As the film notes, most Christians live their lives today without feeling obliged to kil anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp. Through the experience of five very normal, very Christian , very American families - including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson - we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. With commentary by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, For The Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

 Rating:  - A movie every radical fundamentalist should see.When are the radical fundamentalists going to stop spreading hatred? Why are people not SCREAMING out loud when a man in the movie is holding a sign reading "God hates America"?! This was in reference to gays in the movie. It's funny how radical fundamentalists can get away with things like that. What this movie shows and teaches is love. It also sadly portrays what happends when people like James Dobson are allowed to teach lies and hatred, and it is heart breaking. I'll read ...

YEA to the people who made the film, watch the film and share their thoughts and feelings. Rating:  - Interesting and Thought-ProvokingI watched this documentary as part of the book tour that Gene Robinson was on. Watching it and then hearing Gene speak was incredible. The high-energy hate of the film followed by the calm (though no less passioned) talk that Gene gave was an interesting juxtaposition. Of course, the movie is about Gene Robinson's life and consecration as Bishop of New Hampshire (in the Episcopal Church). But it is much more than that. It is about the struggle of homosexuals, and also of those who love and care ... Read More Rating: - A POWERFUL VEHICLE FOR POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE IN AMERICAThis powerful and courageous video exposes the Fundamental Christian Right and other traditional organized religious venues for what they really are, as well as de-bunking their twisted logic, in an objective, academic and empiracal fashion, relative to the alleged "Words of God", via the Scriptures. The credible, thoughtful and realistic interpretations of the Biblical lines that the hateful/Old Testament autocrats use to freely admonish the ideologies associated with same-sex relationships, ... Read More Rating: - DVD-"For The Bible Tells Me So"For The Bible Tells Me So A wonderfully written documentary on the struggle for spiritual equality for gay and lesbian christians. Tells how so-called christians use scripture in order to bolster their own homophobic beliefs and "beat up gays and lesbians" with scripture that is not even closely interpreted in a authoritative and biblically understood format. The DVD shows gay christians (and NO - that is NOT an oxymoron!) in loving relationships; it also shows gays in a growing ... Read More |
