Eric responds to A.B.

"I applaud your stance on homosexuality (referring to AB). Your suggestion to boycott and take a stance is indeed challenging in light of our current cultural relativity and climate. May I suggest to all to BLOG in our website. As a Christian or Atheists, Muslim, Buddhist, Freethinker, Evolutionist and so on why do YOU...yes, YOU... believe that Homosexuality is morally fine or morally reprehensible? Please go to: http://www.asianchurchofchrist.org/ . Step two, when you are at the web site: Go to the blog and click it. Step three, enter Username: asiancoc; Password: echurch. This is for everyone who wants to share things with each other. I look forward to having a good stimulating dialogue. Dr. Eric

Response from T.W.

"Thank you for your concern on such a prominent issue. Like some of the major issues that make up the American political and social landscape, it would appear that we disagree on this one -- which is fine with me, since discourse on these issues helps to refine, alter or reinforce our own beliefs." From T.W.

A.B. Writes About McDonald's Recent Actions

"McDonald's Vice-President is an open homosexual and stated that he will use his position to promote the homosexual agenda. The American Family Association approached McDonald's last month asking them to be neutral on this issue, but McDonald's sent a letter to the AFA stating they will NOT stay neutral but intends to promote greater acceptance. They joined the Gay/Lesbian National Chamber of Commerce (to promote businesses that supports the homosexual agenda), donated thousands of dollars to various homosexual organizations, and here (click link below) they openly sponsored the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade. Look at these disgusting pictures...are they consistent with supporting family values? Is this what you call "clean" fun? Would you like your little brother or sister (or your children) to watch this and get brainwashed that this is okay/good? http://boycottmcdonalds.com/detail.aspx?id=106 The AFA is asking for a boycott of McDonald's and I'm going to support them. What should you do? I'm not asking you to throw away your McDonald's gift certificates or anything like that...USE them! Afterall, they already got the giver's money who bought them, so you're not giving them any more money...but don't buy any more. I'm not asking you not to eat there if you're stuck in the middle of no-where and it's the only place open...if you gotta eat, eat...but try your best not to get yourself in that situation. When you're with your friends and they all want to go to McDonald's, try to convince them to eat at "In-&-Out"! or that family-owned, "hole-in-the-wall" hamburger stand at the next corner. What if you work for McDonald's or have relatives that own, manages, or works for McDonald's? Then encourage them and pray for them to do whatever they can do from within to help. I would call or email McDonald's (I already did on the link) that you're disgusted at their unwillingness to stay NEUTRAL and that you intend to boycott their products until such time that they demonstrate a willingness to separate the marketing of their products with the marketing of the homosexual life style. Yes, the Bible does say that in the End Times, before the Lord returns, it will be like the days of Sodom & Gomorrah when homosexuality is flaunted. From: A.B.

Eric responds to AB's post

AB has challenged us as Christians to take a stance against homosexuality. Are we Christians 'so narrow minded,' 'bigot' against homosexuality? After all don't they deserve the same rights as everybody? I like to hear from your views as a Christian, Atheist, Agnostic, Evolutionist.....

There are some ground rules on this post: Disagreement is healthy as long as we do this in Irenic way. Your post will be erased if there is obscenity, disrespectful to your opponent.

Blessings

Eric
