Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." ~ Romans 1.21-25
I've often pondered whether self-worship is the root of homosexuality. It seems that Paul is hinting at that, doesn't it? |
Coonskinner once said something to the effect that homosexuality is the ultimate narcissism--homosexuals are attracted to their own image rather than the opposite sex. (Not an exact quote!) I thought that was pretty brilliant.
