[CS-FSLUG] God Didn't Say That

[K Montgomery]

That is quite interesting.  It goes to show that a person trying to 
defend homosexual practice/lifestyle is consigned to use broad, 
ill-defined brush strokes to paint his argument in order to evoke 
sympathy.  (Using logic like, "Jesus preached that we should love one 
another -- therefore we should love homosexuals (i.e., condone 
homosexual behavior).")  When you analyze the facts -- particularly the 
health statistics related to male homosexuality -- at the very least 
you have to determine that homosexuality is not good.

But unfortunately, Christians and non-Christians alike continue to miss 
the "big picture" by willfully isolating homosexuality as an issue.  
Christians do it to point a finger (or maybe just because they don't 
know better).  Non-Christians do it to evade the real issue: Jesus 
Christ.
