Don't Blame Christianity where is there a Church whose pulpit isn't government controlled?

 Sadly if you live in Egypt you know what I am talking about because it is overt and more clearly given.  Keeping in mind, that over there to control extremism, and over here, to apparently enhance it!
   Although I would point out the general origins of sexual orientation discrimination has often, for instance, been attributed to select biblical passages at least in so far as 'religious' thinking.  On the other hand, this having been argued interpreted as different relative the likely interpretation and meaning that might have been implied then.  For instance, Sodomite may have actually referred little to people that engaged in specific sexual intercourse practices or having relation to sexual orientation practices, but instead were referring to a crooked and corrupt peoples engaged in any number of spiritual offenses, and likely much the same for ethical considerations. As to offense, I am referring here in the context of liars, murderers, thieves, and a litany of anything else applicable.  Using the term Sodomite, might have provoked some highly political screwed up church in Topeka to protest at the families of deceased soldiers, not because the adherents believed that a war were bad, or on the issue of overall moral strains running in this country, but instead because the soldiers were defending gays, or one should wonder, as American political strains of Christianity not only take on the guise of something not Christian, televangelism then having shored up the selection of religious faith itself.  If it weren't ordinary commonplace sins, anything of relating to the Ten Commandments, and then likely the messaging regarding extraordinary sin such as homosexuality.  Here extraordinary sins, rank seemingly at the highest of biblical offenses, although its quite difficult for one to understand exactly why?  :D   If the sins amounted to declines in supposedly fertility, it shouldn't be as much a problem that gays contribute to the added stresses and strains of a world population in general, or in this case, such sin seems to relate as much to any belief that might be given from criminally minded lunatics that others would define as a cult.  Irrational in many respects, but minding that in such a world, slavery were justified for all sorts of irrational beliefs.  More so it seems if something of religious law were conceived it were done much like the natural force and work of biological imperatives.  If given a population the inclination to self associate and discriminate should somehow be at times a warping and strong characteristic, but then in terms of human societies, such imperative becomes entirely archaic to the notion of existence or given by necessity.   Varied biological traits, for instance, make little difference in human populations, if it weren't directly effecting to sexual reproduction, and likely none of the survival stresses and strains would place so much demand on physical traits homogeneity, or in other words, the distinction of peoples being white, black, brown, yellow, purple, and so forth arose precisely when humans had evolved to be smart enough to manage their affairs intelligent enough so much that these weren't given to the strict dictum of nature, but ironically now less than useful psychological selectivity traits would be left behind only adding to the inclination of human populations in creating 'religious' notions reinforcing psychological trait characteristics because the inclinations of selectivity hadn't exactly passed even if physical traits were changing.
     Yes even proponents of slavery argued that inherent inferiority of a given race of people, and adding to this superiority of another race along similar lines, even if this were based upon much given ignorance.  While adding to this a religious component, which made slavery morally justifiable in such minds.  If there were anything of religion to be blamed, one should offer this weren't exactly religion, as an argument against religion for this sake, but an argument against a facet of humanity engaged as it were in the tradition of warping and distorting belief systems to conform to prevailing cultural notions, or especially where involving worldly power, the power of say residing in leaders, and ruling elites in saying what is or isn't.  Of course, it seems more unsettling to promote any religious notion which is unsettling to the operations of government here, and thus, more convenient to pick up on religious moral grounds that speak of convenience.  A popular religious strain, thus, promoting in such an American day, could sound after all like any other extremism found in the middle east, and ironically given so much time and public media access in saying otherwise.  On the other hand, when Christianity is given so much by the tele evangelism translated into big brother reality show that happenstance in previous time eras might have been a few shades off from Deliverance, one understandably questions what is the 'brand' of belief given by Americans.  Are they really so much believers like I, or is trying to understand such about as likely as trying to understand any other mess in the world.  By the way to the Phil Robertson's in the world, a belief that there is nothing wrong with homosexual peoples, could as well be logically equivalent to 'not having Jesus', to being an anything goes sort of psycho killer and so forth.  These right wing pseudo religious governmental nut jobs though have been saying this for decades about me (as far as I know I might have been the anti christ at birth to these folks), and apparently can't even bother to user their own court systems rightly.  Certainly they tried coding a long time ago, Bob Bibb and all but that were supposedly history?!   Of course, if it weren't for some evidently taking advantage a decade ago, sanitary so called 'religious' culture, a number of boys would be framed/scapegoated for crimes they hadn't committed, one placed on death row until exoneration some decades later having taken place.    It would appear the state of Arkansas never really issued a formal apology as of my last reading.  All the more in some perverted notion of religion for the sake of mankind, 'finding Jesus' should be a matter between life and death for worldly existence.  Hell bound hardliners find themselves obsessed it seems.
