Holsinger Harpooned For Opposing Homosexuality: America’s Moral Slide (And GOD’S Judgment) Continues

July 12, 2007 by Shane Kastler.

President Bush has nominated James Holsinger, a Kentucky cardiologist, to be the next Surgeon General of the United States. During his senate hearings on Thursday, Ted Kennedy and his fellow Liberals attacked Holsinger over views he expressed in a 1991 paper, concerning homosexuality. In the paper titled: “Pathophysiology of Male Homosexuality”, which Holsinger wrote for his church (United Methodist), he describes homosexuality as being non-normative and potentially unhealthy behavior. At the time, the United Methodists were studying homosexuality to determine what the church’s stance should be. (Perhaps they should’ve consulted the Bible?) But, be that as it may, Holsinger simply pointed out, from a medical perspective, the dangers of homosexuality. The facts are what they are. Homosexuals stand a far greater risk of contracting numerous sexually transmitted diseases, and one would have to be dramatically detached from reality to not see the obvious unnaturalness of homosexual behavior. Morality aside…from a purely scientific perspective, the fact is homosexual activity destroys the human body. I’ll warn you that Holsinger’s paper was fairly descriptive in discussing some of homosexuality’s practices, but you can read the paper by clicking here.

His basic conclusion is that male homosexual behavior (i.e., sodomy) attempts to merge two different human systems (reproductive and digestive) that simply aren’t meant to go together. He graphically (and scientifically) points out what all sane people already know. The male and female reproductive organs are designed compatibly, and when a male and a male try to do what they were designed to do with a female, serious injuries may occur. Among those are increased risk for: “anal/rectal cancer, rupture of the rectumabrasive, trauma causing fissures, contusions, thrombosed hemorrhoids, lacerations with bleeding, pain, and psychic trauma.” (pg. 4-8 of Holsinger’s paper) Some of these words may be over our heads…but I think his point is clear and accurate.

Furthermore, nature testifies to the compatibility of male-female relations by the simple fact of procreation. Heterosexuals have the potential of producing offspring. Homosexuals are, have always been, and will always be incapable of reproduction. Vital anatomical parts…and vital reproductive “components” (egg & sperm) are missing in the homosexual equation. Holsinger points out in his paper that even the “plumbing industry” recognizes these compatibility issues by describing pipe fittings as either “male” or “female” fittings depending upon their function. If you try to force two male fittings together…destruction will result. And so it is with humans.

Ironically, Holsinger is being accused of using science for his own “religious purposes.” Which is EXACTLY what the homosexual community, the medical community, and some of their warped spokesmen like Ted Kennedy are doing. They are collectively rejecting biological fact, clinical research, natural evidence, and plain common sense, in order to further a socio-political agenda, which is the forced acceptance of homosexuality in our society. And ultimately, the homosexuals who so fiercely oppose Holsinger, will pay the price with their health, life, and soul.

Sadly, the depraved mindset that has driven them to engage in such odd behavior has also infected the thinking and the judgment of our Nation’s medical, educational, and legislative communities. Kennedy called Holsinger’s paper a “misuse of science.” Never mind the fact that Ted Kennedy has, time and again, forfeited the right to be considered a credible opinion on any matter….what Kennedy accuses Holsinger of is exactly what Kennedy and Company are doing. ABC News reports: “Professor Eli Coleman, Director of the Program in Human Sexuality at the University of Minnesota Medical School said ‘I can’t imagine that any scientific journal would be able to publish this material because of its very narrow views of homosexuality,’ he said. In fact, if one of his students handed the paper in, Coleman would give it a failing grade. ‘I find it rather outdated in terms of its scientific knowledge and also narrow in its view of homosexuality. It concerns me because I think our public policy really should be based upon best available science.” (reported on ABC news 6/7/07) 

Did you catch the double standard? Science should reject this paper because of its ‘view’ (in other words: opinion) of homosexuality. Isn’t science supposed to be objective? I thought ‘views’ were not allowed in science. At least that’s what scientists say when the debate is over evolution vs. creationism. Opinions aren’t supposed to matter, only the facts….unless it’s homosexuality…then the facts can be ignored if you don’t have the politically correct ‘view.’  Shocking hypocrisy, isn’t it?

HELLO? Is anyone in America listening to what’s going on here? Holsinger points out the obvious and is railroaded, tarred and feathered, and browbeaten into submission by the “scientific community.” Then Holsinger is accused of using science to push an agenda? A more blatant case of the “pot calling the kettle black” you will never find.

Alright, enough about the asinine left wing attacks, let me take a moment to drag that annoying U.S. Constitution into the equation. Aren’t Ted Kennedy and his liberal cronies the ones who are ALWAYS forcing the “separation of church and state” upon Americans? If so…then why is Holsinger being attacked for something he said in a paper….WRITTEN FOR HIS CHURCH! Make no mistake, the “separation of church and state” is a myth never found in the Constitution, but the Constitution DOES strictly forbid any religious test be administered for one to serve in office. “No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” (Article 6) And this strict adherence MUST be held to by all SENATORS (including one’s named Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, & Edwards) Article 6 of the Constitution further states: “The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution.” In other words, Senators like Ted Kennedy are “bound by oath” to do what they frequently (and purposely) refuse to do…stick to the Constitutional requirements for legislative practice.

By citing a religious paper, Holsinger’s opponents are clearly trying to harpoon his nomination because of something he wrote at the request of his church. Furthermore, Holsinger’s paper really made no moral judgments on homosexuality anyway…he citied scientic facts, backed up by obvious observations, and medical studies published in what used to be, reputable medical journals. The only “hearings” that should be going on right now on Capitol Hill are hearings to expel Ted Kennedy (Article 1, Section 5 states Senators can be expelled with a 2/3 majority vote) and any other Senator who disregards the public’s safety and ignores the Constitution by forcing depraved ideology upon the American masses. But I digress.

Tragically, the Holsinger hearings are a sign of the bizarre times in which we live. The radical homosexual agenda has now successfully hijacked America’s educational system, political system, mass media, and even medical community. That’s scary because public safety now bows the knee to political correctness. Homosexuals, whose health could benefit from reports like Holsinger’s refuse to listen…and are being catered to by Congress and society at large, for the sake of their sinful pleasures. How can so many people, defy common sense, nature, and medical fact by embracing homosexual behavior as normative? The Bible gives the answer:

“For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever . Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.” Romans 1:25-28 (NASB)

Millions in our country have been given over to a depraved mind, and the implications are breathtaking. Paul tells us that it is possible for a person to become so depraved in their behavior….that it actually affects their thinking processes, reasoning skills, and common sense. And once their natural intellectual faculties are so desperately flawed…further strange behavior ensues. The mind given over to depravity begins to do things like oppose doctors who warn them of the dangerous effects of their sin. And employ doctors who will tell them their sin is completely natural. The depraved mind ignores studies that reveal the unhealthy effects of perversion and employ “scientists” to do studies that will affirm their perversion. The depraved mind will label any Christian as a bigot, who lovingly confronts their sin with Biblical truth and shares an offer of salvation in Christ.  And instead hire “preachers” who will “tickle their ears” and encourage their depraved lifestyle (see 2 Timothy 4:3) The depraved mind will reject the natural instincts of desire for the opposite sex…and will sodomize itself into an early grave. Claiming unto the end that the disease by which they are dying is merely a tragic nemesis to society, rather than the obvious judgment of God upon the sinful behavior. The disease is something to throw tax dollars at seeking a temporal “cure” rather than Divine judgment, calling for repentance.

Our society is in SERIOUS trouble…the Holsinger hearing only confirms that sad and horrific reality. God’s judgment is upon us and it shall get worse. When common sense is so violently opposed…then the Nation is ultimately doomed. Christians must pray for the people of our country. Many are given over to their depravity, and are unwilling to hear the truth. Only God can change their hardened hearts…and He is under no obligation to do so. America has rejected God for so long….that He is handing us over to what we’ve freely chosen. Your support of politicians who embrace sin will indict you as an accomplice to Society’s crime. Your silence on these types of issues will indict you as a complacent bystander, who witnesses America’s crumbling and says nothing to prevent it. Your acceptance of homosexuality as normative will give evidence that your standards, and even your mind, is being more influenced by the wicked culture than it is a Righteous God. Holsinger’s nomination is probably as good as sunk. But we’ve lost much more than a good doctor. We’ve lost our moral equilibrium. We’ve lost our sense of right and wrong. And ultimately we’ve lost our minds. “And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind.” BEHOLD!….Romans 1.…being lived out before your very eyes….in the once hallowed halls… of the United States Capitol.
