STOP Spiritual Violence
A Biblical Response to the Question People Often Ask.....
"How can you consider yourself a Christian when you are also gay?"
A Personal Response by the Rev. Dr. Mel White to other concerned Americans
WHAT THE BIBLE DOES - AND DOESN'T SAY - ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY
Hello neighbor,
The person who has offered you this complimentary pamphlet is either a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender American OR a heterosexual friend or ally.
We have volunteered our time to go door-to-door with this important information because we are concerned about the continuing anti-homosexual campaign by religious leaders in our country.
You know how Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, James Dobson and the other fundamentalist televangelists use antigay rhetoric to create fear and anger among their listeners. For some mysterious reason, talking about gay Americans as both "sick" and "sinful" and a "threat to the family and society" has become a very effective way to raise money and mobilize volunteers.
Even though the nation's scientific community has concluded that homosexual orientation is a natural human variation (see the evidence enclosed), religious leaders still hang on to ancient prejudice using a few sentences from the Bible to justice their intolerance.
This phamplet is a response to that kind of biblical misuse. Thank you for accepting it from our Soulforce volunteers - and thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to read and ponder it. Let the Spirit of Truth use these words to bring hope and healing in your life or the life of someone you know and love.
Sincerely,
Mel White, Executive Director, Soulforce
