(Another) Reply to What Did TF Say About Homosexuality?
If posting those quotes were your effort to turning someone off of homosexuality, or self acceptance, you just failed miserably. As a second gen thats struggling with her faith, reading those speeches - especially the first one - just makes me more disgusted with Moon. In fact, it gave me quite a revelation.
Half of what I love about the church, I got from my parents. I love their opinions on love. I love their opinions on forgiveness, and their interpretations of the bible. I love their open-heartedness, and their stubbornness, and their faith. But the second I hear something said my Moon himself, I wonder how my parents could have ever followed him. And I get that maybe that’s the whole point of the movement - to make better people of its followers - but when your “Massiah” says such blatantly wrong things, its a sign that maybe this just isn’t the way.Moon, from what I’ve gathered after eight years of workshops and fifteen of prayer and Sunday services, is a pretty questionable person. Repeating those lectures is not going to suddenly make me go “Oh wait, I like man-meat, nevermind.” The fact is, I don’t have your faith. And faith is not something you can force upon anyone, not even someone born in your own family. Without the faith, what you posted is just offensive.
This is not a place to offend people, and its not a place to preach. This is a place where you can be - respectfully - honest. Don’t poison that kind of atmosphere with hate. And that is what that lecture is made of - hate. Compassionate, understanding people do not call others dung eating dogs. If I were to call you, or anyone really, a dung eating dog, I’m pretty sure that would be taken as a fairly negative remark, and they would be hurt, and get more than a little defensive.
Anyway, that’s my rant sorted…
