HOMOSEXUALITY # 1: What We Owe To Homosexuals

On my nightly Eagle and Child radio show last week, I did three shows about the seven modern PC myths concerning homosexuality, how they are not supported by the evidence, and the fact that Jesus did speak out very clearly against homosexual acts--contradicting the activist homosexual community’s claims that are repeated ad nauseum

I believe the things we discussed concerning homosexuality are important enough that I am going to repeat what I said on my show in nine separate blogs entries I will be doing in the coming days.

First, it is important to stress that nothing I say in these nine blog entries means that those who engage in homosexual behavior are any worse (morally or psychologically) than any of the rest of us who--as a result of the fall—suffer various propensities to engage in evil behaviors including arrogance, argumentativeness, unkindness, meanness, selfishness, etc. Rather, homosexuals are creatures made in the image of God, and therefore have infinite worth and are to be treated with the same respect, kindness, and love as are all human beings. Furthermore, homosexuals certainly have the same civil rights as do the rest of us under the constitution, and any failure to respect those rights should be condemned and constrained under the law.

It not only is evil to physically abuse a homosexual because of his sexual orientation, but under the higher law of God’s love, it is evil to treat a homosexual unkindly, or even without love and compassion.

But does love preclude examining evidence, engaging in a logical analysis that evidence, discussing the moral and emotional health of a behavior or condition, and publicly weighing and debating the truth of an idea or assertion? In an age of PC, many answer yes. But I believe man is nothing if not a reasoning being. In fact, man’s greatest tools in the struggle to survive are our capacities to use logic and our parallel ability to observe the world and understand how it functions, i.e. to understand reality. We, as individuals and as communities, increase our likelihood of surviving and prospering when we align our behavior with the truths of nature; and we individually and collectively decrease our likelihood of prospering, or even surviving, if we make decisions that oppose the realities, the truths, of our world.

Not only is it NOT an attack on any person or group to engage in a vigorous debate of any truth assertion—about ANY TOPIC, but it is a threat to us as a species to decide that love means there are things we cannot discuss and debate. To set certain ideas as being immune from examination for their truthfulness is a threat because it is the battle in the marketplace of ideas that threshes out the truth, separating it from falsehoods that set us against reality. If we accept without examination ideas that contradict reality, the real universe will always ultimately rise up and smite us!

So, I love homosexuals, and I defend their rights. And I argue that homosexuality is not healthy, that it hurts those who engage in it, that it is not genetically based, that it is treatable (often easily so), and that homosexual activism is doing great harm to tens—if not hundreds—of thousands and to our society as a whole. I argue these things not in contradiction to, nor in spite of, my love for homosexuals, but rather because of my love for them including several dear friends that I have lost to death because of their having adopted the homosexual life style.

Thus, I will be covering these topics in my next eight blog entries on homosexuality:

2-Obama On Homosexuality

3-PC Myth 1—Homosexuals Are Happy; Homosexuality Is Healthy

4 PC Myth 2--Homosexuality Is Normal

5 PC Myth 3--Homosexuality Is Genetically Based

6- PC Myth 4--Homosexuality Is Not Treatable

7- PC Myth 5—Jesus Never Spoke About Homosexualty

8- PC Myth 6--The Logical Fallacy Re "Homophobia"

9- PC Myth 7—Gay Activism Is Desirable And Needed In Our Society

Stay tuned. And let me hear from you by making an entry or by writing me at don@eagleandchild.us or don@flipsideshow.com .
