Loving Homosexuals to Death
I am honored to have my commentaries carried by several different websites. I’ll be surprised if this one makes it on most. Unfortunately, many people today love homosexuality more than they do children.
Fighting the wrong battle seems to be a way of life with “conservatives.” As the old saying goes, “He who frames the argument wins the debate.”
Nowhere is that more apparent than with the issue of homosexuality. As is so common with most of the cultural issues, we continually find ourselves on the defensive when standing for Christian moral values. Our opponents have been fabulous at boxing us in.
The argument for abortion has swung on the fulcrum of “choice.” Those who are in favor of the slaughter of little innocent babies have turned the attention of the debate away from whether or not abortion is the taking of a human life to the issue of whether or not a woman has a right to make that choice. On its face the debate is ludicrous.
But the debate is not about the child, it is about a woman’s choice.
You’d have to be stupid to be against choice. Even I want choice. I want a choice in who I marry, where I work, what cell phone service I use, what clothes I wear, and where I live. But the debate shouldn’t be about choice--they have just convinced us it is. If you ask the average American if he/she thinks that a person has a right to kill another human being, the answer will be no. If you ask if a woman has a right to choose an abortion, the numbers change. Why? Because the issue is no longer about the life of a child, it is about “choice.” Rarely do we extrapolate what that “choice” actually means.
But those same folks who promote “choice” are not for “school-choice.” When talking about schools the focus moves from the grown-ups to the kids. When it comes to schools and what is best for their kids, parents have no choice. When it comes to the life of the unborn, the child has no choice. Let’s see, parents choosing schools for born kids, bad….parents choosing death for unborn kids, good. Even their words are deceptive. Pro-life is a clear position. So is pro-abortion. Pro-choice is ambiguous. Pro-choice means “A baby should have a right to live but a woman should have a right to kill it.” Sort of like a Pilate’s-basin of unaccountability.
Homosexuality is being framed as well.. We are told it is a Constitutional issue, that it is a moral issue, that it is a civil rights issue. If one speaks out against homosexuality one is considered a bigot, hate-monger, discriminatory and un-Christ-like.
“We have our rights,” the homosexuals declare.
“That’s right.” say many of our leaders. “No one has the right to discriminate against another person. The Constitution protects the rights of everyone. Jesus was for equality, and so are we! We agree with God.”
To quote Ronald Reagan, “Well, there you go again.”
It is important to understand that if we continue to call homosexuality a civil-rights issue we will never fight our way out of the box that they have locked us in. Homosexuality is not a civil rights issue. It is a health issue. If we fail to recognize this most important premise the battle over homosexuality will meander down the path of abortion. Please understand both homosexuality and abortions bring death.
I am always amazed at the fervency with which the morally-confused Humanists attack smoking. Don’t smoke when you are pregnant, don’t smoke around young children, don’t smoke in commercials, and don’t smoke in public--as if tobacco was the nexus of all physical illness. “Smoking kills people, smoking causes cancer, second-hand smoke is making our children sick.” They have successfully made cigarette smoking abnormal, even though it is far more common than homosexuality.
Fat kids are next. They have already begun the war on trans-fats, doing their best to eliminate any foods that taste good because of the health risks. It is about the kids, you know. We wouldn’t want them to do anything that might be harmful to themselves.
It would seem to me that smoking and eating fatty foods falls into the “pursuit of happiness” argument. Isn’t being fat a civil right? Aren’t some kids born that way? Don’t some fat kids get bullied? Aren’t fat people discriminated against? Who are we to say that fat people should change? Shouldn’t we have Fat Pride parades?
“You’re talking stupid, Coach,” you’re probably thinking. Am I?
Here is some info to ponder about the “civil right” of homosexuality. You can find the facts here. WARNING: GRAPHIC TRUTH.
- 28 percent of homosexual males had sexual encounters with 1,000 or more males.
- 79 percent said more than half of their sex partners were strangers.
- Half of the white homosexual said that they had at least 500 different sex partners.
- Some reported as many as 20,000 different partners.
- Average age of death from AIDS ..... 35.7 years.
- Expected average life span (of the homosexual community) 45 years.
Here’s more
- 90% of gays have engaged in rectal intercourse, and about 67% do it regularly.
- Gays averaged 110 sex partners and 68 rectal encounters a year.
- Over 1/3 of gays admit to “fisting”. (Putting their fist where the sun don’t shine.)
- About 80% of gays admit to tongue/anus penetration.
According to reports The journal AIDS reported that in the Netherlands, where "gay marriage" has been legal since 2001, HIV and other diseases are soaring among homosexual men. The study notes that "partnered" homosexuals have "outside" lovers, and are contracting the AIDS virus at alarming rates. This puts more young people at risk for HIV, hepatitis A, B and C, "gay bowel syndrome," human papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases.19
Most of you have probably quit reading because you are sick to your stomach. Truth has a way of doing that. Hey, if some man wants to have sex with 20,000 men, I guess that is his choice, but shouldn’t we tell our children that the behavior is deviant and very, very dangerous? Heck, I’m not sure I have shaken hands with 20,000 people in my life.
You can’t teach school or serve food if you have tuberculosis. Did you notice the sign in the restaurant’s bathroom, “All employees must wash hands before returning to work.” Why doesn’t it say “All employees must wash hands after smoking” if smoking is so dangerous?
Still think I’m harsh? Ask yourselves this. How many people would be alive today if it were not for the scourge of AIDS? Despite what they tell you, AIDS is a homosexual disease. Look at these charts. Most men got AIDS from other men, but the hidden secret is, so did most women. Even though they call it heterosexual transmission how many of the infected women got AIDS from men who had sex with other men, who then spread it to the woman? (I think you call that second-hand AIDS.)
What are we allowing our children to be taught? Why are we allowing them to be lied to? Why are we teaching them that eating too much and sitting on their butts is abnormal, but engaging in deviant homosexual behavior is “gay?”
If you had your choice…come on, you can be honest with yourself…would you rather the schools taught your children to try smoking or homosexuality? Would you want your son to be fat or have sex with boys?
You don’t have to answer.
Homosexuality is not a civil right. It is a death sentence. Unfortunately, we love homosexuality more than we love Truth. Our children will pay the price.
I just thought someone should set the record straight.
“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Galatians 4:16

I used to be very judgemental about gay people until my brother "came out of the closet." Ironically, when he was 7, the kids in our youth group (of a very well known church now) called him gay. That was the first time he ever heard the word. After I met his friends, I could understand why he would want to be around people that were more like him. I didn't agree with it and my heart was grieved, but it was obvious that no "normal" people in the church or in society had any use for him. Praise God for the blood and the love of Jesus. Because we loved him and showed God's grace (not acceptance of the lifestyle but honoring him as a human being)and much prayer, he became a Christian and has been delivered from much of his effeminate mannerisms. He loves God and found a church that loves him despite his past. He has been born again, baptized and loves Jesus. I am pro life, pro family but also pro "love the sinner, not the sin." It is easy to look at others and say, I am glad I am not like that person. Be careful before it hits close to home. You may have a gay person, sex offender, adulterer, liar, gosspier in your family. Jesus paid the price for everyone, and the last time I checked, this was the crowd he hung out with the most.

First of all we can not legislate morality. I know the Bible warns against this behavior, however being hateful is no way to try and rehabilitate gay people. I have a friend that is a gay man, he used to go to church. USED TO, being the key here. The people of the church did hateful things and pushed him out. Now how is this gonna help to convict him and make him do different. When I last spoke with him I asked him what I ask you. Will you be with me on judgement day to answer for me or will I be with you? No, we all are responsible for our own choice's. As much as I believe being gay is wrong, I don't hate the sinner only their sin. I think Christians ought to be very careful how they approach gay people and engage in conversation. I think you can be honest without being cruel. Just a bit of food for thought.

Just take a look at our laws which penalizes people for stealing, lying, killing, rape, incest, and adultry. Sometimes people who don't understand how to deal with someone who needs help can be mean. I would suggest to your friend that he finds a church that is loving and will help him on his journey to living a lifestyle that glorifies God. I will be praying for you and him. You can google the following for help, Exodus international, pfox, love in action, Janet Boynes ministries, desert stream ministries, and straight talk radio. Click here to reply to this post

| Posted On: 01/27/07 02:18:31 PM | | Age 19, VA | we can legislate ethics, like you mention stealing, killing, etc. But morality is generally perceived to be one persons personal views. you you legislate that, you have a despot, and you are not truly free. Hence, 'freedom of religion,' you dont have religious based laws. this says nothing of the authors argument that homosexuality is a health issue, which is an attempt to make this not a moral issue. To that i would say Aids is prominent in several activities, dirty drugs, heterosexual sex, even blood to blood contact (although i think it stopped being a blood transfusion problem 15 years ago). Since the acquisition of the disease is pluralistic, attempting to quarantine it by forbidding homosexual sex is woefully inadequate, not to mention impossible to enforce. The real solution lies in the solution to every disease, namely, medicine and medical research. Click here to reply to this post
- Um....
| Posted On: 01/27/07 04:36:41 PM | | Age 18, MN | Your dichotemy between ethics and morals are problematic for several reasons: One is that Coach Dave pointed out the shorter lifespans of homosexuals. Two, even if morals were just personal, keep in mind that homosexuality was viewed as wrong a mere 50-60 years ago in general. So that argument doesn't work since now it is becoming more and more accepted. If morals are, by the way, relative, then so are ethics. Also, keep in mind that in Canada right now has made 'hate crime' laws that make it impossible for anyone to say that homosexuality is wrong openly. Is that free speech being supported? No, there's a violation of rights right there, and there are going to be attempts to try and replicate it here in the USA. You are correct in saying that AIDS does pass from more than homosexual sex (more so in immoral heterosexual sex). But that doesn't change the issue. God condemns all forms of immoral sexuality, heterosexual or homosexual in nature. And just because we can fix something doesn't give us the right to break it in the first place. Have a great day!

| Posted On: 01/26/07 01:48:43 PM | | Age 41, NJ | We can and do legislate morality everyday. We have laws against stealing, killing, sexual abuse, and lying, just to name a few. I'm sorry to hear about your friend's experience at church. He can find one that will help him in love to live a lifestyle that brings glory to God. Refer your friend to these ministries online that are trained to help. Check out desertstream, exodus,pfox loveinaction,realityresources, straighttalkradio.

- Actually, you can...
| Posted On: 01/25/07 02:30:26 PM | | Age 18, MN | ...legistlate morality. In fact, it's impossible not too. Every law ever made reflects someone's morality, whether Christian, Muslim, Secular Humanist, Marxist, New Ager, Postmodernist, etc. For example, the 6th Commandment in Ex. 20 is "Don't steal". Well, is it crime to rob a bank? To break in a house and steal the family silver and jewelery? It certainly is. However, does this mean we should run onto the streets and scream "You sinner!" at homosexuals? No, obviously not. Jesus calls people to repentence and salvation. Homosexuals can come to Christ, just like liars, thieves, blasphemers, murderers, etc. However, no one, homosexual or not, can simply say a sinners prayer and keep on sinning. And we can't make people comfortable at the expense of truth. Homosexuality is wrong, that's stated in the Bible. In fact, what 1 Cor. 13 say? "Love...rejoices in the Truth". Are we tell the truth? No, we are to TELL the TRUTH in LOVE. The truth hurts, but the love behind is what makes people respond...God's love that is. So, like the above writer says, we need to be honest and loving, not just honest. Each of us is held accountable to his/her own sin, but also keep in mind that the loving thing to do is to help other people deal with their sin, whether through prayer (a must I should say), counseling, Bible reading (another must), etc. Anyway, have a great day!

| Posted On: 01/25/07 12:53:51 AM | | Age 51, GA | Excuse me, first of all, we do legislate morality, civilized society always has... Rape, stealing, murder, pedophilia, bestiality, polgymy, etc. So, yes we do legislate morality, don't mistreat your pet or animals, age restrictons, fairness, and a sundry other things ad infinitum. Morality as defined by the American Heritage dictionary - "The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct." Society decides what is right or good conduct, but the Lord God has the final authority. You don't want to abide by His rules, pay the consequences.

If homosexuals are more promiscuous than heterosexuals, is it a surprise they've got more diseases? Correlation does not equal causation. Promiscuity and kinky sex, with your own gender or the opposite, is a health issue (yes, heterosexuals do all those things, too). I was under the impression that schools were teaching safe sex, gay and otherwise, to prevent the kids from getting these diseases and having children. The Christians will pull their kids from public schools if the teaching offends them. All the kids left are the ones who are most likely to put that safe sex teaching to use within a few years, whether their parents like it or not. So saying "would you rather the schools taught your children..." is dramatic and captivating, but not even applicable. Also, when one asks "How many people would be alive today if it were not for the scourge of AIDS?" one assumes that homosexuality is or ever was completely to blame (it even started with bestiality, and it might have been a female monkey!) and then one is free to point fingers at schools or even all liberals. It's easier to sit back and thrust our trigger-happy pointer fingers at liberals than to actually do something about the scourge of AIDS. Are there so many Africans with AIDS because they are all gay? I think not. You're right, schools are giving tips on non-Christian practices to the non-Christian children. Let's spend less time squawking to one another about those yucky gays and spend more time finding a way to reclaim our country. Yes, that is our responsibility. To quote 39 from CO, "The U.S. is falling apart and I don't think God is going to save us!" Did you hear about the guy who prayed every night for God to let him win the lottery, and finally God told him "I'll meet you halfway; how about buying a lottery ticket?"

Thank you for writing this. Those statistics are indeed sobering, and I wish more people were aware of them - as a student in high school in one of the most liberal states, I hear the discussion of 'choice' nearly every day. The most popular books to read for teens often deal with love that surpasses all obstacles.. namely, being gay in a world that is 'unaccepting'. Every day I see kids my age who believe that they should be gay, or kids who believe that 'love is blind', and it breaks my heart to see how utterly lost they are. And for all the romantic aspects of this 'forbidden love', no one seems to realize that the amount of disease and pain that comes from living a deviant lifestyle is many times more the amount of short-lived pleasure that may come from 'being in "love"', or 'living on the edge'. Across America, health classes teach how to have safe sex, and nurses pass out condoms, but never do they mention that it is far easier to die from being homosexual than it is to die from being promiscuous and heterosexual.
So thank you for writing this article. I wish more people would take the time to examine this serious issue more closely, even though it is an unpleasant one. Because, after all, it's not about the choices you make - it's about the life you're throwing away. God knew what he was saying when He condemned the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Forgive the length. Paragraph breaks not allowed so I will use .... I read your article with great interest, but in the end was unable to ascertain what your preferred action should be. Should homosexuality be illegal? Or are you lobbying for some smaller, more incremental action? .... The argument is framed in America with Christians on the defensive because we live in a democracy, not a theocracy, and we seem to have trouble coming up with any other reason to ban homosexuality other than "it's sinful." This argument doesn't fly with most. .... However, in this article, the coach provides us with some statistics which prove, above and beyond "sinfulness" that homosexuality is dangerous, but what are we to do with these? If we ban homosexuality, are we to ban pre-marital sex as well? Adultery? .... How about the first commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"? Of course if we try to dictate religious/spiritual issues, it becomes clear that our Constitution forbids this. Behavior issues are usually only forbidden by law when they include malice, violence, or some measure of unfairness (anti-trust laws and so forth). .... Of COURSE sin is dangerous, particularly homosexuality. But millions of people are practicing horrendously dangerous hetero sex, as well, but because they aren't behind a political movement, Christians are by and large more silent about them. But God says in His Word sin is dangerous, and the "wages of sin is death." We shouldn't be surprised. .... I would submit that instead of lobbying the government for ANYTHING, or trying to ban or change behaviors on a widespread scale, that we use our focus to evangelize each individual lost person by using the law to show them their sin, telling them of hell, then telling them of Christ and heaven if they are receptive. Remember, Christ did not set up and earthly kingdom; His kingdom is not of this world and neither is ours. We don't own it, and our change of it is going to be minimal at best. We also can't expect the unsaved to act like Christians. But if our mission is to win ALL sinners to Christ, we have a fighting chance, and we are doing the Lord's will.

Didn't mean to neglect that. I also hope no one infers that I am going soft on homosexuality, because if I didn't make it clear, it IS sin, no question. Click here to reply to this post

When I was working a few years ago, a lady who was gay had a Bible on her desk. She asked me if I thought being "gay" was wrong/sinful. I said, "Yes. The Bible is very clear." She asked if I thought ill of her. I said, "No, but I don't agree with lifestyle." She wasn't offended by my responses and even wanted to attend my churh. During that time I was in a Bible Study (BS). I shared my story with the BS group and asked for prayer for the girl. I was osterized! The women in the BS group thought I was judging her and not being a loving Christian! I couldn't believe it. I dropped out of the BS group. To think that a gay person thought I was loving and caring with my responses to her and to be attacked by my BS group was unbelieveable to me.
Now, I stay home fulltime and homeschool our children so they are not exposed to what you talk about in your article. We are concerned about exposing them to the accepting and tolerant attitudes regarding sinful behaviour demonstrated by others/Christians that God is so against in His Word.
There is so much hypocrisy in our country today. For instance, you have O'Donnell praising Danny Devito for being drunk on her show and blasting Paula Abdul for "supposedly being drunk" on Idol. How can a person say that one person being drunk is okay and the another person being "supposedly" drunk is not? How can you can it is not okay to be mean to people on one show, but it's okay to dishonor the President of the U.S. on another? How do you teach morals to children with inconsistent thinking such as that? What does it say about our Country that we even care about rantings of a TV personality that has no compass?
The U.S. is falling apart and I don't think God is going to save us!
