Against Gay Christians and their religious ideology
Christian doctrine is that judging means deciding what punishment a person should get for sinning when that is not your place. It is distinguished from telling somebody that they are on the wrong path. Only God can judge how culpable a person is but it is argued that any person can work that out but only up to a point. So only God can do it based on all the data. The Bible and Christian tradition say the sinner must be spoken to about the wrong things they are doing. This is seen as an act of love not hate. The Catholic Church refers to it as a Spiritual Work of Mercy. All LGBT in the Church cannot combat this except with lies saying that any attempt to get the person to rethink is hate and judgment. And if the Bible condemns or - which is a different matter - just not encourage LGBT sex the gay Christians are deluded and no real friends of LGBT rights. If the accusation of hate is hateful, then these people are only encouraging attacks against LGBT.
Christianity says that the whole Bible is the word of God despite God having
commanded that homosexuals and adulterers be stoned to death. The Christians
absurdly claim the right to revere and adore an evil book as God's word. They
exclude any Christian who comes up with a better list of books that she or she
thinks is the word of God. When they do that, they have no business complaining
if some people interpret the Bible as a justification for doing harm.
Pro-gay interpretations of the Bible are forced and fanciful. The fact that gay
and lesbian Christians advocate such a book as the word of God certainly proves
that they cannot complain if somebody comes up with an anti-gay interpretation.
Interpretation is a free world.
The Bible never actually states that falling in love is to be recommended ever.
The love it advocates between wife and husband is love that is freely given. It
is self-sacrifice. Falling in love is having an addiction for another person. In
so far as it is addictive, it is harmful. The LGBT community cannot say that the
Bible honours their love.
The doctrine of Jesus Christ that we must love God with all our hearts and love
our neighbour as ourselves is harmful. It is silly to imagine that if a doctrine
is harmful it should be changed or abandoned and to claim to be a follower of
Jesus.
The idea that we must love God alone or first of all is arbitrary. It is
discriminatory. Thus the most important teaching of the Bible advocates
discrimination. Gay and lesbian Christians should embrace and bless the
persecution they get for being gay or lesbian when they implicitly endorse
obnoxious Christian doctrine. If they don't want the discrimination, then it is
time to slam the Church exit door behind them forever.
Gay and lesbian Christians claim that God made them gay or lesbian so it is not
a sin for them to have sex with the same sex. But how a Christian can say this
is bizarre considering that according to most Christians God set up the laws
that babies would be born in original sin and with defects that need to be fixed
by turning to Jesus Christ in baptism. The Church says that some people feel
only love for somebody else's wife or husband and such desires must not be
willingly nourished or tolerated. The Church says that this is a form of
heterosexual orientation that is sinful. It will not listen if those people say,
"I was born this way with the need for that person. I know I can only love once
in my life." The Church will say it condemns such orientations just as it
condemns the gay orientation.
Gay Christians who believe in original sin are only setting up their support for
LGBT rights for a fall. And those who pretend to understand Church teaching
better than the Church does are doing the same thing. For Catholicism, it is
vital that the Church avoids the suspicion of being influenced by fashion and of
being a man-made religion that can reinvent itself.
Gay Christians betray gay rights. By claiming they follow Christ, they are
saying Christ was an authority that knew what he was talking about even if we on
earth don't. God can allow and forbid things for a mysterious purpose. He sees
the complete picture so we see only a part of it. So they are saying that if
they are wrong to think God condoned gay sex and he did forbid it then we should
obey him and forbid it too. By supporting Christianity, they are opposing gay
rights though they pretend they are not.
Gay and lesbian Christians are supporting a harmful faith. If they don't want to
be harmed or harassed for being gay or lesbian, then they should jettison that
faith. There are plenty of other faiths that are more suited.
Nobody doubts that most religion gets its followers not through reason or
discussion but by conditioning. People are often lazy in relation to thinking.
We get the habit of assuming what the people around us assume in childhood and
it stays with us. There are so many religions and most of them are absurd beyond
belief - they are stranger than fiction. Their followers do not listen to reason
and don't want to. Only one religion can be right meaning the odds of being
right are very very slim. Christians despite all this have the bigotry and
effrontery to support a faith that teaches that if your loved one commits
suicide they could have gone to Hell to suffer forever for it. Vicious religion
like that shows how powerful conditioning is and how religion warps people. To
support religion is to support the worst form of conditioning. And it is the
most obvious form of conditioning. Gay Christians by condoning Christian
conditioning and intimidation of people have no right to complain about
Christians who are conditioned to oppose homosexuality and who condition others
to oppose it too.
Gay and lesbian Christians will need to say that sex without love is an abuse.
In that way they are homophobic towards gays and lesbians who wish to have sex
casually and who don't like being involved in relationships.
Could they believe that sex without love isn't always intended to be the using
of another person and letting them use you? No. They say there is no excuse for
a rich employer who pays an employee slave wages. They say that even if he says
he does it to toughen the employee up, it is still abuse.
As Christianity teaches the love of sinners and the hatred of sin it is a
religion based on lies. Gay people should not trust such a faith. A faith that
is capable of hate and covering up that hate would be happy to turn on the most
harassed members of society.
For gay people to expect Christianity to change its teaching that homosexuality
is wrong is for them to say that the religion is man-made and can be changed. It
can hardly be from God if it needs correction. And they are repudiating the New
Testament teaching that the final revelation came through Jesus Christ and he
completed the truth. He said he came not to do away with God's law in the Bible
but to perfect it. So when the gays indicate by their approach that Christianity
is human not divine and has revelations that are simply wrong they say a lot
about themselves when they campaign for change. They want to fit in with a
man-made faith. They want to declare that man has the right to write books and
give revelations and claim without proof that they are the musings of God. That
is actually disgusting. They should abandon Christianity or start their own
version and write a new Bible. If they want equality, then acting as if the
dogma makers of Christianity have the right to invent religion and they don't is
hardly a good way to go about it! They deny the equality they seek.
Even if a gay and lesbian person could support the Church by using its
sacraments and attending worship, they certainly cannot justify giving the
Church money. The money is being used to promote a message, a message that
includes the belief that homosexuality is a sin. The money will not be used to
promote any gay interests - rather it will be used to scare young people into
thinking that if they have gay relationships they can go to Hell forever or will
go if they do not repent. The Church thinks that they should go to Hell forever.
It will hypocritically answer, "We don't want anybody to go to Hell." But what
good is that? The point is that they say a person under certain circumstances
should be sent to Hell and belongs there. To say such a thing is an act of hate.
Hate is not necessarily a feeling that you want somebody to suffer. It is the
will to see somebody suffer. Suppose a person feels great hatred for you but
does not act on it and can't help it. Then suppose that person does good for you
then that person loves you in spite of feeling the hate. The person who hurts
you is hating you in the real sense: hate is trying to bring pain on another.
Real hate is not a feeling. It is not hate to feel a great dislike or a
vindictive dislike. It is hate to foment it or to do nothing good to weaken it.
It is hate to neglect to try to get rid of it.
Gays and lesbians would agree that it is wrong to support a charity that engages
in even in a small level of racist activity. And then they go and support the
Church with money! That is worse for the Church is not a true charity. It cares
more about holy buildings and giving material comforts to men in funny collars
than hospitals etc. The Church says its job is not to build hospitals but to
preach a message. Its job is not to help people but to help people believe what
it believes. The gay and lesbian activist who pays money for the upkeep of the
Christian religion is a hypocrite.
Christians who believe in evolution often argue that God through evolution has
put a built in revulsion for same sex love and love-making into us. They say
that this is natures away of deterring us from unnatural sex and puts a limit on
what should be acceptable sexually. They will say that homophobia, distaste for
the homosexual because of his or her sexual practices, is natural. They will say
that gay people are opposed to the right of heterosexual people to be repelled.
They will say that being repelled is a part of normal sexuality and accuse gay
people of being opposed to heterosexual rights. They may say that evolution
pushes us towards reproduction and so gay sex is unnatural and it is unnatural
for a straight person to feel no revulsion. The revulsion is natures away of
protecting us from becoming gay.
Gays and lesbians should accept exclusion from the Church. They must not
complain about this for it is as much a compliment to be expelled from the
Church as it is the BNP. Every organisation and business has to do some
excluding. You cannot complain if you are part of a Gay Liberation Movement and
you start saying all gays and lesbians should be celibate for it's a sin to
express their sexuality and if you are expelled. Gays and lesbians should
welcome exclusion from the narrow and bigoted Church instead of paying it the
compliment of valuing it so much that such exclusion distresses them.
Gay and lesbians who support Christianity need to open their eyes. They need to
reject that faith instead of having a far-fetched "interpretation" of the
numerous Bible texts that condemn gay sex. Their case is thin. Don't claim
affiliation with Christianity when you tailor its doctrines to suit you! You are
not Christian then! You are a religion of your own!
