A Challenge to Christians re: Rev. Worley's "Final Solution" for Lesbians and Gays by RevOxleyin Christianity

[–]RevOxley[S] 1 point2 points ago

Perhaps someone else can help me out...but I am absolutely oblivious to any point in which I've threatened anyone at all, most especially you, and I've done the opposite of shout.

Please, can the rest of you help me out? Am I completely delusional?

Is it because I think that this man should be removed from his position by those that put him there? I can't apologize for that, that's the whole point - let the good speak louder than the bad, replace them...

again, what threats and what abuse have I made?

I'm not sure I've been offensive...

I'll give him credit in that he is quite refreshing, though I have to agree that The Reason for God didn't appeal to intellectuals at all...not even a little.

I threatened you with bad things? You are confusing me with YHVH.

Trust me when I say that I work with the good guys as much as I can.

Keller I happen to like and respect, though I don't think his arguments in "The Reason for God" held much water...

I think removing him from the position he holds is certainly a prudent thing to do, as the damage he could potentially cause is insurmoundable.

I think that you might find more happiness in standing for what is right - completely devoid of shouting and calling names.

Adjectives, when accurate, are fine though. ;)

awesome to know, I missed that. I'm probably late to this party anyway as it just made it's way around to me by a number of my gay friends whom were quite scared and hurt by this message.

great idea! I think I've seen it already though...

Unfortunately I have to admit a certain bias. You see, I was born and raised in the deep South, and I still live here. I'm surrounded by good Christian people that spread hate and vitriol as easily as they spread peanut butter - here, at the very least, the status quo of the loudest Christians is anger, bitterness, and homophobia - I repeatedly mentioned that I knew this wasn't the majority opinion and stance and I promote that understanding in my daily life and in my writing. Though it is not the majority opinion it is the loudest and easiest to find opinion - and most Christians in my area are scared to stand against it. My biases are entirely a result of my life experiences in the Deep South as both a Christian, a minister, and as an apostate.

Because the goodness of what they say doesn't need my backing, it isn't dangerous to people. If you've got an abundance of pastors like that (and I know a number of them) then I'm incredibly glad for you and for the Church as a whole - in the mean time I'd like to talk about this idiot over here that's tarnishing that good name.

I want you to get angry and to have the SBC remove this man's credentials as well as decommission his church...I want you to challenge those that make your group of people look foolish and bigoted or I want you not to be upset when gross generalizations become the norm. I'm not the one making those generalizations however, you weren't listening.

If You've already taken the time to correct this man, please accept my gratitude...

agreed, but patriotic references make my skin crawl when others do it...so I refrain.

Thanks, and I've been shouting that from the rooftops since before I left the faith.
