Dear Editor,
I was reading chapter 78 of the Book of Psalms, and immediately my mind started to race. My mind passed on someone whom I respect for their insight in life, who once told me that I should tackle the social behaviour of the community once in while in my letters to you. I also thought of Proverbs 22:6, and came to the conclusion that if same-sex behaviour has to be accepted, then put back the bible in the schools.
I believe the same argument that is used to accept same-sex behaviour (LGBT) is the same argument that can be used to oblige atheists to accept the billions of us who believe in God, and what is written in the Bible long before all of us who are currently alive, were born.
Even if I do not want to see people's openly homosexual behaviour and desire for the same sex, I am obliged to accept it, so they too have to accept my way of acquiring my desire for the knowledge of God. They even demand related rights and claim that those desires are legitimate. My desire for God is also legitimate.
If we want to compare who has the more logical argument, just look at the anatomy of man and woman and then compare it to what is written in the Bible and what everybody has experienced during his or her lifetime. It is all there in the Bible. Two women or two men cannot produce a child; it takes a man and a woman to do that, so that the same-sex couple can adopt that which was produced by the normal coming together of a man and a woman. Genesis 1:28.
Many believe they were born that way, billions more believe and live in accordance with that which is written in the Bible. Put back the bible in the schools. If one thinks that I am against LGBT, let me put it this way. Just check who is fighting tooth and nail for the world to accept that which is forbidden in the book that I believe in. Children who are instructed in the ways of the Lord, are less likely to end up in jail. Save the children!
