So, this morning I concluded my two week ‘series’ on sexual perversion in Sunday School. The first class was heterosexual perversion, the second class was homosexual perversion. Frankly, that could be a rather awkward class to teach anywhere, let alone in a class with quite a few post-retiree attendees. After teaching for a bit the oldest man in the class (who has to be in his late 80’s) piped up and asked, “How does bestiality tie in with all of this [perversion]?”
Me: Dear in the headlights! Didn’t see that coming.
Yeah, you know you go to a church that is full of grace when you can address these issues without coming across like ‘GodHatesFags.com’ and the oldest guy asks about perversion with animals so that he can attempt to fathom where the culture has gone since he was a teenager back in the earlier part of the 20th century 🙂 He also asked where the term ‘gay’ came from to mean anything but happy since when he was a bit younger that is what the term meant. Fortunately I had learned the answer to that some time ago. Still, its weird being 28 and fielding questions on such intense [or at least heated] topics. I don’t know that the MP3’s will be made available online or not in the near future, but they’re going to have to be edited 🙂
