One of the nation’s most prestigious liberal arts colleges is advancing a “queer theology” agenda with hopes of destabilizing traditional beliefs about what the Bible says about gender and sexuality.
Swarthmore College, founded by Quakers, is offering courses in “queering the Bible” and “queering God.” The courses were first reported by Campus Reform.
“Queering the Bible” is a one-credit class that surveys “queer and trans readings of biblical texts.”

“By reading the Bible with the methods of queer and trans theoretical approaches, this class destabilizes long held assumptions about what the Bible – and religion – says about gender and sexuality,” the course description reads.
The school’s religion department is also teaching a class that questions the sexuality of the Almighty called, “Queering God: Feminist and Queer Theology.”
“The God of the Bible and later Jewish and Christian literature is distinctively masculine, definitely male. Or is He?” the course description reads. “If we can point out places in traditional writings where God is nurturing, forgiving, and loving, does that mean that God is feminine, or female?”
Key themes of that particular class include exploring the “tensions between feminist and queer theology” and examines “feminist and queer writings about God.”
Critics blasted the college’s religion courses and suggested they were meant to undermine Christianity.
“This is about sanitizing and neutralizing the prohibitions on homosexual acts that Scripture unequivocally condemns,” one observer noted online.
The president of Truett-McConnell University, a conservative Christian school in Georgia, accused Swarthmore of prostituting the Bible.

Come on Swartmore, stand up for your beliefs and immediately begin a
Queering of the Koran
Mohammed the Gay prophet
My mama always told me to NEVER think or say negative or blasphemous things against God or he would strike me dead. I think we’ll need to keep an eye on this total disrespect and blasphemy of Him at Swarthmore......somebody is in for a punishment like no other.
Of course homosexuality, glory holes, and random hookups in ‘bathing’ clubs is the TRUE path...
It’s ok for you to buy Ford because they REJECTED the bh0 buy out.
From now on I will refer to “gays” as “queers”, since the homosexual activists seem to love the term. There really is something queer about the attempt to force the normalization of sexual deviant behavior.
Self is God.
I have to ask, what's the point?
When Bernie Sanders talks about free college for all, I suspect nonsense like this is what he’s talking about, not technical or scientific training to make young people a benefit for themselves and the nation as as a whole.
Yup. We have a mustang. I waited till Chrysler was bought out by Fiat before I bought the Ram 1500 I wouldn’t buy for years because of the buyout ( I prefer ram over F-150 ). Heck I’d love a 392 challenger.
They really put people in boxes don’t they? I guess by their reasoning, women don’t possess strength or valor and men can’t be loving, forgiving or nurturing. What a limited world view.
bkmk
So when will they offer a “Queering of the Koran” class?
...but she changed her mind one day!
Love me some Mamas and Papas, my favorite harmony group ever.
Bible readings supporting pedophilia,abortion and socialism..won’t be long for this....
“But she changed her mind one day....’’
They are so obsessed with the bible even though they claim not to believe in God. This tells me otherwise. They know what they are doing is wrong and sinful and this is why they act out the way they do.
And add the 400 level course “Mohammed the Closet Jew”.
Mama Case was outstanding in this one. Sing For Your Supper.
