Friendlywordposted 14 years ago
Soon, Uganda will start murdering it's Citizens, with the help from some of the worst of us here in the United States. Some people in the Christian Right and some Christian Evangelists (and one gay nut!) helped write a bill in Uganda that will allow the Ugandan Government to Murder the homosexual People in their Country.

Some Countries have stepped up and said they will cut off aid to Uganda if this Holocust Bill is passed. But what will anyone do to actually stop this Christian backed Holocaust in Uganda before it starts? Help came too late for the Jews in Germany. Bill Clinton tried to stop the slaughter in Somalia. Bill Clinton finally put a stopped to the slaughter in Bosnia.

This time the world is watching and is fully aware of what is about to happen. Who will step up and put a stop to the Holocust in Uganda before it starts? I'm waiting to hear some thing of substance from the Leader of the United States, Israel, the Vatican and any other leader with a conscience in the free world. What are you going to do to stop this Holocaust?

  - Ugandan AIDS epidemic: blame widespread ignorance, with self-serving Christianism just part of the problem
  - violent crime: blame our violence-obsessed culture
  - rising poverty: blame policy designed to heighten inequality (see Grover Norquist, Club for Growth)
  - European don't like America: blame both American policy and their own political blame-shifting
  - 9/11: blame the terrorists, the activities of which the Bush Administration was warned against repeatedly beforehand.

  Sorry. Hope you weren't aiming for reality. You missed.
  1. ad hominem attacks, for small things, like perjury.
  2. "Ignorance kills"--that's lovely...
  3. Inequality--Grover who?? Is Obama a part of this conspiracy? He appears to be doing his part to keep us all in the poor house.
  4. Europeans & 9-11--I said, "blame America" didn't I? So, we actually agree on that one.
  
  Finally, reality is not a flavor (like vanilla or strawberry); it's what we have to deal with every day, something your trite responses indicate that you missed.
  
  Besides, the point being made that the US Christian right promotes the indiscriminate killing of homosexuals would be funny if the topic (the death of Ugandans) were not so serious. Who's promoting this? James Dobson? Pat Robertson? George W. Bush? Ann Coulter?

He was incredibly, embarrassingly lame.

I don't think we are getting the full story here seeing "Ugandan lawmakers and religious leaders, both Muslim and Christian, have thrown their support behind the bill, and the Ugandan public overwhelmingly supports laws enforced against homosexuality."

And seeing the the bill states these four parts especially the end of part 2 and part 3.

1) those found guilty of homosexual activity will be sentenced to a minimum of life in prison,

2) homosexuals that are HIV positive will automatically be sentenced to death as well as those who commit homosexual acts more than once and/or with minors,

3) the “promotion of homosexuality” through leaflets or otherwise will be outlawed,

4) anyone who refuses to report homosexual activity will receive a 3 year prison sentence.

I have a couple questions about the people reporting on the bill.

1. Are Maddow and Sharlet Gay? The reason I ask is they would naturally be a tad less objective.

2. What denomination is actually stating officially they support the law? I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would want gays imprisoned or executed. Unless someone recklessly or intentionally infects an innocent.

3. What churches are part of "The Family"? I've never heard of it.

I'm personally against any harm coming to any one no matter what sexual orientation. I would stand in defense of their rights to live in peace without fear of harm. That said, I still would support a "Civil Union" and not gay marraige. It's what I believe but I will obey any and all laws.

  Rachel Maddow is gay. I don't know about Jeff Sharlet. The Family is a nondemoninational, somewhat secretive group that runs a sort of apartment house/retreat center in DC for right wing politicians. It has come under increased scrutiny, largely because of Sharlet's writing and Maddow's promotion of Sharlet's writing, for espousing views that are more antinomian than conventionally Christian. (I had to look that word up myself so I thought I would use it---I may never get another chance! lol!)
  
  Seriously though, if I was in a group that was being targeted to for extermination in another country (or this one) I would think that being 'biased' against my own potential extermination was completely justified.
  
  The worst thing about this mess is the resounding silence on the topic by people who aren't 'biased'--which I think is what this thread meant to discuss.

The latest news is that Uganda is not going to murder its citizens. They are going to cure them of their Homosexuality.

(In addition to formulating punishments for the gay people, the bill will also promote counseling to help “attract errant people to acceptable sexual orientation,” said Buturo.)

That's a little trick they learned from a United States Gay Nut job Richard Cohen.

Why did Richard Cohen and the Right Wing Evangelical group called The Family take their Bloodlust all the way to a country on the other side of the planet? Why does the STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN have to be built on the bodies of murdered people?

As I recall, the Romans murdered and crucified a lot of Christians. The phrase "fed to the lions" also comes to mind. And as I recall in the recent past, ethnic cleansing as well as religious jihads, and all sorts of evil have been perpetrated by those claiming devout religious values.

The bill proposed for Uganda is reprehensible and only demonstrates the continued ignorance, stupidity and adherence to idiotic cultural and religious superstitions, fed by a gasoline can of religious nut jobs here in the US and other places.

Maybe Christians need to be fed to the lions again to remember what this all really feels like.

  I include the Catholic Church because it actively lobbies against abortion. There's a difference between lobbying Congress directly and talking about political issues as they relate to a religion in church as part of church. The first should be prohibited on the basis of separation of Church and State, the second is protected under the freedom of religion and the right to assemble and speak.
  
  Some charities have a tax exempt status, and others, because of their political affiliations, don't.
  
  I don't know enough about the charities you mention to comment specifically on them, but in general, political donations should be not be tax exempt (including those that go to specific political causes like gay rights or anti-abortion), while nonpolitical charities should retain the exemption.
  
  I'm not reinventing the wheel here. This is all established already. Some groups like The Family are pushing the envelope.

  Why would you doubt it?
  
  That's what Daniel's post said.
  
  While he claimed Christians are responsible for the advocation of murdering homosexuals.
  
  It's strange how so many people don't mind advocating violence against Christians, while at the same time defending the "humanity" of those who commit unGodly perversions.
  
  The Truth is that homosexuality is against God. Why else would He destroy whole cities, except for that rebellion against Him?
  
  The Truth is also that we as humans have NO right to commit murder either, except to kill in the line of duty in war, etc., or to protect ourselves or others against physical assault.
  And that would include ABORTION as a wrong, as murder.
  
  Yet liberals think it's okey-dokey to defend the homosexual in his/her rebellious ways, when instead they should be grateful (at least here in the USA) that it's no longer against the law to BE homosexual. But they still continue to push for it to be sanctioned by our laws. Twisted, selfish thinking that's undermining our whole social system and still in defiance of God.

  Richard Cohen, the evangelical guy who claims to be able to 'cure' gay people and whose writing was used by the Ugandan government to justify the bill, says in his book that gay people are more likely to molest children than straight people. When confronted on MSNBC about that passage, Cohen said he was planning to remove it from the next edition of the book. The thing is, it's not correct information. Most pedophiles are heterosexual males, and this is accepted as fact within the psychiatric community.
  
  There is a lot of misinformation being circulated in some Christian communities and it keeps circulating because it reinforces their fears and superstitions about sexuality. You'd think the Bible was all about why gay people are evil. There's barely anything in there about gay people at all.
  
  I've confronted some of the writers here about it and basically they don't care. They've made a decision to believe what they want to believe instead of what can be empirically shown to be true.

  I do not know the official studies on this matter, but it's hard to believe that most molestations are by heterosexual men given that all of the molestations of boys are done by homosexuals and then some of the ones that would be done to young girls. Perhaps she means that all the molestations perpetrated on young girls are done by mostly heterosexuals.
  
  But, surely you'll acknowledge that to broadbrush the Christian right with this accusatory nonsense is irresponsible. What about the relief efforts that have been provided by Christian missionaries and other evangelical relief organizations to assist the people in that nation? Are they a part of this genocide program? How many of the American "Christian Right" are actively involved in this promotion? One-tenth? Five percent?
  
  If those that are really concerned about this issue want to get some traction on it, they're going to have to do better than to accuse a community with half-baked facts, a group of people of whom half are not even aware of the plight in Uganda, let alone actively advancing a policy of wanton genocide.

The Government of Uganda is using the words and influence of those Cult Followers; to Write a Bill that will make it a law to kill the homosexual people in their country. I dont see where good Christian people just living their lives has anything to do with this? People are using religion to do evil things. The Bible, and The Christian, The Jewish, and The Muslim religions have nothing to do with this. It's the few in those religions that use the word of God to do evil things; that's what I'm speaking out against.

  Well Friendlyword maybe if you had have started this thread with something like that it would have taken a different turn. Nobody that has posted in this thread wants to see the death penalty for people in Uganda just because they are homosexuals.
  
  This thread has taken quite the twist. To tell you the truth the witch doctor Joseph Kony and his LRA guerrilla band that come out of the Uganda jungle to commit random murders, abductions, mutilations, sexual enslavement of women and children, and forcing children to participate in hostilities has completely nothing to do with this Uganda homosexual bill. Lets face it like Bibowen and myself have previously said Christians are the ones that are taking the brunt of Joseph Kony's LRA guerrilla band.
  Christians are literally ‘crucified’ in LRA guerrilla raids
  Church official: Ugandan rebels kill Congolese civilians as revenge
  
  Joseph Kony's LRA guerrilla band and the Uganda homosexual bill are two completely separate issues.
  
  Below is what brought on the Uganda homosexual bill.
  
  Homosexual admits recruiting students
  "George ‘Georgina’ Oundo and another gay activist, “Brenda” Kiiza, were arrested on September 10, 2008, for “recruiting homosexuals”. But they were released on September 18, 2008 after their lawyer and the international human rights organisation, Human Rights Watch, protested."
  
  Uganda Refuses to Bow to United Nations Pressure to Accept Homosexuality
  "Warns homosexual indoctrination and recruitment taking place in some schools under guise of humanitarian relief organizations"
  
  Int'l Pressure on Uganda to Accept Homosexuality Caused Over-the-Top Sanctions: Christian Activist
  "Dr. Lively, a pro-family activist and attorney based in California was in Uganda in March to testify before Ugandan legislators now considering the legislation. In an interview with LifeSiteNews (LSN), Dr. Lively explained that the impetus for the bill was "a lot of external interference from European and American gay activists attempting to do in Uganda what they've done around the world - homosexualize that society." One of their main concerns, explained Lively, "are the many male homosexuals coming in to the country and abusing boys who are on the streets."
  
  Lively explained that the bill, as it is currently worded, is definitely too harsh. The law would impose the death penalty on those who would homosexually rape, and engage in homosexual intercourse with minors, and someone who would knowingly commit homosexual sex acts while having AIDS. Those found guilty of willingly engaging in homosexual sex acts would face life in prison."
  
  Uganda debates death penalty for gays
  "Influenced by Western lifestyle?
  David Bahati, the legislator sponsoring the bill, said he was encouraging "constructive criticism" to improve the law but insisted strict measures were necessary to stop homosexuals from "recruiting" schoolchildren.
  
  "The youths in secondary schools copy everything from the Western world and America," said high school teacher David Kisambira. "A good number of students have been converted into gays. We hear there are groups of people given money by some gay organizations in developed countries to recruit youth into gay activities."

  WELL.... Its good to see someone is doing some research. And to top it off.. George's story is what clicked in my head and caused me some repentance of my last post. I must promote love, healing and reconciliation. George became a Christian... if there has been any GOOD change in Him it is from Christ. For any religeous organization to exploit a new convert in this matter is reprehensible. If he is now an ex-gay... fine, but why would he support a strictly legal (and fruitless) solution to this problem when that's not what helped him? Did Law change his life? Was it the threat of imprisonment? Evidence would say not. He was a lost soul in need of a savior (which has nothing to do with same sex attraction one way or another). That is the inherent condition of every being on earth.
  Passing a law, throwing people in jail or killing them helps no one. No one was ever "cured of homosexuality" by imprisonment or death. I fully stand by these 2 earlier statements: This law is from the PIT. &...a government which only PUNISHES its citizens for wrong, does them an injustice.
  
  Those who truly love the Lord should speak out for the life changing power of Christ... NOT antigay legislation.

  We all turn 18 and we all go on with our lives this kind of cop-out BS is exactly the kind of things you criticize in religion. I don't care how long you were taught anything you have the ability and capacity to change and explore other things. No one makes you join a religion, you can refuse and sometimes that refusal has harsh consequences so if you decide to take take the easy way over your way then you still made a choice. Even with a gun to your head you can still say no and thousands do every year.
  
  People may take no action to better themselves in life because they have given up or are lazy or intimidated, religion may be an excuse given but its not the reason. If we are to go by your logic then there would be no one leaving Christianity, all victims of abuse would grow up to be abusers and the only people to succeed would be the children of the wealthy and successful, your blanket shift of responsibility is the cowards way out and the hiding place of quitters. This world is filled with people raised under religion and the Bible who rejected it and moved on to do great things. there are also scores of people who were raised in morals and had right living beaten into their heads yet went on to kill hundreds, because they chose to.

And Ugandan people are already being killed, displaced, enslaved as children, and made to kill others. Ever heard of Joseph Kony?

Stopping aid to Uganda through legitimate programs won't solve anything. It will just be hurting the people that have nothing to do with it.

  This is starting to sound like a twist to the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. Some CULT FOLLOWERS go to a country, infect them with their religious belief. Make them abandon any kind of safe sex practices because of that religious belief against it. Teach them to hate and fear other people in their society because that religion says so. Wait ten years for the people to become hopelessly infected with disease and fear. Then point to a scapegoat within the country so the people are too busy dying and killing each other to think clearly about who and what is really killing them. I'm I close?

No I don't think you are close Friendlyword. Joseph Kony and his so called Lord's Resistance Army are terrorist that have waged war against the Ugandan government since 1987. Because the Ugandan government hasn't done enough there have been appeals for international help to stop the attacks by the LRA. It has a reputation for extreme violence including random murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement of women and children, and forcing children to participate in hostilities. The group is considered a terrorist organization by the United States. Joseph Kony has formed the guerrillas into a religious cult based on a blend of Christianity, traditional African religion and witchcraft.
Christians are literally ‘crucified’ in LRA guerrilla raids.

Colebabie is right. "Stopping aid to Uganda through legitimate programs won't solve anything. It will just be hurting the people that have nothing to do with it."

  Why do you think Uganda ranks 157th in the UN's human development index? Why is less than 74% of its population literate? Why is the life expectancy at birth 44 years?
  
  Compare it to Canada, your home country: ranked 4th, with 99% literacy, life expectancy over 80 years?
  
  Which population is more fervently religious? Which population applies religious teachings more strongly to the development of civil law? Which population claims to be plagued by rapists and child molesters of only the homosexual variety?
  
  And which, as a devout Christian, would you rather live in?

  You already Asked, and I answered:
  Because of the spread of Aids. Because of the religious influence in that country against any type of birth control or protection from STDs. Because homosexuals are a minority you can still attack openly and with "GODS BLESSING". The Homosexuals in Uganda are the scapegoats that are used to deflect the blame from the STUPIDITY of the government in allowing AIDS to spread. They Burn Condoms instead of using them! The homosexual people of Uganda are simply an easy target.
  
  In Africa and in the Middle East GANGS OF STRIGHT MEN RAPE WOMEN AND CHILDREN DAILY! Children are sold into sexual slavery by Straight men every day! Women are raped to shame them by Straight Men. All these acts spread AIDS.

  Let's see. I had work today (getting out in a few). Gonna call my grandma and wish her a Happy Chanukkah. Then tonight I'm going on a date. Dinner and walking around downtown. They put up the Christmas tree, the Menorah, and an ice skating rink. They have carriage rides too. Tons of fun when it is 75 degrees outside Florida can try and pretend, but it is far from a White Christmas.

  Let's remember that the focus of this thread is a whole cloth indictment of an American sub population for advocating genocide. All of your finger wagging produces no evidence for this accusation. The suffering in Uganda is not helped by making false accusations. I find that people tend to make outlandish accusations to the degree they are void of the facts.
  
  Right now our church is raising money for a Christmas offering for a Christian missionary and his wife who have already been threatened for their faith in Uganda. The man was one time clubbed so badly that it was thought that he would be permanently crippled. He continues on there as a missionary in spite of the ongoing personal threat. He is raising several orphans at the home he constructed. I guess I could say that if you were he, you'd be more sympathetic to the plight of Christians in Uganda and might not be so reckless in your accusations against believers.
  
  In addition, you'll forgive if I'm not too impressed with the feigned compassion of people that advocate the wonton murder of children in the womb by women and doctors that conspire to kill them. Your take on sympathy does move me, but rather than warm my heart, it turns my stomach.

Yes marine I agree with you. There are innocent victims in Uganda, then there are the Joseph Konys. There are those who act in the name of "religion" yet their actions do not support the preachings. Killing homosexuals? Ridiculous. Kidnapping children, displacing families, and killing thousands of people? Ridiculous. Whether it is in the name of religion or in the name of hate, it is still disgusting.

Okay... here goes.
I am a man who lives with same gender attraction. I am also a born again Christian. I've read the bill. It stems from misplaced reverence and twisted religious logic. In short... it comes from the PIT. (I wonder what the heterosexual sex crimes laws are in that country?) Yes, I think adults who prey on minors or those who don't share the same sexual inclinations (any age) whether gay or straight, should face consequences imposed by a fair and just government. But they should also get help, because a government which only PUNISHES its citizens for wrong, does them an injustice.
I won't try to guess how many of the proponents of this law are actually Christians (know God)... I don't know. But any Christians who believe that this bill is the will of God are decieved. This is a tragedy in the making, and God will not rejoice with those who abuse and slaughter his creation. I have many x gay friends, all who would agree with me on this. JAMES 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. If you feel inclined to reply... please apply the attitude of this scripture & don't assume anything.
What can we do? Prayer is a powerful thing. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

I'll try one more time.

Do all Straight men rape and murder women and bury the bodies in their basement and backyard? Do all Straight women walk up and down 11th Avenue in New York City in a Red nighty and high heels, looking for Tricks?

When the Murder starts; do you think anybody that's Homosexual is going to be spared? Explain in your ten paragraphs and links; how the Ugandan people are going to pick and choose which Homosexual Citizen is a law abiding decent person, and which ones are child molesting criminals.

This CULT called the family has been in Uganda since 1986 and they have been destroying that country since then. The President seems to have been installed like the Shah of Iran. Maybe you missed this link that Pam put here explaining the whole history of this plot.

You characters just don't seem to get it do you. Homosexuality is not legal everywhere in the world like it is in the US, Canada, England and other western countries. Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda. And nobody, I mean not the UN, not some so called "human rights organization", not another country or not a gay rights anarchist organization has the authority to pressure Uganda or any other country for that matter into legalizing homosexuality. None of them, not ever. Especially when some of them are recruiting youth from schools into gay activities or when groups of people are given money by some gay organizations to recruit them.

I watched Richard Cohen interviewed by Rachel Maddow. He said he has helped thousands of people come out of homosexuality at the International Healing Foundation.

"When the Murder starts". There maybe some long jail time for predators that have committed homosexual rape, engaged in homosexual intercourse with minors or someone who knowingly commits homosexual sex acts while having AIDS. But I doubt if the killing will start though. David Bahati, the legislator sponsoring the bill, said he was encouraging "constructive criticism" to improve the law but insisted strict measures were necessary to stop homosexuals from "recruiting" schoolchildren.

Which is the main issue here. Homosexuals recruiting schoolchildren. And outside pressure from gay rights anarchist organizations.

Find the Guilty and punish the Guilty! Cant you see the slippery slope you are heading down? After all the homosexuals in Uganda are murdered; should we start with all Catholics Priest and kill all of them because some molest little boys? After all the Priests are dead. Let's kill all American White men because they are Serial Killers. And so on and on and on...
