spongebob
normally i don't like to write anything "serious" in my blogs just because i think it's a poor way of communicating. but i would like to take this time to write about issues circulating spongebob and dr. james dobson from focus on the family. i guess a lot of (media) people lashed out in anger after hearing that dr. dobson made a comment about spongebob squarepants being gay. well, we received a newsletter from dr. dobson which clarified what he really said. from what i read, spongebob, as well as other cartoon icons of today, had been used on a website to promote gay awareness and rights. he then went on to explain that he had never said spongebob was gay, but that he was concerned that cartoons were being used to promote these things. also, he commented on the kind of language they are using in the classroom about homosexuality and how tolerant the education system has become.
as i read about this issue and other similar ones in the media, i am truly saddened at the state of the world. in our quest for peace and tolerance, we have alienated minority groups and have made even more divisions, which further perpetuates the miscommunication, anger, and hatred.
furthermore, i am disappointed and ashamed at how the christian community has participated in these issues. instead of pointing the world to the Truth and to the real Source of peace, i have heard about violence and hate crimes against gays and i am shocked that so-called christians would actually do this in the name of God. it appears that some "christians" have missed the point entirely. it makes it even harder for us to reach the gay community with the love of Christ, which really should be our aim, rather than continuing to tell them that they're wrong and doomed to hell. there must be a balance between standing up for the Truth and showing love (which is not necessarily tolerance) towards people who do not know it.
as a christian, i cannot explain or excuse the acts that my fellow brothers and sisters have said or done in hatred towards the gay community. but i can repent on their behalf and ask for forgiveness. we are utterly lost and despaired without Christ and it is my hope that we would seek to fix our eyes on Him. i believe that if Jesus were walking on the earth today, the exact people He would be spending His time with are the ones that we as christians have alienated and judged. may we strive to live like Jesus.
