Today’s broadcast (Real Audio) of Focus On The Family is entitled Biblical Perspective on Homosexuality, Pt 1 (of 2). It consisted of a prerecorded sermon by Tommy Nelson overviewing scriptural passages in the Bible. Nelson has two foci: 1)Countering gay-friendly interpretations of passages. 2)Making a variety of Adam and Steve type arguments clearly irrelevant because of what philosophers call the naturalistic fallacy.
Furthermore, this broadcast only served to remind us of Timothy’s point last week the Bible makes a stronger argument condemning homosexuality. Timothy reminded us the Bible also makes a stronger case FOR slavery than against it.
The broadcast was concluded with an endorsement of Focus’ upcoming Love Won Out event in Boston.
Same shit, blah, blah, blah. But what’s so funny is the set-up. I’m just gonna read scripture and let you make up your mind. Then, of course, he does nothing but tell you what he thinks scripture means and guess what………gays are going to hell and women don’t fair any better. Just a miriad of reasons of why I’m not a christian.
I’ve covered Focus’ strange emphasis on homosexuality a couple of times on my blog. After Randy Thomas told me that Focus and other groups do not spend too much time on gays, I noted that their radio and Internet broadcasts average more than one spot per day about gays. Interesting. One would think it is the only sin out there.
Do you have these emails from Randy still? I would love to make an infographic out of them.
Women and homosexuals….
Our mission to equality is clear. The world easily and breezily represses and abuses us.
But I say the OCHWEYI….are god’s chosen!
And we are so very powerful to scare these sad little men so…and be the harbingers of the end of the world if we stood side by side….
Still we rise…..
