Homophobia: The Fear Behind The Hatred
If you look up "homophobia" in the dictionary, it will probably tell you that it is the fear of homosexuals.
While many would take issue with that definition, it is nevertheless true that in many ways, it really is a fear of homosexuality or at least homosexuals, as we will see in this essay.
Homophobia is widespread in America, far more widespread than most heterosexuals realize, and it is far more subtle, too. The discrimination it inspires touches the lives of many Americans, not just gay Americans, but all Americans. And America pays a very dear price for it as we shall see.

Homophobia runs rampant in America's minority communities but nobody likes to talk about it. "shhhhhhhhh"

Re: Homophobia: The Fear Behind The Hatred
Fear of committing sin and crime is a perfectly healthy emotion, and hating that sin and crime is equally healthy and normal. Only fools try to act like they are "not afraid" of sin and evil and crime.
Remember that and a person has a chance in life; forget it and a person will only repeat the same old mistakes of the past. Hell continues, Satan dances and God suffers more.
Just say "No" to sin and evil.

You're wrong on all three counts. At least read Anthony Borgia, "Life in the World Unseen", Carl Wickland's "Thirty Years Among the Dead", and Emanual Swedenborg. Then read the "Divine Principle" and "Exposition of the Principle". Stick with original sources. No Cliff Notes or 3rd party "interpretations" will ever do anyone any justice.
Then get back to me.

Like you ever read any of the things I suggest. ... You're so utterly self-important.
I don't have to read your silliness, and I don't have to get back to you... I simply disagree with you entirely... And that will never change... None of those authors know any better than you or I. None of them.
Hell is a conjured up setting by a theocratic belief system from centuries ago made to keep people under control and in line...
The God I believe in is much more loving and accepting than your old testament version, Fog... Sorry...

Suit yourself. We'll get to see clearly eventually. You can't say I never tried to help you. And I did check out that site you gave on Ruppert, even stayed through a half hour of his lecture, though I still don't know where he is going with it all, except to scare the hell out of people.
Anyhow, Borgia, Wickland, and Swedenborg are not my creations. They've each been around for decades, centuries in Swedenborg's case. You can ignore them, but why?? I made an assertion based not just on my own subjective feeling but backed up with the observations of others. Surely on the matter of God and Satan, Heaven and Hell, and our eternal lives, we had better be as sure as we can be. "There is no freedom in ignorance". Ignorance is NOT bliss.
