Comments on: Ted Haggard Now “Completely Heterosexual” http://www.queervoice.net/kmcmullen/2007/02/06/ted-haggard-now-completely-heterosexual/ Suburban Mom-Employed-Outside-the-Home Gone Bad Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:00:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: anjo http://www.queervoice.net/kmcmullen/2007/02/06/ted-haggard-now-completely-heterosexual/#comment-88132 anjo Fri, 02 Mar 2007 12:24:16 +0000 http://www.queervoice.net/kmcmullen/2007/02/06/ted-haggard-now-completely-heterosexual/#comment-88132 regarding: " why are christians so obsessed with sex, gender and genitals.. it seems that blaming gays and lesbians is like almost a passtime and obsession for many christians. Don’t they every worry about the real problems of the world, like hunger, poverty, war, disease , famine? " o.k. i should further elaborate : The bible is replete with admonishment about the sins of heterosexual..in fact in old testamental times fornication and adultery was punishable by death…maybe we should reinstitute the death penalty for straight adulterers and fornicators — hmmm stoning seems like an exciting sport - just ask the muslims where stoning of adulterers is still a rather exciting public entertainment ( i think i’m gonna throw up ). christians used to demonize jews for centuries as jesus-killers and this embolden many ordinary germans to persecute jews leading to the holocaust. Similarly centuries of demonizing and denigration of gays and lesbians and sexual minorities have embolden otherwise morally bankrupt heterosexuals to discriminate and do violence to sexual minorities. This has got to stop. Christians are deluding themselves, if they really want to obey Christ then love God with all yr heart and immediately love your neighbour as yourself ..be they gay or straight. If you cannot practise this most important of all the commandments then you have no business declaring yourself a christian irregardless of how big your church or your choir or your coffer may be ! Oh..by the way Jesus said to the rich man..give up all your worldly goods and follow me! Did i hear any ‘christians’ dare to say AMEN LOL LOL LOL Mikhail - a child of the intelligent Universe regarding:

I understand your anger completely. Please know that there are plenty of Christians out here -- quite a few at this very blog -- who share your passion and want to bring our faith back to what we believe it was always supposed to be, love of God and neighbor.

Dont they know there are millions of children going to bed hungry everynight, millions dying from hunger and poverty , there is war and famine, environmental disaster in the making, overpopulation, new diseases and catastrophe threatening humanity and all they worry about is whether one is straight or gay or bi? Are this people for real . They cannot even practise the most important commandment of Jesus which is to love GOd with all your heart and immediately to love your neighbour ( irregardless of their sexuality)as Yourself. It seems that Evangelicals and their ilk are mere show-business 'christians' whose core concept of morality seems to center around sex,gender and genitals LOL. To them is suppose it is preferable to be a heterosexual drug dealer than to be a homosexual philanthropist.....such is their twisted sense of morality.
