Making Gay People Straight Christians
AMONG THE MANY manifestations of insanity inherent in the Christian religion is the notion that to be homosexual is sinful, will result in consignment to eternal damnation in hell,( an imaginary place created not by any anthropomorphic deity living in the sky, but by the human imagination), and that a homosexual person can be converted to heterosexuality by a process called "conversion therapy". Conversion therapy harms people severely, as is well documented. This is because it is predicated on the insanity that it is wrong, and "unnatural" to be gay, and that being gay is what happens to people who are raised wrong, do not accept Christ, and is the result of poor environmental circumstances rather than genetic predisposition.. In fact, there exists, and has been isolated, a gene for homosexuality, so, so much for the Christian notion of a person being bad, and thus being gay. As late as the nineteen sixties it was illegal to be homosexual in America, and still is in many countries Little wonder that gay folks have only recently begun to "come out of the closet", and live openly gay lifestyles. The proscription against homosexuality is ancient, and is probably to a certain extent hard wired into the human psyche, having originated in ancient times when most people were aware only of their immediate tribal group, fearful of their groups survival chances, and greatly inclined to disparage any member who failed to produce offspring to contribute to the tribe's survival chances. the bible explicitly condemns homosexuality, for example. In the mofern world we are not only acutely aware that all threats to human survival have nothing to do with any possibility that the human species will fail to reproduce in sufficient numbers, but quite the opposite; many of the current threats to the likelihood of humankind continuing are related to the fact that the human planetary population is actually far too great, growing far too rapidly, and seems destined to reach unsustainable numbers, if it already hasn't. No society on record has ever explicitly approved of homosexuality, which also probably has something to do with the fact that an overwhelmingly majority of people are heterosexual, for obvious reasons, and always have been. for the standpoint of human survival, the species may well have reached the point wherein homosexuality should not only be tolerated, and indeed accepted, but actually encouraged, for teh sake of human survival.
