  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Professor previously authored papers on ‘biblical rape stories,’ suggested Elisha molested child

A gender studies professor in Virginia whose latest work focuses on rape and sexual assault in the Scriptures is leading a course on what it means to “queer" the Bible.

The University of Richmond, a private liberal arts college in Richmond, Virginia, has launched a new religious studies course titled “Queer Bible,” which invites students to explore the Bible through the perspectives of LGBT-focused “queer theory and sexuality.” The class, designed to “queer the Bible” and its interpretations, tackles subjects such as sexuality, gender identity and “queer pleasure in the Bible,” according to its official description.

Leading the course is professor Rhiannon Graybill, a women, gender, & sexuality studies advisory board member at the university and a scholar of the Hebrew Bible, according to her university bio, which lists her “preferred pronouns” as “she/her.”

Could one imagine the Apostles giving Queer feminist readings of the Old Testament as they taught others? Like Saint Peter instructing some young men that in actuality David and Jonathan were actually gay lovers and we have to respect that. Leftist subversion has no limits.
