emmuh88 As a teenager that has grown up not only in a Catholic family but also in a society that portrays the issue of homosexuality as controversial, I found this movie extremely eye opening and interesting. Within the first few minutes of the movie, there was a quote that really stuck out to me: "This country is doing everything it can to make it seem like it is okay to be gay, and it's not." When I heard this I was shocked. How could someone say something so harsh and horrible? Throughout the movie, there were several families with a homosexual son or daughter. Most of the parents mentioned that when their child came out, they referred to the Bible. Leviticus 20:13 states, "If a man also lie with man and a woman also lie with woman, both of them are committing an abomination. They shall be put to death, their blood is upon them." Despite the fact that I am apart of the Catholic community, I had never once before heard of this verse. I feel as though the church portrays homosexuality as a sin that should be punished with death. I find this ridiculous. Overall, I thought this movie was intriguing and gave a new perspective on homosexuality (interviews of Christian parents of homosexuals) that I had never seen before.

mgliu49 The movie "For the Bible Tells Me So" was a very eye-opening movie. It gave me insight to the kind of hatred that Christian homosexuals have to put up with in their community, as well as overcoming their families initial negative views towards their sexual orientation. The Christian homosexuals in general, are regarded by many in the film as an "abomination". All the families are of an intense Christian background and when they find that their children are gay or lesbian, it changes their lives. What was very interesting in the film is how it is uncovered that the passage that states having a relationship with another man is wrong, is also surrounded by other verses that for example state you shouldn't eat pork, or shrimp. People have taken the "abomination" term, and totally twisted its true meaning as stated in the story. When it is used in the Bible as one of the men in the movie who was interviewed, states that it was supposed to be used so that people at the time would follow the code to become more holy. These were codes, and were not meant to be taken to full worship. Americans have corrupted the meaning of the Bible in this sense and it will be had for them to change heir minds on this topic now that this mentality has been around for many years now.

user-719-299615 This film was released in 2007 as a documentary basically on what the Bible has to say on homosexuality. The documentary focuses on a handful of individuals and their families and talks over what their religious background is and what it was like for the individual to "come out of the closet" and face their family in a different way. The film also featured segments from speeches by political leaders or from political cartoons back in the day that opposed GBLT people and excluded them from society. This film was quite interesting since I knew about how "the bible says" GBLT is wrong and how those people should be looked down upon and excluded from society. What I did not know prior to watching this film was how intensified it was in the 80's and 90's. The film gave me valuable insight on how people fired at the GBLT people and practically pushed them out of society. With different individuals from different backgrounds, it was interesting to see how they all viewed their sexual orientation before and after coming out to their parents. One thing that all individuals and families had in common was that they were religious in one way or another and that they were all unsure about whether they should come out or not because of how they have been taught about homosexuality in church or other religious places. After watching this documentary, I learned how inaccurate it was to directly quote the bible for saying LGBT is a sin or those who are LGBT should be excluded from society. The film gave me insight on how those who are excluding the LGBT people may actually be at a worse standing point compared to those who are actually LGBT since they are going against Gods unconditional love. Not loving everybody for who they are is considered sinful and therefore you are not being a faithful follower of what God has to say. I also learned how many people misquote things by disregarding the contextual aspect of it. One Bible quote says "You shall note lie with a man as with a woman; it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). People misunderstand the meaning of abomination and defines it as "sent to hell" or "go to hell". Abomination in a general sense means ritually unclean or not customary. This film told me not only on the religious level but also in a societal level how quotes are so misused and that we must be aware of what we say. Overall, this film was really interesting for me to watch and learn. It gave me a more full understand of what the Bible has to say about LGBT and how those who are religious, must over come their fears and face the world, regardless of what the consequence may be. I would recommend this film to those who want to know "the truth" behind what the Bible has to say or for those who are just simply wondering what people are referencing to in the Bible.

darthmalvor This documentary was pointed out to me on you tube, and as always I went into it holding no bias; but to see if maybe it could teach me something. Instead I found stories about homosexuals that really have no place and did not teach anything, let alone tell the whole truth. Then they attempt to show how scripture is misinterpreted by placing their own interpretation of the scripture that is completely false. When referring to the scripture of Sodom and Gomorrah they make the claim that the men wanted to lay with the angels to dominate them, not for pleasure, in other words, God did not destroy them because they are Gay. Yet clearly that is wrong and you can tell this by Lot's reaction to the query of the men, Gen 19:8 "Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes:" Lot offered his daughters which was not a good thing, but he was obviously trying to do the lesser of two evils. Why offer the daughters if it was only for domination? But it was for the purpose of pleasure, they were homosexuals, you can also find a verse against Homosexuals, Rom 1:27 "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet." I could continue to pick it apart like animation of them talking to the Christian, he is against science or expresses a dislike of it, yet I as a Christian love science and see how it proves God's existence. Not to mention the animation tried to explain away Homosexuals natural birth in a illegitimate way. Not all families have multiple children and yet they have a homosexual child, not to mention they ignored lesbians and attempted to use animals. I am sorry but if you are going to go with the bible then you have to be accepting of God which means we are divine above animals as Gen 1:28 says. If an animal kills is it murder? If an animal mates with multiple females is it cheating? Is an animals life equal to yours? I hope you did not say yes to any of these. Anyhow I could not go on with the stacks of discrepancies, but I found this video a waste of time and just Homosexual propaganda attempting to conform to the bible as an attempt to get the Christian and God's accountability off their back. Stick to the method of denouncing God, not attempting to use the Christians grounds for approval. I understand its hard to find acceptance, but its because your lifestyle is crude and wrong. And really for the sake of argument that it is not a choice, we can go outside of the bible. Such as how evolution would not condone the Homosexual because it would not purposefully produce a gene that could not reproduce with mate of choice, therefore making the Homosexual a defection in the human genome or a choice. The truth is you cannot your behavior is not accepted in anyway and really you are trying to go the right way by looking toward God, but do not try to defile him, instead understand his righteousness and join it. Let go of your wicked ways, live for God.
