that feel the bible condemns homosexuality. I hope when of if that decision ever comes, you side with your heart. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. --1 John iii. 15. | |
