the homophobic religions. Isn't that what we're all doing here? Isn't that what I'm doing? Theists spouting homophobic religious beliefs or promoting religions are homophobia are on the wrong side of this aspect of the culture war between religion and humanism.
I see people are making their own choices to have Faith in God, or not to have Faith in God.
Those that choose a Faith, will then have the choice to abide by the given laws, in full knowledge that it is not predudices behind those laws. Those laws are given as the basic fundamental requirements for a strong foundation required for a progressive family and community life.
Baha'u'llah offered.
"..Think not that We have revealed unto you a mere code of laws. Nay, rather, We have unsealed the choice Wine with the fingers of might and power. To this beareth witness that which the Pen of Revelation hath revealed. Meditate upon this, O men of insight!.."
So, this is not so easy to discuss in this age, as for the last 70 or so years, this time has seen a significant shift away from God given advice. I see that is more the issue.
I was born in an age that makes these laws much easier to accept, I now also see the wisdom in those laws, and the problems society faces now those laws are neglected.
I see as the future unfolds, there will be more study into all this, in the end I see it will be determined that bringing up a child with its mother and father, in a stable loving relationship, will lesson the complexity we have created with all the other alternatives. I see those alternatives has created many psychological issues.
Mostly we just have to agree to disagree and abide by the laws of the Land.
