Chapter 1 Religion And Homosexuality: Issues in Social Justice

Author: Jacob Armstrong

Chapter one in the issues in the social justice book talks about Religions and Homosexuality. Organized Religions have the concept of power on making rules to maintain order within society in the countries, but the states is more powerful because it could force obedience and enforce the law. In the United States Christianity became the most powerful religion that 75 percent of Americans follows the Christian religion, Few years ago a public issue has surfaced, It was the “Homosexuality”. Although it clearly says in the bible that homosexual is unacceptable and sinful to god, but the united states have challenged this social issue, so the state made its own decision about it so they legalized the homosexual marriages to be fair and understanding to peoples cultures and interests of practicing their own things and avoid racism. In this way both ex-gay and gay people can practice the Christianity still but in their own believes of who they are as humans. Overall a social change can happen while enforcing the law and religion.
