Now naturally I was somewhat confused by the link itself because what the hell does science and marriage have to do with anything, anyways?
Moving on, I played this 4 minute clip and realized that this is in fact a nice tightly wrapped propaganda piece for the Fundamental Christian Right to show their flock. It's not that the video was offensive in the fact that it could have said, "God hates Fags!", no, it was worse. It compared homosexuality with those who are pedophiles. But it justified the video's comments by saying it was about biology, not bigotry.
I could not believe it. The guy who posted it too was usually a pretty liberal-ish or so I thought Christian and I just wanted to let him know (maybe he didn't notice it when he watched it) that the "facts" the author shows in the video are untrue and disgusting. I also asked where Christ's love is in a video like this? What does a christian really accomplish for themselves except for making others (and most of the times their selves) feel like crap?
The dude wrote me back and unleashed heaven and (mostly) hell on me. He said and I quote, it was "bullshit" and I did not know his heart and ask me if I'd turn my back on God. He also asked me if I really read my bible lately. But I guess my point is the anger....the anger that came out of that was unbelievable I didn't really anticipate it. I thought I wrote a fairly even headed, non-biased thought-provoking response and he hit me with a crusade.
I really wanted to strike back. Hit him harder and I could have, but no good thing would have come out of it. We probably won't even see each other again anyway, so I just said, this is not productive, I will still believe what I believe and you will still believe what you believe. No point in further discussion. -->unfriend.
I hate the fact that I'm coming from such a community that can get hateful and divisive, especially when a lot of these people I used to care for deeply. Now it seems that when you throwback to spiritual matters they bring up an acceptance clause, but once you get too close, some nerve..they go absolutely nuts. But they say it all in Christ's perfect love, Motherfucker!
