Forcing One's Morality on Others - Part II

On May 28, 2008 the following letter to the editor by Paul Holmes that appeared in the Columbian (Vancouver, WA) newspaper attacking Christianity's view of homosexual behavior. My comments are in italics:

This is the second in a four part series.

Paul Holmes writes:
Second, in reading the four gospels (Christ’s actual words and teachings) it is a long stretch to even find a reference to homosexuality.

Therefore, what? The unstated premise is that whatever is not mentioned in the gospels is okay. By this logic, Holmes would have to say gay-bashing and child molestation are okay since neither is mentioned in the gospels. I doubt Holmes would go there which brings us back to what exactly is Holmes' point.

Second, refer to my point in "Forcing One's Morality on Others - Part I" regarding Jesus being the Hebrew God who did have something to say about homosexual behavior.

Next post: Christians should keep their beliefs to themselves.
