Indeed, issues of the Bible are difficult ones these days. This is because so many people have so many contributions to make. This could be quite overwhelming sometimes!

I've come across many books that questioned the veracity of Bible stories and principles. However, this is the first I've seen that is written in verse. Plus, the title is catchy. I'd like to read what the author has to say about homosexual oppression.

This is definitely not a book for me. I find the title and it's message a bit discouraging. So I will pass. Congrats on Botd.

Human beings always look for excuses and convenience that suit them. They forsook God's ordinance and law. Blaming the Christian faith for hatred on homosexual is wrong. I am not interested to read this book. Thanks for your review.

"Yes, I can agree that people will hide behind their beliefs. But to claim only Christians do that, it is not true."

That statement is spot on. Indeed, the title reflects the truth, then violence and hate crime are merely the symptoms of humanity, not God.

The author's claim that violence and crime stem from the Bible is enough to tell me the depth of research took in writing this book. Apparently written at face value and out of the author's own biasness. Not my type of read.

There's always a conflict of interest between gays and Christianity. I hope dome day the curve will flatten.

LGBTQ issues are extremely relevant ones. I would not be evaluate the poems in context of the Bible as I am not a Christian. I do agree with your observation about monotheist religions and firmly believe that each religion must be open to investigation and discussion about any issues that propagate biases. I would love reading this book.

I agree that the message of this work sounds wonderful, but perhaps the way the author brings that message could be improved. Perhaps he should have focused a little on other beliefs as well? Thanks for this insightful review!
Happy reading! :techie-studyingbrown:

I agree with your sentinment reagarding violence coming from the Bible. It just sounds like an excuse when people should be accountable for their own actions.
