Comments on: The Days are coming… http://wthrockmorton.com/2010/02/25/the-days-are-coming/ A College Psychology Professor's Observations About Public Policy, Mental Health, Sexual Identity, and Religious Issues Thu, 24 May 2012 07:55:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Eddy http://wthrockmorton.com/2010/02/25/the-days-are-coming/comment-page-1/#comment-241331 Eddy Sat, 06 Mar 2010 04:33:21 +0000 http://wthrockmorton.com/?p=6161#comment-241331 Not particularly pleased with either side's approach at the moment. I have a lot of trouble with 'silence' as an effective communicator. I also have problems with scheduling the 'Day of Truth' to coincide with the "Day of Silence" and then pretending that it isn't intended to be 'confrontive'. On the bright side, though, it does put a bit more pressure on the Christians. It gives them the 'Day of Truth' to express their beliefs and the 'Day of Silence' to <em>demonstrate</em> them. Do you really 'love the sinner and hate the sin'? That better play out on the 'Day on Silence' or you'll be giving a vivid example of hypocrisy to impressionable youth. Sometimes, I think EXODUS, despite past experiences, forgets how many true bigots jump on the bandwagon as it passes by. I hear what they are saying, and I judge them 'clean'; I hear what some others are saying as they wait to jump on the bandwagon as it passes, and I am mortified. It's one man's opinion, but I wish with all of my heart that EXODUS hadn't made the well intended 'Day of Truth' tangent to the 'Day of Silence'.

Yah, i can understand John Shore. Chistians love to hear you go to hell, when you have abnormal sex. They go to church to hear this. They go to church to hear that hurricans are from abortion and gay pride. Some Christians love to block LGB-Kids or Childs from LGBs from school. And they would like to be so treated, when they where ´gay (in their thinking now.) And so i shoud be treated? Also: <em>I have nothing against homosexuals. / I hate the sin, not the sinner.</em> And so i say: All homosexuals have bad father-relation. So i use Amsterdam-Study. So i use all the bad statistics about homosexuals without to qualify it more, only the bad results. Or something else. Everytime, when i hear or read something of the kind it means not much to me. I question or look futher. What he means real with this? Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

This week, the Illinois Family Institute sent out an email asking for supporters to find out if their local school would be taking part in the Day of Silence. Soon after, Exodus sent out an email promoting the Day of Truth.
