 Good - but? March 2, 2008
4 out of 11 found this review helpful
I LIKE what this documentary says. I LIKE it - because I agree with it. I agree that fundamentalist Christianity (yes, I AM Christian!) has misinterpreted the Bible about homosexuality.
However, this documentary is one-sided. The fundamentalist view is presented in a negative light - and is ALWAYS refuted. In my training in debate - that's not fair. EVERYONE gets a rebuttal. Unfortunately, I find no documentary that rebuts these claims. What would I show to present a balanced view?
 Best Documentary I have ever seen! February 29, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Absolutely wonderful film. After spending years researching this topic much of information in the film was not new to me. However, this was best discussion on the subject I have come across. The sad truth is, most people just don't want to take the time to wade through information on the subject to intelligently discuss homosexuality as it relates to the bible. This film takes the effort out of researching and provides and excellent background for anyone who has ever wanted to challenge the notion that the bible comdemns homosexuality.
Abominations & heard the director February 22, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I had the privilege of seeing this film in a church near the hometown of director Daniel Karslake and he was there for Q & A afterwards. First we had the emotionally moving experience of seeing his masterpiece, then he spoke. He worked hard to get other fundamentalists to contribute. At first some agreed, only to change their minds as they heard more about the film. It is sad that some Christians are afraid to examine their beliefs in this way. This is a film about confusion and fear transforming into love and I was urging folks to see it even before it went on sale. You will never hear the word abomination in the same way again!
Please watch this movie! February 21, 2008

This is an excellent documentary. It was well-made, filmed and totally relevant. Not only should anyone who is interested in interpretations of the Bible see this, but also people who are struggling to come out of the closet because of religion or their family's views on being gay. Parents of gay children should see this as well. Thank you for making this excellent documentary!
 How to rape text to fit your agenda 101 February 17, 2008
3 out of 37 found this review helpful
I probably have never seen more evident example of twisting the plain meaning of the text to fit one's own dirty agenda.
First, I already posted my review of this abominable oxymoronic video. But for some reason it is not here. So, now I will not give as lengthy review as I did before. It is pointless. It is pointless precisely because ANY textual evidence would be raped again and again, pretty much as it was before. There was no new addition to the Bible since this video published, and they tried (they think they succeeded) to twist and stretch the meaning to unthinkable conclusions. So adding any objections will not surprise perverts. They have THEIR 'answers' already. What is more disgusting is the fact that they say that it is THEY who look for the context, and it is us - historical Christians, who preserved the Christianity for centuries and defended from various perverts and false teachers, who do not acknowledge context of the text. How preposterous! They are the ones who don't know why the Bible said not to plant two seeds together (as if it is meaningless and useless command). They are so dumb not to know, not us. They are the ones who make fun of the Bible precisely for these reasons. People who have no respect for the Scriptures, now dare to say that they know proper exegesis. For the record, two seeds were not allowed to be planted because neighboring pagan religions planted two cultures together in somewhat ritualistic manner as to marry them so that they would yield more harvest.
But, these Bible-rapists have smiling face expressions when pointing alleged discrepancies in the Bible, as if they were having fun. "Yeah, they think, Bible is full of dumb and meaningless commands, so now let's pick an choose what WE want, and what fits into our perverted queer theology".
What a disgrace... makes Christian feel nauseated. Not because of homosexual perversion, necessarily. But because of dishonesty and Bible-raping attempts to FIT text into one's ideology. Christianity stood in face of many false teachings throughout centuries, and it will withstand this one!!!
Second, I cannot let this Bible-raping go unnoticed. There is an responsibility both before me, and other Christians have to defend truth from this heresy as much as from say Dan's Brown gnostic heresy. Both love to twist PLAIN meaning, and lie about a meaning and a context. They think its fine to have Bible preserved by sometimes martyrdom of believers just to simply rape it in the end. People who has preserved it is immensely offended by this sort of 'queer theology'. What an abominable ideology!
There is no way, 'natural' and 'unnatural' in Romans 1 refers to customary. No matter how much one WANTS to see his own perversion being justified and even promoted in the Bible, it is simply NOT there.
Hom many times it has to be said again and again? There is no room for queer theology in Christianity. Christian homosexual = square circle. It is the same as Christian pedophile, or Christian necrophiliac, or Christian serial killer. It doesn't make sense.
Check Michael Brown's http://www.icnministries.org for true and honest Christian position on homosexual perversion.
