Thursday, July 8, 2010 @ 9:50 am I found this on a friend's blog so I decided to repost it here: What the Bible Says - And Doesn't Say - About Homosexuality As incredibly well-written, well-reasoned, and well-laid-out the pamphlet is, I find it hard to believe (call it the cynic in me) that those who need to understand it the most will be swayed at all by that logic... especially since--as in the case of mothers sometimes--you can't argue with a non-logical person. It's... unfortunate, to say the least. And as a gay Catholic, it's personally very distressing. The entire thing is structured on the following eight premises: 1. "Most people have not carefully and prayerfully researched the biblical texts often used to condemn God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children." I think special attention should be paid to premise number 7--especially the part where it says, "Love one another." Because most of us forget that the major focus of the overwhelming majority of the world's religions (as well as the focus of people who choose to opt out of those religions) is to treat others with kindness, love, and respect. It's universal. Anyway, it's a pretty good read. And I highly recommend you keep it in your repertoire of things to cite or point people towards when you run into one of those Bible-(mis?)quoting zealots and you become frustrated by how blinded by their "faith" they are on the point of homosexuality. Even if, as I said before, they might not be receptive to it. 4 Comments. » Zanzibar on 2010-07-08 07:02:58 I read the thing. That first comment was meant to be a heart. » Zanzibar on 2010-07-08 07:03:26 It's infuriating to me when fundamentalists can't accept that some things are just part of humanity. Sexuality, Science... I blame politics. re: Thanks! Aaaaand NICE book list » of_your_mind on 2010-07-09 02:20:59 I was just debating this! My friend and I were bemoaning the existence of certain douchebags who go around spreading hate in God's name. What's upsetting is that when I mentioned that I DO maintain that homosexuality is sinful, he immediately argued against me as if I was one of those very douchebags. There was no difference for him between hating the sin and hating the sinner, so he assumed I hate gay people. Not all Christians are homophobes... :/ Anyway, I have logical (biblical) reasons for my beliefs regarding sexuality, but I am interested in how your friend defends it. Was there more to his post? » middaymoon on 2010-09-14 01:23:54
