My school newspaper is called The Macon Statement. It is a small publication, but it gets around the school. The front inside page of the paper is reserved for editorial space and today a Rev. Fuller wrote a piece about homosexuals. While proclaiming that Homosexuals were people too and we need to love the "person" not the "act"... he also said he believed that homosexuals were biologically homosexual and that not all biological tendencies are good and homosexuals should know theirs is wrong and just not do it. He compared homosexuals to pedophiles and those who partake in beastiality and that...deeply offended me. His evidence for how wrong homosexuals was the simplistic "When the bible speaks of homosexual acts, it condemns them." and that was it...
In all truth, you may not like what a person does...but I tell you this, I have a hard time thinking that a person is lost from God just because they love someone of the same gender... to be perfectly honest... I think God has much more important things to worry about than if a man's sexual partner is another man.
I could, poke enormous holes in this guy's article sure enough... like the biological claim... if homosexuality is biological, if a person has a natural tendency to be attracted to the same sex... then if you are a Christian, do you not believe that God made humans, made them completely and if God naturally placed a proclivity for the same sex in some people, is that somehow a mistake on God's part? I don't think so...
Also... comparing someone who wants to have any sort of relations sexual or otherwise with a consenting adult of the same gender to someone who forces themselves sexually on a child or an animal... is just irresponsible, disrespectful, and a blatant attempt to turn someone's life choice into simple depraved degeneration...
I just don't understand why some try so very hard to completely demean someone just because they are different.
