Abstract
The Indecent Theology is a continuation of liberation theology when it focuses on the victims of injustice, makes use of socio-analytical mediation to understand, and identify the structures of oppression in society. The heterosexuality is denounced as an ideology and Christianity reinforced this alliance of heterosexual gods built on continents such as Latin America. Hence, it is possible to find God, doing theology, when the theologian leaves those places to take a position in more vulgar, dirty places, and uncivilized places of public sexual life: bedrooms, bars, and alleys. The Althaus-Reid’s project maintains that liberation theology must be understood as a continuous process of recontextualization, the permanent exercise of deep doubting in theology.
