Vimeo pulls Christian Ministries' videos for biblical perspective on homosexuality.
Vimeo voids Christian videos. The sharing site is one of multiple web platforms to censor biblical
messages. Vimeo, a leading online film production and sharing outlet, pulled the entire 850 count
video catalog of pure passion ministry this month after determining the video content
demeaned homosexuals. Foster's encounter with the web-based platform is nothing new,
according to a spokesman for National Religious Broadcasters. It is part of a disturbing trend
of censorship of conservative and Christian messages online by new media or sharing sites
that bypass traditional channels to reach an intended audience. With no laws forcing new
media to host all content, online ministries like Foster's are at the mercy of secular progressive
gatekeepers. In 2009, Foster received an email notification from Vimeo warning him that some of
the ministry's videos violated the platform's content standards. He asked for a list of the
videos in question and an email response listed only four videos, but those were enough and they
pulled all their content down. It said, your statement equating homosexuality to sexual
brokenness betrays the underlying stance of your organization. To put it plainly, we don't believe
that homosexuality requires a cure and we don't allow videos on our platform that espouse this
point of view. We also consider this basic viewpoint to display a demeaning attitude toward
a specific group, which is something that we do not allow. Isn't that a shame? Well, I guess they
wouldn't like what the Bible actually says about homosexuality. The Bible says, if a man also lie
with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall
surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. That's what the Bible says. Homosexuality is
an abomination. If we had a righteous government, they would pass a law that makes homosexuality
illegal and punishable by the death penalty. But unfortunately, we do not have a righteous
government. Christian censorship online on video sites is not going to get better. It's only going
to get worse as time goes on. So let me know what you think about this in the comments below
