Homosexuality Part 2

No I still don't struggle with it. But I just read an article about, essentially, how we need to fight the passing of the legalization of same sex marriage. Christians are all up in arms about how homosexual marriage is tearing this nation apart and how the definition of marriage is being destroyed. Since the article was published in a magazine entitled "Christian Citizenship", essentially the author of the article succeeded in convincing an audience that his point was a valid one who already agreed with him in the first place . Nice work! The title "Christian Citizenship" bugs me for some reason. But the point of the article was, it would seem, to convince us that homosexuality is a sin and we need to fight the legalization of homosexual marriage.

Now I agree 100% that God is not for same sex marriage or same sex sexually active relationships. I also believe that there will be punishment (in this life or the life to come) for those who embrace and practice the homosexual lifestyle who do not seek out the forgiveness that is found in Jesus Christ.

A side note: There is a difference between people who struggle with homosexuality and people who actively pursue this lifestyle.

But my question is if we actually succeed in keeping the homosexual marriage thing from being legalized will that simply be a band aid on a gushing wound? Do you think someone cares about what God's thoughts are on homosexuality who doesn't even know who God is? From the world's perspective I would say that Christians seem like heartless pricks who just want to keep the homosexual brother down and oppressed.

With all the energy we put into protesting and fighting the homosexual movement its not a surprise that when it comes time to show love and minister through action to those around us who are hurting and have no hope we simply don't have the energy or the desire. Because once you decide who the enemy is (in this case the homosexual community and liberals) then how can you possibly love them? What would it matter anyway? You just got done shouting at them and telling them that they are going to burn in hell....by the way let me rake your lawn.
