[The course, which will launch in the fall of 2018 through Swarthmore’s religion department, will examine the Bible through a queer lens. ]
I recommend they start with Genesis 19 and Romans 1. And pretty much stop there.
2 Timothy 4:3 King James Version
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
What kind of stupid nonsense is this?
Hey - let’s revisit Mesopotamian civilization through the eyes of transgendered men who’ve reverted.
Why sort of things can we learn about how their civilization would impact our philosophy.
Or wait - let’s look at the women’s suffrage movement and examine if transgendered women have the same issues.
Baloney.
It would appear that this course is designed to twist and justify Scripture to say that male and female really don’t mean what they mean. Next they will distort the Bible by saying that it doesn’t speak against the practice of homosexuality, and that basically you can do whatever you want.
May the full wrath of the holy God be upon them if in fact they follow this path. They will lead many right into the fires of Hell.
Whatever happened to courses in Logic, Ethics, Rhetoric, Literature, History?
Good grief!!
I want to see them introduce a “Queering the Koran” course.
Are we still vilified if we refer to them as “Queers”? I can’t keep it all straight (no pun intended)
According to a report from The College Fix, “Queering the Bible” is the only religious course at Swarthmore that centers on the Bible.
Coming soon: "Queering The Koran". Right.
Yet another demonstration of the value of higher education.
We need to introduce a new course called "Beating the F*** out of obnoxious @$$holes who want to mock our religion."
Mess with the words of the Almighty and suffer the consequences.
2. Coat of Many Colors? You guessed it, Joseph was a cross-dresser.
3. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego? Yep, they were flamers.
4. Jesus's words to Mary Magdalene to "go and sin no more", really just meant don't overcharge your customers.
5. Paul? Really, do we need to say that he was so totally in denial.
When will prestigious Swarthmore College introduce a course called “Queering the koran”?
cute
Someone needs to point out that if they’re going to teach about sex, that they are doing it wrong.
Bookmarking.
Let me note for the 20th time that queers have done more to attack and damage Christianity on the domestic front than the Muslims ever dreamed. And yet, normal people use homosexual jargon referring to them as gay.
I’m waiting to sign up for Queering the Koran.
Kind of funny since the Bible is set up to be viewed through a human lens....
I guess the good news is they want to find a way for them to view the Bible....
I remember stuff like this back in the 1970s (in NYC).
Let's see how brave they really are. Queering the Quran.
