Far right Christian group endorses Ugandan "death penalty for gays" law

[Bluebear]

A far right Christian group has urged fellow Christians to support Uganda's proposed law that would make homosexuality punishable by death.

Stephen Green, leader of the Christian extremist group 'Christian Voice', remarked:

"The Bible calls for the ultimate penalty for sodomy (Lev 20:13) and for rape (Deut 22:25), and our Lord upheld the death penalty when He called for the accusers of the woman caught in adultery to cast the first stone (John 8:7) – if, that is, they were not implicated in adultery themselves.

"The contrast between our politicians and those of Uganda could not be more stark. A Parliamentarian in Uganda is trying to protect his nation's children. The House of Commons of the United Kingdom is trying to corrupt ours. Which country is the more civilised, I wonder, in the eyes of Almighty God?"...

Stephen Green added: "What is at stake here is no less than Uganda 's status as a sovereign nation. Will they allow themselves to be bullied by Western secularists, or will they stand by their Christian values and the traditional African way of life? "I hope and pray it will be the latter, and that the Western homosexuals and abortionists who are trying to corrupt their youth will be sent a firm message to stop their wickedness."

1. African states rights? nt

2. First, these false "christians" should pay their taxes and then we'll talk about gays.

They look down their noses at gays but these churches get millions of tax breaks that gays don't get. Justice demands an accounting: all christians should pay every cent of tax money that they've not paid since the founding of America because of their special status as a "religion."
