Fantastic!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

For the Bible Tells Me So is a documentary by Daniel G. Karslake about the conflicts in America caused by various interpretations of what the Bible says about homosexuality. I personally really enjoyed watching this film, not only was it educational but also interesting to watch. I used to have a vague idea of the issues brought up about same-sex sexuality due to different views of what the Bible says, but through watching this film I gained a much better understanding. I also got a chance to hear multiple perspectives on the topic, even though some were quite shocking. I found it especially interesting how gender inequality was brought up multiple times in the film: "The thing that frightens men about homosexuality is that they think about a man allowing himself to be treated like a woman and there's nothing worse, nothing so flying in the face of patriarchy and for a privileged man, privileged by being male rather than female to allow himself to be treated like a female. Who would want that?" and "It is the hatred of women that is the fuel of this whole thing." I believe the message of this movie needs to spread to more people and make others more accepting. This film was so powerful and I highly recommend this documentary to anyone and everyone.

It was enough for me to hear the demented ramblings of such a paragon of virtue like Jimmy Swaggart, to understand the whole evangelical, religious right. A dash of hard core nationalism and frantic flag waving, a little song, a little dance, easy answers to some of the hardest questions, and when you mix it all up- evangelical Christianity. These preachers calmly dismiss most of compassionate teachings of Jesus Christ, and dig into the Old Testament( by the way, the other people's holy book)randomly. Pick and choose few rules, mostly concerning the gay people, and there it is. They are the righteous, and we are sinners. It must be great to be that simple, to blindly follow the religious music man, and to be stunned when they fail to live up to their so high standards. My religion is much more complex, and it's a life long struggle to do good and be a better person. Good and very useful documentary.

I watched this on Netflix and the information on there says "This Documentary examines the ways in which conservative Christian groups have used - and sometimes exploited - scripture to deny human rights".Yet 95%-98% of the movie is strictly about Homosexuals? Really I kept waiting for them to start talking about something else, one of the many other things the Church pushes against such as abortion, etc.Shouldn't the description be more obvious in that it's not about all human rights, but just homosexuality?So if your hoping to see/hear more than just about one subject, your sadly out of luck.

This documentary was pointed out to me on you tube, and as always I went into it holding no bias; but to see if maybe it could teach me something. Instead I found stories about homosexuals that really have no place and did not teach anything, let alone tell the whole truth. Then they attempt to show how scripture is misinterpreted by placing their own interpretation of the scripture that is completely false. When referring to the scripture of Sodom and Gomorrah they make the claim that the men wanted to lay with the angels to dominate them, not for pleasure, in other words, God did not destroy them because they are Gay. Yet clearly that is wrong and you can tell this by Lot's reaction to the query of the men, Gen 19:8 "Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes:" Lot offered his daughters which was not a good thing, but he was obviously trying to do the lesser of two evils. Why offer the daughters if it was only for domination? But it was for the purpose of pleasure, they were homosexuals, you can also find a verse against Homosexuals, Rom 1:27 "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet." I could continue to pick it apart like animation of them talking to the Christian, he is against science or expresses a dislike of it, yet I as a Christian love science and see how it proves God's existence. Not to mention the animation tried to explain away Homosexuals natural birth in a illegitimate way. Not all families have multiple children and yet they have a homosexual child, not to mention they ignored lesbians and attempted to use animals. I am sorry but if you are going to go with the bible then you have to be accepting of God which means we are divine above animals as Gen 1:28 says. If an animal kills is it murder? If an animal mates with multiple females is it cheating? Is an animals life equal to yours? I hope you did not say yes to any of these. Anyhow I could not go on with the stacks of discrepancies, but I found this video a waste of time and just Homosexual propaganda attempting to conform to the bible as an attempt to get the Christian and God's accountability off their back. Stick to the method of denouncing God, not attempting to use the Christians grounds for approval. I understand its hard to find acceptance, but its because your lifestyle is crude and wrong. And really for the sake of argument that it is not a choice, we can go outside of the bible. Such as how evolution would not condone the Homosexual because it would not purposefully produce a gene that could not reproduce with mate of choice, therefore making the Homosexual a defection in the human genome or a choice. The truth is you cannot your behavior is not accepted in anyway and really you are trying to go the right way by looking toward God, but do not try to defile him, instead understand his righteousness and join it. Let go of your wicked ways, live for God.
