For the Bible Tells Me So

I went to see the film For the Bible Tells Me So to fulfill an extra credit opportunity for my human sexuality class. I definitely recommend it. This documentary is shown in select areas around the nation right now.

The topic: Gays and the Church. The main message I perceived was that fundamentalist teachings lead to intolerance and in this case hatred, which isn't "Christian" at all. CONTEXT is important! I don't completely agree with everything said in the movie, but the message is right on and one that should be heard.

My favorite quote was from the older couple who supported openly-gay Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson who said they'd leave the judging up to God. So simple. So true.

The message also applies to the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. protesting at funerals, teaching their children "God hates fags," and having tons of kids to pass on these warped views of hatred.

Did anyone see on 20/20? Those kids couldn't even tell John Stossel what a "fag" was.

Peace out.
