Gender Awareness Seminar

I had to attend this for our Kas1 subject last Monday from 8am to 12 in the afternoon. Actually, I arrived there at around 9:45am, just in time to see the last slides about lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, etc. The seminar itself was informative, but what unnerved me most was the question and answer portion.

Someone asked a question about the church's stand on homosexuality. Then this woman answered that the Bible didn't say anything clear about the subject so the Catholic church doesn't have anything to say about homosexuality. She also said that there were four gay/lesbian writers in the Bible but she failed to remember who.

I was like, "HUWAAAT?!?" when she said those things. That is so nonsense. The Bible did mention something about homosexuality although it doesn't really say it directly. Take the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, for example. I have only one thing to say about the four writers: foolish. Plain foolishness. Why would God, in all his goodness and perfect-ness, use those kinds of people? It's true that He used sinners, but when they began to write the Word of God, they shunned their sinful ways and turned their backs from the world.

I felt worse after that seminar. Very much worse.
