Religion and Homosexuality

On Amazon.com I found an exciting new novel.  G. Roger Denson's VOICE OF FORCE.  In essence it asks some simple questions: Has increased awareness of sexuality and difference truly helped us live more harmonious lives?  Or has it merely compelled people to mask the prejudice they inherit from traditions and institutions beneath a civilized veneer?  And what if one of those institutions is a person’s religion?

He who formerly persecuted Christians ... Read Full Story

A lesbian over on BlogCatalog started a discussion entitled, "Gays & Lesbians of Faith," as a device for attracting homosexuals of all "faiths" to participate in a documentary film she's planned. It garnered some questions about homosexuality in general. I left a second comment there that follows and that is self-explanatory for the most part. Here's the link to that comment so you may read it all in context. Hello All, jeremyjanson, In my book, "the way" is the way of life both here and now and hereafter. The means and the ends are one. Also in my book, it is the most pragmatic ... Read Full Story

Elder Ronald Earl Kimbrew is taking holiness out of COGIC. Although, ministers of all titles have always been is their secret closets of homosexuality, this so-called man of God is boldly turning the Church of God in Christ into a homosexual empire. Note: You can also read more about this on this blog: http://gcmwatch.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/yahoo-gay-ministers-group-founded-by-cogic-elder/ .
