In one of his radio broadcasts (above link), Alex Jones asserts that “the reason there are so many gays now is there is a chemical warfare,” underway. He then states that this warfare to create gays is done by “the government,” and he has “the documents that state they [the Government] is going to encourage homosexuality,” through this chemical warfare. The reason is to prevent people from having babies.
Unfortunately, there is only a brief part of the broadcast on YouTube, and I’m uncertain if he explains this dogma in greater detail. I don’t know if he identifies other chemicals besides “estrogen” in the juice boxes that cause homosexuality. I don’t know if he explains why one person becomes gay, while he doesn’t: even thought he “[catches himself] drinking out of . . . estrogen” infused drinks. I also don’t know if he explains the effectiveness of this warfare. In the short version, I don’t know if he offers any evidence of rising or falling birth rates in the US. Nor do I know if he counters statements made by USA Today that the falling birth rate of 2008 is thought to be because of an “uncertainty about the economy” (Rubin, USA Today, 4/6/2010).
These unanswered questions could be used to counter his argument successfully. Indeed, one could first argue that radio talk shows are not debates or lectures and tend to talk about things in general terms. Radio talk shows rarely offer evidence to support claims. They do not bog us down will references and the like. One could then argue against Jones’ view by addressing each of the unanswered questions present in the preceding paragraph. One could also just cast to the side Jones’ view as idiotic, stupid, unfounded in reason, and the ranting of a lunatic that believes the Government is a divine organization with the power to create homosexuals at will.
But Gays should not. Gays should embrace this dogma. Embracing and propagating this dogma can help us overcome so much.
We can overcome the religious anti-gay factions with this dogma. These religious factions assert that gay sex (and even being gay according to some factions) is sinful. By being sinful, one should avoid it. Indeed if it weren’t a sin these factions would not be bothered by it.
What is sin?
Sin is defined by the Catholic Church as a “voluntary act,” which is made “acting with knowledge,” where the person gives “full consent on the part of the will.” This means that for a person to commit a sin, he must know it is a sin, and then freely of his own free will commit that act. Two points are clear: He must have an Understanding, and he must be able freely choose to commit the sin. This means one must have a complete understanding of the sin, and be able to give full consent to do it.
The Adam and Eve story explains this doctrine: Eve and Adam both eat the fruit, but it isn’t until Adam eats it that their eyes are opened. According to St. Paul, Eve was deceived by Satan but Adam was not. Because of the deception, Eve wasn’t thinking clearly, she wasn’t able to fully understand what was happening: her choice to eat was based on misinformation from Satan. She eats, nothing happens. Her eyes are not opened; the world doesn’t shake with fear. But when Adam eats things change. Eve gave the fruit to him, not Satan. Satan and Adam have no interactions. Eve doesn’t present any of Satan’s arguments. God, himself had explained to Adam what will happen if he eats from the tree. Adam takes the fruit with God’s instructions known to him, and without and misinformation from Satan.
Eve’s the ability to freely choose to commit the act is lesson by Satan’s interference. Does Eve freely have control with a badgering serpent pushing her to it? Have you ever been pressured to do something that you didn’t really want to do because someone is at you constantly? In order to freely commit to something, you must be free of mental stress, distraction and pressure.
Sin is done because one Freely Chooses. That’s why it is so bad. A person freely does it. Eve in this story simply isn’t free. Adam is. Original sin comes from Adam not Eve!
We should argue that Jones’ dogma of government controlled and created homosexuality through chemical warfare removes both understanding and full consent.
Because the government has infused gays with chemicals, our minds are altered from their original state. We are no longer wired as God created us. We are no longer able to understand fully the issues regarding homosexuality. Clearly, this is because of the gay chemicals the government has placed in our food! These chemicals are clearly changing us and changing how we think and see the world. We think being gay is genetic—clear evidence of how the chemicals have changed us. Even when all the evidence presented by religious factions about the evils of homosexuality are clearly presented to us, we still cannot see it. We hear these arguments and we just don’t understand them.
How many of you gays have heard anti-gay arguments, and found yourself thinking “Whaaaat?” You sit there hearing these arguments and just don’t “get it”. Your mind seems to not function. You can’t figure out something to say. All you can say is something dismissive like “oh he’s crazy that one.” Or your just resign and say: “I just don’t get it.”
Why is this? Why is it that so many people who show such great intelligence and creativity normally are suddenly struck dumb?
Government Chemical Warfare to Create Homosexuals.
Now we can turn and reply: Look it’s a fact that the Government is waging a Chemical Warfare to create homosexuals. They have changed our minds. There is nothing about homosexuality being a sin or wrong that you can say that I will understand. It’s not my fault: it’s the Government’s and personally I hope they get what is coming to them!
Jones’ Dogma of the Government Chemical Warfare to Create Homosexuals explains everything. It makes us victims of an evil Government plot to reduce birth rates. It explains how we are not truly sinning because we are left with damaged brains that do not have the capacity to understand why homosexuality is wrong. We are freed through this Dogma. Our families are freed too. They no longer have to try to convince us to not be gay: once they understand we are victims of the Government Chemical Warfare to Create Homosexuals, our families and friends will understand our damaged brains will never “get what they are saying.” And because of this we can never have a true understanding.
Alex Jones’ Dogma of the Government Chemical Warfare to Create Homosexuals has liberated us! Are not responsible, we are not guilty of any wrong doing. It is the Government’s fault, and they will burn for this!

There are a couple of problems with issue though.
ReplyDeleteFirst all humans including men and women have estrogen in their system. Women certainly on greater quantity but both have them. So an excess of such a chemical would do what it usually does but in excess none of which have to do with sexual orientation (although perhaps with libido).
If you give a man high doses of estrogen probably you will just make him sick to his stomach. if you give it for a long time perhaps you'll make him grow boobs and change his cholesterol but not much more. IF you give it a woman you'll definitely mess up her cycle but there's no way you'll get a lesbian.
This would make the argument of gays created from estrogen infused drinks guilty of material fallacy due to false evidence.
Another part of the issue is what has to deal with the sinfulness of the act, for which different people offer different reasons most of which have to do with either being specified in the bible which is not much of a reason since many other sinful behaviors of the bible have changed such status, or have to do with the impossibility of gays forming a loving couple which is the most subjective reasoning possible, and finally impossibility of reproduction which would be relative to the level technology used and most gays would say... Is not for lack of trying!!!!!
That estrogen argument from Jones was just out of control, but he did say it.
ReplyDeleteRegarding "Impossibility of reproduction". I agree with you on your point and would like to add this.
In my opinion the Catholic Church has the most developed theology on sex. They would defiantly then point out reproduction as essential to moral sex. Protestants however, I feel, don't have as complete a teaching on sex as Catholics. Protestants would also point out reproduction, but since they do not have a ban on contraception as Catholics do they render this argument invalid.
In the future, if Protestants point out openness to reproduction, we should point out that sex with contraception is the same as gay sex.
