Orthodoxy Sez!

God doesn’t make

anything that isn’t

perfect,

and God

made people who are

homosexual,

therefore,

homosexuals are included in

God’s perfect creation.

However,

orthodoxy sez

the act (!) of homosexuality

is a sin.

Some Christians,

attempting to reconcile

their values of

compassion and judgment,

point to celibacy

as the way forward

for these people.

If these perfect creations

of God

do not choose

to deny themselves

that most basic

and essential of all human

experiences,

to love

and to be loved in return

in love’s many forms,

orthodoxy sez

they are damned.

So, then
because of their sacrifice,

the most holy and sanctified one

in the Christian church

must be the homosexual

who doesn’t engage

in sexual relations.

This is the person,

nay, the saint!

deserving of our respect

and veneration!

So,

now I ask you,

which proposition

is easier to believe:

that the Christian leaders

of this sin-ridden world

will call for the beatification

and sanctification of the

Christian Homosexual Celibate

as the paragon of virtue

and holiness,

or

that the

orthodox Christian interpretation

of human sexuality

based on Biblical principles

is inherently incorrect?
