Homosexuality will never be normal
No, no, a thousand times no!!!!
A thread running through the discussions of various "hate crime" and "special protection" legislations being discussed in this blog is the status of those who practice homosexuality. I have stated my viewpoint clearly, that homosexuality is a choice, it is a sinful practice, but that it is wrong to act as if homosexuality is any more sinful than adultery or thievery, etc.
It is also very apparent that there are many forces who have joined together to promote the homosexual agenda. Allow me to present their apparent goals:
1) To elevate homosexuality to the same status in society as heterosexuality.
2) To thoroughly decriminalize homosexual behavior.
3) To force anyone who believes otherwise to, by law, act as if they are in agreement with the first two points.
4) To cause those who disagree to face financial and legal penalties for taking the other side.
Shall we review?
1) To elevate homosexuality to the same status in society as heterosexuality.
The push to change the long-held tradition of marriage from being only a joining of man and woman into something altogether different is one of the main goals in seeking to bring this about. Marriage, a tradition handed down from religious ceremony, has never been about just sex. It has been about family, having children, grandchildren, etc. Marriage has been under attack from the forces of evil all along. Society benefits from stable marriages from which healthy and stable children are most apt to emerge. It is tragic that sinfulness and adultery have caused so many marriages to end in divorce. Yet there is no better formula for the success of the family. Homosexuals, in an effort to get the rest of us to see them as "normal", are now in the business of "co-opting" marriage for their own purposes. Terrible!
Statistics show us that homosexual unions are far more unstable that herterosexual unions. There are much higher instances of abusive behavior, of drug and alcohol abuse, and the occurrence of STD's. Clinics in the major cities will point to the homosexual community as the primary source of STD problems and especially AIDS.
2) To thoroughly decriminalize homosexual behavior.
There are those who claim that society is wrong to legislate morality. Yet, we do legislate it. Otherwise murder would be legal (murders other than the organized murders of millions of babies in the womb, euphemism = abortion. We already have that, to our shame!) and society would suffer. Laws against sodomy are being removed from the books. For years, we had such laws in place, but looked the other way when they were violated. There was something of a general "don't ask, don't tell" attitude at work, in which only the most violent and troublesome offenders would be subjected to prosecution. Now that option is being taken away. Of course, laws against adultery are being wiped away, too. But then some laws that legislated against pedophiles are now being watered down as well. I wonder if people understand where all of this is going? The approval of adultery and fornication led to the approval of homosexuality now which leads to the approval of pedophilia in another generation or two, unless we work to stop the tide. Some of you may vehemently disagree, but I posted on this subject previously and presented evidences, among those evidences being the game plan for NAMBLA: "First get the homosexuals in the door and then, we follow!"
3) To force anyone who believes otherwise to, by law, act as if they are in agreement with the first two points.
The way in which the lawmakers in the camp of the homosexuals are writing legislation now, those of us who hold traditional views may find ourselves being told we must hire homosexuals even in our church and could find ourselves being linked to a hate crime simply by repeating the words of God Himself! Pandora's Box was opened the first time anyone wrote special protections into laws, made up racial quotas and began making up special events that were race or religion or sexual orientation-specific. There should never have been a Black History Month, but rather a balanced teaching of history that was entirely colorblind. And don't get me started on the Day of Silence! I just want you to imagine the outcry from the press and the loony left and the ACLU if schools organized a Day of Jesus, in which students proseletized all day carrying bibles and quoting verses and Passion of the Christ was shown and then, at day's end, they would all sit around singing hymns and planning how to further the cause of the Gospel???
4) To cause those who disagree to face financial and legal penalties for taking the other side.
Zombie Time has captured some of the more radical of the homosexual movement making themselves look nasty and ridiculous (while mostly concentrating on revealing the liberal idiocy of that odd creature, the San Francisco Moonbat), as they have been doing for decades. But lately that crowd has become more beligerent, to the point that they openly threaten heterosexuals and Christians with violence in front of the news media and generally avoid criticism from either that largely liberal group or pandering politicians. This radicalization of the homosexual movement has brought about an attitude of confrontation, seeking to find politicians who will pass laws to make it possible for them to force Bible believers to go to jail for their religious beliefs.
I believe that the radical element of homosexuals will not rest until they have succeeded in shuttering every church that teaches the Biblical view of homosexuality and cause every individual believer to be silenced or punished. I believe that these efforts are the epitome of evil.
CONCLUSION
As usual, the forces of evil array themselves against the forces for good. They will "wear sheep's clothing" if they must, pushing forward the tiny minority of homosexual couples who actually stay together in a monogamous relationship without beating each other, straying to other partners, passing STD's or sexually assaulting minors. They will try to hide their agenda in legislation that seems to be well-meaning but in actuality is an attack on the Constitution and our basic freedoms. Let us not forget that freedom of speech and freedom of religion were the impetus that drove so many pioneers from Europe and across the Atlantic to our strange shores in an attempt to build a better society.
But homosexuality will never be right! It will always be a sin, just as murder is and adultery is and theft is and lying and cheating and beating up your neighbor is a sin! There are many in this world who practice all of these things and yet we must not go so far as to accept these acts as normal.
Don't come at me with the "sexual orientation" pitch, either. I have no doubt that many, if not most, homosexuals desire to have sex with their own sex more than with the opposite sex and whether that was entirely by choice or at least in part from some other impetus is immaterial. You may claim to have been born with the desire to have sex with five-year-old girls, but we mustn't allow you to do it. You will have to sublimate your desires, fight them, point them in another direction instead of allowing you to have your way with kindergartners. Perhaps you say that sex with corpses turns you on, that doesn't mean we have to allow it. The first person might do well to marry a very petite and youthful spouse and the second, someone gaunt and cold....well, hey, that is better than the alternative.
In truth, there are organizations devoted to help re-orient homosexuals. I know a couple, now man and wife, who were both dedicated homosexuals, came to become Christians, and made up their minds to change. They worked at changing their minds and their habits, met at the classes, finally married. They've had children together, been successful in business and he has run for political offices and won. You would never know, to look at them, that they were once vastly different in sexual orientation and lifestyle.
I suppose the monogamous homosexual couple and the "changed" from homo to hetero couples are both exceptions to the rule. Most homosexuals struggle with the stigma and difficulties inherent in such a lifestyle and orientation. Once, society shunned and hated them. Now, society is trying to normalize them. Both are wrong. If we would take the Christian viewpoint, we would continue to value the homosexual as a person and seek to help him leave the homosexual lifestyle behind with counseling and fellowship and support rather than derision.
I am a Christian. I believe in absolutes. Homosexuality is wrong.
I am an American. I believe in the good of my country. Homosexuality is damaging to society.
I am a human. I believe humans have intrinsic value. Homosexuality needs to be seen as an aberrant act, but those who practice it as worthwhile human beings who are simply doing wrong rather than subhuman wretches who must be reviled and beaten and spat upon.
So I say to you who disagree with me, can you not see the end of the trail you wish us to follow? Every wrong turn has consequences. And, I say to those who revile homosexuality, remember that we were meant to hate the sin and not the sinner.
You may recall that in previous posts I have presented evidences and so this post is something of a summary of postings done over the last year's time. Disagree all you want, but if you disagree with the substance of what I say, come armed with evidence. Thanks to all!
Updates!!!!!!!
"(An aside: There are a lot of different sins at the bottom of the pyramid. But I've noticed a lot of Christians want to focus on the consensual-sex stuff to the exclusion of everything else. Does anyone have any idea what motivates them? It seems really creepy and voyeuristic to me.)"

"I think you're missing my point. I know that the Bible makes reference to sexual sins. It makes reference to a lot of different sins.
What I don't get is why some Christians seem to obsess on sexual sins in general, and homosexuality in particular. I just don't understand the fascination with it.
Is homosexuality more damaging to society than Sabbath-breaking or praying out loud on street corners?"
Answers: Christians "obsess" over the sins that certain groups try to promote. We wouldn't be focusing on abortion if so many people weren't so enthusiastic about killing babies. We wouldn't be focusing on homosexuality if there wasn't a push to change marriage and force us to hire known homosexuals in schools and force us to allow them as scouting leaders and so on. We push back when sinners push their sins in our faces.
