Scared Straight: The Manipulation of the LGBT Community by Society and the Church – hinnat ja saatavuus

Homosexuality is NOT a sin, furthermore, religious teaching is completely wrong on this subject. TRUTH-Truth is different from "true". Truth must be discovered, it must be sought, it must be "found". It does not appear on the surface as an easily obtainable cork bobbing on the top of the water, able to be plucked out of the ocean of debris with a fishing net. It is not quickly seen by the untrained or the lazy eye. Truth is not delivered to our doorstep, nor is it found on the front page of the newspaper, or even on the home pages of "google", "yahoo", or "facebook". Truth will only be found and experienced after some time of struggle, inspection, discovery, and the actual burning desire to separate it from all the fluff that we have been inundated with over the years. The onslaught of lies, half truths, and rumors make it difficult to separate truth from clamor in our ears, our eyes, our brains, and most importantly, our spirits. As a youngster, I recall a neighbor having a dog with three legs. I knew that dogs had four legs. Thus, I had a problem. Hmm, a dog with three legs versus the concept that dogs had four legs. I came to understand that dogs were born with four legs (truth), yet Tippy was born with only three (true). It was the first time that I was faced with a decision of whether to believe truth or accept something less than truth as accepted "fact" for all time. I knew what the truth was, yet my eyes were telling me something different. I had to take the scales off of my own eyes as I began my journey to find truth for myself. I have thought about that scenario many times in my walk, and it has helped me to separate fact from circumstance. As you read this, I pray you might find some truth. I ask you to open your mind and heart and ask yourself if any of this is really plausible, since it may fly in the face of what you have learned in your life up to this point.
