People like you and I are born and wake up one day thinking we understand everything. We measure everything from our own short little lives. These concepts of generations and millennium do not register with us because we have never lived through one.
We think we know everything we need to know as a consequence of our short little existences and our teeny tiny repertoire of experience.
So is the bible wrong? Is the sum knowledge of thousands of years and countless generations incorrect?
I think it's a bit arrogant to dismiss it out of hand.
If the bible says homosexuals tend to become violent rapists when they exist in large numbers, i'm going to consider the possibility. I'm not going to say, "My few decades of life on this planet informs me sufficiently to dismiss what these ancient writings say."
I'm not going to say that we should fully embrace the bible directive on this matter, but I do believe we should recall the history recounted in the bible with an eye to watching for it.
And what i've been seeing lately with the original Nazis being mostly homosexual, the spies and traitors of our nation and Britain being homosexual, the spread of AIDS, the incidence of homosexuals being serial killers, the incidence of homosexuals molesting children, such as the Catholic priest scandals, and nowadays the gay mafia trying to punish people for not embracing them, tends to make me believe perhaps the bible knows whereof it speaks.
Perhaps society will continue with no further bad things happening as a consequence of homosexuals growing their percentage of society, but on the other hand, perhaps we will look back at some future date and think to ourselves "We should have wiped them out when we had the chance."
Interesting connection: Nazis=Homosexuals, serial killers=Homosexuals, traitors=Homosexuals, spread of AIDS=Homosexuals, child molestation=Homosexuals. And then end with: “We should have wiped them out...”)
The thought pattern is obvious, and my father would completely agree with you. Fred Phelps would also.
