Hello,
My name is Bob Smith and I live in Atlanta.
My interest in Soulforce was sparked by an article written by Jeff Lutes in the Journal Constition newspaper today.
It made me want to cheer his honesty. We do need to stand up to the religious forces that continue to blame the GLBT community for all marital and relationship problems. Additionally, Jeff is correct in stating that we also need to point to untruths and what the christian right interests are in the furthering of this agenda.
The constant focus by the Religious Right on the GLBT community is related to furthering a political agenda. It has no basis in either religious or scientific studies.
There is an inference by the "christian" community that they have a greater relationship with the diety than others of us who are also christian. It is difficult to believe that this group could be elevated to a higher level and have greater insight than other religions. There is simply no basis to believe any religious group is more qualified to speak and interpret what all religious agenda should be.
Hopefully, Soulforce will continue to be a part of an ongoing drive that will speak out against a time worn political agenda and direct a focus toward truth and honesty.
