“We have to not weaponize the Bible to cover up, a lot of times, our homophobic views that have nothing to do with the Bible.
A lot of people that maybe profess Christianity, they have views that are not even bibliocentric. It’s their personal views that they do not understand, sometimes maybe the biology of homosexuality, and so they want to find a scripture to try to justify their own homophobic views.
You can’t abuse people from a platform, because that ain’t love, that’s not the gospel, to take a microphone and weaponize it to hurt people and to condemn people.”Grammy-winning gospel singer Kirk Franklin talking to Sirius XM’s Clay Cane about homophobia in the church.

Franklin is 100% right IMHO

I’m going to write a book on what people should stop believing. The Bible will be chapter one.

I can’t stand people who use their religion to justify their hate of other people, or issues or whatever. To claim that Jesus requires you to hate immigrants and separate their families, to deny health care insurance to people, and to bash gays, is awful. And to disown your own children because they are gay is just sick.

Unfortunately, It’s not just bible thumpers doing those things.

Oops! Did I say that?? 🙂
My gaydar goes insane when I see him. And it’s been that way for years.
