Is the Church intolerant for not Accepting Homosexual Behavior?

[vern_humphrey]

Forty years ago, someone asked me, “How does it hurt you if someone else has a child our of wedlock?”

For the life of me, I couldn’t answer that – but today I can look around me, see whole sections of society where most chidren are born out of wedlock, and see how that is associated with poverty, crime, and so on.

Forty years ago, someone asked me, “How does it hurt you if someone else decides to take drugs?”

For the life of me, I couldn’t answer that – but today I can look around me, see homeless people, their brains literally burned out by drugs, drug-related crime, and drug-related disease.

Now, I may not be able to predict today exactly what will happen if we recognize gay unions as “marriage” – but I’ll bet money that in forty years we will look back and wish we had nipped this in the bud.

Not intolerant, but considered this way by people who have little understanding of the phenomenon of homosexuality.

It’s not an either/or genetic/environment thing. It’s a complex phenomenon, beginning with a moderate genetic influence toward this behavior. . . and substantial environmental (social and behavioral) aspects. Read Jeffrey Satinover’s book, Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth.

For me, the infuriating thing is the manipulation of the democratic process by gay activists. I believe in the democratic process, not the fascist power-politics the homosexual advocates use.

Oh vern, this post is so beautiful it nearly made me cry.
