episode 13: Homosexuality and Christianity – Somewhere Over the Rainbow
After catching up on their past two weeks of life filled with grilling and hammocks, Jeff, Mona and Allen begin an in-depth conversation about homosexuality and Christianity. They touch on historical attitudes toward sex, what the Bible says about “homosexuality” in its cultural context, present-day issues, and what the stakes are for us today. After an arousing conversation, they play Jesus or Jay-Z: the Sequel and try to guess whether song lyrics are Christian or secular.
