The Good Men Project has an awesome top ten list: Ten Things I Wish the Church Knew About Homosexuality:
1. If Jesus did not mention a subject, it cannot be essential to his teachings.
2. You are not being persecuted when prevented from persecuting others.
3. Truth isnât like wine that gets better with age. Itâs more like manna you must recognize wherever you are and whoever you are with.
4. You cannot call it âspecial rightsâ when someone asks for the same rights you have.
5. It is no longer your personal religious view if youâre bothering someone else.
6. Marriage is a civil ceremony, which means itâs a civil right.
7. If how someone stimulates the pubic nerve has become the needle to your moral compass, you are the one who is lost.
8. To condemn homosexuality, you must use parts of the Bible you donât yourself obey. Anyone who obeyed every part of Leviticus would rightly be put in prison.
9. If we do not do the right thing in our day, our grandchildren will look at us with same embarrassment we look at racist grandparents.
10. When Jesus forbade judging, that included you.
All my best,
The King of Spades
