| from the Forward - "WHAT A DIFFERENT HISTORY WE MIGHT HAVE HAD IF 'MORALS' HAD BEEN EXCLUSIVELY CONCERNED WITH HOW HUMANE & TOLERANT A SOCIETY WAS, INSTEAD OF BEING OBSESSED WITH HOW WE HAVE AN ORGASM. The terms 'Right' and 'Wrong' and the concepts of 'Good' and 'Evil' have always been loaded with unspoken sexual relevance." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HOMOSEXUALITY IN HISTORY - by COLIN SPENCER |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "It would seem that the sheer mention of "homosexuality" induces panic, a rush to explain it all away by any means, however bizarre, instead of merely accepting it as but ONE ASPECT of our SEXUAL NATURE.." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "What Homosexuals have endured through the centuries is of such Monstrous Inhumanity & Injustice that it is difficult to accept that a mere sexual & emotional "preference" can rouse such Cruel Opposition. How many times must homosexuals have thought - 'But what harm did we do to anyone? How could such an act of impetuous pleasure (or DARE I SAY - Love) be this terrifying, demonic thing which endangers the Love of God & a civilized society?' What a tragedy it is, then, to see how Western views on this subject have poisoned much of the rest of the world and driven former colonies into homophobic legislation ... The world picture is | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

grim, and, because of it, one is more & more grateful for those recent laws across the world in more enlightened countries which have been against 'Social Discrimination' " | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This great book gives the History of Fundamentalism; how The Church of Love has become The Church of Law & how the Life of & Love shown by our Lord Jesus Christ became the Legalistic Church of Humankind's Twisted "Concept" of Jesus Christ - I highly recommend this book | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| STEALING JESUS - How Fundamentalism Betrays Christianity - by BRUCE BAWER | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In reference to Current Fundamentalism - "...a religion whose public faces today include those of Pat Robertson, Ralph Reed, James Dobson, & Jerry Falwell - is NOT a setting in which intelligent, serious people can expect to work out meaningful and responsible answers to Ultimate questions. NOR IS IT SOMETHING THAT THE EARLIEST FOLLOWERS OF | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| There are many quotable quotes from this book!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| JESUS CHRIST WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED AS CHRISTIANITY!!!!! I don't think it's an exaggeration, in fact, to suggest that if the FIRST CHRISTIANS were exposed to the rhetoric of Robertson, Reed, Dobson, Falwell, and company, THEY MIGHT WELL ASK IN ASTONISHMENT, "HOW DID THESE VICIOUS PEOPLE MANAGE TO STEAL THE NAME OF JESUS!?!?!?!?!?" " | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| In 1845 the Baptist Churches of the SOUTH withdrew from the American Baptists..."The Southern churches which supported their members' Right to OWN SLAVES, proceeded to form the Southern Baptist Convention ...the Southern Baptist Convention thrived as a Bulwark of Racism, an Opponent of Reconstruction & Evolution; &, in the mid-20th century, as a FOE of Integration, CIVIL RIGHTS, & secular culture ... FORMERLY DEVOTED ABOVE ALL TO THE GOSPEL, SOUTHERN BAPTIST PREACHERS (with some Honorable Exceptions) CAME TO BE KNOWN FOR THEIR DEVOTION TO HARSH OLD TESTAMENT LAW... SO IT WAS THAT A MOVEMENT ORIGINALLY FOUNDED TO ESTABLISH A CHURCH OF LOVE, DEVOLVED INTO AMERICA'S MOST POWERFUL CHURCH OF LAW" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| + If I may interject, is it any wonder that the church that FOUGHT TO KEEP SLAVERY & FOUGHT AGAINST INTEGRATION, & AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS STILL FIGHTS TODAY AGAINST EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS ... including COMMON AND EQUAL rights of Gay and Lesbian People + | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Anglican Theologian John E. Booty is referenced -" 'If Anglicanism has a positive attitude toward God,' who is seen as a Merciful Deity desiring 'the salvation of All People and of All Creation,' Fundamentalism focuses not on a God of Love, but on a God of Wrath and Judgment who will grant salvation to the few; if Anglicanism emphasizes 'the holy, the beautiful, the good and the true,' Fundamentalism is indifferent to beauty, places less value on goodness than on doctrinal correctness, & upholds the "true" not as something to be sought through honest inquiry but as something that, having already been definatively laid out by preachers & "reference Bibles," is to be mindlessly and uncritically embraced..." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
