Is this really what Christians think of gays?

Question

Any thoughts on this 'preaching' method?

And please state your religion, thanks.

Answer 1

A bunch of blasphemous anti christian, propaganda. un fortunatly it does not sound too different from the Vaticans letter on the care of homosexual persons, of which the love of god appears absent. Homosexuality is not just about sexual behaviour. It is also about love and being in love. The only difference is the couple is of the same sex. Both the Chick publication as well as the Vatican letter are very similiar in which they are self rightous, demeaning, cruel, full of lies, fears, underlying hatred, as well as ignorance regarding the dynamics of sexuality They are also identicle to the tactics used by some misguided Christians from an earlier era to justify their prejuduces against Blacks, Jews, Native Americans, Asians, Pagans, and others unlike themselves also both documents are eriely and terrifyingly identicle to the tactics employed by the Nazis in their campaigns of madness and evil. As a gay man both documents are deeply injurious to my emotional health, my partner and I have been together for close to 13 years and is a model of the traits taught by Jesus Christ, Mohammud, as well as Buddha. On a final note I was born this way and have had plenty of oppertunity to relate to the oppisite gender to which I had no reaction both in terms of sexual arrousal and romantic. PS My spouse is full Chinese, (I, by the way, remember when it was considered immoral to marry much less love a person of another racial group) Finally I am well educated in Christian theology and scriptures.

Answer 2

+ Chick Publications +

I'm sorry but I cannot take anything that Chick Publications says seriously.

If we were to believe all that Chick Publications claim then we would believe the the Catholic Church:
+ Started Islam
+ Instigated the American Civil War
+ Assassinated Abraham Lincoln
+ Formed the Ku Klux Klan
+ Was responsible for the Inquisition known as the WWII Jewish Holocaust
+ Keeps every Christian's name in a computer in order to make persecution easier

Here is a detailed rebuttal to Chick's tracks: http://www.catholic.com/library/sr_chick_tracts_p1.asp

+ Homosexuality +

Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.

The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.

The Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."

Here is the text of the document, On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986): http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_df86ho.htm

For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 2357-2359: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art6.htm#2357

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Thanks for posting that. I think it'll be a great learning tool for my kids. Very well-done. I'm a Christian.

Oh, and as to the first question, yes, it's an accurate portrayal of what the Bibles says about homosexual acts. I think it's more of a lesson about how to stay strong in the face of official intolerance, however.

The Teacher was looking to punish that child based based on HER personal beliefs. That's not right.

Answer 4

nice.
