rahim ... In the name of God, the
compassionate One, the One who cares. Most religions are very
clear
on their stance on homosexuality, especially the three monotheistic
ones, yet we see an increasing global divide in the opinions regarding
the subject, and it seems that most of the condemnation arises from
religious beliefs. This paper looks at the
psychological and anatomical
aspects of sexual orientation and attempts to put forward the idea of
revisiting our religious perceptions of homosexuality, to rethink and
evaluate our attitudes towards the homosexual individuals of our
societies.
With the
age old debate of whether homosexuality is “born or made”,
one thing that can be stated as a fact is that one has little power in
choosing their sexual orientation. This alone makes it imperative for
the religious advocates to re
-
visit the idea of homosex
uality, as stated in
their religion, in order to ensure they are themselves not shunning
rightful members of their religious societies. This in no way means
challenging God’s Will, but challenging the human perception of The
Word of God. |
