The US has been my home for so many years that I really consider myself an American.<br /><br />But I do remember when I was a teenager and reading in the newspapers about an execution of a gay man. <br /><br />You could just imagine how terrifying that was for me.<br /><br />It's interesting that Saudi Arabia is usually criticized for its treatment of women but not is usually said about the LGBT community.SaudiMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015418200654762371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-2465491843854203882009-11-30T23:08:27.259-08:002009-11-30T23:08:27.259-08:00You see this is what pisses me off the most about ...You see this is what pisses me off the most about Christian fundamentalist missionaries.<br /><br />They could have gone to third world countries and dug wells and given people medicine. But they didn't. They went to dig wells and give people medicine and then they told them that they were being sinful and that unless they started doing what the christians said they would burn in hell.<br /><br />I have said it before and I will say it again but I wish these american fundamentalists would keep their money (and they have a lot of it) out of the rest of the world.<br /><br />Especially western Europe where crazy god groups find it hard to raise funding on their own soil.orangegoblin82noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-67031852730143896352009-11-30T22:23:03.693-08:002009-11-30T22:23:03.693-08:00The one thing about Rick Warren's speech that ...The one thing about Rick Warren's speech that IRKED me the most is about the "moral choices?" Now please everyone out there in cyberland...PLEASE tell me when I made the choice to be gay??? PLEASE!!! I CERTAINLY do not recall making that decision. Being gay in this society has given me a lot of grief. Seriously..I would not wish it on my worst enemy!!! I am not saying that "being gay" is the issue..it is our hateful ignorant society.<br /><br />Gay kids are still committing suicide all over the world because they and their parents hear words like Rick Warren's. This man is a vile person!! Shame on you Rick Warren...you are not a Christian!!! I wanna be a fly on the wall when you walk through those "pearly gates" and see God's reaction!!!Jim Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387924451130690320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-85963523544384711082009-11-30T17:33:10.616-08:002009-11-30T17:33:10.616-08:00Oh btw, Did you get my last email?, just wondering...Oh btw, Did you get my last email?, just wondering.SwAmPeXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929143737620431869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-19813436418053585342009-11-30T17:32:19.777-08:002009-11-30T17:32:19.777-08:00This is the stype of situation that makes me feel ...This is the stype of situation that makes me feel bad, because theres almost nothing i can do, in fact i can´t think what i can do to help. <br /><br />(I´m not going to atack the church this time, although they deserve it)<br />I´m so tired of these evangelical dudes, that mostly are in the "business" for the money, while poisoning the minds of thousands just to get their cash. Here in argentina we have a few, but they are not very well seen, and they are mostly laughable.SwAmPeXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929143737620431869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-47969555516968399922009-11-30T17:28:27.393-08:002009-11-30T17:28:27.393-08:00Well, at least United States have a tiniest voice,...Well, at least United States have a tiniest voice, while other countries that don't criminalize homosexuality per se (just because the West made them to amend those provisions to get some financial help or political weight) choose to stay silent and don't talk about "them damn gays" at all, like Russia that never commented on anything concerning GLBTQ rights.<br />Moreover, in the XXI century there were several attempts to criminalize homosexuality once again in Russia, and this time to include lesbians who were never prosecuted before in this country. What is it? Going back, and this time doing even more damage? I still think that one day this may happen in my country, it can be illegal again to be gay. And after that people ask me why I decided to do everything to move away from this country as soon as possible to Canada?<br />I see how Orthodox Church gains more and more power in Russia, how they make more people to come to their parishes, and I know the official position of this Church about gays: absolutely negative, up to encouraging people to kill gays (meanwhile, the problem of gay priests here is not something uncommon).<br /><br />What never ceases to amaze me is this almost sacred feeling of mission that church followers think they have to purify the society. OK, you think that gays are sinners, you think that God will punish them, you think that they will burn in hell. So? Who gave you the right to turn our lives into hell right here, on Earth, while we are still alive? Let God decide this, for crying out loud! You can hate us, but you can't dismiss one of seven deadly sins — killing another person. I really can't wrap my mind around this strange interpretations of the Scripture: you can't kill people, but sometimes you can. The text of those seven deadly sins doesn't say it, or am I wrong? But, of course, Church had to make an excuse to justify wars and their own witch-hunts. And I don't think that God actually sent a message to the Pope about that, the Pope just made a call all by himself. Twisting the Scripture in all possible ways is apparently acceptable when you're the guy sitting in Vatican. But God forbid we'll ever look at those "gay passages" from Bible in a different light. Double standards? Ah, duh.<br /><br />So, what they did when their argument turned out to be a wee bit weak? They started to spread lies, of course! Those gays not just fornicate amongst themselves, noooo, they also molest children and involve innocent people into their evil activities. Masterpiece! This alone will hold people against gays for many centuries to come. And no one cares if any of this is true. Because who are we to question Vatican, to question the Pope? Aren't we forgetting something? Like the fact that "the Pope" is not the same as "God"? Ah, duh, but again, who cares?<br /><br />And the myth that gays spread AIDS... well, let's do the math! How many gays are out there? About 6%. So, the rest of the population is 94%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I actually do recall that straight people do fornicate with lots of people, they do cheat on their spouses, they do have a pretty wild life sometimes, especially in their twenties, and, I must add, they do it more actively and more openly, because being straight is not something people usually try to hide. So, what do we have? We have 94% of straight population that openly and frivolously fornicate & cheat all over the place (I'm not saying that everyone is doing this, of course not, but some significant part of them). On the other hand, we have 6% of gay population that in most parts of the world is being persecuted, hated, beaten & killed for being gay, so... not so much fun at fornication... And what, gays are those who spread HIV? Really?<br /><br />Today is December 1 (in Russia it already is), the World AIDS Day. I wonder what the statistics are about how many gays and how many straights have contracted this disease? Somehow I don't think that gays would be leading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
