for the bible tell me so be one of the most important documentary i have ever see and and certainly quintessential for our time . it be about homosexuality and it apparent struggle with religion and depict a variety of analysis of what the bible say about it . it main thread be an interweaving of extensive interview segment with several set of ardently religious parent and include former house majority leader dick gephardt and his wife and those of a young man from a long line of lutheran pastor and and the parent of the first openly gay bishop and and the son of an endear old church go couple and on the subject of their personal experience raise gay child and and we see the perspective on those story through interview with those child and now grow . it be important that everyone and especially those who need to see this film the most and understand that this be not a film about sacrifice one religion and or condemn it and for the sake of homosexuality . it be about various old people who find themselves in a spiritual rejuvenation through their acceptance of their child identity and and thus their grasp of their belief in god message and their view of how faithfully they follow it be revitalize . it also about gay people who manage to hold their religious ground in spite of all the bigotry that they refuse to believe be inherent in god word . i will not disclose whether all or some or few or most learn to completely accept this genuinely natural element of sexuality . but what we see of their experience and of their story and some beautiful and some heartbreaking and some infuriating and run the gamut of the psychology behind follower condition for a lifetime by the narrow interpretation of a dangerously behold book by charismatic leader and idol . this stunning achievement from first time feature filmmaker daniel g. karslake let these family tell their story and intermingle them with theologian and biblical scholar and even desmond tutu and by and large noting of biblical literalism and where one take the bible at face value and do not take into account the context and the original manuscript and or anything else and be a 20th century trend . before the 1900s and it be recognize that you have to study to grasp the bible significance . the film include fascinate offshoot of these family story of acceptance and awakening and include a hilariously satirical cartoon in which a traditional christian literalist stand between a gay man and a lesbian and challenge them with stunningly inform and persuasively concrete result . this be what be masterful about this documentary . it doesn not merely offer observation and but reference to which a skeptic can go to corroborate it observation . it do this and and do not neglect the emotional effect of the socioreligious convention wherein the filmmaker and interviewee find seams . we learn of mortify result of lifelong self hatred and confusion and repression and ostracision . we also learn that james dobson and one of the most indisputably renowned and respect evangelical christian leader in america and chairman of focus on the family and a nonprofit christian organization and believe that homosexuality be a preference that be inspire through a child surroundings . in his warped point of view and any sexual activity beyond marriage include homosexuality and departs from the god ordain male female marriage and which he illustrate a the fundamental stabilizing foundation of this already over populated carbon emit society . he state that homosexual behavior and or more in particular and unwanted same sex attraction have be and can be overcome via learn developmental model for homosexuality and and decide to cure the multifaceted and completely fabricated developmental issue . we learn the enormously damaging and detrimental and destructive effect of such pronouncement and declaration by such a revered and trusted man and have be quote a say that it be the responsibility of a father to raise his son to be a man and and to push his son masculinity . this respect and wealthy and well mannered man be a big part of what promote some of one of the family local to throw a brick through their windshield and write fag in chalk outside the house . this happen in the 21st century and in a civilized nation . various christian say they believe homosexuality be sinful and unnatural because the bible clarifies it and but the reality in most case be that they believe it because it be what their church have teach them and church and church leader like dobson . just read through the bible and with no predetermined idea and no outside instruction and you would be press to hark back to it refer to homosexuality at all . merely a handful of verse cite it and and generally in the obsolete and outdated and laughably psychotic old testament book of laviticus for the reason that the jew be too intent on procreate to allow vain sex act and so it barely even a thematic element in the bible . what be endear and all encompass about this film be that it damn no one . whether you be religious or not and and regardless of your politics and by the end and the faith emanate from the interviewed family be inspire and a be the love demonstrate between them . some magnify in their love for their child and see homosexuality be just another beautiful work of mother nature and the work of the lord . some have only regret that they may have run out of chance to accept or and god forbid and understand . other variation be either just a heartfelt or they complement what the rest now see themselves have have be before they realize what be a christian truly mean .
