"Therefore?"
I know from my studies of the Civil Rights movement that a negative disposition towards the LGBTQ community from Christians will likely play a role in driving people away from the religion, whether Christianity is deserving of it or not. It is simple stereotyping, Jay, people will judge the religion based on the loudest image of it.
The world is growing to be more accepting of homosexuals, and I would like to think they are also growing more intolerant of prejudice and bigotry, if any of that is true it could very well have a negative impact on Christianity if the religion can't acclimate quickly enough to these changes. However it is somewhat true, that homosexuality does seem to be playing a part in ending "traditional" Christian views, one way or another.
The truth is that the LGBTQ community won the war against the bigotry in the Christian community a long time ago. It was merely a boulder we had to get rolling and now that is moving it cannot be stopped, my questions is: Can Christians get out of the way of that boulder, or will they get steam rolled? You say "obliviously", but I don't share your confidence, as such social changes take a long time to reach their end and there simply is not enough reliable date to make a dependable prediction of where this is going. I do know one thing, the world is changing and things that can't keep up tend to get left behind.
Including LGBT Christians working from within the religion.[/QUO
It's not the world that is changing, It's the democratic party, The democratic party is a swing party, The democratic party will swing in which way to get the most votes, if it's the LGBT, The democratic party will swing that way if it's Atheists, democratic party will swing that way, If it's the Christians the democratic party will swing that way.
What this means is, That the democratic party has no set course in which to go nor have any agenda to which they themselves will stand on, it all depends on which the wind blows or where's the votes are.this is the democratic party.
Look Hillary Clinton when campaiging, she went right to the big cities, where in are LGBT and Atheists live the most. That's how democrates think. See that work in the pass elections, but it didn't work this time.
All because even the LGBT and Atheists are not willing to work to pay out their Tax dollars to Illegal immigrants nor to Muslims, while LGBT and Atheists can not get a dam thing from the democratic party that they supported. While all these others come here and get whatever they ask for.
Look at the black communitys, the democratic party helps out those Illegal immigrants and Muslims, while they sit in Proverty.Is it any wonder why blacks didn't come out in the support of Hillary, even though Obama was out campaiging hard for her?
Because the black communitys had enough of Obama's agenda and black communitys did not want another 4 years of Obama's agenda no more.
The democratic is like, having a nice fruit but once you bite into it, Oh there's a worm in it.
You didn't see it, until it's to late you already took it to be nice, then the worm appeared.to late sucker you been had.
The LGBT and Atheists thought Hillary was the greatest thing ever to come and the democratic party,
All the democratic party wants is to be your dictatorship Government.
You don't tell the democratic party what you want or how you want to live your life.
The democratic well tell you what's up and how you live your life according on what they say and not what you say or want.
