Absolutely. if it were up to African Christians, we’d all be in prison or
on death row – but more likely – lynched or (as is tradition in South
Africa) necklaced.
It’s like asking the KKK how should we treat black people.
Progressive stance = Me Me Me Me Me Traditional stance = God God God God God
We could but we love Jesus and our Church too much — enough to want to
strive to change it for the better. … besides UUers’ don’t sing like we
do!
Forget the bible forget the church. Be good people. You all know what is
decent and fair. You don’t need a religion or a church. And accept gay,
lesbians and all in between. Live your life leave the Pagan mind control
church for what it is.
Africans are homophobic. This is to blame by the church his witch hunt in
Arica.
If you are sp stupid yolu let your church tell you to turn out your
children you’re a damn fool

GOOF
Americans have always been homophobic.I lived in America for 20 years and
found it to be the most backward country I’d ever visited. Had many gay
friends all who were discriminated against in America. Hated it and so
thankful when I left. Have never been back and have no intention of doing
even though I’m a US citizen.
The good news is that in response to what happened at the General
Conference, the entire Western Jurisdiction of the UMC has voted to
denounce the rulings of the G.C. and are ignoring those portions of our
Book of Discipline. : )
Good News magazine said ” the film is a fair-minded portrayal of the
excruciating emotional and theological divide that occurs within (the
UMC)”. It may be fair-minded, yet the bias is still there as to the
preferential placement and presentation of the progressive stance.
Pastor: Why are you banging on the door to be let in? Potential
Parishioner: I want you to let me in. Pastor: But the door is open, and you
are welcome to come in. Potential Parishioner: But I don’t want the door to
even be here.

These are all people with too much free time. The problems they have…
will we allow gays to live or should we banish them? Aren’t there bigger
issues they could spend their time for finding a solution? Like beggars and
junkies and what not? Why don’t they debate how they could help those
people? Gays are the issue? Common… It’s almost incredible how this still
happens in 2012, in USA.
The United Methodist Church will die if they continue this kind of shit.
So sad. I just can’t help but think Jesus is bummed about this.
Who cares let people be people why even have a vote? It would be different
if people wanted to marry animals yea have a vote…
They have to rely on Africa?!!!!!!!!!! Do you know what they do to GLBT in
Africa? Gays don’t stand a chance.
There is a really good documentary called Missionaries of Hate by Current.
American evangelicals played a huge role in this. Everyone should Google
Scott Lively. He had a huge role in this and now in Uganda they have a Kill
the Gays bill that will pass by the end of 2012. Google it, people!!!
Why can’t these people go to a UU church anyway?
GOOF
*sigh* No one follows the Bible as it’s written out fully and meant to be
followed. Do you know why? Because A) it’s impossible to follow both the
Old and New Testament as they contradict each other, B) it’s flat out
illegal to follow Old Testament laws, which, according to Jesus, are still
meant to be followed, C) it pretty much goes against most people’s morals.
Stop being so pretentious. If you’re going to follow a religion, FOLLOW it.
God. Boy are fundie Christians stupid!
