God’s Plan
Jay McCarthy links to Michael Williams who writes about homosexuality and Christianity:
From verse 29 and on we see that all mankind is filled with evil: envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, gossip, slander, hatred for God, insolence, arrogance, boastfulness — who among us is innocent? None. We all stand condemned, before a holy and righteous God.
Why, then, do many Christians see homosexuality and homosexuals as particularly evil? Theologically, we shouldn’t. The real difficulty, however, is that although most of us acknowledge the wrongfulness of our many lies, thefts, and boasts, many people deny the wrongness of homosexuality. Our culture glorifies many types of evil, but individually we mostly agree that greed, slander, gossip, and the rest are bad and that we should not participate in them. However, when it comes to homosexuality, many people argue that it’s not wrong at all; and unless we are willing to confess the evil of our actions, God will not forgive us. We must be willing to submit ourselves to God’s dictates on right and wrong, and we must be willing to agree with him when he condemns our actions
.
Christianity and most other religions find homosexuality especially evil because homosexual sex doesn’t increase the number of believers. Religion survives because little children are brainwashed from the time they are little babies. People who are brought up in secular homes tend to see religion as ridiculous. Most children, however, don’t question the beliefs of their parents or the people that their parents teach them to respect.
Homosexuals are useless in “God’s plan” to convert the entire world to one particular belief system.
Heterosexuals can consider themselves to be morally and spiritually superior to homosexuals and everybody else and the church gets more members. There’s something in it for everybody, except the homosexuals and they don’t count anyway.
