"Adultery, promiscuity, elective abortion, and out-of-wedlock births are but some of the bitter fruits that grow out of the immorality sanctioned by the sexual revolution"
----D. Todd Christofferson October 2020 LDS General Conference
I was talking to some mormons about this, whether it is a good idea to call out-of-wedlock births bitter fruits and the overall response is that yes, they are all bitter fruits because the statistics say that children from single parents are no good.
This troubles me because when you use statistics, you are putting a lot of people, a lot of good people (single mothers, single fathers, homosexual men and so on) in the same group and labelling them as defective.
Couldn’t statistics be used to label other groups as well.
For example, I was talking to a person who was against homosexuals. His reason is that the rate of suicide with homosexuals is high, therefore, homosexuality is not a good thing.
Are you aware of any other statistics that labels people? Perhaps, statistics that allows for gender discrimination, sexual discrimination, racial discrimination?
Gender discrimination, sexual discrimination, racial discrimination is not only something that Christians believe. Besides not all Christians feel the same way. I personally believe being gay is a sin, because it goes against nature. If God intended gay relationships in His design He would of at least said something about that, He would of created women and men as hermaphrodites, etc. If everyone was gay the human race would become extinct, rapidly I hate the sin not the sinner, a gay person can confess their sins juts as thief, murderer, envious person, etc. The world is getting worse and starting to follow the devils guidelines instead of Gods. The bible says things about most of what i have said. Men wanted to rape the angels in Sodom, if gay people went to heaven, they would be attracted to the angels. This causes many problems in heaven, and for God Himself.
When someone goes to heaven, they become sinless like the angels and adopt a heavenly mentality and state. Gay people do none of these things.
