In the wake of the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer getting a serious case of diarrhea of the mouth over the past week or so, suggesting that homosexuality should be criminalized just like drug use, I’ve been issuing the necessary smackdowns. But now Jesus’ General has issued the ultimate smackdown, and it deserves to be highlighted:
Dear Brother Fischer,
It looks like your suggestion that homosexualists be prosecuted caught the Southern Poverty Law Center’s attention. They’re basically calling you an idiot for comparing same-sex lovers to intravenous drug users. They note that while drug abuse is illegal, the courts have ruled laws against homsexualism to be unconstitutional. The SPLC also destroys your health threat argument by pointing out that “there has never been a confirmed case of female-to-female HIV transmission in the United States.”
Now, I know what your thinking: “Not-men can’t be homosexualists. They don’t have ‘little soldiers’.”
Yes. You will want to read the entire thing. The last line is genius.
It would seem that homophobia is more important to radical anti-gay activist Fisher than Christ. No where does Christ mention being gay and He certainly never condones homophobia. I think I’ll side with Christ on this issue rather than a large anti-gay advocacy group promoting the anti-gay agenda and intent on imposing their religious beliefs on the rest of us. As for unrepentant homophobe Fisher, he was not born homophobic, he chooses to be homophobic. Thousands and thousands have walked away from homophobia. The good news is that he can too, if he repents and is sincere in leaving this sinful behavior. Watching the movie “Tears For Bobby” could be a useful first step in his recovery.
