What is it about homosexuality?

[Star]

Pastor Bert Farias, founder of Holy Fire Ministries, recently posted a hateful tirade against homosexuality on Charisma Magazine. Here are the highlights:

- Homosexuals choose the demonic practice, which results in possession
- These "putrid-smelling" demons can drive pigs to suicide
- It's so bad, not even other demons want to be around them
- Our society is in "the last stages of decay"
- There will be “destructive physical, emotional, and spiritual consequences�
- But homosexuality is as "old as the devil himself"
- And he doesn't want homosexuals to be mad because he's trying to help

What is it about homosexuality (as opposed to other sins) that draws such a disproportionate amount of criticism from some Christians?

Case in point, this magazine. Homosexuality appears to be their main complaint about our society. But homosexuality wasn't specifically mentioned in the Ten Commandments or by Jesus, so why not spew the same venom at adulterers, liars, thieves, and false witnesses? Or those who covet, dishonor their parents, follow other gods, are uncharitable to the poor, don't observe the Sabbath, or anyone else perceived as unrighteous?

Maybe, deep down, Christianity knows that homosexuality isn't bad, but it's something they can't control so they are trying to eliminate it. Though it's a stupid concept because people tend to may more attention to what is bad than what's wrong.
