"For the Bible tells me so" (VERY interesting videos)

[Mutty]

Watch it (not for kids and it is sensitive) because it is DEEPLY interesting. The topic is about homosexuality and Christian (influenced beliefs) opposition.

Just got through the first one so far mutty,absobloody lutely amazing !....the lengths christians will go to to justify their prejudice,"it says so in the bible",.that makes it right,whatever the actrocity,the intolerance,or the prejudice.

If "god" thinks it "an abomination" why the hell did he create homosexuals.

As one person points out,the bible has been used to justify just about every injustice carried out on a set of people,from slavery to apartheid.

This from wikipedia.....

<span style="font-weight: bold">Although slavery is now universally condemned as a crime against humanity, it was customary in antiquity, and taken for granted as part of the economy and society of the time.[3] The Bible does not regard it as an abomination, and regulates its practice,[4] and occasionally compels the enslavement of others</span>

Yes, these are a fantastic series of videos. If [some] religious folks (and those influenced by religion) can lay their prejudices aside and watch them, they just might see how off base they are.

I think you are more likely to see a pig fly than see religious folks lay their prejudices aside,.....it says so in the bible remember,if the bible is prejudice then they are going to hold onto their prejudices no matter how wrong it is.

I know it is a tall order, Natral. It was for me, but just some SIMPLE thinking that is not filtered through some antiquated, ethnocentric, patriarchal book with a bit of honesty opened my eyes to common sense.

These videos were really excellent. I thought it was remarkable how the religious parents all got over their hostility for homosexuals after their children came out... they could not stop loving their kids, and that love woke them up to how misguided they had been.
