Commentary by John Martin Green
Poor Donnie. Having read a couple of chapters in his book at a Barnes & Nobles year before last, I think it was, I kind of wondered why any would feel it important to respond to something Donnie McClurkin had said about homosexuality. While he does speak to a sizeable congregation, bless his heart, in case you didn't notice, Donnie seems rather deeply disturbed.
It struck me, when I read the fairly flimsily penned episodes, that brother would do well by some intensive therapy. He was traumatized by his rape as a child, and traumatized again by a theology and a culture that damns difference - the very difference which he embodies, no less.
Interesting was his quoting a passage of scripture which tells the reader that he must fear God. That is so bassackwards as to be laughable, were it not so widely held and propagated. In fact, God and fear do not coexist simultaneously. One cancels the other out. Which is why, when even an atheist is petrified, that is, fears for his life, he is apt to pray.
But, Donnie isn't the problem. Theological doctrine which condemns difference is. Be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc., et. al. Any theology which constricts or constrains, let alone rebukes or curses people's natural inclinations is a perversion of spirit.
