Nowhere does the Bible actually oppose homosexuality. Worse still, these beliefs are irrational, just a fiction of blind conviction. We now face religious jingoism, the imposition of personal beliefs on the whole pluralistic society. Lurking beneath anti-gay forays, you inevitably find religion and, above all, the Bible. In a nation that touts separation of religion and government, religious-based arguments command this battle. President Barack Obama's support of same-sex marriage, like blood in the water, has conservative sharks circling for a kill. Helminiak's writing will be in bold and then my response will follow. A quick trip through the piece will show you what I mean. On Tuesday afternoon, CNN ran an article on its Belief Blog by Catholic priest ( sort of) Daniel Helminiak entitled "My Take: What the Bible really says about homosexuality." The article is amazing for including so many bad arguments in so little space.
