"Kill them homo's"
I was reading an article the other day about an ABC reality show that got cancelled. The liberals were concerned that while the end result of the series was a “happy” ending, the 6 weeks of gay bashing and racism that preceded it were unacceptable. Basically the show takes upper-class white families from
Boy I’m glad that broadcasting companies aren’t doing anything to feed into the stereo type epidemic. A rich white family from
Now don’t get me wrong, I am a Christian and I am not putting my seal of approval on alternate life styles. My quarrel is in the way these people (and they are people) are dealt with. And if you stand on a soap box and scream the end of the world don’t be afraid of being called names by the media after all your just standing up for your beliefs right.
So now that I have offended everyone, and your all wondering to yourselves, “What’s your solution Mr. Smartmouth?” I am so glad you asked. I am not asking that we “tolerate” sin, or even that we embrace it with “an open mind”. I am simply asking that we level the playing field and not glorify one sin over the other. Homosexuality is a habitual sin (lifestyle) like any other. It could be assimilated to alcoholism, addiction to pornography, drug abuse, or even compulsive lying.
Sin is sin in God’s eyes and yet some how in ours we have said that sin A is far greater than sin B. Because they commit sin A, but we just kind of fell into sin B. We must abhor all sin and love and respect all sinners. Because we are no better than they, only justified.
Would it be so bad to share your pew with a sinner for a few weeks, maybe even have one over for dinner? Maybe the holy spirit will touch their lives and that “dirty homo” will be the next Apostle Paul. So "kill them homo's" with kindness and love of Christ.

Most "alternative" lifestyles do not view their choice as sin. Some do not even view it as a choice. It's a tough one, J. I def get your point, and believe we should love our neighbors, but this post is obviously for the heterosexuals out here.
"so now I've offended everyone" ... came too soon. There's more you could say, and perhaps should. I'd like to hear this thought through some more, because I think your ideas and thoughts are valid ... just need to be developed more. Got me?
A deep subject with lots of thoughts and angles to analyze. We can see our selves more clearly from the eyes of those we are judging (though we wouldn't call it that)about where they see themselves and how we look at our our inner feeling about it.
To embrace a sinner, not the sin, to acknowledge the "issues", of which we all have some , to level the playing field we need to see the need that cries out for understanding. Don't people in an unpopular "life style" want to understand why as much as those who are condemingn them? Conflict within, regardless of it being sex with out marriage, lying, stealing, not being kind to others, claiming to be a christian but not acting one, not understanding how there could be a God, where do we look for proof?
If we look we will find what we want, love, compassion, instruction, acceptance, And if we would rather not look in this direction but turn through different pages and find hate, war, cast aways.
So what do we have to offer.
I say our own story of desperation, guilt, shame, hope, reconcilliation, we were no worse before we were found then anyone, and we were no better then most either. We just were where we where, and by asking he lifted us up and began the journey of bring us to completion in order that we can one day stand before Him unashamed.
Commandments and truth are relevant, and as they are revealed to those in need with compassion and love, those that need to better understand God's intention in life for them will get the heart and soul that will give them the courage to look at the situation in a more realistic way, choices that led to consequences, that became beliefs contrary to God's word, but in God's word there is love for those who reach this point in their life when they know the choice was wrong, and that God's grace will guide them through a change of direction if they seek to go.
Sharing relative truths about our own experiences, takes us to a level of respected understanding of pain an gives us compassion.
i totally totally agree with you. i could not agree with you more. homosexuality....argg people act like it's the greatest sin ever but all sin is sin. all sin is sin. can i go even father and say homosexuals need love and not hate? i hate that Christians show up at gay pride parades with demeaning signs that show sexual positions and say "God hates fags". i hate that.... that is not showing the love of Christ that is being disgustingly crude and mean.
that doesn't mean we should accept their sin but i think we do need to show them the true love of Christ that is greater than any love they have ever known and not disgustingly crude or mean.
