Atheists Meetup: "For the Bible Tells Me So" Screening

The First Unitarian church will be hosting free screenings of the film For the Bible Tells Me So on the weekend of June 5th.

Space is limited; however, there are multiple additional film showings (See below).

We meet five Christian families, each with a gay or lesbian child. Parents talk about their marriages and church-going, their children's childhood and coming out, their reactions, and changes over time. The stories told by these nine parents and four adult children alternate with talking heads - Protestant and Jewish theologians - and with film clips of fundamentalist preachers and pundits and news clips of people in the street. They discuss scripture and biblical scholarship. A thesis of the film is that much of Christianity's homophobia represents a misreading of scripture, a denial of science, and an embrace of quack psychology.
