Unfit Donors and Shut in Offenders

I decided to make this one a twofer since I haven't posted in a few days (sorry). Anyway this is a post of two stories I saw on Drudge today. The first is a story about Homosexuals being unfit sperm donors and the second is about a town trying to ban Sexual Offenders from parks or other places where children might likely be found. Now I am not going to go into them in depth so you can just follow the links yourselves if you want to read. But I am going to compare and contrast them for you. Granted one story is about law and the other about preference, but there is a point to be made nonetheless. In the first story the laboratory chief Peter Fedorcsak is opposed to homosexual donors, and questions their psychological suitability for being donors. "The main motivation for a donor must be a desire to help others, not, for example, donating sperm in order to spread one's own genes, He said." (car tires screeching) Lets just stop right there a moment shall we. Does the good doctor mean to imply that people who are homosexual have some mental illness? By saying that they aren't psychologically suited to to sire children they are affirming the idea that there is something in the homosexual brain that is not firing right to begin with. A contention that those of us who believe homosexuals are not born gay agree with whole heartedly. But I digress, now onto the other story...

This story pits a town in Maine against men and women who have been classified sexual offenders and states that Millnocket is attempting to ban Child Molesters and the like from loitering at schools or parks. Offensive sexual behavior toward another human being is illegal, we all know that and it is established that people who engage in such activity are not mentaly sound. That their desire for young boys and girls is not rational or "right", why? Well, we just know it, it is an unspoken truth that nobody would ever dare deny because of its sheer obviousness, right? Well what about organizations like N.A.M.B.L.A? They seem to think its perfectly normal for men to feel up little boys.

The larger point here is that one is highly illegal and one is accepted and gaining more acceptance every year. That both are considered deviant behavior by most sane, right thinking people. That our society whether in public or private agrees that neither are a "good" thing in the purest sense of the word. So why is one illegal and one accepted? Why do we feel the way we do about these two acts as a people in general? The Bible does not draw any distinction at all, in the eyes of God Sexual Immorrality and Homsexual Acts are equal and both destructive and sinful. Check out 1 Corinthians 6:9 , God is not confused about sin, so why are we? I know that some of you reading this are going to think calling someone's sexuality a sin is hate speech, but I would submit to you that the only hate I and most others and especially God have is for sin itself, not the person committing the sin.

So this all hit me when I thought about where we dereive our laws, our laws are based on the Biblical teachings of Christianity and Judaism. Our problem is we cannot pick and choose which laws work and which ones don't in every case. Man's laws for example, can be changed, but Gods laws are enduring and ever relevant and most importantly they are there for a reason. To protect us! Yes, believe it or not they are our protection. I am not here to preach a sermon but I want to leave you with that. God calls those things sin becasue they are hurtful, they are wrong for you and because as your father his instinct is to protect you.
