Archaeologists Uncover Companies' Rainbow Logos From Sodom And Gomorrah
[url=https://babylonbee.com/news/categories/world][[/url]
ISRAELArcheologists excavating in the Jordan Rift Valley have uncovered what they believe are the rainbow logos used by companies to promote Pride Month in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Samples have been sent to the University of Cambridge for further analysis and, if verified, could prove to be one of the most obvious finds in biblical history.
"It's kind of big news that we found the exact locations of Sodom and Gomorrah," Dr. Henrietta Tombs journalist with National Geographic magazine. "But the quality of artifacts we've found also indicate a super perverted society of groomers, which was to be expected."
According to the Israel Antiquities Authority, researchers have unearthed special edition LGBT wheels, casks of Pride Wine, and rainbow-colored pottery vessels that once contained fig cakes. In addition, a slew of nude statues were discovered in Sodom's town square, which experts are calling "remarkably gay."
At publishing time, archaeologists also believe they have found the remains of Zoar, another of the ancient "cities of the plain" of which Sodom and Gomorrah were a part. Unfortunately, the artifacts found are shockingly homophobic.

I had a blast. The fact they put homos to death didnt bother me much. Not my problem. I met with a small group of Christians in Sunday morning rotated between 4 or 5 apartments. It was about 1/3 American, 1/3 Canadian and 1/3 Nepalese. I didnt like the way Miuslims treated women and the Indians Pakkies and Nepalese.

I went there for the adventure and money. I am glad I did. Met some great people. I got a text last week that Asaf, a man I worked with, died last Friday. I remember he invited me to the mosque for prayers. He was a good man from Jordan.

It was a learning experience and the start of my awareness that 95% of the people in world want the same thing and are basically good. I would hate to see America turn Muslim. It is a false religion and very harsh..

After three years I got tired of the desert and went to live in Thailand. What a change that was.

Sounds like a great experience . I have also had my fill of the desert ( El Paso ).

My wife spent a month in Iran as a college student. ( the Shah was still in power then ) . Enjoyed the country and people.

Agreed....95% of the world's people are good...they want the same things. However natural resources are finite ....and people will do whatever they feel necessary to survive. Sincerely expect mass starvation ( which was fairly common in the 17th and 18th centuries ) to return .

Have never been....but would love to go to Austria for a month or so. My favorite nephew still raves about the country .

My brother hss been to Austria and enjoyed it. I have been to England France Ireland Switzerland and Amstradam at various times. I enjoyed it but have no reason to go back. This summer i will be in Virginia and the carolinas for a few months then work a 10 month contract in Alaska. I will return to Playa but think i will go live in Cambodia next..

I didn't realize you live in Playa Del Carmen.

You ever been to Maroma Resort? We spent our honeymoon there. Loved the fresh Pina Coladas and the Cochinita Pibil was amazing. It's been 20 years, but I've always wanted to go back someday. I hope it's still the same.

Hiked the Way of Saint James in northern Spain ( El Camino ) 5 years ago. That was my last trip to Europe. Since my wife is determined never to get vaccinated ....it is very unlikely she will ever get there.

I hope to hike in Portugal and Austria someday....but time is running out .

Returned from Florida last week.....going fly fishing with friends next week on the Crow Indian Reservation ( Fort Smith, Montana )......then hopefully back to Maine in mid July .

Cambodia doesn't interest me . If I was willing to endure another 12 hour flight...would go back to New Zealand .

I researched the Way of St. James and was ready to go last year. Thats the only reason that I would ever go back to Europe. The only places left I havent been to but want to go to are Vietnam, Ecuador, and Panama.

Baylor Grants First Charter to LGBTQ Student Group

April 27th, 2022

Second-year senior Brit LaVergne has been trying to get an LGBTQ student group chartered at Baylor University since her freshman year. She's now the president of Gamma Alpha Upsilon, and its unchartered status has made it difficult or impossible to secure meeting space, to voice concerns to the administration, and to be a presence among other student groups.

Gamma began as the Sexual Identity Forum in 2011, and has tried unsuccessfully to gain a charterand the campus resources that come with thatnearly every year since. So LaVergne was skeptical when the university began exploring the possibility of a chartered groupa newly created group, not Gamma. "I didn't know how much oversight or control Baylor would want to have over the creation of this group or its existence," she said.

But when the administration held listening sessions in fall of 2021, she was pleasantly surprised. The university engaged outspoken activist students who, in LaVergne's words, "want to burn down the building," as well as those who just wanted a safe way to meet other students like them. While the sessions included students representing religious and conservative groups, most agreed that LGBTQ students should have what they need to feel like they belong at Baylor.

Last week, Baylor granted its first charter in history to a LGBTQ-focused student group. The constitution of the new group, called Prism, says its purpose is to extend care and community to LGBTQ students, to represent their interests with the university administration, and pay for events or guest speakers using students activity funds.

It's not a full-throated affirmation of queer identity. The university's Bible-based statement on human sexuality still stands, upholding sexual "purity in singleness and fidelity in marriage between a man and a woman." But, according to those who have been advocating for an official LGBTQ organization for most of their college careers, it's not nothing.

"Right now, we're kind of just celebrating what people would call baby steps," said Prism copresident Lor Duncan, a senior. "You wouldn't expect an infant to run a marathon, you would celebrate the first few steps it did take."

To call a 175-year-old institution an infant is no small statement, but Baylor, like some other religious colleges and universities, has for decades intentionally avoided progress toward LGBTQ inclusion. A gay student at Truett Seminary lost his scholarship in 2004, the same year the student paper, the Baylor Lariat, was reprimanded for editorializing in support of marriage equality. In 2015, the university did drop language characterizing "homosexual acts" as "misuses of God's gift" from its student code of conduct, but the current code still states that only sex within heterosexual marriage is permissible.

As Duncan and the other student leaders crafted the constitution for Prism this spring, they had to keep in mind the context in which they were working: the university's policy handbook explicitly states that "Baylor students will not participate in advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching." (The handbook lists resources for students "struggling with these issues.")

Prism must abide by those prohibitions and steer clear of publicly advocating for changes to the university's stance on human sexuality, but the charter itself is the result of a decade of advocacy. Frustration over the experience of queer life at Baylor escalated in the summer of 2020 when students began sharing their experiences of discrimination via anonymous Instagram accounts, said LaVergne. Then, in March 2021, three current and former Baylor students joined a class action lawsuit alleging that Baylor's religious exemption from Title IX, a federal education law prohibiting sex-based discrimination, was harming LGBTQ students.

With pressure mounting, the board of regentswhich the administration had begun consulting in 2018 about how it might create a more welcoming environment for LGBTQ studentsreaffirmed the university's statement on human sexuality in a May 2021 resolution, while directing President Linda Livingstone and her administration to explore the possibility of a chartered group for LGBTQ students. In addition to chastity, the resolution calls upon another value: "the dignity and worth of all." (In response to requests for comment from Livingstone for this story, Jason Cook, Baylor's vice president for marketing and communications and chief marketing officer, sent a statement: "Baylor's leadership has been in discussions about demonstrating how to love and care of LGBTQ+ students as an expression of its Christian faith since the summer of 2018.")

Support and inclusion of LGBTQ students on college campuses across the country has steadily grown over the past fifty years. The first student center devoted to LGBTQ students opened at the University of Michigan in 1971, and today such support centers can be found on 62 percent of college campuses nationwide. In 2016, the Obama administration interpreted Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex on college campuses, as protecting transgender students, but the Trump administration punted the issue to states and localities. The Biden administration has issued guidelines that say sexual orientation and gender identity are protected under Title IX. But many Christian colleges and universities including Dallas Baptist University, East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor an hour north of Austin, and Hardin-Simmons University in Abilenehave been granted religious exemptions from Title IX, allowing them to restrict resources and opportunities based on their "controlling organization's religious tenets."

Baylor's own Title IX exemption dates back to 1985, when it sought to allow certain male-only scholarships, clubs, and programs, and to be exempt from having to grant disability status to unmarried pregnant women, as the law requires. The school has never had specific exemptions for its LGBTQ policies. (The university says it is in compliance with all Title IX laws.) In 2021, three Baylor students filed administrative Title IX complaints with the federal government, requesting that Baylor be required to grant a charter to an LGBTQ-affirming group, like Gamma Alpha Upsilon. The three students are also named in the class action lawsuit, which aims to end all religious exemptions from Title IX.

The creation and charter of Prism doesn't change the complaints, which remain filed with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. And it doesn't change the fact that Baylor continues to discriminate against LGBTQ students, said Paul Carlos Southwick, director of the Religious Exemption Accountability Project, a nonprofit watchdog and civil litigation group working on behalf of LGBTQ students at schools with religious exemptions to Title IX. "Prism is not enough because it continues to perpetuate the belief that something is wrong with LGBTQ+ relationships and identities," Southwick said.

But students say the resources now available to them are meaningful. Without a charter, LGBTQ groups such as Gamma had not been able to reserve private rooms and had to hold meetings in common areas, said LaVergne. The lack of security left many would-be members feeling exposed on the conservative campus, especially when the group engaged in activism, she said.

The priorities for crafting Prism's constitution and bylaws came directly from the administration's fall listening sessions, Duncan said. Privacy had been among the chief concerns of potential members. Some students are not out to their parents, she explained, and others worry about being outed or harassed by those who join the group for the purpose of outing fellow students. Prism's membership policies include measures to ensure that participation in the group will not be tantamount to coming out publiclysuch as keeping attendance logs and membership rolls from being publicly accessible.

When LaVergne arrived at Baylor in the fall of 2017, she was surprised by how religious the university felt. She'd known, of course, that famously Baptist Baylor took pride in its Christian origins, and she assumed some vestiges of institutional religion would remain. But she also assumed the 20,000-student university was as diverse and pluralistic as any other Tier One research school, especially after fifty years of Title IX regulations. It was and it wasn't, said LaVergne. She knows plenty of students who do not agree with the Baptist General Convention of TexasBaylor's denominational affiliateon gender and sexuality issues. But the school is no Trinity Universitythe San Antonio university that dissolved legal affiliation with the Presbyterian church in 1969or Southern Methodist University, where "Methodist" now takes a backseat to the other adjective in the school's name. At Baylor, LaVergne said, "I didn't realize how deep the Christian sentiments ran."

For a long time, those Christian sentiments have kept LGBTQ students such as LaVergne on the margins. But a different aspect of the Christian mission, caring community, was given weight in Prism's chartering process. "We came into the journey committed to Christian mission, Christian hospitality," said Matt Burchett, senior director of student activities at Baylor and one of the administrators involved in the charter approval process.

Baylor's move to be inclusive of students regardless of identitywithout affirming LGBTQ relationshipsis not unique. As more Americans understand sexuality and gender as more than behaviorswho you have sex withthose calling themselves "side B" Christians have argued that a single or celibate gay or lesbian person, for instance, should be embraced by Christian institutions, including leadership in religious organizations. Other Christian institutions have expressed their stance as "accepting but not affirming," saying that while they would welcome an LGBTQ person or couple to worship in their church or participate in Bible studies, they would not perform a marriage or any other blessing of a gay, lesbian, or queer relationship.

These positions, and now Baylor's needle-threading charter for Prismacknowledging LGBTQ students as an official group but continuing to maintain that God's plan for human sexuality is cisgender, heterosexual marriageare efforts to depolarize a conversation that has left little distinction between personal conviction and dogma, and has led many to feel they must choose between their faith and their identity or relationships. "We want to open conversation around LGBTQ faith and spirituality in a more vibrant way," Burchett said. What that means for Prism could be complicated, he acknowledged. Burchett applauded the students involved for their "incredibly mature perspective on the complexity and the challenges ahead."

When the charter for Prism was announced, LaVergne understood the difference between the new group and her own. Both want to uplift the voices of LGBTQ students on campus, but they will do so in different ways. While Prism navigates the complex relationship to the institution, she said, Gamma will host events celebrating LGBTQ identity, offering queer-affirming sex education and advocating for policy changewhich, at Baylor, means theology change.

If Prism is the resource-rich mothering organization, Gamma is the uninhibited big sister, Duncan said. Both can nurture and offer fellowship. In a statement on Instagram, LaVergne welcomed the new group and reaffirmed Gamma's commitment to the community: "Gamma Alpha Epsilon will continue providing an affirming environment for Baylor students of all religious, non-religious, and faith backgrounds and will advocate for the legitimacy of queer-affirming theology."

Even beyond the LGBTQ community, most reaction to the Prism news has been positive, Duncan said. Some conservative groups have issued condemnatory statements, but she said most alumni, community members, and students who've reached out were congratulatory. "Everything directed toward us has been very positive," Duncan said. "It's been a blessing."

This pretty much nails it.

But like my pastor was saying last week, unfortunately we have a lot of Christians out there who forget about that two by four in their own eye while obsessing over the splinters in the eyes of others.

The Bible outlines the way we are supposed to live. And homosexuality, while deemed a sin, is not the only one in the Bible.

The Garden of Eden had that ripe, red apple dangling from its branches.
That apple represents homosexuality for some, it represents greed and/or pride for others, it represents a man who looks lustfully at a woman who isn't his wife.

We all have human minds though, and it's human nature to take the heat off ourselves by looking at others. It's saying, 'Well, yeah, but at least I'm not _____.'

But in reply, God is saying, 'No, you're not that. True. But you're this, and you're this, and you're this.'

Which is why we have, "Judge not, lest ye bet judged."

This doesn't mean, look the other way on homosexuality, or minimize it as a sin. It means figure your own stuff out and don't worry about others so much. Because you've got enough to deal with without worrying about others. Any man who has lusted after another woman who is not his wife has sinned just like a homosexual has. We have to own our sins first, repent of them, and not worry about others.

I agree with all of that.

A couple of thoughts 1) a lot of heterosexual Christians will bring up the argument that homosexuals will deny what they do is even a sin while having no issues with divorce and breaking marital vows 2) selfishness and other gods (boats, cars, promotions etc) have nothing to do with sexuality but are things we all struggle with but seldom recognize in ourselves.

After reading through this thread, I think I might be the only affirming Christian on this board lol.

This summer i will be in Virginia and the carolinas for a few months then work a 10 month contract in Alaska. I will return to Playa but think i will go live in Cambodia next..

---

Hiked the Way of Saint James in northern Spain ( El Camino ) 5 years ago. That was my last trip to Europe. Since my wife is determined never to get vaccinated ....it is very unlikely she will ever get there.

I hope to hike in Portugal and Austria someday....but time is running out .

Returned from Florida last week.....going fly fishing with friends next week on the Crow Indian Reservation ( Fort Smith, Montana )......then hopefully back to Maine in mid July .

Cambodia doesn't interest me . If I was willing to endure another 12 hour flight...would go back to New Zealand .

---

I researched the Way of St. James and was ready to go last year. Thats the only reason that I would ever go back to Europe. The only places left I havent been to but want to go to are Vietnam, Ecuador, and Panama.

---

Been to Panama a few times.

The Canal is amazing ...otherwise there are better choices.

After Portugal and Austria.......going to focus on North America .

The Left - Islam dynamics continue to entertain. It's amazing how they can simultaneously celebrate them while Islam opposes violently everything the leftist Culture War stands for. Show just how phony it really is (the Left Culture War).

What a bunch of homophobe "Christians" you people are. What an appalling post this is. How many people do you that fit into your disgusting narrative do you know, and know well? It has nothing to do with the "left", whatever in eff that is. Do you have any gay or Islamic friends? I'm certain you are better than both. lol You probably have problems win brown and black folks, too. You left out Hindus. Last I checked, everyone are God's Children. Haters gonna hate. Just disgusting !!!!!!!!

All are His creation. But not all are his children. Only those that repent of their sins and accept Christ as Savior are children of God. I'll post a link explaining.

This pretty much nails it.

But like my pastor was saying last week, unfortunately we have a lot of Christians out there who forget about that two by four in their own eye while obsessing over the splinters in the eyes of others.

The Bible outlines the way we are supposed to live. And homosexuality, while deemed a sin, is not the only one in the Bible.

The Garden of Eden had that ripe, red apple dangling from its branches.
That apple represents homosexuality for some, it represents greed and/or pride for others, it represents a man who looks lustfully at a woman who isn't his wife.

We all have human minds though, and it's human nature to take the heat off ourselves by looking at others. It's saying, 'Well, yeah, but at least I'm not _____.'

But in reply, God is saying, 'No, you're not that. True. But you're this, and you're this, and you're this.'

Which is why we have, "Judge not, lest ye bet judged."

This doesn't mean, look the other way on homosexuality, or minimize it as a sin. It means figure your own stuff out and don't worry about others so much. Because you've got enough to deal with without worrying about others. Any man who has lusted after another woman who is not his wife has sinned just like a homosexual has. We have to own our sins first, repent of them, and not worry about others.

I don't think Jesus would want us to look the other way at what Democrat Groomers want to do to our children

Those perverts better pray to God they don't come near my boys

Perversion is in vogue.

JFC... I have been to drag brunches / shows and they can be fun/silly ways to pass time but ***I?

Never in a million years would I let a CHILD attend one, especially in a venue with a neon sign like the one in the background here...
