MYTH:
Conservative Christianity does not hate homosexuals.
It does not regard them as unequal. It does not have a
problem with being born gay, or feeling homosexual. It
simply regards homosexual sex as sinful. In the same way it
might regard anything else as sinful without hating anyone
who might be included. The Bible says so.

TRUTH:
The notion that homosexual sex is a sin just makes us want to scream! Although we usually tread lightly on religious issues, we feel the impact of some of their messages as dangerous and enough to warrant this entry.
We put out the "far fetched" notion that the Bible, which was written hundreds of generations ago, has most likely been edited, added to, misconstrued and misinterpreted more often than the faithful would want to admit. We can't prove that this text wasn't originally made with Godly inspiration, however it has existed throughout the ages on this Earth, with human guardians. People who are capable of corruption, who have their own agendas of their time (the straight, white, male agenda?). The influence of which has alluded to sexism, gender bias, the inferiority of coloured people, and even left handers. To ignore the fallibility of the Bible is truly a defining moment of blind faith.
If the Chinese to English translation of our computer screen instruction manuals are at times humorously inaccurate, how can we not say the Bible isn't a vastly fallible piece of work based on its many translations throughout the ages?
If the Bible didn't exist, there would be no moral, scientific or social reason why the homosexual orientation would be wrong. Nature has proven many times that it is just as normal as left handedness. To the enlightened and correctly educated, the notion that homosexuality is immoral wouldn't be thought of.
You can't compare being gay to prostitution, murder, or taking drugs. Homosexuality is just a normal part of the spectrum of sexual orientations. This, of course, is regardless of the sexual act. Straight people engage in anal sex more often than lesbians. So let us move on from that.
To those who wish to hide behind the veil of of hating "sin not the sinner", we'd like to put forward one silly possibility. That those who believe this may need to consider the reality that some parts of Christianity is based on motives that are less than holy. Including the gay lie.

you know I believe the Bible has a good intention behind it. But I also believe that there is a lot of bad stuff there too. We need a new bible I think!
