ArchivedMy son is gay.As opposed to your sites, which are religiously biased? (and ReligiousTolerance.org has conservative essays on their site that are opposed to homosexuality, btw. Perhaps because the site belives in tolerance for other religions besides Christianity, you're against it.) Your friend, Satinover is a Conservative Christian who believes being gay is a 'soul sickness.' His site has a link to one of the many 'Family' institutes that try to discriminate against gays. He has an article claiming that all liberals are brain-damaged. "Middle-aged and elderly liberals are pretty much lost causes—the brain damage is probably irreversible (maybe neurosurgeons will come up with some kind of procedure for it, though)." Talk about fair and balanced!!! Here's a review from his book which I think suits the point. "Regarding the glib, dangerous phrase, "hate the sin, but love the sinner," this is the same sentiment that has always been used in historical Christianity as an institution to rationalize the fear and hatred toward differences that always resulted in death for the sinner. The history of Christianity is a blood-stained history of torturing the sin out of the sinner, of purifying the sinner of his sin by fiery death, of using the same feckless rationalization as that found in "hate the sin, but not the sinner" to finally banish from life those whom it hates and fears because of difference. Homosexuals are today's heretics and witches. We love them but we'll have to banish them from our churches and our institutions. God forbid that gays should stain the "sanctity of marriage." Gays--by divine definition--are a fundamental part of the fallen part of humanity. We should love them, but don't let them stain our own purity. How like a subtle serpent fear and hate creep into our love for the sinner. This kind of thinking lays the groundwork for all manner of modern mahem for the gay person, whether stretched, dying on a fence, or dragged to bloody death on a country highway, or driven to suicide because of the profound sense of loneliness that comes from hateful exclusion in youth. Jeffrey Satinover's unfortunate book is another wolf in sheep's clothing. How sad for today's world" Do some gay teens commit suicide? Yes, but so do some heterosexual teens. Yes, but the heterosexual children do not kill themselves as a result of their heterosexuality. If a gay teen kills himself, its usually because A) he is afraid to come out because of what will happen to him, and how his friends and family have treated him B) he has come out, and as a result he has been treated harshly by his friends and family, and he cant take it anymore If homosexuality was socially accepted, there would be less gay teens who are depressed, less gay teens who are self-loathing, less gay teens who are shunned and made fun of by their friends, and less gay teens who cant take it anymore and kill themselves to end the pain. But you dont care about that, do you? |
