Is it homophobic to split up gay penguins*? |
Guest Sermon by Cosmetic Brain Surgery
If you look through the ten commandments, the core of faith for much of the planet, then as far as I can tell, at no point does it say 'Thou Shalt Not Be Gay.'
Therefore the believing community should not be concentrating on a few passages(**) and how they are used so much as looking at the bigger picture. In the gospels Jesus speaks against several sections of society such as the rich, the Pharisees, the Sadducees and those who judge others. I could be wrong, but despite Jesus not saying 'blessed are the gays and lesbians' he doesn't condemn them either.

In light of this and because some might say
gay men be crucified on Main Street and lesbians be burned at the stake Provo student suspended over anti-gay statementand that
each of these actions communicates the message that gays and lesbians are intrinsically less valuable than other human beings, perhaps even less than fully human. This in turn perpetuates society's denigration of its lesbian and gay members. And that denigration can lead to violence The Very Real Consequences of PrejudiceShould we take not arms and find understanding instead of conflict. If we are all as one and from one, then surely a dark path of hatred and belief that leads to violence cannot be preferable to one that teaches acceptance and tolerance. If we are one, then we simply cannot see each other as other.

Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work, But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

By this understanding, the Lord did not commandeth thee to have or have not sexual relations [with that man] but instead was warning us of the deep, profound mindset of Capitalism where Sunday is just another day of trade. We live in a world of profits, not prophets, who interpret the whims of the Great Orifice.
GingerZilla, who in his defence is offended by life in general, recently fired off a tweet that some could perceive as homophobic.
Such is the hysteria of a world where justice is dispensed by twits and beliebers where what makes us human must be cured.

Even if the intentions are not always overt or admitted, we should always question the intent of the words we hear and judge for ourselves. It is not always what we say that matters, for those that would lead us say many things, but what we do. Are our words made with fear, love or laughter?
