These so called Christians support genocide.<br /><br />They ARE the same as Hitler and what he did to the Jews and the Muslim extremists and what they did to the WTC on 9/11.<br /><br />Do NOT get fooled by these born again wacko's taking a trip to Uganda and claiming to spread the word of God. When they are their they are really supporting the execution, torture, and imprisionment of gays. Then these same born again's return back to the US to their $150,000 job, new home, flat screen tv's, and new cars. At least they can pick up their family and move to Uganda to live under what they have influenced!<br /><br />It is time to stand up to these born again bigots and EXPOSE them in their home town to what they really are. I know of at least two houses that have had human rights activitists and gays demonstrate in front of their homes!<br /><br />We all will be going to hell in a hand basket if we do not expose these born again hypocraites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-55756200670761507362010-02-07T07:44:07.987+02:002010-02-07T07:44:07.987+02:00it is awful that we live in a world that wants to ...it is awful that we live in a world that wants to punish people for finding love. the world can be hard and cruel enough, why do we, as a species, try to make it worse?

Already people are beaten and killed in SA, esp. women. One of the leading players for their women's football team was killed for being gay.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-46445771338346910362010-02-06T02:56:25.416+02:002010-02-06T02:56:25.416+02:00While we don't have a death sentence for gays,...While we don't have a death sentence for gays, we have plenty of unpunished instances of beatings (and killings) of gays by individuals. Many of us are astounded at the Christian right's vehemence—and the extent of their support. In addition, there is still a strong undercurrent against gays in the workplace. I know of a church that hired a gay organist, then the governing committee reviewed his application, and realized he was living with a man. He was asked to leave before he played one note.bonitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-83102165214818151202010-02-06T01:22:44.628+02:002010-02-06T01:22:44.628+02:00That is just so sad.

Even here in the States where we claim a government separate from religion, it is not. And it is becoming more rigid.<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-36967371106896786042010-02-05T09:58:55.628+02:002010-02-05T09:58:55.628+02:00For some reason I have been surrounded by gay peop...For some reason I have been surrounded by gay people very close to me from a very early age. It permeates everything I write. My nephew (like a son) died of AIDS not a year ago. So many, even those in our very own family made it impossible for him to feel good about who he was. <br /><br />I am so angered by ignorance. When it's colored as the word of God I get so mad I could spit bullets. It seems the Christians keep spreading the word that gays just have to BELIEVE, and they shall become straight. Here in California, we vote gay marriage into being but it gets squelched. Why? Ignorance, plain and simple.Elizabeth Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150221675618198674noreply@blogger.com
