We find out that Catwoman is bisexual, the Green Lantern, Loki, Iceman, and many more are gay. Now, Wonder Woman is officiating a same-sex wedding. It seems that DC Comics and Marvel are bending over backward to push homosexuality. And who are they pushing homosexuality to? Your children. Parents, it’s time to parent.

Well, one must admit if you want an inclusive society without discrimination, it is to the children you must go. Whether it is of race, creed, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
After all, religion is not silent about its own brand of Absolute Certainty; and intolerance I hasten to add, about other churches and religions and constantly indoctrinate religious culture to the children from birth, by baptism, circumcision, first communion, confirmation, stage plays, marriage itself. Religions operate through Daycare Centers and Sunday School programs and even radical Islam teach children through the use of cartoons that Jews are pigs.
I believe that inclusion and tolerance is better than exclusion and intolerance; don’t you agree?
Racial discrimination itself is passed on to the next generation by parenting so parenting is not necessarily the answer to fix the world since the parents themselves are remnants of previous generational indoctrinations.
I remind everyone that religion is the culprit behind most of the world’s hatred, discrimination; and intolerance, is not the least example of how religion stands at the cusp of the current homosexuality controversy. Indeed ancient religious intolerance used God as the scapegoat to justify human intolerance against infidels behaving contrary to the Absolute Certainty of the culture/religion one was born into, like India, the world is one Giant Caste System.
You have some do-ing to un-do religion’s do-ing especially as it continually recruits proselytes to perpetuate ancient dogmatic hoaxes.

Vester Flanagan; AKA, Bryce Williams, is a perfect example of what bullying and intolerance and degradation can do to a person. Flanagan being a black, gay person has had a double barrel shotgun aimed at his psyche, his personhood, and has suffered racial discrimination and sexual orientation discrimination all his life.
And this intolerance by the self righteousness in our society who believe that their disrespect and discrimination is just and proper set up a powder keg that blew up and yesterday two good, decent people suffered the consequences of that discrimination, bullying and intolerance as it manifested in an explosion of shooting and killing by gun violence.
Do the self righteous who advocate this intolerance and discrimination against the LGBT community accept any responsibility for consequences that play out throughout the country, the world? I think not.
Think about it. If you believe that discrimination and intolerance does not cause spin off problems you are delusional. Well-meaning people casting aspersions on other people’s humanity do not create a positive world regardless of one’s theo-sophical intent.

Yes he speaks to the fact that discrimination and abuse are intolerances that must be rejected and not the gay people themselves. Which is absolutely true and it was wonderful to hear….yet, doggedly did he preach about the church dogma of “god’s word” that says homosexuality is wrong and that Christians need to point out the truth of textual scripture as Jesus did.
Do you remember this wise scripture from John;
John 21:25 “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.”
Imagine how many other acts and words Jesus did or said that were inconsistent with church dogma that have been excised! It seems to me that there is a lot more to Jesus about how he thought, what he did and what he said then we read in the few pages in today’s version of bibles.
The fact is however that the sin of homosexuality from the Old Testament is cultural, the word of men that pastors, using the scapegod to affirm cultural bias is where countless Christian men and women go “postal” with what has been included in the bible by dogmatic righteous revisionists but who do not and cannot remain open to the possibility of what their peers in previous generations may have deleted with respect to any reference by Jesus to homosexuality if it did not conform to the cultural norm of the ancients. And this would be especially probable if Jesus had said, for example, something like a commentary on the Sanctity of Life: “You have heard it said of old ‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.’ Leviticus 20:13. But I say to you that causing the death of another person without mercy is the curse of a generation using God as the scapegoat for unforgiveness and is more repugnant than any sin you claim to be God’s own curse upon sinners too evil to live among the righteousness of religion’s Absolute Certainty.
BUT Jesus did speak to homosexuality but is usually skipped over by Christian Pastors and lay people alike. A eunuch could be someone who performed work typical of eunuchs, although he remained perfectly capable of having sex. The purpose of intentional castration was to induce impotence and remove sexuality. It was a common practice in ancient times for rulers to castrate some of their servants and/or advisers in order to subdue and pacify them. It was especially common to castrate men or use homosexual men who tended the royal harem. Queen Esther’s eunuch is mentioned in Esther: Hatach (Hathak, Hathach, Easton’s bible dictionary) Verity, one of the eunuchs or chamberlains in the palace of Ahasuerus (Esther 4:5, 6, 9, 10).
In Matthew 19:12, Jesus mentions eunuchs in the context of marriage but more than that, note that Jesus does not condemn eunuchs or their roles any more than he condemned the prostitutes or any more than he condemned society’s perceived sins of sexuality. He says, “There are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
Jesus identifies three types of “eunuchs” here: natural eunuchs (“born that way”), forced eunuchs (“made eunuchs by others”), and voluntary eunuchs (“those who choose” as in vows of celibacy). But a vow of celibacy not to have sex with members of the opposite sex is an easy vow to make for the same-sex community.
Natural eunuchs include those who are born with a physical defect, but they also comprise those who are born with no real desire for marriage or sex (with members of the opposite sex). Now just imagine for a moment there were other references made by Jesus regarding homosexuality that would have appeared contrary to church teachings (the Old Testament cultural chisel, as it were, as many other writings have disappeared out of rejection because they were as inconsistent with traditional church dogma); then, how would you know? And if pastors only repeat what has been saved textually? Well that’s why religious revisionists edit, revise, include or exclude texts, so future conformity is more sufficiently assured in the masses who are naturally prone to let others dictate what common sense denies, too many times.
And so we are left to conclude that not everything has been bequeathed truthfully to posterity. And the Bible had no immunity against that.
