Prejudice to Overcome

On the cover of the DVD, "Doctor Detroit" is swinging on a large chain. And at the bottom, there's a subtitle that says, "They're making the world safe...for insanity!" The film being made in about 1983, especially, I assume the chain referred to a certain Bible text? And homosexuality was referred to as insanity? [There weren't many direct references to homosexuality in the film--one or two, that I recall.] *** Sorry I don't have time to look up any exact texts, right now. But a verse in the New Testament of the Bible says something about "promising liberty, while they themselves are servants [of corruption]." When I was a teenager, there were slogans like "Be free," and, "Do your own thing!" Young people didn't want to follow rules; and some were addicted to illegal drugs. "Freedom" was the thing--and so was addiction! *** There's another verse in the Bible that says, "You shall know the truth; and the truth shall set you free." Is there anything wrong with truth that sets people free??? There's also a slogan that says, "Knowledge dispels fear." Maybe if people had a little knowledge--the right facts--about homosexuality, they wouldn't have to be so afraid of it!? That is, they wouldn't have to be afraid of dealing with homosexual people or of letting them deal with their necessary issues. Being in denial and covering up problems isn't usually the best thing. There's also a verse in the Bible that says, "[Jesus] came so that [people] might have life; and have it more abundantly!" Don't we all want "abundant life"? To live to the fullest? Should we deny it to some people? Well, the world has changed a little since 1983--but not everyone has! *** God gives everyone a choice of how they want to live.--He hasn't createad us like robots--although He could have! If some people don't have enough rights and freedom to make their choices, how can they live a healthy and functional life--let alone to appreciate and accept spirituality in their lives!? The Bible says a lot about tolerance and forgiveness--and it's not up to us to judge others' progress.
