Many of those who are so quick to accuse others of “phobia’s” are overlooking their own obvious “phobia”. They would like to think that others have unwarranted phobia’s but that they themselves are free of any irrational fears. A good example would be those who point a finger at Christian’s whose comprehension of what the Bible says about gays causes them to yell, “homophobia”! They know that the Bible says, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) And, “…the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly…” (Romans 1:27) which God calls “vile affections” (verse 26). There is no doubt as to what the Bible has to say about homosexuality. This causes the performers and promoters of this “lifestyle” to show their disdain for the Bible.
Example: the following is a letter written several years ago by an employee of the television station ABC in response to a complaint regarding programming which included homosexuality.
“How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and read the Declaration of Independence (what our nation is built on) where it says “All Men are Created Equal” – and try treating them that way for a change!? Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic book of stories as your crutch for your existence.”
Although this employee was fired and ABC then made a more “politically correct” response to the complainant; this attitude is common among a very vocal minority of people. This is none other than fear of the Bible, or “Biblephobia”.
