| Is homosexuality a problem in the Caribbean? Or is the real issue homophobia? Is the fight with the homosexual or is that Caribbean people need to adjust their fear and reaction to what is now acceptable in most other regions? Film maker Kareem Mortimer of the Bahamas addresses this issue in his film ""Children of God"". Does the act of homosexuality Justify feelings of anger and the violence actions toward homosexual on a moral ground?

| The problem is homosexuality. People are dubbed homophobics because homosexuality is given the wholesale endorsement by the news media. Look at what happening these days, to opposed homosexuality has become the sin rather than the homosexuality itself. Homosexuality is socially destructive and morally wrong to the law of God. I don't think it need to be accepted in the caribbean and if violence is the cure lets cure it.

I totally agree with you slick. I think there should be a law passed criminalizing homosexual acts. What's the difference between a homo and a murderer? Both acts are sin against God. The whole world is fast heading towards destruction. People, we don't have to accept this evil.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. - Joshua 24: 15

| I live in a world where 2 people can hardly find common ground- A world that has been in a state of constant violent conflict for as long as I can remember. And amidst this, 2 people are able to find love, and love each other- why should it matter if they are of the same sex? What is this evil that they have committed which warrants any form of violence be directed to them? Does their act awaken some level of insecurity among us heterosexuals? Are those of you who feel offended and insight violence, have no confidence in who you are, and the example to you set? Are we not strong enough or capable enough to raise our children to accept our sexual or relational norms? What really is our fear in relation to homosexuality?

I fully agree with. Homosexuality should be a crime...and while we are at it so should adultery. Anyone having sex outside of marriage should be punished. One thing I remember from the bible is " he who is without sin, let him cast the first stone" . People like to judge, and cast stones as if they live their lives according to God. Sin is Sin and it is up to God to judge. As for advocating violence.... pointless....violence is only an outlet for your hate. Even the devil can preach the words of God, after all Satan was an angel. I leave judging to my God but in the meantime I am not filling myself with hate...though i must admit i have to conscientiously working at liking people.I love dogs though.

It has always amazed me how the masses find refuge in the words of the Bible at their convenience, only to support their beliefs and way of life. Interestingly enough, the Bible states quite a few things as sins as well as the repercussions or punishments that should be handed out for such behavior. Hey Slick, I hope you make your wife/woman stay in the outhouse when she is seeing her period, because the Bible makes it clear that all else is unacceptable.
Now that we have established that, what we need to do is take into account other denominations. Islam for example, are we saying that it is okay for them to sentence a woman to death for being adulterous?
Obviously this is a delicate issue but it is amazing at the resolution that my fellow bloggers have found to be acceptable. The problem of homophobia has much deeper implications that just the abhorrence of homosexuals. It has been proven that quite a few of YOU are actually fostering those feelings deep inside for quite a while and there is a constant battle between your two selves to suppress that which is deemed unacceptable. Once one is secure in their sexuality, I can't imagine why we can't co-exist without resorting to violence or isolation.

| Personally, I am not promoting violence towards fargs. Yes its true that God is the ultimate judge, that does not mean that when someone is doing something contrary to the instructions of God, we shouldn't correct such a person. I agree that we should be able to co-exist, but not to the point if giving fagots "rights" to commit sin. While we're at it, we might as well give "rights" to adulterers, fornicators, murderers et al. What changed the game was homos fighting for "rights" to commit SIN. BTW Aque, this is what you should realize with regards to your eg. of a woman with period, we live in the time of grace. Certain laws that apply during the time of the law does not apply now. - John 1: 17.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. - Joshua 24: 15

There is one law propose by Jesus himself in this time of grace that you so conveniently quoted- the one is "Love your neighbor as you love yourself"! But beyond that this is really not a biblical discussion and the bible isn't the governance by which many people live.
What gets me is how easily we blame homosexuality for world circumstance. How do you say homosexuals are worse than an adulterer?

| I know that this reponse would meet with quite a lot of dissention but I will reply anyway. It appears that the more intellectualized we become then the farther or deeper away we want to push issues of morality. As far as I am concerned truth is not relative. Based on my convictions homosexuality is wrong and people who share similar sentiments should be allowed to voice their positions without being deemed as harbouring homosexual feelings. We live in a society which is characterised by difference and we should be able to co-exist without reigning violence on those who are different, including the homosexuals. Still, legalising and accepting homosexuality and other immoral activites ultimately will lead to societal suicide. Chaotyeh, just how is love defined? Surely, that's a corruption of the word.

| Whats is the measuring stick to moral values, who holds it and who decides where other fall short? Is the homosexual behavior actually worse that than that of an adulterer? Why can't homosexual do what they do without some so called heterosexual getting violently offensive?
