Doggie Love

The link below, from a local Florida newspaper describes an arrest, prosecution, and judgment against a young man involved in bestiality.

Now I link this for one reason and that reason is the intuitive revulsion and disgust that this story works in most people who read it. People read this kind of thing and they think, “That is clearly beyond the pale. That person is sick. How utterly gross.”

And that is the response they should have!

Now keep in mind that same intuitive revulsion and disgust used to be the response of the average American 50 short years ago when reading a similar story about some guy involved in homosexuality. Now however, as we know, homosexuality is ‘just another lifestyle that is as normal as anything else.’ As it stands currently it is the person who responds to homosexuality the way that we respond to the bestiality as recorded in the link above who are seen as the abnormal ones.

What changed?

And what makes us think that in another 50 years or less (I think less) people who are coitally attached to their pet of choice will be seen a being perfectly normal while those who are repulsed by such behavior will be seen as the ones with a problem?

Homosexuality remains every bit as disgusting as some guy doing his doggie, and I don’t care how many courts in America say it is a perfectly acceptable form for familial organization or how much the media (see Anna Quindlend’s recent piece that ran in Newsweek) and educational establishments continue to brainwash us on its legitimacy.

Certainly we must be concerned for the soul of homosexuals, just as we must be concerned for the souls of those who like farm animals, but the way for showing concern for their souls is by continuing to reveal the pig behind the lipstick (that lifestyle can be dressed up all one likes but it remains highly destructive and more importantly violates God’s Law) and by holding out to them both the wrath and love of God — wrath against those who refuse to repent and love for those who will repent and flee to Jesus.
