Gosh, another intolerant person. It's just getting so you can't help but bump into someone just like yourself around here. You said that just like I tell people...I'm not scared of them...they are repulsive and need to go away with their sick lifestyle. Of course, there is an apologist or two on the board who takes up for perv/freaks....I don't know which is worse, the guy who has lost his rabbit-assed mind and become a freak or someone who says they embrace Godly values who apologizes for the freaks.
In the spirit of Christian brotherhood, I'm going to respond. Only I'm going hope you actually act like a man for a change and actually debate instead of engaging in your usual drive by style of a "point" made and undefended coupled with an insult. Not only is it rude, its also kind of sad, I'm just sayi'n.
Here's the thing. I am hetero-sexual I was born that way (so, presumably are you unless you're just protesting too much). The thing is that I know that there is no amount of prayer, counseling or social stigma that could get me to turn gay. Why then should I assume that Homo-sexual behavior is any less inate and therefore morally ambiguous at worst?
As further evidence "choosing" to be gay and embracing the stigma from bigots like yourself is deeply irrational. It would be like choosing to be black in 1960s Alabama. Who would choose that?
As Reagan famously said, facts are stubborn things. When ideology, predjudice or even theology run up against facts and logic, you better adjust the former because the latter aren't going anywhere. Its not scripture thats on trial here Rastus, its how you how we read it. Its the human reader thats the weak link. You are a literalist who , amazingly enough (that would be sarcasm), sees it as confirming secular cultural predjudice, even as it ignores evidence. I think exegisis is a bit more complicated and that Scripture should provide a phrophetic critique to secular predjudice rather than a confirmation of it. As a final note your great grand dad and mine saw no problem with JimCrow and the scripture. Now fundamenalists do. What changed, not scripture, just how facts made them rethink how to interpret the bible.
