Georgetown Prof. Says Loving Jesus is ‘Interestingly Homoerotic’
Christmas really brings out the best in some liberals, doesn’t it?

Georgetown Professor: Loving Jesus ‘Interestingly Homoerotic’
Monday’s The Ed Show was guest hosted by MSNBC contributor Joy Reid, who kicked off the show discussing Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson’s comments about homosexuals and black Americans before the Civil Rights movement in a recent interview with GQ. Reid welcomed Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson, whom she praised for his knowledge on American history and Biblical theology.
Reid started the segment saying that the Bible can be manipulated to support any argument. She admitted that the Bible views the act of homosexual activity as a “sin” but also said, in her opinion, that the Bible is also anti-Christmas trees. Reid used Jeremiah 10:10 for her “The Bible is against Christmas trees” argument, which she read before showing a clip of Phil Robertson cutting a Christmas tree in a scene from the A&E show.
Dyson then continued,
Look through the Bible, there’s a lot of interesting things. The same men who sat up in a church of all men ‘I put my God, Jesus over all women, I love Him more than I love her!’ Hmmm… do you really? That sounds interestingly homoerotic to people who are outside your religious tradition! I’m not suggesting it is but I’m suggesting there are some very interesting narrative tensions within the Bible itself and within Christianity beyond that.

Comments
‘But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.’ – 1 Corinthians 2:14
And the Bible is not against Christmas trees. The Bible preaches against idolatry.
But it’s no surprise these debauched ‘learned’ folks can only derive eroticism and perversion from the word ‘love.’
How pathetic.
MSNBC even got the passage reference in Jeremiah wrong: it’s 10:3, not 10:10. (Anyone know how to do basic research there?) And it has nothing to do with decorating trees but in carving them up into idols. The love comment is an insult to the professor himself – I wonder: did he get tenure? These people are beyond being bozos; that would possibly be a complement for them.
So Prof Dyson is employed by the Jesuit’s Georgetown U, and he uses his MSNBC time to suggest that being a male Christian is homo-erotic? I’ve searched georgetown.edu for any announcement to correct, condemn or dissociate from the comments, but see none. The paradox of a Catholic college effectively lending support to today’s fashion for slandering Christian faith is too much to bear.

The faculty handbook requires: “Faculty members have a responsibility to respect the religious beliefs and practices of all members of the Georgetown community, and to recognize and respect that Georgetown University is a Jesuit university that is committed therefore to Catholic principles and religious values.” The link is here: http://facultyhandbook.georgetown.edu/toc/section3.
