“Insofar as I am aware in proper usage the word faggot means either a bundle of sticks tied together...”
Could its usage come then from the comparison of Sodomites to a bundle of sticks which are used to stoke the fires of hell? Such is admittedly quite a negative connotation, but as the Church has taught for centuries, Sodomy is one of the four sins which cry out to God for vengeance!
As such the committers of such sin are polluting society and do so historically with vile hatred of God and man while forcing the lifestyle on others.
In fact the abuse of one’s body in homosexual acts is possibly the most vile hate speech on earth as one perverts the intentions which God their maker placed in their very own body. It is hate for and rejection of the (Holy) Creator to do the very opposite of the intended design of the (Holy) Creator.
It is thus merciful to frighten the partakers in Sodomy by reminding them of the future that lies in store for unrepentant sinners: the flames of hell for ETERNITY.
I don’t support faggotry but I do support good writing. That was my problem with that piece. The way it was written was repellent.
