As for the article:
As for unrepentant sinners taking God's Word out of context:
Sure they do good things. It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization.
Where do you get homophobe? It doesn’t say they’re AFRAID of homosexshals, it says they don’t condone the behavior. Big difference there, Cheif.
EHH Wrong answer!
They are a Church! Churches cannot be expected to accept sin of any kind. What is the matter, can you not see the illogical and insane thought process that even invents a word, like homophobia, to attempt to manipulate people into accepting a social ill?
If my neighbor decides to get his jollies from a hole in a tree in his front yard, are we to accept that as normal and healthy too?
What do you mean by homophobic?
>> Sure they do good things. It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization. <<
And your forget they do good work in helping people with HIV, so they may not condone what some groups do, but they sure are gracious enough to help clean up after them in manner of speaking.
You people and your phobics...roll eyes. What`s next? some sort of phobic on the back of pedophile? Those poor pedophiles will be saying they are being treated badly.SARC
The Salvation Army is a Christian org, The Bible is very clear that homosexuality is an abomination. Thank God that the Salvation Army is standing firm!!
Yes we show love to the homosexuals, but it`s not love to tell them their life is OK to The Lord, because it clearly is not.
“Sure they do good things. It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization”
There is no such thing as “homophobia.”
People who are repelled by homosexuality are responding in the only healthy way to this disorder.
If you want to sell the false proposition that sodomy is in any way acceptable behavior, you’re knocking on the wrong door.
” It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization.”
They are not scared of homosexuals. Indeed, they provide services to any person, regardless of sexual orientation.
I think you are afraid of their religious conviction -— a Christianophobic who has no tolerance for religious convictions that do not comport with your own.
“Sure they do good things. It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization.”
No one said you have to like queers.
I’ve donated extra to SA this year.
“homophobic organization” Screw You!
That’s Queerspeak. If you mean they don’t condone homosexuality nor promote it, then yes they are that. If you mean “afraid of homosexuals”, they are not; they are Christ-centered.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Homophobic, nice try. There is no ‘phobia’ in volved, no fear, but a knowledge of right and wrong. Is this a bad thing?
“It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization.”
GOOD!
Re: “Sure they do good things. It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization.”
Please define what you mean by “homophobic”. The Salvation Army bases their moral standards on the teachings of the Bible. The Bible, in both Old and New Testaments, clearly teaches that homosexual behavior is a sin - just like rape, murder, adultery, etc.
Of course, you may believe that the Bible is “homophobic” because it teaches against homosexuality, and hence, the Salvation Army is “homophobic” because they stand by the Biblical teachings regarding these things. Is that what you are mean when you say that the Salvation Army is “homophobic”?
If so, the problem, for you anyway, is that any moral standard must then be described as “phobic” - i.e. thiefphobic, murdererphobic, adulteryphobic. Why? Because these are all acts that are taught to be sinful in the Bible and it sounds like you are saying that believing the Biblical teaching against homosexuality is “phobic” - therefore ANY act taught against in the Bible must also be “phobic” as well. Or, do I misunderstand you?
They just view the practice of homosexual behavior as unnatural which it is and we should not endorse such behavior. Which we should not of course.
It doesn’t change the fact that they are a homophobic organization.””
I doubt there are many people in the Salvation Army that were molested by adult queers when they were children—this is where the true homophobe comes from. Just because normal people don’t buy the marketing of sexual deviance means nothing except they don’t think felching, rimming, and other fecal-consuming behaviors are normal and healthy.
And I donate to them because of the good things they do.
I don't want my donation money funding any special-interest, liberal agenda.
“Homophobia” is a ridiculous word coined by the homosexuals in the 80’s to smear anyone who finds their behavior immoral, deviant and/or disgusting.
A “phobia” is an irrational “fear.” It is a low-level mental disorder. The word “homophobia” was coined at about the same time that homosexuality was removed — on a purely political vote — from the list of mental disorders.
So, with the stroke of a pen, homosexuality was “normal,” but truly normal people who object to homosexual behavior on any basis were suddenly mentally disordered.
Hogwash.
There is nothing “normal” about wanting to have — and imitating — intercourse with a person of the same sex. Sex and sexual attraction have an obvious biological purpose. Men and women have complementary parts for an obvious reason. Homosexual attraction and behavior are obvious dysfunctions. It is as if a person had an irresistible urge to eat by stuffing his food in his ear.
How is an organization that provides care and services without regard to sexual orientation, homophobic?
