Homosexuality threads

On the same note I was impressed yesterday the results of the MSN poll showed 59% versus 40% of people responding felt the flag amendment vote was just political posturing.

The horse is dead, folks. We are continuing to beat a dead horse.

No one is going to change anybody's mind on this subject.

People who are against homosexuality are going to continue to be against homosexuality and are going to find every Scripture they can and every religious and secular source they can to support their views.

Gays and lesbians and people who are supportive of gays and lesbians are going to find every Scripture they can and every religious and secular source they can to support their views.

We will continue going round and round and round in a circle without any resolution whatsoever because a resolution on this subject is simply not possible.

There is no resolution to this subject, folks. We can continue to quote every source we can but no one is going to change anybody else's mind.

Given that: can we agree to disagree and go on to another subject?

Well…I changed my mind.

If I can anyone can.

I think what is important is to understand that hate is very deep rooted and difficult to dislodge. But that does not mean one should not try.

There is a series of public service commercials on HIV awareness. http://www.knowhivaids.org/learn_new.html
They promote the goal of “Change one Mind. Change the world” And I agree. One mind can be terribly difficult to change. But even if only one mind is changed and the truth shines through…isn’t that worth it?

Good post. I agree that God does give people the grace to change their minds about discrimination or hatred of others. It may be hard but it can be done. I have read stories of repentant racists, who used to be belong to groups who were against integration and who hated Jewish people. They changed their minds due to a personal incident, or a revelation that caused them to see how their attitudes did more harm than good. A man my husband used to know was brought up to be an unforgiving racist. As he was dying of cancer in the hospital, he became friends with a black nurse, and he repented his previous racism. I think it takes seeing the object of one's fear and hatred in a human light; not as a criminal, or an animal, or something stunted or perverted, but as a fellow human being who deserves to be treated with love and compassion.

While some people can never be convinced, many others are willing to listen to the different arguments and honestly think about their views. It seems to happen only rarely, but there are few feelings more rewarding than those you get when you've managed to make someone really think about things and change their mind. If I make a hundred posts and persuade one person, I consider that a fair exchange.
