One thing we have got to do is stop pretending that all viewpoints are inherently equal;they most certainly and demonstrably are NOT. Would you give equal weight to the views of an insane ,sex addicted killer as those of a gentle person known only for helping and healing others ?
Many organizations and publishers have cheapened and diluted the Holy Bible by referring to their own specialized books on radio, automobiles, gunmaking, or whatever, as the "bible" of the particular field. Words have meanings, and it seems that our ancestors of the 18th and 19th centuries understood that better than we do.
How do you do that in court?
"If your religion says you can kill homosexuals, what's wrong with mine saying we should kill the infidels?"
(I am a Christian BTW. I just don't think it is wise for people to stand on a streetcorner and hurl insults at other people to get them saved.)
Excellent point. This is the elephant in the living room that everyone is tiptoeing around. The truth is that all viewpoints are not equally true, all behaviors are not equally virtuous, all opinions are not worthy of respect, and all actions are not moral or worthy of promotion.
Homosexuality IS wrong, it IS unhealthy, it IS immoral, it IS destructive, it IS a psychological and spiritual illness.
That is the truth, and everyone (except for a few) are afraid to admit it. Until more people speak out, we're going to continue on the road south in the handbasket.
