The Rules for Talking about Homosexuality

No one should be allowed to talk about the gay issue unless they have enough points. This is how you get your points...

10 if you have considered and studied the relevant biblical passages
10 if you have actually read the six passages about homosexuality in the Bible
20 if you have read other passages that might affect the way you read those six passages
5 if you have read one or more books that reinforce the position you already hold
25 if you have read one or more books arguing the opposite position
10 if you have spent three hours reading websites showing a variety of views
50 for every friend you have who's been through an ex-gay ministry
50 for every friend who's been through an ex-gay ministry that didn't work
50 for every friend who's gay and in a long-term committed relationship
50 for every friend who's gay and not in a committed relationship
50 for every parent you've listened to whose child is gay

When you have 3,000 points, you can speak on the issue.
