More On Phil Robertson

I have been following the Phil Robertson controversy with great interest. Modern, Christian liberals are lying to themselves; the Bible views homosexual activity as sin--where and as Phil alluded to in the Bible. The majority of people from a majority of the world's great faiths view homosexuality as sin or mental illness. That is how I regard it, deep down. Does this make me a hater and hateful of GLBTs in all my homophobic worldview? I deny that I am wrong or prejudiced against them. My views are traditional and modern at the same time, and the belief if morally grounded and it is the right stance to take. My outreach to the GLBT community is couched in wisdom and love, and the views espoused below are for the good of the entire community for years to come, as we struggle to find new ways to live, and justify how we live.

Is the gay life style sick, evil, twisted, corrupting and unnatural? The traditionalists for 100,000 years said yes. The Western liberals now say no, and they are about to impose this view on the whole American society. Since the 1960s we assert that GLBT activity is a human rights crisis, that the gay life style is healthy, wholesome, energizing, uplifting, natural and blessed by God.

The hard-shell traditional view is that homosexual activity is perversion and sinful.

The secular humanist view today is that such activity requires constitutional protection against discrimination of any type. These progressives view any conservative characterization of the gay lifestyle as bigoted, evil, barbaric, backwards and intolerable. Advocates of traditional morality are to be aggressively attacked, silenced, boycotted and even prosecuted. Their freedom of morality, freedom of religion and freedom of speech are not to be countenanced. The silent majority must rise up and forestall this sinister campaign against them and their way of life.

The progressive community regards most any GLBT lifestyle as healthy, admirable, natural, moral, legal and spiritually good. Same-sex partners should be able to marry and adopt children, end of story.

Not so fast. This totalitarian, hateful power grab and the rewriting of mass culture underway by progressives, secularists, the GLBT and politically correct thought police reject any harborage for the conservative point of view. Here again, for 70 years, the Left has allowed the strident minorities to bully, harangue and dominate the silent majority that do not agree with them.

I feel that liberty is our moral good, and that we do not want the majority to tyrannize the minority or the GLBT minority to bully the heterosexual majority. It is time for the straight community to rear up, and fight back. That is where my Mavellonialist philosophy comes in.

I believe that the moderate way is the morally good criterion, and that a sturdy conservative ideology, small government and free market economy are the best underpinnings for erecting the platform upon which to build that society infused with a moderate tone and set of policies.

The moderate compromise between the GLBT militants on the Left and the conservative Christians on the right regarding the gay lifestyle is one that I laid out about 6 years ago in my book: Volume 2, Notes Towards a New Age. The book is available online: https:// www.smashwords.com/books/view/224558.

In Section 67, on Page 601, I lay out the ethics of living the GLBT lifestyle in the 21st century in a way that allows them to live free, happy, non-harassed lives, not regarded as sick or perverted, while maintaining and preserving as natural, acceptable and not to be altered the heterosexual sex practices enjoyed by the majority of the population.

I wish to point out that my books have typos that have not been all corrected because I did all this writing and editing with my wife, and have no army of editors to fine tune what I have written. I wish to point out an important typo under Section 67 that I just saw and wish to correct. Here is the flawed sentence: Page 601: "I will say oral sex between gays in acceptable." The typo is the word in. The sentence should read like this: "I will say oral sex between gays is acceptable." Oral sex between gays and straight men is unacceptable, or between two straight men.

This compromise is an outrider for a deal and resolution that must be forged in the hot culture war raging right now between traditionalists and progressives.

I affirm that the world mostly is and should be ruled by and belong to straights, but that the liberty, happiness and safety of all minorities (read GLBT here) must be protected and safeguarded by all, openly and officially.

God is good. God dislikes extremes, and urges that the moderate way is the way to live. Heterosexual gender opposites are the coming together as individuals in a loving marriage of biological and spiritual entities, the clashing and merging of yin and yang. Each time that a male and a female meet, date, marry and marry; the moderate union, God's way, is honored through the commingling of this couple.

Therefore, heterosexual love is natural, moderate love; this is God's preferred way to live, love and marry. Phil Robertson is mostly but not entirely correct in his view of homosexual activity. The majority that are heterosexual are not to live the homosexual lifestyle, nor allow this outspoken, sometimes hysterical minority to impose their unnatural lifestyle on society. Marriage is between a man and a woman and civil unions are good enough for the GLBT minority, and that is all that God wants them to have.

The GLBT minority are God's children too, so their unnatural sexual acts, sexual relationships and sexual unions must not be engaged in by the heterosexual majority. But, their unnatural activities are natural for them to engage in and enjoy, and God approves of it and them, and wishes for them to be free and condoned in their lifestyle activities. But these extreme, unnatural practices, between yin and yin individuals or yang and yang individuals are fanatical but moral within the bounds of that community. These practices are not to be engaged in by the rest of society, nor are the sexual practices of the rest of society to be engaged in by members of the GLBT community that remain affiliated with and involved in that community. The practices of this community are not to dominate and remake the rest of society, the heterosexual majority.

The two communities are to interact, intermingle and co-work as citizens, but the sexual activities and sexual relationships are to remain separate, apart and clearly delineated.

To quote the old Robin Hood movie: "Allah enjoys wondrous variety." Allah or God enjoys wondrous variety, and God enjoys the GLBT community that De created, and they give back to society in innumerable, unforeseen ways. But let them live and be free and enjoy participating in society with these sexual standards set up. This is my suggested, moderate compromise to the cultural divide between the progressives and the traditionalists.

If members of the GLBT minority wish to take up the heterosexual lifestyle, marry and have children, then they must be faithful to that lifestyle for life. If they cannot, they should openly be who they are, and live as they are meant to live with their own people, and let it go. Where members of this minority prefer same sex sexual relations, same sex dating, same sex relationships and same sex unions, they should stay with their own people and partners for life, and not waver or hesitate. If they are good people and wish to adopt or have children, okay.

Phil Robertson is quoted as identifying being a practicing homosexual as a sin. Yes and no. If the homosexual is unfaithful to his partner, or has many partners, or entices straights to party with him, then he is sinful. If he is monogamous or celibate, he is not sinful.

If a straight man is monogamous or celibate, he is not a sinner in the sexual arena. If he is a slut or dabbles with gay sex for money, thrills or out of boredom, then he is a sinner.
